#bump of chicken

[nitw]

for any dunmeshi fans who like the first opening and aren't already familiar with bump of chicken, PLEASEEEEEE check out the rest of their stuff i'm begging you.

i think the song tsukiniji comes close to the vibe of sleep walking orchestra, but most of their songs are more of a typical alt rock style than that. aurora arc is probably my favorite album of theirs though heheheheheheheheh

Sleep Walking Orchestra - BUMP OF CHICKEN

Anime: Dungeon Meshi

[rukafais]

Thinking about this tiny adventuring party from the Sleep Walking Orchestra music video.... I love them

[fallensnowfan]

Ooh, Bump of Chicken put out a music video for the song used for the Dungeon Meshi opening. Really charming and fun.

[jadeazora]

Oh yea, today is the 2nd anniversary of Gotcha!

Honestly, this brought tears to my eyes, my favorite piece of Pokémon animation out there!

Love when a band does an anime OP, and the band's music video for the full version goes the route of touching on similar visual motifs to the source material, without just straight up being the anime.

Bump of Chicken's Sleepwalking Orchestra is as much of a loveletter to old school RPGs as Delicious in Dungeon is.

Since so many of my friends are getting into Dungeon Meshi, I thought you might want to see the original music video for the song that is used as the opening - it's honestly really charming! It honestly makes me like the song even more.

[truelabenthusiast]

okay but sleep walking orchestra has no reason to go so hard

DUNGEON MESHI OP / ENGLISH LYRICS

Sleep walking Orchestra By BUMP OF CHICKEN

translation by me ! lyrics below the cut <3

I've dreamed it would be taken by an empty hand and would lead me away from here.

The light that shines through the window, it's the first friend I've made on the floor.

Sometimes, it's like magic when several ordinary things overlap, or sometimes it's just magic that resides there.

But it might've been the devil that wouldn't let me wake up from this dream.

I realized I'm a bird crying, trapped in a cage.

Learning what I've lost, I can never get back.

Why does my body want to keep living?

What does my heart really want?

The world breathes in, proving it and I's life, exhaling over and over again.

Now, I can hear the key turning, hearing the things I've searched for in a whisper.

My red blood cycling through my body, I pull the invisible string.

Separating myself from night and day, constantly faced with choices.

No matter the offers given, everything I treasure is still out of reach.

Do you want to regain it?

Or do you just long for it?

Disappearing beyond the bonfire?

Well, let's go now. We're not here yet.

How far do we go til we wake up?

In a dream that doesn't exist or fade away.

If you truly still want to move forward,

Sing the song of the wind that blows through you until the dawn.

No matter who is lost, the stars will continue to revolve.

Tomorrow turning today into the past.

In this cruelly perfect world, I stumble down my narrow path.

Now, the drum of my echoing heart, leads me on my only path.

My feet still doubting, but I know they will carry us forward.

Why does my body want to keep living?

What does my heart really want?

The world breathes in, proving it and I's life, exhaling over and over again.

Now, I can hear the key turning, hearing the things I've searched for in a whisper.

My red blood cycling through my body, the invisible thread begins to unravel.

now that i'm more confident in spanish, i'm back at it with my japanese notes! it's been a while, so some of my kanji is a bit messy, but im surprised at proud at how much i remember from what i was studying before!

also, why can't all kanji have furigana... it'd be so much easier to sing along to songs
