I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Summer songs that get middle schoolers excited: Popular tracks to soundtrack your youth (91–100)

Natsumatopoeia＝LOVE

=LOVE (Equal Love) / 14th Single “Natsu Matopé” [MV full]

Natsumatopoeia＝LOVE

Natsumatopé is packed with a girl’s desire to enjoy summer to the fullest.

It’s the 14th single from =LOVE, the idol group produced by Rino Sashihara, featuring a double center with Maika Sasaki and Iori Noguchi.

The catchy, well-rhymed title “Natsumatopé” is a coined word combining “natsu” (summer) and “onomatopoeia,” and the chorus lyrics spotlight sound—worth paying attention to.

It’s a summer tune recommended for girls who want to be greedy and enjoy not just romance, but every last bit of summer!

MAN WITH A MISSION 『FLY AGAIN 2019』

FLY AGAIN 2019MAN WITH A MISSION

MAN WITH A MISSION’s “FLY AGAIN 2019” is a polished-up version of their earlier signature song “FLY AGAIN.” Since it was also used as the theme song for the Monday 9 p.m.

drama “Radiation House: Radiology Department’s Diagnostic Report,” I bet many people discovered it through that.

Its fiery sound is perfect for summer.

My Hair is Bad – You Are the Sea

You are the seaMy Hair is Bad

When it comes to summer, the sea is the first thing that comes to mind, so I bet many people are looking for songs with an ocean theme.

“Kimi ga Umi” by My Hair is Bad is a rock song with exactly that theme.

The emotional vocals and exhilarating sound come together to make a perfect summer anthem.

The lyrics are relatable too, so try listening while taking the time to read through them.

Perverted Gentlemen Club (WillyWonka × VIGORMAN) – WAVY Prod. GeG

WAVYHentai Shinshi Kurabu

This summer song by the Osaka rap group Hentai Shinshi Club has a slightly bittersweet vibe, doesn’t it? Contrary to the group’s name, both the rapping and the sound are super cool.

I hope you, even as a middle schooler, become someone this slick too.
