A track whose charm lies in its comical lyrics that sound like thoughts spoken out loud.

It’s the first summer song by the high-energy, live-show favorite three-piece rock band Yabai T-Shirts Yasan, despite being a regular at summer festivals.

Many listeners will likely relate to the lyrics, which candidly—perhaps a bit too candidly—express how scorching the heat feels, going against the image of a typical summer anthem.

In contrast to those words, the fast-paced rock sound still delivers a strong sense of summer’s freedom.

It’s a fresh, high-energy tune you can easily picture firing up a crowd in the summer.

This song was chosen as the theme for the film “STAND BY ME Doraemon” and became a hot topic as a moving, tear-jerking ballad.

Written and performed by singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata, it was released in August 2014.

Its warm message wishing happiness for someone close overlaps with Hata’s beautiful, gentle vocals, and before you know it, it brings you to tears.

The piece resonated with many people for its depiction of irreplaceable bonds—caring for others and staying connected at heart even when apart.

It’s also included on the album “Ao no Kōkei” (Scenes of Blue).

If you compile reels of summer trips with friends or bright, sunflower-like smiling moments spent with family, you’ll end up with a moving creation.
