Kono Natsu ga Owaru Made

"Kono Natsu ga Owaru Made" ("Until This Summer Ends") by Japanese artist Shinya Toyoda is an uplifting J-pop and band-pop track capturing two people moving forward together through blue skies, summer wind, hillside streets, and a seaside town.

Its energetic rhythm is balanced by a gentle nostalgia for a summer that will someday become a precious memory. The repeated title hook and warm, mature male vocal give the song a clear emotional identity. It is a fitting track for summer drives, golden-hour playlists, and moments when listeners need a hopeful push forward.

The song is the first chapter of a two-part summer release, followed by "Ano Natsu no End Roll" ("The End Roll of That Summer") on August 28, 2026.
