My HERObīguru kurū
A soul-stirring track by Beagle Crew that powerfully sings of deep gratitude to comrades and unwavering resolve toward one’s dreams.
Its passionate message—“Now it’s my turn to be your strength”—to the friends who supported each other in hard times grabs listeners’ hearts and won’t let go.
Released as a single in September 2014, the song was written as the walk-up music for professional baseball player Sho Nakata, sending stadiums into a frenzy.
It’s an anthem that fires up not only athletes facing high-stakes moments, but anyone striving toward a big goal.
Midsummer RainRebekka
It’s a track that conjures up the languid air after a sudden evening shower and the sight of rain-soaked asphalt.
NOKKO’s emotionally rich vocals evoke a bittersweet, end-of-summer melancholy and an air of ennui.
The lyrics sketch fragmentary scenes and inner landscapes brought on by summer rain, likely resonating with listeners’ own summer memories.
The spatial sound processing reminiscent of reggae and dub lends it a distinctive, floating feel.
Released in November 1987 as the B-side of the single “NERVOUS BUT GLAMOROUS,” the song also appears on the album “Poison.” That album won Artist of the Year (Japanese music category) at the 2nd Japan Gold Disc Awards.
It’s the perfect song for a sultry summer night—when you’re lost in thought listening to the rain, or when you want to sink into a sentimental mood.
Midsummer OrionMorimoto Namua
On slightly grown-up summer nights, those bittersweet memories suddenly come rushing back.
Namua Morimoto captures such sentimental scenes beautifully through R&B sounds.
In the quiet after the bustle of a summer festival, under a beautiful night sky, budding feelings of love and fleeting thoughts—etched as if into the stars—tighten the chest.
As she herself has said, she created the piece “while feeling the sweet and fleeting climate of summer,” and the work is suffused with the moist atmosphere and nostalgia unique to summer nights.
Released as a digital single in July 2018, this is a labor of love for which she also wrote the lyrics and composed the music.
On long summer nights, when you want to sit quietly and sink into memories of a love that has passed, this one track may seep straight into your heart.
Crimson SunMisora Hibari
This work, which evokes both the passion of a blazing sun and the transience of a passing summer, left a striking impression as a new facet of Hibari Misora, the queen of the kayō music world.
In its lyrical world, a love that flares up against the backdrop of midsummer seas is skillfully depicted alongside a poignant premonition that it will one day come to an end.
Originally included as a track on the album “Song Is My Life: Celebrating 20 Years of Hibari Misora’s Career,” the piece received such an overwhelming response that it was released as a single in May 1967.
Its innovative sound, backed by Jackie Yoshikawa and the Blue Comets, drew major attention and went on to sell over 1.4 million copies.
As a song emblematic of summertime in the Shōwa era, why not give it a listen during a seaside drive or when you’re in the mood to bask in slightly more grown-up summer memories?
A Midsummer NightHatsukoi no Arashi
On quiet summer nights, some of us may suddenly be swept up in a tightening, sentimental ache.
Perfectly suited to that mood is a gem of a ballad by Hatsukoi no Arashi.
The song, written by vocalist Tatsuro Nishiyama, portrays a protagonist left behind on a midsummer night, a heart swaying between dream and waking, and the fleetingness of a hazy love—striking a deep chord in the listener.
Evoking Neil Young, the rock sound intertwines delicately with beautiful strings, while Nishiyama’s emotive vocals heighten the poignancy to stunning effect.
Released as a single in July 2002, it was also included on the August album “Dedicated to First Love.” Completed with heartfelt care by the band and staff after Nishiyama’s untimely passing, the recording is remembered for a session with more than ten string players where tears would not stop.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to sink into summer’s quieter side or savor the bittersweet memories of a love that has passed.
Gigantic in MidsummerCody Rī (Ri)
A pop-rock number with a refreshing sound that rushes through like wind weaving between city skyscrapers, paired with a somehow bittersweet melody that lingers—this track appears on Cody・Lee(李)’s album “Saigo no Hatsukoi,” released in June 2024.
The song vividly captures both the passion of staying true to your feelings without blaming anything else, and the fleeting, almost anxious melancholy unique to summer that passes in a flash.
Its pure wish—to savor those special moments for just the two of you—resonates deeply.
In August 2024, the band was featured on FM802, so you may well have heard it on the radio.
It feels perfect for a long drive under endlessly blue skies, or for a summer evening when you want to bask in a slightly sentimental mood.
This summer, it just might make the moments you share with someone special all the more unforgettable.
MermaidSMAP
A song by SMAP featuring a dreamy, enchanting melody line.
The poignant lyrics evoke the feeling of listening to a tale of unrequited love with a mermaid as the protagonist, gently wrapping around the listener’s heart.
You can almost see the glittering surface of the water and hear the quiet sound of waves, and some may find that bittersweet summer memories suddenly resurface.
The track reached many ears as the theme song for the 2007 World Aquatics Championships in Melbourne, and it was first included on the album “super.modern.artistic.performance,” released in September 2008.
It’s the perfect piece for a night when you want to step away from the summer bustle and quietly lose yourself in thought.
