One of the tracks included on the sixth single “I Wish,” “Join us!” Despite being a B-side, it has enjoyed exceptional popularity, even receiving a music video.

It features the refreshing, bright melodies that are a hallmark of Naniwa Danshi.

The vocal range is mid1 E to mid2 G#, which is fairly narrow for a Naniwa Danshi song, so it should be easy for men to sing.

However, the chorus contains prolonged mid-to-high phrases, so be sure to choose a key that doesn’t strain your throat or temples.

This song lets you savor the fluttering excitement of love just beginning, like weather you can’t quite predict.

It was included on the single released by the folk duo H₂O in March 1983 and was used as the opening theme for the Fuji TV anime “Miyuki.” The duo’s breezy harmonies glide over a light, tropical sound.

In contrast to the ballad on the A-side, this arrangement became a hit, selling over 400,000 copies.

Its sophisticated, city-pop-like ensemble would make for the perfect soundtrack to a refreshing seaside drive.

It’s a track I’d recommend to anyone who loves ’80s New Music.
