But it's not summer.

It’s TUBE’s “Datte Natsu Janai.” It was used as the CM song for the 1993 JRA Summer G Tours and was released the same year as their 17th single.

When you think of summer, you think of TUBE—and when you think of TUBE, you think of summer! 1993 must have been a scorching summer for both the racecourses and TUBE.
