BUMP OF CHICKEN bassist Naoi Yoshifumi has resumed his activities. He appeared on the band's regular radio program 'PONTSUKA!!' on June 7 after nine long months.

Naoi's activities were suspended last September after it was reported that he was involved in an adulterous relationship in the past. On the band's official website and social media accounts, Naoi wrote, "Please give me the chance to work hard at cleaning the stains off of the signboard that I tainted. Please give me the chance to work hard at fixing the damage on the signboard that I damaged."
