Let’s go to the sea ～OASIS～TUBE
This song powerfully portrays the passion and romance of summer.
Released in July 2004, it was created as part of a series themed around the four seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Starting with an invitation to the summer seaside, it vividly captures a summer love through shy yet burning feelings and scenes bathed in the glow of the setting sun.
Its bright, energetic sound overflows with TUBE’s signature breezy freshness.
The track is also included on the album “35 Years, 35 Songs: ‘Summer and Love’ — I Fell in Love as Many Times as There Were Summers,” making it a perfect choice for creating summer memories or accompanying a seaside drive.
Example summerTakoyakiKZY
The gritty band sound is emotional! Created by the Vocaloid producer TakoyakiKZY—whose entry for the 2023 Spring “VocaColle,” Akagan ga Tooru, also drew attention—this track was released in 2022.
It starts with shimmering electric piano and then unfolds into a delay-drenched guitar riff that sounds incredibly cool.
If you enjoy playing instruments, you might find yourself wanting to try it out.
The dynamic ebb and flow of the arrangement is stylish, too.
Give it a listen while reflecting on the relationship with “you.”
RedTaylor Swift
Released in 2012, “Red” is included on Taylor Swift’s fourth album.
It’s a poignant breakup song that sings about memories of an ex, and its title represents both the fiery color of passionate love—red—and the red of autumn leaves.
The lyrics also compare those feelings to other colors in parts of the song.
Let It BeThe Beatles
The Beatles are a British rock band.
They left behind numerous masterpieces, and among them, Let It Be—with its beautiful piano accompaniment—is especially recommended.
Some of you may have learned it in school classes.

Real LoveThe Beatles
It’s the final single released in 1996, after the Beatles’ breakup and John’s death.
Using a demo tape of a song by John Lennon that Yoko Ono had kept, the other members added their touches to complete the track, resulting in a characteristically John-like, simple and beautiful love song.
Lets Go SurfingThe Drums
This is a track from the 2010 album “The Drums” by the New York–based band The Drums.
It’s retro-tinged surf rock, and their somewhat flimsy, languid look and sound are surprisingly addictive.
The music video is also delightfully, endearingly cheesy in the best way, and you can’t help but get hooked.
red-eyeThe Electros
The Electros have a rare setup for a garage rock band: guitar, drums, and organ.
You might expect a lighter sound without a bass, but once you listen, you’ll be surprised by how full and thick their songs are.
The organ is clearly the heart of this band—an intense, distinctive element you won’t find in others.
Despite some lineup changes, they disbanded in 2017 to much regret.
If you’re in the mood for something a bit different or want to rethink what garage rock can be, definitely give this band a listen.
