You are the summer breeze.Bocchi
A three-piece band, Bocchi, who fly the banner “Music that stays by your loneliness.” The track they released in June 2024 is a perfect fit for Japan’s summer.

The song is also included on their first full-length album, “Sora ni Kaoru wa Natsu no Kage,” released in May 2025, and can be called a signature track that strongly reflects the album’s themes of “summer memories” and “the transience of youth.” Their self-produced shows have sold out one after another, and their first-ever solo show at Shibuya WWW in June 2025 sold out in five minutes—proof of their soaring popularity.
