Song of Summer



A song from Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai is about a heat wave in Japan. You don't have to understand Japanese lyrics to follow the story; that's made clear in the tune and the video. They especially capture the shock of going from air conditioning to outside and vice versa. (via Metafilter)

Speaking as someone who lives in Japan, every emotion in this song is perfect!

The top of Japan is about equal to the top of Oregon, and the bottom equal to about Sonora Mexico, plus sea level to 23 mountains over 10,000 feet. It’s easy to see the weather running to extremes.
