Hanabi is a track by the co-ed performance group AAA that evokes the feel of summer.

It’s a mid-tempo song that conveys the night breeze of summer and a slightly wistful mood.

The lyrics paint scenes of a summer festival the two of them attended—scooping goldfish and fireworks shining beautifully—while the bittersweet melody, which brings back memories of someone they’d always loved, tugs at the listener’s heart.
