Mask-wearing fangirlЯeal
It’s a exhilarating rock tune from ЯeaL, who drew attention at the time as a teen girls’ band from Osaka! “Kamen Miha Joshi” is a track that belts out the slightly cynical truths of the SNS generation over blistering beats and soaring high-tone vocals.
Despite its aggressive sound, the music video shows refreshing scenes of the members cutting loose with friends by the seaside, perfectly syncing with the liberating feel of summer.
That contrast is exactly their hallmark—and under a blue sky, this is the ultimate summer song that’s sure to blow away your everyday frustrations.
100negoto
A pop tune that wraps that twinge of loneliness you feel as summer slips away in sparkling sound! “100” is a hidden gem by Negoto, the girls’ band that won popularity for their one-of-a-kind world.
Its driving electronic beat intertwines beautifully with the vocals of Sachiko Aoyama, whose voice is somehow fragile yet crystal clear.
The nostalgic atmosphere that evokes the end of summer makes it perfect for a twilight drive.
It’s a track with a curious charm that makes you want to sway to its comfortable groove even as you sink into a sentimental mood.
Summer loverSHISHAMO
Many people have either told a partner they were breaking up or been told so themselves.
That’s where I’d like to introduce “Natsu no Koibito” (“Summer Lover”).
It’s a song released by SHISHAMO in 2016, depicting the casual scenes of a summer romance and the breakup that eventually arrives.
Because it’s made clear early in the song that the breakup has already been decided, the everyday moments that follow feel all the more heartrending.
The latter part, which portrays inner conflict and then shifts into an a cappella section, is also incredibly emotional.
Summer Love AdvisorySHISHAMO
This song by SHISHAMO was also featured in JTB’s “Kokoro Odoru Natsutabi” (Heart-Dancing Summer Trip) campaign commercial.
When the CM first started airing, the title hadn’t been announced yet, and many people were probably curious about the name and the full picture of the song.
True to the band, it opens with a lively, energetic guitar riff that’s perfect for summer, giving it a fresh vibe.
The lyrics portray a love that can’t be stopped, even as the singer hesitates, wondering, “Is it okay to take this love seriously?” It’s a sweet-and-sour summer tune that’s sure to resonate.
LOCK☆ON☆BEACHCREA
It’s got a lively vibe that makes you want to whirl a towel in the air! The call-and-response is used effectively, letting you feel a party-like, festival-style buzz.
Then it slows down in the C section, revealing a fleeting danger and wistfulness like a summer fling, followed by a cathartic surge in the chorus.
And that structure at the end—gradually stripping back the layers, slowing down, and leaving a lingering sense of poignancy—completely got me! That’s the feeling.
