“Many Men, Many Minds” BANZAI JAPAN MV

Of course it features summer, but spring, autumn, and winter also appear in the lyrics, so it’s a recommendation year-round.

It’s a song by BANZAI JAPAN, an idol group formed to share Japan’s appeal with the world, released in 2019 as their major debut single.

Perhaps thanks to its traditional Japanese-flavored sound, it conveys a sense of coolness despite being an idol track.

The song likens the changing feelings of love over time to the four seasons.

A work by Spitz that captivates with an exhilarating sound that conjures up sparkling summer scenes.

Set to a beautiful melody, it delicately portrays the protagonist’s emotions as they waver between the sweet, heartrending memories of a past love and the reality of the present.

Released as a single in September 1996, the song is also included on the album Indigo Chiheisen.

It became well known as the CM song for Ezaki Glico’s “Pocky Love Story.” It’s a track that seems to gently stay by your side—not only when you feel the wind on a summer drive, but also when you’re walking alone by the seaside or spending a sentimental night.
