About the song
"Summertime Record" (サマータイムレコード) is a J-Pop song by Jin that entered anime in 2014 through Shaft’s Mekakucity Actors, part of the Kagerou Project (カゲロウプロジェクト) franchise. In the series it appears as the ending theme for episode 12. The song had already been released on Jin’s 2013 album Mekakucity Records.
The track is built as polished, emotionally direct J-Pop. Its verses feel measured and reflective, then open into a broader chorus with a brighter, more uplifted melodic sweep. That movement between restraint and release gives the song a summery glow while keeping a trace of melancholy in its pace and phrasing.
That emotional balance suits a story about the Mekakushi Dan, recurring summer events, hidden pasts, and bonds formed under supernatural pressure. As a Kagerou Project song that predates its anime use, "Summertime Record" also links the wider multimedia project to Mekakucity Actors itself.
