In 2024, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their debut, they will reunite. It first appeared on the YouTube channel “THE FIRST TAKE” on August 16th (Friday). It is still fresh in the memory that they performed the national hit number “Runner” that transcended eras and generations for the first time in 14 years and became a hot topic of conversation.

Sunday, August 25, 2024 will mark the 40th anniversary of his major debut, and on the day of his major debut, he released his first new song in 26 years, “IKIGAI” (https://youtu.be/bJLtYq8XEv0) . Regarding this song, vocalist Sunplaza Nakano-kun says, “It seems that the word “Ikigai” is starting to become a common language around the world, like “Kawaii” and “Mottainai.” However, we Japanese also actually use this word. I think you may have forgotten about it for a while, but I hope you will listen to our song and rediscover what IKIGAI is!” This time, just like the song, the design of the distribution jacket for “IKIGAI” has become a hot topic. As with their debut single “Weekly Tokyo ‘Shoujo A'”, Mr. Kazuyuki Sekiguchi of Southern All Stars drew portraits of the members 40 years later. Many music fans, especially fans, must have been inspired by the playfulness unique to Bakufu Slump and the release of a new song on the day of their 40th anniversary. And as an even bigger surprise, it was announced that the best album “40th Anniversary BEST IKIGAI 2024” will be released on Wednesday, October 23, 2024.
This is the first best album release in 15 years since “GOLDEN☆BEST” released on August 19, 2009. This best album is the first ever in Bakufu Slump’s history, with all songs selected by the members. Of course, the order of the songs has also been determined by the members, and it is a work that not only fans but all music fans can enjoy, allowing you to directly feel the “latest blast slump of 2024”. This best album, which will be released as a 2-CD set, includes all existing songs rearranged for the first time on DISC 1. In addition, the hit number “Runner” is also called “Runner (Chinese version)” and is sung in Chinese by Sunplaza Nakano, which is also included for the first time. All songs on DISC 2 have been remastered to coincide with the release of this best album. It’s a best-of album that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, such as listening to it while
remembering those days with the high-quality sound that has been reborn with the latest technology, or experiencing the blast slump for the first time. Furthermore, the “My Love” series, in which each member sings about their hometown, includes all songs from Nagareyama (Sunplaza Nakano-kun), Kashiwa (Pappara Kawai), Sakaide (Funky Sueyoshi), and Kyoto (Barbe Q Wasada). It is also worth noting that there are.
Regarding this best album, the members are:
“I tried my best to sing Runner in Chinese. It took the longest time to record so far. I hope you can hear my efforts!” (Sunplaza Nakano-kun)
“I think there are songs that definitely belong on the best album!” and songs that feel like “They definitely won’t be on the list!”, but I tried to select songs that are perfectly in between! I hope you enjoy listening to them. ” (Pappara Kawai)
“I arranged the songs keeping in mind that if I were to perform live songs from the past, I would not do them like this. There are two songs that have drum solos (lol) (Funky Sueyoshi)
“I played it in a way that my older self would still think was cool. Please come see me live.”
(Barbe Q Wasada)
He says.
Then, the week after the album was released, they started their first Bakufu Slump tour in about 26 years. This tour, titled “Bakufu Slump ~ IKIGA ~ 40th Anniversary of Debut Japan-China Friendship LIVE ‘Your IKIGAI Nandesuka?'” will begin at Aichi/Nagoya E.L.L., where they have been performing since before their debut, as the eve of the tour, and then Hyogo/Hyogo. There will be 4 performances in 3 cities: Hyogo Arts Center and LINE CUBE SHIBUYA in Tokyo. I can’t wait to see what songs will be performed from among the many famous songs at the live performance. There is no doubt that this is a live show you must see in 2024.
A blast slump where various news will be announced one after another on the 40th anniversary of their major debut, including the release of their new song “IKIGAI” for the first time in 26 years, their first appearance on the YouTube channel “THE FIRST TAKE”, the release of their best album, and the long-awaited tour.
