Chinatsu Matsumoto, who has been gaining attention for her style of capturing everyday life, created “Tonariawase” as the opening theme for the anime A Galaxy Next Door.

The series is a romantic comedy depicting the daily lives of a man and a woman, and she says she wrote the lyrics inspired by their interactions.

Because it sings about those small, familiar moments in everyday life that anyone can relate to, even viewers who haven’t seen the anime will likely find themselves nodding along.

Another highlight is its fresh, summery sound.

Ninku Sora no namae

This is the song used as the second ending theme for the anime Ninku.

The lyrics include words like “sky” and “wind” that evoke summer, giving it a refreshing feel.

In the ending visuals, the protagonists are shown traveling through various countries.

The first ending theme is well-known, but this one is also a classic, so I highly recommend giving it a listen.

It’s the opening theme of the anime Ghost Stories.

The series originally started in the fall and aired through the following spring, but since it’s a horror-themed show, it’s often re-broadcast in the summer.

I imagine there are still fans who make a point of watching it every summer.

Luck Life / Degrees Celsius [Music Video] (TV Anime 'Tsurune: The Linking Shot' Opening Theme)

On a hot summer day, the song I’d love for you to listen to is “℃.” This track was specially written by Luck Life as the opening theme for the anime Tsurune: The Linking Shot.

As you know, “℃” in the title is the unit used to express temperature.

Throughout the song, it depicts the heat of youthful days and feelings growing more intense.

The powerful sound and passionate vocals combine to energize you as you listen—and they just might blow away the summer heat.
