This song is by the Fujii sisters unit, members of E-girls.

Musically, it’s dance music.

With a cool dance beat pulsing throughout, it features melodic sections that give it dynamic contrast, and the Fujii sisters’ clear vocals further elevate the track.

Partly because the song itself is over 30 years old, it feels incredibly nostalgic.

The melody is beautiful and calm, yet it also carries a slight disco vibe reflective of its era.

For those in their late 40s to 50s, it’s a track that will feel especially nostalgic.

The song has a slow tempo, and both the melody and vocals carry a somewhat mystical atmosphere that drew me into its world as I listened.

The natural imagery in the music video also matches the track, giving the impression that sound and visuals together form a single work.

I felt it had a country music-like style.

As for the imagery, although it’s personal, scenes from the American Wild West came to mind.

In terms of listening experience, the melody is calm, so I think it’s very easy to listen to.

This song has a beautiful, easy-to-listen-to melody that expands grandly as it moves into the chorus.

Personally, the image that came to mind was a vast, majestic grassland.

Overall, the track has the feel of a Western rock band.

Also, since the end of last year, the artist Ykiki Beat has been on hiatus.

With a club music-like vibe, it has a sense of speed and is catchy, and just when you think that, a rap suddenly comes in—so it’s a song that never gets boring to listen to.

It’s the song I want to hear most at [Alexandros]’s live shows right now.

Also, the ending of the music video is really funny.

I felt that “Summer Vacation” beautifully captures the atmosphere of summer—the melody and vocals feel thick and sweltering, yet unlike winter there’s little tension, making it comfortable.

Personally, I think it’s perfect for a summer night drive.
