Drowning in summerBocchi
Let me introduce Drowning in Summer, a track that’s been spreading by word of mouth, especially on social media.
It’s a summer song by the rock band Bocchi.
Set on a summer day, it depicts someone reflecting on a past summer romance.
If you watch the music video along with it, it’s easier to grasp: the song alternates between a past summer and the present one.
This structure really heightens the bittersweet feeling and the fleeting nature of memories.
Also, the overall high-pitched sound palette suits summer perfectly.

Summer, the season that makes romantic feelings burn even hotter.
CreepHyp’s “Natsuume” is a love song that pushes those emotions forward.
Released in 2023, it was written as the theme song for the marriage-matching app Pairs’ commercial.
It features a distinctive, floating-feel sound arrangement that incorporates retro-pop.
The easy-on-the-ears melody line blends with Ozaki’s laid-back vocals to create a one-of-a-kind world.
The lyrics, which humorously liken a gradually developing romance to plums, are especially charming.
Gate of GloryHirai Dai
Dai Hirai’s “Eikou no Tobira” (The Door to Glory) is a perfect song for summer, and it was even chosen as a cheer song for high school baseball.
His powerful vocals—distinctive for their unique tone that can almost sound like English—convey a sense of determination heading into the season.
The arrangement and lyrics gradually build from a gentle atmosphere to greater intensity, evoking the image of high school baseball players and expressing the desire to make summer something special.
It’s a song that carries passionate feelings within its calmness, and it lifts the spirit for summer across generations.
summer coldMACO
MACO, who once served as the opening act for Ariana Grande’s first concert in Japan, is known for her refreshing yet powerful vocals.
One of her heartbreakingly beautiful songs is “Natsukaze” (“Summer Cold”).
The lyrics gently depict the world of “two people who love each other but keep missing each other,” making teens’ hearts flutter.
A key twist in the song is that the “kaze” (wind) mentioned in the lyrics differs from the “kaze” (cold) in the title.
That slight feverish feeling of a summer cold links with the warmth of love, giving the song an indescribably lovely atmosphere.
If you’re in your teens, you’ll definitely relate!

Summer Thrillnever young beach
Speaking of Nevayan, their somewhat nostalgic, floating sound just feels perfect for summer, doesn’t it? This track is a breezy, light number that’s a classic example of that style.
The lyrics line up all the quintessential symbols of summer that make anyone’s heart race, and you can’t help but think, “That’s right—nothing special has to happen; this thrill is forever.” The nostalgic sound and the uniquely wavering low vocals seep in gently and loosely, soaking into your heart and giving you a sensation like swaying between the waves.
I can hear a voice.Mukai Taichi
In summer, you don’t just want hot, high-energy tracks—you also crave stylish, refreshing ones.
If you’re looking for something chic that’s perfect for the season, I recommend Taichi Mukai’s “Koe ga Kikoeru” (“I Can Hear Your Voice”).
It has a sophisticated vibe that feels like you’re listening to an overseas track, and it almost makes you feel more stylish just by listening.
It’s a number that also fits perfectly with summer sunsets.

You might have heard this stylish-sounding track somewhere before.
That’s because it was featured in the Home Tutor Try commercial, “If Summer Were Youth.” Despite the song’s sleek, cool vibe, the lyrics—set against a summer backdrop—carry a passionate message like “Let’s spend our time so we leave no regrets.” If you listen while reading all the lyrics, I think you’ll get a different impression, so give it a try.
