Whiteberry “Summer Festival” MUSIC VIDEO

This is a famous song that portrays the feelings of a protagonist who, on a festival night spent with their lover in a yukata, can’t quite find the courage to hold hands in the crowd and, even while watching sparklers burn, can’t put their feelings into words.

Released in August 2000, it’s Whiteberry’s signature track—a cover of a JITTERIN’JINN song—that reached No.

3 on the Oricon charts.

It also served as the theme song for the TBS drama “Fushigi na Hanashi” and became the catalyst for their appearance on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

It’s the perfect song for anyone who wants to feel the sweet-and-sour ache of youthful love and nostalgia for summers gone by.
