Midsummer day!Nogizaka46
This is a song by the idol group Nogizaka46.
It was released in 2025 as a track on their 39th single.
Chosen as the “Nogizaka46 Meiji Jingu Stadium Performance 10th Memorial Song,” it’s an up-tempo summer tune.
Its bouncy rhythm and liberating melody line feel great, making you want to take off running as soon as you hear it.
The lyrics express feelings for a loved one encountered by chance on a midsummer day, and that sweet-and-sour worldview is part of its charm.
It’s a bright piece that also spotlights the expressive performance of center member Haruka Kaki.
My girlfriend is PIZZA OF DEATHSabasister
Formed in March 2022 and making their major debut in March 2024, Saba Sister are here to introduce a type of song that’s guaranteed to hype up any school festival performance.
This track is a exhilarating punk tune that shines with respect for Oi! punk and old-school punk.
Its repeated, catchy lyrics may sing—alongside punkish humor—of passionate feelings and admiration for a special “girlfriend.” The song is the title track of the EP “My girlfriend is PIZZA OF DEATH,” slated for release in April 2025.
Built around a straight 8-beat and power chords, it’ll look and sound great if you play it with an emphasis on band unity and driving energy.
My HEROBeagle Crew
A soul-stirring track by Beagle Crew that powerfully sings of deep gratitude to comrades and unwavering resolve toward one’s dreams.
Its passionate message—“Now it’s my turn to be your strength”—to the friends who supported each other in hard times grabs listeners’ hearts and won’t let go.
Released as a single in September 2014, the song was written as the walk-up music for professional baseball player Sho Nakata, sending stadiums into a frenzy.
It’s an anthem that fires up not only athletes facing high-stakes moments, but anyone striving toward a big goal.
Midsummer RainRebecca
It’s a track that conjures up the languid air after a sudden evening shower and the sight of rain-soaked asphalt.
NOKKO’s emotionally rich vocals evoke a bittersweet, end-of-summer melancholy and an air of ennui.
The lyrics sketch fragmentary scenes and inner landscapes brought on by summer rain, likely resonating with listeners’ own summer memories.
The spatial sound processing reminiscent of reggae and dub lends it a distinctive, floating feel.
Released in November 1987 as the B-side of the single “NERVOUS BUT GLAMOROUS,” the song also appears on the album “Poison.” That album won Artist of the Year (Japanese music category) at the 2nd Japan Gold Disc Awards.
It’s the perfect song for a sultry summer night—when you’re lost in thought listening to the rain, or when you want to sink into a sentimental mood.
Midsummer OrionMorimoto Namua
On slightly grown-up summer nights, those bittersweet memories suddenly come rushing back.
Namua Morimoto captures such sentimental scenes beautifully through R&B sounds.
In the quiet after the bustle of a summer festival, under a beautiful night sky, budding feelings of love and fleeting thoughts—etched as if into the stars—tighten the chest.
As she herself has said, she created the piece “while feeling the sweet and fleeting climate of summer,” and the work is suffused with the moist atmosphere and nostalgia unique to summer nights.
Released as a digital single in July 2018, this is a labor of love for which she also wrote the lyrics and composed the music.
On long summer nights, when you want to sit quietly and sink into memories of a love that has passed, this one track may seep straight into your heart.
Crimson SunHibari Misora
This work, which evokes both the passion of a blazing sun and the transience of a passing summer, left a striking impression as a new facet of Hibari Misora, the queen of the kayō music world.
In its lyrical world, a love that flares up against the backdrop of midsummer seas is skillfully depicted alongside a poignant premonition that it will one day come to an end.
Originally included as a track on the album “Song Is My Life: Celebrating 20 Years of Hibari Misora’s Career,” the piece received such an overwhelming response that it was released as a single in May 1967.
Its innovative sound, backed by Jackie Yoshikawa and the Blue Comets, drew major attention and went on to sell over 1.
4 million copies.
As a song emblematic of summertime in the Shōwa era, why not give it a listen during a seaside drive or when you’re in the mood to bask in slightly more grown-up summer memories?
A Midsummer NightFirst Love Storm
On quiet summer nights, some of us may suddenly be swept up in a tightening, sentimental ache.
Perfectly suited to that mood is a gem of a ballad by Hatsukoi no Arashi.
The song, written by vocalist Tatsuro Nishiyama, portrays a protagonist left behind on a midsummer night, a heart swaying between dream and waking, and the fleetingness of a hazy love—striking a deep chord in the listener.
Evoking Neil Young, the rock sound intertwines delicately with beautiful strings, while Nishiyama’s emotive vocals heighten the poignancy to stunning effect.
Released as a single in July 2002, it was also included on the August album “Dedicated to First Love.” Completed with heartfelt care by the band and staff after Nishiyama’s untimely passing, the recording is remembered for a session with more than ten string players where tears would not stop.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to sink into summer’s quieter side or savor the bittersweet memories of a love that has passed.
