Apparently the #ThursdayFiveList this week is #SongsOfSolstice, and since there is only One True Summer OP, I am forced to contribute.
It is, of course, Ayukawa-centric. Night of Summer Side, Kimagure Orange Road’s OP1, a classic by all possible standards. https://youtu.be/xUHBABuuGDI
Cross Game’s first OP, Summer Rain: https://youtu.be/A-D6RwES6Ls
And since I summoned Adachi, his first major work Touch used Yukiko Okada’s “Summer Beach” as an insert song: https://youtu.be/AprXYA6HO5o
OP2 for Summer Time Rendering is bangin’ so here ya go: https://youtu.be/tsYbt0sBYWo
…and while I feel like the Kowloon OP “Summertime Ghost” isn’t as fitting for the show as I’d like, it’s still solid, and the show is locked to summer heat so beats out the rest in that regard! https://youtu.be/XBByBaC1WbM
