I find Japan's concept of summer very interesting. Very interesting indeed, that it seems melancholic, yet tranquil, at the same time.

Summer is the time for adventure, the time for experiencing new things, and it would conclude to sadness once it ends, together with the memories that it brought.

I am impressed that a metal song like this can get this sad.

This is the closing song from the anime 「私がモテないのはどう考えてもお前らが悪い」 ("watashi ga motenai no wa dou kangaetemo omaera ga warui" / "It's your fault that I don't get popular") on its 6th episode, 「モテないし、花火に行く」 ("motenai shi, hanabi ni iku" / "I won't get popular anyway, so I might as well watch the firework show").

Lyrics / Melody: 破矢ジンタ (Jinta Haya?)
Arrangement: 鬱P (Utsu-P) / ミナツキトーカ (Tooka Minatsuki) (パンドリストP (Pandorist-P))
Vocals: 初音ミク (Miku Hatsune)

(I'm sorry, I just had to insert where the screams are--this is a metal song, after all)
