[Fireworks Songs] Masterpieces that mirror the heart in beautiful, fleeting fireworks [2026] (21–30)
A fleeting fireworkNGT48
NGT48, the Niigata-based idol group, released their 10th single “Isshun no Hanabi” in August 2024.
It drew attention for featuring the group’s first-ever triple center, led by Miyu Fujisaki, Nanami Otsuka, and Haruka Ogose.
The song portrays the fleeting sadness of a transient love, mirrored in fireworks that bloom in the night sky only to vanish in an instant.
Its mid-tempo, slightly nostalgic melody deftly captures both the glittering memories and the loneliness that follows.
It’s a beautiful, ephemeral piece that perfectly evokes the feelings at summer’s end—an outstanding track to savor on long autumn nights.
The End of Summeraibii karaa
From the very beginning, the song takes a dramatic turn, opening with a vocal solo of the chorus lyrics and gradually layering in the piano.
It pulls you in all at once from the first hook.
Though a rock band, their piano-forward sound resonates comfortably and sets off the wistful vocals—this is Ivy to Color, a band formed in Osaka.
The track is featured on their second mini-album, “Bursting Love, Melted Magic.”
Fireworks are emblematic of summer, especially as it draws to a close—and, as if by fate, so is the spark of new love.
This song captures that bittersweet flavor of youth, as if sealing it in a single track.
Evening Fireworksban banzai
Banbanzai is a YouTuber group formed by three members: Miyu, Gishi, and Runa.
As YouTubers, they post videos such as eating challenges and pranks on YouTube, while also uploading cover songs—showcasing their strong potential as musicians.
Among their works, “Yoi Hanabi” especially stands out: the trio’s powerful and emotional vocals poignantly and beautifully sing about the memory of watching fireworks with someone special, striking a deep chord in the heart.
fireworksJam9
It’s a heartbreak number packed with the bittersweet feeling of summer, recalling the fireworks you once watched with an ex.
The song is by Jam9, a music unit based in Shizuoka Prefecture, and it was released as a digital single in 2012.
The tune itself is catchy and easy to get into, but the lyrics really hit home.
Do you find yourself thinking about someone you used to date every time summer comes around? This song might gently sit by your side.
NatsuneYuuri
Have you heard of the buzzworthy Hulu drama “Dry Flower: Room in July”? It blends the worlds of artist Yuuri’s songs “Dry Flower” and “Kakurenbo” into a live-action series.
The song “Natsune,” written specifically for episode 1, features lyrics that say, “Summer is ending, but our relationship has only just begun,” making it a quintessential Yuuri-style love song.
The way the lyrics parallel the burst of fireworks with the singer’s own emotions is brilliant.
If there’s someone you like, it’s a song you’ll want to listen to together!
Tokyo Summer Session feat. CHiCOHONEY WORKS
Set against the backdrop of a summer festival, the story unfolds through the differing views on love of six individuals as they navigate romantic mind games.
They like each other, but both are still too hesitant to make a move; through the event of “fireworks,” each becomes aware of their own feelings and is able to convey them to the other.
It’s a lovely story.
The song is very cute, capturing a pure, innocent high-school vibe.
Just listening to it makes you excited for the fireworks festival!
fireworkschanmina
This is a song by Chanmina, known as the “Beyoncé of Nerima,” about fireworks.
The lyrics, which use fireworks—burning briefly yet beautifully—as a metaphor for youth, are exquisite.
It doesn’t end with simple sadness; by adding scenes of romance, it portrays youth in a layered way! It really makes you feel how powerful young love can be.
I’ve heard that Chanmina is half Korean and half Japanese, and that she spent her childhood moving between the U.S., Japan, and Korea, so her mixed sense of word choice was likely honed back then as well.
The part in the chorus where it twirls around feels especially satisfying—an absolute delight of a track!
