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.

A bittersweet yet passionate ode to the end of summer, composer Natsunose’s number “Sentimental Ghost feat.
Okiishi.” Released in 2023, this track features vocalist and singer Okiishi.
As the title suggests, it portrays a protagonist who lingers like a ghost, steeped in sentimentality as summer comes to a close, trying desperately to convey feelings to someone precious.
The gently placed, softly spoken words sung by the protagonist make this a song that tightens the chest.

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.
Party night in summer dreamAge Factory
A song by Age Factory that begins with a bass-driven intro.
It carries a youthful, powerful message alongside the lively night that slips by and the melancholic scene felt after morning arrives.
Among their tracks, this one—where energy and wistfulness intersect—stands out.
It evokes an underground vibe reminiscent of a nighttime club or live house.
If you’re a teen looking to energize a summer night party, consider adding it to your playlist.
BUBBLE-GUM MAGICKEYTALK
If you’re looking for a song to boost your energy, KEYTALK’s “BUBBLE-GUM MAGIC” is highly recommended.
The guitar’s funky cutting meshes perfectly with the dance beat, and just listening to it will get you grooving.
Even when the heat has you feeling low, this track is guaranteed to lift your spirits and keep you going.
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!
