Summer endsPapaya Paranoia

Papaya Paranoia – This Is the End (FULL ALBUM)
Summer endsPapaya Paranoia

It’s by a girl band and does include some summer-related keywords, but can we really call it a summer song? It’s an unconventional track.

I’m captivated by its mysterious, ghost-story-like, distinctly Japanese-feeling sound and effects—strange and eerie in the best way.

You can even hear voices like seagulls.

It might be perfect for people who are tired of the typical summer songs!

OH！SHISHAMO

Many people feel drained because it’s just too hot, right? If you’re looking for a song to keep your spirits up even in the sweltering summer, I recommend SHISHAMO’s “OH!”.

The lyrics cheer on everyone who’s taking on a challenge, and just listening to it will lift your energy.

If you’re pushing yourself at work or in your studies this summer, it’ll give you courage—so definitely give it a listen.

to shake; to sway; to waverHump Back

You just can’t get enough of those solid, punchy drums, the weighty bassline, and the strummed guitar.

It’s a track by Hump Back, a rock band from Osaka Prefecture, included on their second mini-album “hanamuke,” released in 2017.

The lyrics, themed around the end of summer, mesh perfectly with the alternative vibe, creating a heady sense of intoxication.

Maybe it’s the title, but it makes you want to gently sway your body from side to side.
