A bittersweet yet romantic song themed around summer love.
Its poppy melody and sweet, charming vocals that stir the emotions will resonate with your heart.
Released in July 2024, this track stands as a symbol of Kaneyori Masaru’s musicality and passion.
Produced by Junji Ishiwatari, it captures the band’s unique worldview.
Highly recommended for those who feel the ache of love and the changing seasons—a perfect song to listen to in the summer.
Goodbye, Summer DaysHaruka to Miyuki
Among songs by girl bands, a quintessential summer ballad is Haruka to Miyuki’s folk-rock number “Sayonara Natsu no Hi.” This poignant piece, which evokes the loneliness and stillness of summer’s end, is characterized by melodies and vocals that sink deep into the heart.
In fact, the song is a cover of the track with the same title released in 1991 by Tatsuro Yamashita, a singer-songwriter with a charismatic following.
It’s wonderful how they draw out the original’s appeal—where the word “goodbye” lingers in the listener’s heart—through delicate nuances that only a female perspective can bring.
Summer Oh! VibesBando ja nai mon!
For people watching the music video for the first time, they might get the impression it’s just an idol group since the members aren’t holding instruments on screen.
The lyrics might come across as a bit chaotic, like wordplay, but I think this wild energy and the rhythm-play-like melody can get everyone hyped—idol fans, people who love girl bands, and kids alike.
Julyyayuyo
Remembering the lover you broke up with in the summer… maybe you’ve had an experience like that too.
This song is by Yayuyo, a band based in the Kansai region, and it’s included on their 2020 mini-album “Yayuyo.” It’s a very emotional piece where a wistful vocal intertwines with noisy guitars.
And although it’s a bittersweet song about heartbreak, you somehow feel encouraged after listening.
It’s a ballad that makes you think, “Cherish the past and move forward.”

From the sound alone, it feels like it expresses emotions popping like fizzy soda bubbles! There are probably people who find themselves following their crush with their eyes without even realizing it.

PA PA YA!! (feat. F.HERO)BABYMETAL
BABYMETAL, a new kind of idol group that fuses metal with cuteness, has become popular not only in Japan but around the world.
In 2019, they released “PA PA YA!!”.

Be sure to headbang along and blow off some steam.
The sky is always clear and blue.Chirol
Chirol’s “The Sky Is Always Clear and Blue” makes you forget the harsh summer heat.
This song is one of the great tracks by a girls’ band that conveys emotional passion.
Their performance skills are exceptional; the powerful vocals and guitar intertwine with a bass and drum groove that makes your body sway, delivering a wonderfully satisfying sound.
It’s also a great pick for cover bands—guitar, bass, and drum parts are all simple, so beginners can play with confidence!
