A hill where summer begins to showDaisuke
This is a refreshing, fast-paced song by singer-songwriter Daisuke that feels wonderfully pleasant to listen to.
It combines the excitement of the start of summer with a fleeting sense of poignancy that appears in quiet moments.
The lyrics paint scenes of sloping streets, sunsets, and fireworks that spring vividly to mind, almost like your own memories.
Released in July 2013 as his seventh single, the track served as the opening theme for the anime Pokémon: Best Wishes! Season 2: Decolora Adventure and the movie Genesect and the Legend Awakened.
Even now, its heart-thumping melody line is unforgettable.
It’s a song you’ll want to play on a summer drive or on a night when you want to sink into a slightly sentimental mood.

It’s the ending theme for the robot anime Captain Earth.
It’s sung by Tia, whose popularity took off through her online activities.
It was released in 2014 as her third single.
By the way, the ethereal, futuristic sound was crafted by ryo, the composer from the creator unit supercell.
The lyrics are filled with overflowing feelings for a dear person who has gone away, and just reading them is heartbreaking.

Summer-Colored Presentaoi (CV: Iguchi Yuka) hinata (CV: Asumi Kana) kaede (CV: Hikasa Yoko) kokona (CV: Ogura Yui)
It’s a cute anime song that lifts your spirits the more you listen.
It’s the opening theme for season 2 of the anime Yama no Susume, which features high school girls mountain climbing, and it’s sung by the voice actors who play the main characters.
The lyrics—saying that summer memories are treasures for life—are uplifting and lovely.
The positive message combined with the pop sound gives you energy.
Give it a listen when you’re feeling down after something unpleasant or when you’re exhausted and worn out.
glow-upHysteric Blue
It’s the opening theme of the anime Ghost Stories.
The series originally started in the fall and aired through the following spring, but since it’s a horror-themed show, it’s often re-broadcast in the summer.
I imagine there are still fans who make a point of watching it every summer.
BON VOYAGE!BON BON BLANCO
A single released in 2004 that served as an opening theme for One Piece.
It became a hit, debuting at No.
8 on the Oricon weekly chart.
With its tropical vibe, refreshing vocals, and an opening sequence that spotlighted each member of the then-seven-strong Straw Hat Pirates, it captured the spirit of the anime’s world.
Chaos reaches its peakUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
Blue Lock is an anime that portrays high school students devoted to soccer.
Its opening theme is Kaosu ga Kiwamaru (Chaos Reaches Its Peak).
The track, created by the rock band UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, lives up to its title with a sound where various elements intricately intertwine to evoke a sense of chaos.
At the same time, it has a driving pace that leaves you feeling refreshed after listening.
Be sure to check it out along with the music video, which features an awe-inspiring performance.
TouchIwasaki Yoshimi
It goes without saying that this is the anime theme song for Mitsuru Adachi’s baseball manga, Touch.
When you think of high school baseball, you think of Koshien; when you think of Koshien, you think of the summer tournament… Even the intro guitar sounds have a summery feel.
Among the many baseball manga, Touch leans heavily into romance, and the lyrics—which heighten the story’s shocking developments—match that tone perfectly.
It’s truly a timeless classic, and even today the song is used widely, from sports shows to variety programs and commercials.
