Strait of TearsIshigami Kumiko
Kumiko Ishigami continues to captivate audiences with the vocal prowess she honed through folk songs.
Her 1986 debut single, “Tsugaru no Joppari,” is a well-known classic that swept the newcomer awards that year.
Her clear, expansive voice, released in a mellow tone, vividly evokes the snowy landscapes of Tsugaru and boldly sings of the inner strength of the people who live there, enveloping listeners in a sense of realism as if the harsh northern winds were pricking their skin.
Her brilliant work as part of the NHK trio “Hatsuratsu San’nin Musume,” formed with Fuyumi Sakamoto and Aya Shimazu, is also fresh in our memories.
Having overcome a hiatus, she has in recent years demonstrated her talent as a dyer, and that way of life seems to lend even greater depth to her singing.
Summer-patterned catOfisharu Higedan Dism
This is a song that conjures up the cool air of an early summer morning and a somehow nostalgic landscape.
It delicately portrays the protagonist—setting out for the sea with their beloved cat—caught between the anticipation of summer’s beginning and the bittersweet feeling for the season slipping away.
The track is a re-recorded version of a song from the band’s amateur days, included on the HELLO EP released in August 2020.
It’s the only song on the EP without a tie-in, which wonderfully reflects their commitment to honoring the roots of their music.
It’s a piece that gently stays with you when you want to sink into a nostalgic mood.
The End of SummerPurinsesu Purinsesu
When it comes to the signature song that crowned the finale of Princess Princess, a band that defined an era, it has to be Natsu no Owari (End of Summer).
Composed by the band’s leader, Atsuko Watanabe, this ballad is distinguished by its gentle melody line, yet it carries a deep, aching sorrow that goes beyond the mere passing of a season.
That feeling, of course, is profoundly colored by the band’s own story coming to a close.
It can be seen as a final message filled with gratitude—from the members to their fans, and to one another—as they concluded their brilliant run.
Like a sparkler blooming in the summer night sky only to fade away in an instant, the song leaves a beautiful yet lonely afterglow, tenderly enveloping the memories of summers past.
Summer Memoriesberii guddoman
This is a refreshing cheer song by Ballistik Boyz that sets your heart ablaze with a trembling-voiced pledge among teammates: a resolve to never lose.
The track was chosen as the theme song for the East-West Tokyo High School Baseball Tournament in the summer of 2021.
The lyrics, which feel infused with MOCA’s real-life experiences as a former high school baseball player, do more than simply say “do your best”—they teach the importance of moving forward together, supporting one another through anxiety and inner conflict.
Whether you’re facing hurdles in sports or studies, this song will gently yet powerfully nudge you forward.
A night when I want to cryAYANE
A song that vividly captures the emotional sway between a love that you know won’t come true yet only grows stronger, and the wish to keep looking forward.
With down-to-earth words, AYANE weaves lyrics that struggle through loneliness and inner conflict while yearning to “become stronger,” striking deep into hearts troubled by love with no place to go.
It’s a pop ballad.
Released in July 2022, this work became a signature piece that led into the following year’s acclaimed album, #Twenty.
On nights when a secret relationship feels like it might crush you, when the loneliness is unbearable, this song will quietly stay by your side.
to flow; to stream; to run (liquid); to be washed away; to drift; to play (audio/video)STILLZ & Yuki Chiba
This track is memorable for its emotional vocals unfolding over immersive sound.
It appears on both Seigi Chiba’s collaborative album with filmmaker STILLZ, “separated at birth,” and on Chiba’s solo album, “Eien.” Released simultaneously in June 2025, the two albums are linked by this song, which serves as a kind of bridge between them.
Surrendering oneself to fate… it’s a piece to savor on a quiet night when you want to be alone with your thoughts.
summerHaku.
It’s a fantastic track with a dreamy pop sound that lets you feel both summer’s languid haze and its sparkling rush at the same time! “Natsu” is a song included on the first full-length album by Haku, an up-and-coming girls’ band from Osaka.
The airy, indie rock–tinged guitars and vocalist Ai’s crystal-clear voice weave a sound that conjures up the image of afternoon sunlight just by listening.
It’s a chic summer tune that irresistibly captures that sentimental mood of being unable to be honest with your feelings amid the shimmer of summer.
