In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Flavor of ZONe ENERGY SUMMER VIBES

Upon opening, a sweet and gentle tropical fruit scent mixed with a yogurt drink-like aroma fills the air. When poured into a glass, the milky white color confirms that this is indeed a ZONe familiar yogurt drink flavor. Let’s take a sip.

When I take a sip, the flavor of yogurt drink with gentle sweetness from fruits like orange, peach, and banana unfolds. The taste is surprisingly soft compared to the can design’s image.

There’s no chemical-like taste often associated with energy drinks, so it can be enjoyed like a regular yogurt drink.

Flavor of ZONe ENERGY SUMMER VIBES
If you’re drinking this as a summer energy drink, I’d recommend serving it over ice in a glass rather than chilling it. Drinking it ice-cold enhances the refreshing sensation of the mild carbonation, making it much easier to drink.

Since ZONe SUMMER VIBES is a collaboration with Wednesday Campanella, it was first sold at the "LuckyFes 2024" music festival in July. If you’re at an outdoor summer event, I feel that a refreshing flavor like the one on the can image would match better than the sweet yogurt drink taste that lingers in your mouth. Especially in the steamy heat of summer, whether or not yogurt drink flavors are suitable depends on personal preference.

Also, long-time ZONe fans might have mixed feelings about the return of the yogurt drink flavor. Some might be happy with the revival, while others might feel like it's just another similar flavor. What do the ZONe fans think!?

The colorful tie-dye design, inspired by summer music festivals, along with the custom ZONe logo, and the "SUMMER VIBES" vibe – this design makes it hard to believe the content is actually a gentle yogurt drink (^_^;)

There’s also a T-shirt graphic above the nutritional information, which likely represents the ZONe collaboration T-shirt released in partnership with the streetwear brand "Younger Song," and it might also be referencing the festival T-shirt for the music festival where ZONe SUMMER VIBES was first sold.

The barcode section has a ticket-like design, possibly inspired by the music festival theme.

This time, there were many collaborations, but it’s surprising to see ZONe, originally associated with digital culture and energy drinks, branching out into entirely different genres. I expect more collaboration products in the future, so let’s keep an eye on where ZONe is headed.
