Sonoko Inoue is a singer-songwriter popular mainly among junior and senior high school girls, who is also active as an actress.

The song in which she sings about the theme of summer festivals is Senko Hanabi.

Repezent Chikyu, a YouTuber group hugely popular especially among young people, is also well-known for their music activities.

They’ve released numerous tracks, but among them, “HANABI” is a perfect fit for summer festivals.

Pay attention to its EDM-style sound, which overturns the typical image of summer festival songs that are often finished in an emotional style with piano or guitar.

This song brilliantly blends the scenes of a summer festival with the darker sides of society, showcasing Mafumafu’s uniquely sensitive artistry.

The Japanese-style melody and rock elements are perfectly matched, and the high-tone vocals leave a strong impression.

It was released on Niconico in August 2014 and is included on the album “Ashita-iro World’s End.” While it takes summer traditions as its theme, the lyrics carry a profound message that prompts reflection on social contradictions and one’s inner self.

The line about not wanting to become an adult who laughs while drinking soda made from someone’s tears really lingers in the heart.

How about listening to it alone on a summer night and facing your own feelings?
