Bullying, willful blindness, unreasonable adults—life doesn’t go smoothly.
It’s sung with a lively rhythm that evokes nostalgia.
I also hope you’ll pay attention to the video that matches the lyrics.

Summer and Trianglegomen nasai ga ienakute
A song by the Vocaloid producer Known for “Finding Knots” and “Spring Is Blooming,” Gomennasai ga Ienakute, released in August 2024.
Its minimal four-on-the-floor beat and Kagamine Rin’s clear, transparent vocals create a pleasantly polished sound.
The lyrics carefully depict the poignancy of summer’s end.
With its simultaneous sense of coolness and loneliness, this track is perfect for when you’re in a sentimental mood.

It’s a slow-tempo rock ballad.
The song was released in 2013 and was composed by n-buna, who is also active as the composer for the band Yorushika.
The guitar sounds distorted, yet somehow it feels transparent.
Give it a listen when you find yourself thinking, “Ah, summer is ending…”
I hate summer.Asai Umi
A piercing piano rock song that portrays the complex emotions of summer.
It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Asai Umi, released in August 2019, and included on the first mini-album “It Was a Boring Life.” The lyrical world, with its story-like line—“I hate summer because it inevitably makes me remember someone precious who’s gone”—really hits home.
The fast-paced arrangement seems to embody the feelings that overflow.
I think it especially resonates when you listen to it in summer, when you’re tormented by loneliness.

From a subdued opening to a guitar phrase that overflows with emotion.
This song is by Orangestar, a Vocaloid producer known for creating numerous summer tunes.
In 2015, the Japanese version was released on YouTube, and the English version on Niconico.
The lyrics capture the bittersweet feelings of two people who won’t be able to meet once summer ends.
