It features an expansive sound that builds and builds.

The melody line feels great, and the chorus makes you want to sing along.

The sparkling tone of the piano and the whisper-like vocals sink into the heart.

The work “Meteor Syndrome” by Vocaloid producer seiza was released on May 9, 2023.

It’s characterized by a refreshing sound that feels like an endlessly blue sky stretching on and a pleasant breeze blowing through.

The lyrics, which teach us the beauty of being absorbed in something, are truly wonderful.

If you’re a teenager feeling anxious about the future, this song might give you strength.

With its light, pleasant groove and exhilarating sense of speed, this is an R&B track.

It’s a song by Patrichev, a Vocaloid producer who loves Kagamine Rin, released in 2013.

A variety of timbres are used, and just following them is enjoyable in itself.

The breezy feel of the arrangement makes it a perfect driving BGM for hot summer days.

This is something I especially recommend to third-year high school students who are about to graduate.

It’s a song by Vocaloid producer Rokuhanaroku, released in 2020.

It’s a refreshing rock tune with a feel-good vibe.

The lyrics capture the feelings you have during your last summer of student life, and many listeners will relate.

Forget about the future for now—this song makes you want to just enjoy this summer.

This is a memorable song whose lyrics liken the absurdity of this world to a summer festival.

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.

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…”

It’s not a song that directly feels like summer, but I thought it gives the image of someone setting out on their own in the summer, so I really wanted to recommend it.

By varying the number of sounds and the dynamics of the arrangement, it expresses emotional fluctuations.

In particular, the chorus sounds like the protagonist is shouting their feelings with all their might.
