WANIMA is a band loved not only by rock kids but by a wide audience.
They have many fast-paced songs that evoke the feeling of summer.
As its title suggests, “Natsu no Dokoka e” (Somewhere in Summer) is a high-energy track packed with the signature WANIMA vibe that lifts your summer spirits.
The song was also used in a Mitsuya Cider commercial, giving it a fresh, sparkling image.
It was written while recalling the members’ childhood, and the music video, too, evokes a warm sense of nostalgia for those early years.

When you think of Yuzu, it’s this song; when you think of summer, it’s this song—Natsuiro, a track that represents both Yuzu and the season.

Young Skinny, who are expected to be the next big break, released the mini-album “If I Have to Act, I’d Rather Be Myself” as a nationwide distribution just one year and four months after forming.
Featured on their first mini-album, “In a Daily Life Full of Lies,” is the song “August Night.” It’s a rock tune with striking lyrics depicting a woman who’s slipped deeper and deeper into a relationship.
The song conveys a murky, sticky emotion that evokes a humid summer night.

The lyrics, which evoke a bittersweet summer love story, make my heart flutter.
It’s a song by Anzako, a female singer from Tottori Prefecture.
It’s the title track of her 2018 mini-album “Hanabi no Mahō” (Fireworks Magic).

In contrast, the song itself is a pop tune with a driving beat and a refreshing chord progression that feels great to listen to.
I recommend listening to it while gazing at the summer night sky!
