To be connected with passion..BoC
8/03/03
BoC's performance in the RIJF was a success!  The article can be found here. It is the link on the right hand column with the time of  15:00.  The reporter mentions that BoC has been participating in RIJF since 2000. Check the live pics in gallery 3 here!
The set list for BoC performance in RIJF was:
 
LAMP
Sailing Day
Lost Man
Laughmaker
Diamond
Tentai Kansoku
Everlasting Lie
Snow Smile
 
The article mentions how one would think Snow Smile would not fit in with
the summer. However, he mentions that it helped in the hot weather to think about the snow
and the beautiful lyrics. The article also mentions that at the end of their performance
Fujiwara walked off the stage towards the crowd and handed his water bottle to one of the
people in the front row!  The reporter ends by saying Bump of Chicken delivers precious
communication and people were impressed that it was so instantaneous.

8/02/03
BoC's new tour goods for the Rock in Japan Festival are here!  The goods will be sold at RIJF on the 3rd of August.  This is when BoC is scheduled to perform.  Be sure to check back on the 3rd for photos of the band from the live performance!  Check out the tour goods at the official site.
 
BoC MTV interview w/ photos.
8/01/03
This interview was done back when the Lost Man/ Sailing Day single was released in March.  Take a look at the pictures under the Photo Flipbook section: the WCEX and the Artist Room.  Poor Motoo looks like he needs to be fed more..haha...check the link at MTV Japan.
 
 
Special BoC/excite official website!
This special website was made for the limited edition of Lostman/Sailing Day.  You can take a look at the PV's for both of the singles as well as special pictures!  There is also a section for the special edition t-shirts that were tied in with the movie 'One Piece.'  The last section has 97 wallpapers for download!  All the pictures used for the wallpaper were taken by Naoi.  If the wallpapers don't download as soon as you click on the pictures be sure to download the special program on the top right hand corner (by the green arrow). 
 
Interesting facts...
I just downloaded the a Love & Porkin special from Winmx!  This video contains clips from the tour and shows excited fans waiting for the show to begin.  The best part however is the interview with BoC.  They discuss the Snow Smile single and point out secrets hidden in the PV (promotional video).  The Snow Smile video continues of the Tentai Kansoku PV.  Check out all of the hidden secrets in the special page I have created with screen caps from the video! 

12/17
The Multimedia section has been revamped with a new addition to the site: PV's!  Just wanted to put some of BoC's Promotional Videos for all of the fans to see.  I wanted to take time to say thanks to my boy, Ko, for his hard work on compressing the PV's and his dedication to the Jpop/rock scene. 
 
12/13
New songs up for download!  Grab Battle Cry and Sailing Day from the Multimedia section!  These are two very fast paced songs!
 
12/7
December is here and the holidays are very close!  Merry Christmas to all of my visitors!  The special picture on the home page is from the Snow Smile PV.  I have to say it is one of BoC's best PVs.  I will update the multimedia section once I have a break from finals.  Please make your requests.  I have already received a request for Sailing Day.  Look for the new songs to be up 12/12 weekend. 
 
11/4
It's November!  For this month the theme is Snow Smile! The new picture for the homepage is taken from the Snow Smile PV. Thanks to both subpopkid and Mace for leaving encouraging words in the guest book!  Mace: I have never uploaded any PVs.  I would recommend Winmx as the best way to obtain BoC PVs and live performance.  I could also send them to you through some instant messenger.  If you would prefer through messenger email me and let me know your screen name.  Updates on new songs for download will come by next week!  Check by soon!

A great update for the month of October!  The picture for the homepage was updated!  The picture is of BoC's performance at SpaceShower TV's Music Video Awards (VMA) in May!  They performed Melody Flag during this event.  They also won an award for the Snow Smile video!

The BoC website was not redone as I was hoping :(   Well, I guess the problem must have been just some technical difficulties.  Check out the multimedia section for new songs to download!  Thanks to those who requested the songs!
 
07/13
For the past several days the Bump of Chicken official website has not been working. If anyone knows the reason for this please contact me here.  All the pictures of the albums/singles/videos have been lost.  I am hoping this means the website is being redone and we could hope for a new look.

The Discography section has gone through a vast change!  Visit it now and tell me what you think!  I updated the songs for download on the Multimedia section!  Now there are 4 new songs to download!  Thanks to superjohnio for his request!  If anyone tried to email me the past couple of weeks and the mail bounced back...it was because I was on vacation and my account was bombarded w/ emails!  Please try to contact me again!
