sparklergagaga supi
Gagaga SP put folk music through the filter of punk and gave birth to a completely new form of punk.
This song portrays the triviality—and the beauty—of myself, who remembers the significance of “you,” whom I loved back in those summer days, every time summer comes around.
Contrary to the gritty, passionate vocals, the lyrics depict a delicate love—the way a sparkler triggers memories of the person I once loved—and that contrast is incredibly appealing.
The powerful vocals and driving tempo evoke the feeling of summer’s arrival.

Like fireworks—beautiful yet somehow pensive and bittersweet—it’s a track that lingers, and many will be reminded of that summer, those summer fireworks.

Perfect for reminiscing about summer or for playing at a fireworks festival with someone special.
Nagi, Bou, Hana-madoiYorushika
While many firework-themed songs are either mellow or pop, this track is a rock-oriented piece with electric guitar front and center.
It’s a song by Yorushika, a two-person rock unit consisting of n-buna, who handles lyrics, composition, and arrangement, and suis, who provides vocals.
The track is included on their second album, Elma, released in 2019.
Although the lyrics aren’t entirely bright, the song expresses the exhilaration that summer brings in an emotional and dynamic way.
Yorushika has several songs with titles in the “X, X, X” format, and this is one of them.
Fireworks at High NoonNaka Kousuke
Atsushi Nakakōri’s “Mahiru no Hanabi” (Daytime Fireworks), released in 2006, is a poignant song that gently resonates in the heart.
It evokes the image of fireworks shining alongside time gone by—so vivid you can almost see the scene flicker behind your eyelids—and brings to mind Japan’s beautiful summers and fireworks.
It’s surely the distinctly Japanese sensibility woven throughout the lyrics and melody that makes it feel that way.
While fireworks are typically associated with lighting up the night sky, this song, true to its title, tells a slightly unusual memory of enjoying fireworks in the daytime.
