Included as the B-side to FUNKY MONKEY BABYS’ 19th single “LIFE IS A PARTY” is the song “Natsu no Owari ni” (“At Summer’s End”).

The single was released in 2012, and the title track “LIFE IS A PARTY” was also used as the ending theme for the Nippon TV information program Sukkiri.

“Natsu no Owari ni” features an entirely acoustic sound, even incorporating the chirping of insects that evokes the scent of autumn drawing near.

Its lyrics, which revel in childhood memories, are deeply nostalgic.

Be sure to give it a listen at the wistful close of summer!

Banbanzai is a YouTuber group formed by three members: Miyu, Gishi, and Runa.

While they post videos on YouTube as YouTubers—such as eating challenges and pranks—they also upload cover songs, showing strong potential as musicians.

Among their works, “Yoihanabi” especially stands out: the trio’s powerful and emotional vocals poignantly and beautifully sing about the memory of watching fireworks with someone special, and it really tugs at the heart.

Singer-songwriter Shogo Hamada continues to captivate fans with songs that reflect the influence of classic rock and pop, paired with lyrics rich in message.

“Natsu no Owari” (End of Summer), the closing track of his 12th album, For Whom the Bell Tolls, sends shivers from its opening, featuring a piano and guitar that weave a nostalgic melody.

The imagery-laden lyrics seem to evoke not only summer, but life itself.

It’s a beautiful yet wistful number that listeners of any generation are likely to be absorbed by.
