Last week, the Natsu no Owari (螟上?邨ゅo繧) YouTube channel released an anime music video for the song “Natsu no Owari” (夏の終わり, “Summer’s End”).

Created by Nagae Haruyoshi, the music video portrays a three piece band performing the song on a ruined, uncovered pedestrian bridge. The post-processing, shading, and colors come together to create a sweltering atmosphere, whose power is matched by the force of the music.

Haruyoshi tweeted that they tackled various techniques for the production of this animation and that the video was constantly on their mind for two years.

“Natsu no Owari” was originally a 2023 song, but had its digital release on September 1, 2025 JST. Natsu no Owari, a Vocaloid producer who uses the Vocaloid Yuzuki Yukari, cites it as one of their representative works.

“Natsu no Owari” is included in a YouTube playlist titled Natsu no Owari no Monogatari.
