Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Many people in Japan probably think of fireworks when they hear “summer.”

Fireworks that spread across the night sky after a festival, as well as those enjoyed with family, are scenes that evoke a deep sense of nostalgia for Japanese people.

While it’s easy to find songs about fireworks in Japanese music, it can be surprisingly difficult to immediately name a few Western songs that “sing about fireworks.”

Fireworks are called “firework” or “fireworks” in English, and in this article we introduce not only songs that use “firework(s)” as a theme, but also tracks where fireworks are used metaphorically, along with recommended Western songs you might enjoy alongside real fireworks.

We also review the meanings of the lyrics, so be sure to check them out!
