Music Corner 29: Lovely Summer-chan
/Lovely Summer-chan is a singer-songwriter who rose to the music scene back in 2013. Fitting the role of that “cute and cool rock ‘n’ roll gal” audiences might see street preforming in Tokyo, Lovely composes tracks that are calming and mysterious while not trying to reinvent the wheel. She brings a breath of fresh air to the genre that hasn’t seen a refresh since Aimyon a couple years prior. Akin to fellow Music Corner artist She is Summer, Lovely has a simply amazing vocal range that can’t just be defined by one track—and all of her songs she wrote and composed herself. Whether it be matching that smooth like butter R&B style from her track “202”, that bubbly pop style listeners can’t get out of their heads with her track “私の好きなもの” (“Watashi no Sukinamono”), or that more emotional vocal style from “あなたは煙草私はシャボン” (“Anata wa Tabako Watashi wa Shabon”), Lovely shows she’s no one-trick pony.
Currently Lovely Summer-chan has dropped three albums, Bed room no Yume and #Lovely Music from her indie days and LSC from her major label Victor Entertainment. She’s also released one physical single “Ningen no Touchi” in 2017 and one digital single, “Millennium/ You Still Have a Heart of a Young Boy”, which is currently available on Apple Music and Spotify. Lovely’s momentum isn’t stopping anytime soon, as she also found major success with her musical involvement with beverage company Yakuit’s soy milk commercial “吸収しやすいワタナベマユ” (“Kyushu Shiyasui Watanabe Mayu”) in 2018 and web drama Wednesday Girlfriend～水曜日の図書館～ (Suiyoubi no Toshokan) from computer company Fujitsu in 2019.
