Sonoko Inoue – Summer Love

This is a summer love song by Sonoko Inoue that was chosen as the ending theme for the drama “Koe Koi.” It cutely captures a girl’s feelings as she falls for someone and her world begins to sparkle.

Like the girl in the song, many women find that falling in love changes their world and makes them feel more positive.

It’s a love song we’d love people who are in love now—or hoping to fall in love this summer—to listen to!

Kayoko Yoshizawa 'Left Behind' MUSIC VIDEO

Yoshizawa Kayoko’s “Nokotteru” captures that poignant air at summer’s end.

Released in 2017, the song portrays a woman caught between seasons—left behind as summer turns to autumn, yet wishing to remain in summer a little longer.

Maybe because summer ends so abruptly, the change of seasons feels more heartrending than at any other time.

Rather than simply expressing loneliness, the song voices feelings like a lover’s departure—emotional, like a cry from the heart.

As you listen, you can picture the woman at the center of the story.

If you feel that ache when summer ends, try singing it while seeing yourself in her.
