The Sound of Summer

It's hot.

Too hot.

Hello everyone and welcome back to Hanasaki Radio!

We're your hosts

Hana

Saki.

And we are

HANASAKI!

Back once again on this glorious day.

Playing you the best music of the summer, all summer!

It's 7:30am, the sun is shining

the cicadas are singing.

What more could you ask for?

Ah, but if I could ask for one thing.

These kind of hot days make me want some watermelon.

Ah I understand. Let's get some later.

So did you hear the news?

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far!

Oh really?

39 degrees!

So that's why I was sweating so much.

The studio was like a sauna!

Really? Anyway, enough about your sweat.

I was dripping!

Yeah yeah we got it.

So what's everyone's day looking like?

Will you be joining us for a slice of watermelon?

Perhaps you're on your way to work or school?

Either way, while out and about be sure to take caution.

Stay hydrated and watch out for heatstroke.

Right right.

Don't make light of the summer.

You'll die.

Why are you saying such things?

I don't know!

Anyway, as the saying goes

"Everything good happens between the months of June and August".

And I think this year too is going to bring a fantastic summer.

I'm so glad to be spending here with you lovely people.

Hey I think a mosquito got in here.

Man it's hot.

Good morning!

Ah! Good morning! Did you catch a lot?

Wa! Nice! well done!

Oh, got to go. See you!

Good morning!

Sorry, you made me jump!

Isn't it hot today?!

Damn hot!

And today's cicadas are particularly noisy.

Ah but I like that.

Really?!

Yeah, it's the sound of summer!

No way.

They're gross.

Yeah maybe you're right.

But it's only going to get worse from here.

Ahh summer in Japan is the worst.

There are some good things too though.

Like what?

Ice coffee!

Oh! Just what I needed!

Thank you!

That's good.

Alright, let's get started.

Okay.

Welcome!

May I take your order?

Hot coffee, coming right up.

One hot coffee please.

Cicada catching?!

It would appear so!

Oh no.

What is he a kid?

Surely he's too old for that!

Wait. What's he doing?

Hold on.

He's giving something to the cicadas!

Oh no.

That's so gross!

Cut it out.

Do you think he heard us?

I think he likes you!

No way! Cut it out!

Cheers!

That's good.

So how are things recently?

As per usual I guess.

On my end, I've been working on my new song.

If you don't mind, could you give it a listen?

Absolutely! Let me hear it.

Okay, here we go.

Not sure if it's tuned or not.

The sound is a bit off.

Wait, wrong chord.

I think the tuning was a little off but.

But this kind of thing.

It was great.

Even out of tune?

Really? I didn't even notice.

Really? That's good then.

Thank you.

Right, let's get out of here.

Yeah, let's go.

Ugh, it's still hot.

- Thank you for today! - See you tomorrow!

Ahh what a day.

Um...

Excuse me...

Could you just...

Please don't fly towards me!

Safe.

I'm ho me!

Who the hell am I talking to?

Are they still singing at this time?!

Hey! It's already 10pm.

Go to sleep already!

Some of us have work tomorrow!

Oil What are you doing shouting at this time!

Shut up!

The paper is wilting.

Looks like today is going to be particularly hot.

- Good morning. - Morning!

- He's back again. - Huh who?

The Cicada Man.

Eww that guy creeps me out.
