Ever-Summer GirlKoizumi Kyoko

A girl’s shyness in her first swimsuit, and the boy’s gaze fixed on her.

Capturing that flutter of summer—sung, remarkably, from a male perspective with a hint of mysterious allure—is Kyoko Koizumi’s song.

Released as a single in April 1985, it features lyrics by Midori Hifumi, music by Kohei Sai, and an arrangement by Tatsumi Yano that evokes a Beach Boys-like pop sound.

It topped the Oricon Weekly Chart and sold about 267,000 copies, conveying the fervor of the time.

You can enjoy a different arrangement on the album “Flapper,” and it was even used in a commercial in 2021.

Put it on during a summer drive or event, and it’s sure to lift your spirits!

Transparent sheet musicnozomi

Noshiki is a female singer-songwriter known for her unique, laugh-inducing compositions.

Her track “Transparent Score,” however, departs from her usual musical style, featuring a serious and dreamlike melody.

A falsetto appears near the end of the chorus, but that’s more in line with current trends; in reality, the pitch is well within chest-voice range, so you shouldn’t struggle with the high notes.

The overall range isn’t very wide, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

The track was used as the theme song for the film “Chibi Kero: The Secret of the Kero Ball!?” and was released as a CD-and-DVD set.

The DVD also includes choreography lesson footage.

With Harisenbon’s signature comedic and fun vibe, the song exudes positivity about meeting new friends and adapting to changing environments.

Despite being a two-piece, Furi is compelling for its twin-vocal setup with a singing drummer and a singing guitarist.

Formed in 2012 by high school classmates Maki Takada and Aisa Kasai, the band has drawn attention for Kasai’s style of singing while playing drums.

They won an award at RO69JACK in 2016 and continued to build their track record by appearing at “Derenno!? Summer Sonic!?” the following year.

While rooted in rock, their signature sound incorporates electronic instruments like synthesizers and MPCs, enabling a freer musicality that breaks away from traditional guitar-centric songs.

Even after a decade since their formation, they continue at their own pace, and they’re highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the powerful impact of a drum-vocal performance.
