Stevie Wonder Master Blaster (Jammin)

It’s a perfect song for summer, singing that everyone’s mood is hotter than the July heat.

The reggae-style rhythm feels good—laid-back yet powerful.

While enjoying the scorching summer, it also helps you wake up feeling refreshed even on humid days.

Outkast – Hey Ya! (Official HD Video)

A soothing song by OutKast that has garnered attention for its stylish, delicate hip-hop sound, with an underground vibe that conveys a high-quality texture.

Its refreshing feel makes it perfect for summer break, letting you comfortably immerse yourself in the world of music.

augustTaylor Swift

Taylor Swift – august (Official Lyric Video)

Taylor Swift, who is widely loved in Japan as well, is not to be missed—especially her song “august.” As the title suggests, it’s about August.

But rather than the first half of the month, it evokes the late-summer atmosphere, singing about a romance that comes to an end along with the season.

Why not listen to it when you’re spending a quiet, reflective moment alone? It’s also perfect for looking back on your summer memories.

In any case, her gentle voice is soothing.
