Summer boom!

If we’re talking about a song with a heart-thumping pop sound that colors the summer night sky like brilliant fireworks, it has to be that up-tempo number by Poppin’Party, doesn’t it? The worldview painted by the lyrics is masterful: you can practically see the bittersweet youthfulness of two people seeking a secret moment together amid the bustling clamor of a summer festival, hearts fluttering in their yukata.

You can feel the protagonist’s earnest feelings and rising excitement, as they layer their hopes and wishes for the future onto the grand fireworks blooming across the night sky.

This track was included as a coupling song on Poppin’Party’s seventh single, “Time Lapse,” released in September 2017, and was later featured on the album “Breakthrough!” It’s also familiar to fans as an event theme song in the game “BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!” and it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser live—at a 2018 concert the entire venue twirled towels in unison, and the Taiwan show thrilled fans with water-gun effects.

It’s perfect for times when you want to feel the full-body rush of a festival, or when you want your heart to twinge with the fleeting memories of a summer romance.

It’s also ideal for cranking the festival mood to the max with friends, brimming with a mysterious charm that brings a smile to everyone who listens.
