RADWIMPS, the four-piece rock band behind numerous massive hits like “Zenzenzense” and “Nandemonaiya,” created their first seasonally themed song with “Natsu no Sei.” Although it was initially released as a digital-only track, word of mouth helped it gain popularity, and it was later released as an EP.

Since it’s a laid-back song that gently aches with feelings of love, it’s better suited for a karaoke date than for hyping up a big group.

Also, if you want to try singing in English, there’s an English version available, which is highly recommended.
