とても日本の夏らしい歌をAIで作りました。お楽しみください。

（Verse 1）
朝からアスファルトが　ジリジリ焼ける
影をさがして歩く　旅人みたいに
セミのシャウトは止まらない！
「ミーンミーンミーーーン！」命がけ！

Asphalt’s burning from 8 a.m.
I walk like a lost man, seeking shade
The cicadas scream with all their soul—
Nature’s heavy metal parade!

（Chorus）
これが日本の夏だ！
サウナより熱い、湿気の嵐
でも祭りはやめられない！
浴衣と金魚、夜空の花火！

THIS is JAPAN’s crazy summer!
Hotter than hell, and 100% humid
But festivals call, I can’t resist—
Yukata, goldfish, and fireworks kissed

（Verse 2）
Tシャツが3分で　汗だく地獄
コンビニの冷気に　心から感謝
かき氷のためなら1時間待つ
それが日本の　プライドだ！

My shirt is soaked in just three minutes
Thank you, dear konbini air!
I’d wait an hour for shaved ice joy—
That’s summer pride, we dare!

（Chorus）
これが日本の夏だ！
エアコンより強いのは友情！
夜風にゆれる風鈴の音
暑くても、忘れたくない季節

THIS is JAPAN’s burning season!
Stronger than A/C is human connection
Wind chimes sing in the warm night breeze
A season we sweat through, yet never forget

（Bridge）
外国の友よ　覚悟して来てね
日本の夏は　甘くないよ
でも一度体験したらもう
恋に落ちるんだ、この暑さに！

Dear friends from abroad—be warned!
Japan’s summer shows no mercy
But once you’ve lived it, through the heat—
You’ll fall in love with its crazy beauty!

（Final Chorus）
これが日本の夏だ！
太陽も空も本気のバトル
また来年も、この地獄で
君と笑っていたいんだ！

THIS is JAPAN’s full-power summer!
The sky and sun are in a blazing duel
But next year too, in this hot-hot hell—
I wanna laugh with you again!

【SUMMER IN JAPAN】日本語の歌

The cutting of huge figures or ‘geoglyphs’ into the earth of English hillsides has taken place for more than 3,000 years. There are 56 hill figures scattered around England, with the vast majority on the chalk down lands of the country’s southern counties. The figures include giants, horses, crosses and regimental badges. Although the majority of these geoglyphs date within the last 300 years or so, there are one or two that are much older.

The most famous of these figures is perhaps also the most mysterious — the Uffington White Horse in Oxfordshire. The White Horse has recently been re-dated and shown to be even older than its previously assigned ancient pre-Roman Iron Age* date. More controversial is the date of the enigmatic Long Man of Wilmington in Sussex. While many historians are convinced the figure is prehistoric, others believe that it was the work of an artistic monk from a nearby priory and was created between the 11th and 15th centuries.
The method of cutting these huge figures was simply to remove the overlying grass to reveal the gleaming white chalk below. However, the grass would soon grow over the geoglyph again unless it was regularly cleaned or scoured by a fairly large team of people. One reason that the vast majority of hill figures have disappeared is that when the traditions associated with the figures faded, people no longer bothered or remembered to clear away the grass to expose the chalk outline. Furthermore, over hundreds of years the outlines would sometimes change due to people not always cutting in exactly the same place, thus creating a different shape to the original geoglyph. The fact that any ancient hill figures survive at all in England today is testament to the strength and continuity of local customs and beliefs which, in one case at least, must stretch back over millennia.
