Gagaga SP 'Sparklers'

Gagaga SP put folk music through the filter of punk and gave birth to a completely new form of punk.

This song portrays the triviality—and the beauty—of myself, who remembers the significance of “you,” whom I loved back in those summer days, every time summer comes around.

Contrary to the gritty, passionate vocals, the lyrics depict a delicate love—the way a sparkler triggers memories of the person I once loved—and that contrast is incredibly appealing.

The powerful vocals and driving tempo evoke the feeling of summer’s arrival.

Evening calm,Somewhere,Fireworks

While many firework-themed songs are either mellow or pop, this track is a rock-oriented piece with electric guitar front and center.

It’s a song by Yorushika, a two-person rock unit consisting of n-buna, who handles lyrics, composition, and arrangement, and suis, who provides vocals.

The track is included on their second album, Elma, released in 2019.

Although the lyrics aren’t entirely bright, the song expresses the exhilaration that summer brings in an emotional and dynamic way.

Yorushika has several songs with titles in the “X, X, X” format, and this is one of them.

Sonoko Inoue / Sparklers -Music Video- (Full Ver.)

Senko Hanabi, released in 2014 by Sonoko Inoue, who was still a high school student at the time, is a classic of youthful pop rock produced by Ryota Yanagisawa of SUPER BEAVER! Its worldbuilding is truly wonderful, overlaying the fleeting glow of sparklers that crackle and fade with the bittersweet ache of young love, and Inoue’s translucent, pure vocals go straight to the heart.

The somewhat melancholic melody that evokes the end of summer will surely make many listeners nostalgic for days gone by.

Depicting the sparkle of youth and the beauty of its brief moment, this song continues to be cherished by music fans even today.

Ai Otsuka / Goldfish Fireworks (Short Ver.)

Kingyo Hanabi likens the fleeting heartbreak of a man and woman in summer to goldfish and fireworks, singing of an image that carries the ephemerality of fireworks and scatters beautifully and gracefully like a goldfish’s tail.

At the end of one summer, a man and woman meet again after a long time.

The girl has long harbored a one-sided love for the boy, but because she already knows he has a girlfriend, all she can do—while suppressing her aching feelings—is gaze at his profile.

This poignant story, paired with a bittersweet and beautiful melody, vividly portrays the fragile romances of summer.

Keisuke Kuwata – After the Festival (Short ver.)

This is a solo track by Keisuke Kuwata.

As the title suggests, although it’s lively, it’s a song for late summer into autumn.

By contrasting the days spent together in summer, it brings in the image of fireworks as a closing note for two people who are drifting apart.

It’s a poignant love song that expresses loneliness.
