Those summer fireworksDREAMS COME TRUE
This is a track included on The Swinging Star, the album released in 1992 by DREAMS COME TRUE—known as Dorikamu—that became a massive hit.
The SENKOU-HANABI VERSION in the video was included on a best-of album as a piano arrangement.
Many people can relate to the experience of watching fireworks with a lover on a summer night, but not so many will find themselves, years later, gazing up at fireworks with that same person in the same way.
You and I are now watching fireworks with different people, and yet we still remember the fireworks we once watched together.
Isn’t this a song that resonates with many because of that shared feeling?
FIREWORKSNEWS
Overcoming countless hardships, NEWS celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2023.
Their 2024 album JAPANEWS sparked major buzz with its concept of traveling across Japan through music.
One of the songs that colors that story is FIREWORKS, which we’re introducing today.
The fireworks depicted in this track are not merely a beautiful summer night spectacle.
Rather, the way they burn out in an instant is layered with human, scorching passion—and the poignant afterglow that follows—an unmistakably NEWS-style dramatic expression.
The emotional melody crafted by Tomimi further enhances the song’s fragile, ephemeral worldview.
Strawberry-Colored Summer Fireworks Special Arrange Ver. 2024sutopuri
This track is a rearrangement of one of Stray Kids’—sorry—Strawberry Prince’s (SutoPuri’s) popular summer songs, newly reworked by member Root himself.
In the original, the fleeting fireworks blossoming and fading in the night sky mirrored the tender, bittersweet thrill of a love just beginning.
In this new version, within the same scene of gazing up at fireworks, the song has transformed into a far more mature piece that conveys the tangible time and bonds they’ve shared while walking together.
The shift in arrangement seems to overlap with SutoPuri’s own story of growth, making it a truly moving song.
Love over fireworkskaren na aibori
Released in 2022 by the rising idol group Karen na Ivory in Japan’s idol scene, the song “Hanabi yori Koi” is a wonderful anthem that distills the sparkle of youth set against a summer festival backdrop.
It captures the feeling of being so absorbed in your feelings for the person beside you that even the grand fireworks painting the night sky seem to fade, all carried by an effervescent sound.
The fleeting nature of fireworks, vanishing in an instant, poignantly mirrors the uncertainty of this love, making the emotional swell in the chorus truly moving.
It’s a track that’s sure to revive bittersweet memories.
fireworksKamiya Hiroshi
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call this a new masterpiece marking Hiroshi Kamiya’s 15th anniversary as an artist and a top runner in the voice acting world.
“fireworks,” included on his 2024 mini-album, takes summer fireworks coloring the night sky as its theme.
Through fleeting brilliance and the quiet that follows the end of a festival, it portrays beauty tinged with a subtle sense of melancholy.
Its message—suggesting that even past pain has become nourishment that connects to the present—overlaps with Kamiya’s own journey, and his gentle voice quietly stays by our side.
It’s a song I’d love for you to listen to alongside your summer memories.
fireworksBUZZ THE BEARS
“Hanabi” is a song that beautifully portrays fireworks—an iconic symbol of summer—and the emotions of the people who watch them.
Created by BUZZ THE BEARS, a three-piece band from Osaka, it skillfully captures the atmosphere of lovers shining like fireworks.
With an uptempo feel that highlights the power of the male vocals, it gives you the sensation of sparklers glittering right in your hand.
As you listen, vivid images of breathtaking fireworks lasting for just one night naturally come to mind.
Close your eyes and enjoy that world!
Fireworks MagicAnsako
How about a heart-fluttering, coming-of-age love song that overflows with feelings for someone special at the end of summer? It’s a track by Anzuko, a singer from Tottori Prefecture, and the lead song from her major-label debut mini-album released in 2018.
The band sound is exceptionally pleasant to listen to—brimming with drive yet somehow dreamlike, perhaps thanks to the beautiful piano tones.
It matches Anzuko’s down-to-earth vocals perfectly.
Lyrically, it will especially resonate with students.
