It has a sense of speed, yet there’s something wistful about it.
The lyrics seem vague, but I think they actually hit the core.
“You don’t need meaning or reasons or anything like that for your heart to tremble and tears to fall.” I want to listen to it when I’m feeling down to lift my spirits.
The scent of summerLUNKHEAD2rank/position
Like Orihime and Hikoboshi, who can only meet once a year, LUNKHEAD’s “Natsu no Nioi” portrays the feelings you have while waiting to finally see someone important whom you rarely get to meet.
Released in 2006, the song was used in Calbee’s “Natsu Potato” commercial, and the music video features Mikako Tabe and Takahiro Hojo, who also appeared in the ad.
In keeping with the Tanabata legend, some people may be dreaming of the romantic idea of reuniting with someone special on the day of Tanabata.
This song is there to embrace those fluttery, heart‑pounding emotions you feel until the moment you meet.
A perfect day for cherry blossomsLUNKHEAD3rank/position
LUNKHEAD’s ninth single is a rock track that continues to stay close to listeners’ hearts with its emotionally charged, lyrical sound and words.
Released in January 2007, “Sakura Biyori” is a classic spring song that portrays departure and a brand-new first step.
Riding on a driving guitar-rock sound, Yoshitaro Odaka’s earnest vocals resonate throughout, vividly capturing the mixed feelings of anticipation and anxiety that spring brings.
Selected as a POWER PLAY on Nippon TV’s “Music Fighter,” and included on the acclaimed album “FORCE,” this long-beloved track is perfect both as an anthem for those starting a new chapter in life and as upbeat BGM for cherry-blossom viewing.
Because (I’m) aliveLUNKHEAD4rank/position
This is LUNKHEAD’s 14th single, “Ikiteiru kara,” released in 2013.
Even just from the title, it sounds like a classic, but both the lyrics and the melody hit you right in the heart.
By confronting “death,” the song makes “life” come into clear focus, and it suggests that even with hardships, living gives things their meaning.
It’s a track I’d recommend to anyone worn out by everyday life.

When it comes to summer, it’s got to be summer festivals, right? But I don’t have a girlfriend who’d go with me to such a fun festival…
With that lonely feeling, I end up going to the summer festival alone, and the song that comes to mind is something like this.
Just thinking about that girl in a yukata I saw that day still popping into my mind—it’s nothing but heartache, isn’t it?
Our backs and the sunLUNKHEAD6rank/position
A rock band from Niihama City in Ehime Prefecture, LUNKHEAD offers a classic song filled with bittersweet feelings for their hometown: “Our Backs and the Sun.” Based on the real experiences of vocalist Yotarou Odaka, who wrote both the lyrics and music, the song even mentions a specific place, the “Niihama Civic Cultural Center.” It evokes a shimmering page of youth: nights spent on a deserted rooftop talking about the future with friends, the sun they watched while holding both anxiety and hope for what lies ahead.
Carried by nostalgic guitar tones, the straightforward message—“Let’s dream once more”—gently nudges those who have left home and are doing their best.
It’s a warm anthem that reminds listeners of love and gratitude for their hometown.
Path of the Sixteenth-Night MoonLUNKHEAD7rank/position
Included on the 2012 album “White Dyed in Blue.” A four-piece rock band from Ehime Prefecture formed in 1999.
With an aggressively up-tempo rhythm and a straightforward rock-style melody line, the powerful vocals cut straight through to your ears.
That’s the kind of track this is.
