About Summer

Summer is a 2025 Japanese music film directed by Yu Sanbonsuge. It runs 7 minutes. The cast is led by Yuto Shimada, Riko Ishida and Rion Tsukiyama.

Set in a high school in Nishi-Izu slated to close next spring, the story follows members of the school’s broadcasting club as they face their “final summer.” It quietly captures their everyday moments as they try to leave something behind—an imprint of youth, memory, and time. Originally composed as the main theme for Kikujiro (1999), Joe Hisaishi’s timeless piece “Summer” has long been cherished in Japan as the soundtrack of nostalgic summer memories. Now, this beloved masterpiece is reimagined as a short film.
