Released in July 2025, the track serves as the culmination of a six-month consecutive project.
With lyrics that free your heart—telling you not to worry about everyday rules and conventions—and a surf music-inspired sound, it’s impossible not to feel your spirits lift.

ReunionVaundy
This is a number by singer-songwriter Vaundy.
It serves as the opening theme for the TV anime “The Summer Hikaru Died” and is set for release in July 2025.
Vaundy himself delved into the original work and created the song based on a sense of “unease about not knowing what will happen next.” The rock sound, tinged with a foreboding atmosphere, is distinctly Vaundy.
The lyrics reflect the joy of a long-awaited reunion while projecting an unshakable doubt and loneliness—the fear that the other person may no longer be the same.
It meshes seamlessly with the original’s raw, prickling mood and its delicate, complex emotional nuances.
Short-Sleeved AngelHKT48
A pure, refreshing song that feels like dashing through the dazzling summer sun.
Released in July 2025 as HKT48’s 19th single, this track sets sweet and slightly bittersweet feelings of love—where a crush’s casual gestures look almost angelic—to a light, buoyant melody.
Listen under the summer blue sky, and your romantic mood is sure to soar! Take this song along and make some wonderful memories.
Ponytail and ScrunchieAKB48
A single by the female idol group AKB48 that built such widespread name recognition that even listeners unfamiliar with idols know it—this is their 16th major release.
It has numerous tie-ins, starting with serving as the ending theme for the variety show “Naruhodo! High School,” as well as being used in commercials.
Despite its driving arrangement, the key is low and the melody is relaxed, making it comfortable to sing.
It’s a summer song that symbolizes AKB48’s golden era and gets even more exciting when you sing it with friends.
Midsummer’s Sounds good!AKB48
AKB48 is a girls’ group that embodies the concept of “idols you can go meet,” symbolizing the idol scene since the 2000s.
Their 26th major single, “Manatsu no Sounds good!” is a refreshing summer tune with multiple tie-ins, including serving as the theme song for an NTT docomo commercial.
While the overall vocal range is narrow and the melody sits relaxed against the ensemble, the melodic movement is frequent, making it easy to go off pitch—so take care.
It’s a summer number that livens things up and is perfect for everyone to sing together at karaoke.
Super SummerNiziU
This is the debut digital single by NiziU, a nine-member girl group formed from the top-ranking finalists of a Japan–Korea joint global audition project that drew attention across Japan.
The track was featured as the commercial song for Coca-Cola’s “This Moment Is Me” Summer edition.
Its brisk dance beat and cute vocals really lift your spirits.
Although the fast-tempo melody blends Japanese and English, it has few large pitch jumps, making it easy to sing at karaoke.
However, since it was originally performed by multiple members, breathing can be tricky when singing solo; it’s recommended to sing it with friends for a more comfortable and enjoyable performance.
