The first song I'd like to introduce is Surfer Johnny, a solo song by Keisuke Kuwata, a member of the popular national band Southern All Stars.
Southern All Stars has a strong image of summer and the sea, and among their many songs, this one is the one that comes to mind when you think of the sea, as it directly conveys the image of the sea.
A pure and refreshing number that sings of a man's feelings of falling in love with a woman he meets on the beach.
Just listening to the song brings to mind images of people having fun on the beach and lovers frolicking in the water, with a view of blue skies, blue seas, and white sandy beaches spreading out before your eyes.
If you want to feel the ocean, this is the song I recommend you listen to first.

Chatmonchy "Flying Fish Butterfly"
Next up is Tobiuo no Butterfly by Chatmonchy, a popular girls rock band known for their cute atmosphere.
This is an exhilarating rock number that will make you feel excited from the intro.
The song is based on the fantasy of becoming a flying fish and swimming comfortably in the ocean, and it's incredibly refreshing.
It's perfect to listen to to get in the mood before heading to the beach, but I also recommend listening to it at home while daydreaming about going to the beach.
You can feel the ocean in any situation, and it's a refreshing song that makes you feel like you're swimming between the sea and the sky.
BEGIN "The Islander's Treasure"
The next song I'd like to introduce is "Shiminjin no Takara" by BEGIN, a band from Okinawa.
This song is packed with all the great things about Okinawa; it's not just a song that embodies the ocean, it's a song that embodies Okinawa.
It's a wonderful song that exudes the gentle, unique atmosphere that flows through the place of Okinawa and the people who live there.
In our everyday lives, we get so busy that we tend to forget the important things.
This song reminds us of the importance of nature, one of those things.
And it's a song that makes you feel like it has a vast vessel, just like the ocean, that makes you realize not only the importance of nature, but also the connections between people and caring for others, and what is truly important in life.

Judy and Mary "Kujira No. 12"
Just hearing the song "Kujira No. 12" by JUDY AND MARY, the legendary rock band featuring female vocalist YUKI, makes you feel excited and ready to head out to sea!
Although it's a rock song, it's not too rough or intense, and it's a song that makes you feel bright and happy.
This song has an excellent metaphor, comparing the large clouds floating in the summer sky to a large whale swimming in the ocean.
Just hearing this song brings to mind a summery seascape: a blue sea, a blue sky above it, and large cumulonimbus clouds.
And the scenery that comes to mind is a place that is sure to please anyone.
Even if you're feeling down, listening to this song will make you feel happy.
Kenta Kiritani "Voice of the Sea"
The last song I'd like to introduce is "Voice of the Sea," sung by Kenta Kiritani, an actor who is active in the industry and has demonstrated his multifaceted talents.
This song is set to be sung by Urashima Taro, also known as Ura-chan, played by Kiritani Kenta in an au commercial. It was originally a commercial song, but as it gained popularity it was released as an official recording.
His main job is as an actor, so he's not particularly good at singing, but the appeal of this song is that he packs his heart into it and sings it powerfully and simply.
It's a song that will make a bubbling sensation in your heart, like the nostalgia that comes out of nowhere that everyone feels when they see the sea.
By the way, the song was composed by members of BEGIN, who were introduced above.
It's a masterpiece that makes you feel the kindness of the sea.
