A summery tune where laid-back raps from the duo glide comfortably over a tropical, languid beat.
The lyrics capture the bittersweetness of summer’s end and a faint flutter of romance, letting you sink into a sentimental mood just by listening.
Included on their first album “Halcali Bacon,” released in September 2003, this hidden gem managed to stay on the Oricon charts for 20 weeks despite never being released as a single.
The track produced by Tomoyuki Tanaka of Fantastic Plastic Machine is outstanding as well—no wonder it drew renewed attention, becoming a global viral hit on social media with dance videos from 2025 onward.

This song was written in August 2018 as the theme for the film “Ao-Natsu: Kimi ni Koi Shita 30-nichi.” In August 2020, it became Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s first track to surpass 100 million total streams, and by January 2024 it had exceeded 500 million.
The lyrics open with summer icons like cool breezes, wind chimes, and sunflowers, giving an initially refreshing impression, yet they carefully portray the complex emotions unique to adolescence—such as a friend’s lies and anxieties about love.
It’s a song that celebrates taking action in youth rather than staying passive.
Perfect for those who want to step into a new romance at the start of summer.
Star Lablationkerakera

An upbeat love song that sings of wavering feelings and firm resolve.
Released in May 2013, it drew attention as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Last Cinderella” starring Ryoko Shinohara.
It’s a motivational song that sets the feelings of a woman who, though awkward, tries to pursue love straightforwardly to a bright and catchy melody.
The careful portrayal of her journey from putting on a brave face to becoming honest with herself gently gives listeners a push forward.
Isn’t it the perfect track for livening up a karaoke session or encouraging a friend struggling with love?

summer hazeatarayo

Atarayo is a three-piece band with the concept of “a band that grows by feeding on sorrow.” Their song Natsugasumi is a number women will want to pick when going to karaoke with a man.
The song features a female part sung by vocalist-guitarist Hitomi and a male part by guitarist Maashii, making it perfect for splitting parts between a man and a woman.
It also works well when going to karaoke with just women, letting a higher-voiced and a lower-voiced singer divide the parts.
