"Ame furi Basu tei~" (raining at the bus stop)
It's a line from the "Tonari no TOTORO" song.

A while ago, BUMP OF CHICKEN performed "Tonari no TOTORO" on the spot during their radio show, it's the loveliest/warmest/funniest version I've ever heard!

After painted this, the picture brought me back to my childhood growing up in Malaysia; where you get tropical rain, the greens/plants/trees are moist due to the humid weather (especially during the rain)... you see frogs jumping around in the rain etc. I miss those times.

PS: BUMP OF CHICKEN are childhood friends who met each other since kindergarten (prep).
From left to right - Hideo Massu, Yoshifumi Naoi (Chama), Motoo Fujiwara, Hiroaki Masukawa.

Ame furi~~~ Basu tei~~~~~
THEY'RE SO CUTE AND ADORABLE AND GLOMPABLE AND *SQUEEEEZZEEE~~~~~*
*calms* Lamp-san watches over them, literally XD And there's a tototo and the neko bus on their umbrellas XD Is that the neko bus or just a cat?
Can Chama's tricycle fit on the bus? The driver will just have to let him because he's such a CUTSIE IKKLE PINEAPPLE HEAD *went out of control*
*calms again* They'll get eaten by the neko bus (if that's what they're waiting for) because they're too cute~~

*LET SING* TONARI NO TO-TO-RO TOTORO~ (yaba yaba) TO-TO-RO TOTORO!! XDXD

XD I think that's just a random sleepy neko on that umbrella since they're waiting for the neko bus I think heheheheh.

In that case, the nekopon bus will have to let Chama ride his tricycle up~~
Everytime I see that nekopon bus, it gives me this huge "I love kids and furry things" vibe.... I don't even know what kind of vibe that is, but it must be children-friendly.

Aww! They look so cute standing in the rain at the bus stop. ^__^ Great job turning them into little children, they look so childlike yet still like their adult selves in expression and hair-do. Adorable.
