NATSUKOISPARKLE

-Newly born Marutakeebisu, the first new song is a bursting summer tune! -

Less than two months after the release of the re-arranged album "MARUTAKEEBISU" on June 13, 2025, the third single "Natsukoi Sparkle" is the first summer-themed song for Marutakeebisu.

The song begins with a high-voltage intro that starts with a hammering sound, followed by the call of "Hey!" and a melodious riff, and is truly a new frontier. The A melody, sung by Himeka and featuring guitar cutting, is very uplifting, while the B melody, sung by Kurumi and Rion, is poetic throughout, with items appearing to give a summer feel to the song. The chorus expresses the swaying heart of love. In the chorus, onomatopoeic words expressing wavering love and onomatopoeic words expressing cider are well blended to sublimate the life-sized feelings of falling in love. The song is a summer staple of Marutakeebisu's music, and is sure to be a hit at live performances.

The second song, "Sayonara wa yasashiku," featuring Rion on main vocals, is included as a coupling track. This song was already in the repertoire at the Kyoto Theater performance in March 2025, and was performed by the members on different instruments. It is a sad ballad that reminds us of goodbye, and the newly added strings arrangement adds to the beauty of the song. The beautiful melody and lyrics, in which Rion's individuality shines through, are a joy to listen to.

Although the two songs seem to be symmetrical, both of them are highly recommended to be listened to in succession, as they both showcase the originality of Marutakeebisu.
