#BUMP OF CHICKEN TWITTER SERIES#
Other than being another catchy beat from BUMP OF CHICKEN, this Pokémon music video really captures what the series means to a lot of people without leaning too heavily into nostalgia.
The four-member unit also has an open fondness for video games and anime, so it seems like Pokémon and Bump of Chicken should make a perfect combination and this beautiful anime music video finally. From there, the video plays out as a blend of real-life childhood memories injected with the magical world of Pokémon, an intense blend of colors being used to highlight the energy of youth as a young boy and girl wake up, run to school and play with various Pokémon, most prominently Eevee and Pikachu. Much like Pokémon itself, Bump of Chicken has been consistently popular since the late ‘90s and boasts a fan base with a wide range of ages.
In this regard, the video is a resounding success, playing to fans of all generations of the franchise.Īside from the Pokémon logo that opens the video, the music video starts off with a group of boys walking around an abandoned railroad track, capturing a playful childhood innocence and a memory of long-lost summers without a worry in the world. With this video, the animation is attempting to evoke the innocence of the series and the joy that its characters have brought to millions around the world.
