BUMP OF CHICKEN's Fujiwara Motoo (Vo & G) has been hospitalized after surgery for pneumothorax. As a result, the band's concert on March 31 at Shinkiba STUDIO COAST will be postponed.

The outcome of the surgery was a success, and he is expected to be discharged in a few days. Currently, he has "started rehabilitation in order to return to work." After discussions with the members and staff and considering his physical recovery, they decided to postpone the band's album release live on the 31st. The live will now be held at the same venue on July 15. 

In terms of their nationwide tour 'BUMP OF CHICKEN TOUR: WILLPOLIS 2014', BUMP OF CHICKEN will kick off on April 5 at Makuhari Messe as scheduled.
