Anime Like Natsu ga Hajimaru.
Summer starts the moment you stop waiting for it to begin. This is a music video dressed as a sports film, where Orangestar's production design and Kase's vocals carry the weight that dialogue never needs to. A CalorieMate commercial that somehow captures what it actually felt like to be young and moving your body in 2021, when everything felt like it was trying again.
SYNOPSIS
Summer arrives for a group of high school students navigating their second year back after the pandemic changed everything. Athletes from different clubs push through physical and mental limits as they chase their competitive dreams, each driven by personal reasons to succeed. Some seek redemption. Others want to prove themselves. A few just need to remember what it feels like to give everything to something you love. The animation shifts and adapts throughout, matching the energy of each athlete's journey with visual variety that keeps the momentum alive. Orangestar's track "Surges" pulses beneath it all, capturing the intensity and vulnerability of young people refusing to let uncertainty stop them from competing. This is about resilience in small moments: the grind of practice, the weight of pressure, the joy of pushing past what you thought was possible. It's a celebration of athletes who refuse to be defined by the circumstances surrounding them, instead choosing to surge forward when it matters most.
