RE: Anime Tracks Thursdays #29: Perfect Song For A Slow Slice-of-life Summer Episode

For a slow slice-of-life summer episode with the MC riding a bicycle to work under blooming flowers and gentle summer rain, I’d pick “Tadaima” by Maaya Sakamoto from the anime Tamayura. Its soft, nostalgic melody and warm vocals perfectly capture the serene, reflective vibe of a quiet summer moment. Imagine the MC pedaling through a sun-dappled countryside, a light breeze carrying the scent of rain and flowers—this song fits like a glove. I’ve enjoyed slice-of-life anime like Non Non Biyori and Barakamon, and this track feels like it could underscore those heartfelt, everyday scenes. Here’s a Spotify link to the song—hope it hits the right mood for you.
