When you think of summer, many people probably think of this song! With its distinctive vocals and straightforward lyrics, it’s a track loved across generations.
It tells the story of a bittersweet love: on a certain summer day at a festival with someone you like, you look for the right moment to confess, but end up making only small talk and never manage to say “I like you.” You can feel the sweet-and-sour, true-to-life youth of the group, who debuted when they were in junior high.
The way the story unfolds with a pleasant sense of speed is also part of its charm.

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.

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!

Base Ball Bear is a four-piece rock band.
