What makes this sorrowful song feel even more heartrending is the voice of its vocalist, Nagi.

Alongside the many scenes of summer, what returns is that ache that hasn’t moved since that one summer.

It smells like midsummer.aimyon

Aimyon – It Smells Like a Midsummer Night [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

This is a song written specifically as the theme for the TBS drama “Heaven? ~Gokuraku Restaurant~.” Every time we hear a new track, we’re amazed by Aimyon’s range—from melancholy and poignancy to nostalgia.

This one has a slightly mysterious feel, with the mood shifting dramatically between the verses and the chorus.

The lyrics evoke a slightly eerie atmosphere, like a “bizarre adventure tale” where you keep moving through an unknown place that smells like a midsummer night.

Even so, you can still find those unmistakably Aimyon-like sounds and phrases in key moments, which is somehow reassuring.

It feels like it could become a new standard summer song for a new era!

The appeal of Atarayo’s music lies in its heartrending lyrics and Hitomi’s vocals.

This song portrays the bittersweet memories and lingering feelings that resurface with the arrival of summer, with striking expressions of a wounded heart feeling its pain amid the summer sea and scents.

Included on Kio ku no Hako, this track is part of a concept album released on August 23, 2023, and its music video also garnered attention.

Evoking the poignancy of summer’s end and a touch of nostalgia, this is a song we especially recommend to those whose hearts ache from summer memories or love.

“Tokyo” by the four-piece rock band Kinoko Teikoku, who went on hiatus in 2019.

Released in 2014 as their debut single, it’s also one of the band’s signature songs.

There are many songs titled “Tokyo,” but this one by Kinoko Teikoku is especially heartrending—a Tokyo song overflowing with emotion.

Although it’s a Tokyo song, it sings of summer days, and even though it depicts an ordinary day, it somehow stirs up deeply moving feelings.
