BUMP OF CHICKEN - ray (Romanized) Lyrics: Owakare shita no wa motto / Mae no koto datta youna / Kanashi hikari wa fuuji komete / Kakato suri herashitanda. Acclaim was reserved for the tracks "Hello, World!" and "Parade", with the former noted for its "complicated melody" on which vocalist Motoo Fujiwara "really shine", and the latter for its "captivating piano melody" with an "explosive climax". RAY is the 7th studio album released by Japanese pop-rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN. Taylor also wrote that with the track "Butterfly", the band "blending" EDM into their sound 2016 feels "dated", and that other Japanese bands "are getting better results" when doing so. Writing for The Japan Times, Ronald Taylor called Butterflies "nothing new", comparing it to the sound of the band's previous album, 2014's Ray, in that it is "like a giant retread of its usual alternative rock".
