J-POP SUMMER COVERS

A collection of beloved J-POP songs that capture the spirit of summer, reimagined with a fresh, warm, and uplifting sound.

This album features five timeless classics:
"Music Hour," "Kaze ni Naritai," "Shonen Jidai," "Natsu no Omoide," and "Wakamono no Subete."

Blending acoustic guitar, keyboards, drums, percussion, and the gentle sound of the ukulele, these arrangements evoke blue skies, ocean breezes, and the relaxing atmosphere of summer. The result is a light, refreshing sound that's both soothing and uplifting.

Perfect for a summer drive, a relaxing afternoon at your favorite café, quiet reading time, or simply unwinding at home, this album is made to accompany the little moments of summer.

Created through a collaboration between Ai Yamaguchi, Dewa Hiroki, and USK, each performance brings new colors to these beloved songs while honoring the spirit of the original recordings.

We hope this collection becomes part of your summer soundtrack.

Artist Profile

  • Ai Yamaguchi

    Began studying classical piano at the age of five. From junior high school through university, she dedicated herself to the clarinet, performing in school wind ensembles and a city concert band, before majoring in clarinet at music college and undertaking formal classical training. In high school, she joined a ska band and started her career in band performance as an alto saxophonist. She also took part in arranging, songwriting, and composing, broadening her musical expression beyond genres. At 22, she was deeply moved by the music of Sukima Switch, which inspired her to pursue singing, a path she had long dreamed of since childhood. Around the age of 24, she formed the piano-vocal unit Kimiiro Lover, appearing on television and radio. After later facing health challenges, she found her way to the ukulele. She now creates music marked by naturally expressive lyrics, the gentle sound of the ukulele, and a transparent, soothing voice that quietly and deeply resonates with listeners.
