Because it’s too brightNEW!Sundae May Club
As an ultra-super pop band out of Nagasaki drawing attention with their fresh sound, Sundae May Club has arrived.
This track, which opens their major-label debut full-length album Namina-minaranu released in April 2026, is a perfect choice for a band cover.
While rooted in bright, fast-driving guitar rock, it carefully captures the dazzling moment when the seasons change and a touch of bewilderment.
The straightforward, high-velocity band ensemble makes it ideal for groups whose members have only just started playing their instruments.
The striking guitar phrase that sounds from the intro may be a bit challenging for beginners, but since it’s not exactly shred-level fast, we’d love to see those aiming for an intermediate level give it a try.
Start by slowing down the tempo and practice thoroughly!
