Secret Summertsubaki fakutorī
Sung over a sparkling sound is a slightly bitter love story.
It’s a song performed by Tsubaki Factory from Hello! Project.
The track will be released in July 2025.
With a refreshing sound that conjures up images of a sun-drenched poolside and lyrics that depict the protagonist’s aching feelings as they waver in a forbidden relationship, the contrast really gets you.
The mix of exhilaration and immorality hits you right in the heart.
I think it’s perfect for a summer drive.
fireworksAdo
Summer often carries a strong image of being fresh and fun, but as it draws to a close, there’s a certain indescribable sadness, isn’t there? The song “Hanabi” captures that unique, hard-to-put-into-words atmosphere of summer’s end.
It’s written and composed by the Vocaloid producer Kujira, and sung by Ado.
The scenery is depicted in novel-like detail, letting you dive into the story and enjoy it.
Though the melody jumps up and down dramatically, the slow tempo should make it relatively easy to sing.
Little BirdsKamishiraishi Mone
Singer Mone Kamishiraishi is active not only in music but also in a wide range of fields such as acting and voice acting.
“Little Birds,” included on her 3rd album note, features a clear, refreshing vocal over acoustic guitar arpeggios that feels so pleasant.
The lyrics paint summer scenes that suit a landscape of blooming sunflowers—something many listeners will likely overlap with their own youth.
With a somewhat fragile ensemble that stirs the heart, it’s a track you’ll want to keep listening to.
fireworksaiko
Beloved by people of all ages and genders, the artist aiko has a strong image as the queen of upbeat, pop love songs—so much so that it’s hard to think of anyone who could surpass her in that area, and many listeners deeply relate to her music.
Her song Hanabi is one of her early tracks, released in 1999, and it has maintained enduring popularity—indeed, it’s become a classic of the summer season.
While it carries the vibe of a lively summer tune, it’s actually a slightly bittersweet number that sings about the feelings of summer love.
Sparklers feat. Lila IkutaSato Chiaki
It’s a gem of a song by Chiai Sato that paints gently sweet-and-sour summer memories.
The lyrics, which overlay the fleeting sparkle of sparklers with the bittersweet feelings of young love, really touch the heart.
Born from a collaboration with Lila Ikuta, this track is included on the album “BUTTERFLY EFFECT.” It was pre-released on June 14 and officially released on the 28th, making it a fresh new tune.
With a style that sings of the excitement and melancholy felt amid the bustle of summer festivals and of memories to be cherished, it’s sure to resonate with women in their teens and twenties.
It’s a masterpiece that captures the delicate nuances of tender love—one you’ll find yourself wanting to listen to on a summer night, almost by reflex.

Summer of GoodbyeTeshima Aoi
If you’d rather spend a slightly sentimental, more grown-up summer than a lively one, I recommend Aoi Teshima’s “Summer of Goodbye (From Up on Poppy Hill).” Released in 2011, this song was used as the theme for the Studio Ghibli film From Up on Poppy Hill.
It was originally a number released by Ryoko Moriyama in 1976.
The lyrics overlay the singer’s emotions onto the summer sea, wind, and living creatures, expressing a hope that, through them, she might someday be able to meet that special someone again.
It’s a song that conveys a woman’s quiet, refined feelings.
Midsummer day!Nogizaka 46
This is a song by the idol group Nogizaka46.
It was released in 2025 as a track on their 39th single.
Chosen as the “Nogizaka46 Meiji Jingu Stadium Performance 10th Memorial Song,” it’s an up-tempo summer tune.
Its bouncy rhythm and liberating melody line feel great, making you want to take off running as soon as you hear it.
The lyrics express feelings for a loved one encountered by chance on a midsummer day, and that sweet-and-sour worldview is part of its charm.
It’s a bright piece that also spotlights the expressive performance of center member Haruka Kaki.
