Acceleration of Summer ~Kiss In My Heart~Janku Fujiyama

Acceleration of Summer ~Kiss In My Heart~

eK X Space “Father’s Choice” 30-second 1080P HD

The song used in the eK Space commercial featuring Ryoma Takeuchi is Junk Fujiyama’s “Natsu no Kasokudo ~Kiss In My Heart~.” It’s included on the album “Happiness.” Its refreshing, light feel perfectly matches the title “Natsu no Kasokudo” (Summer Acceleration) and really lifts your spirits! The melody also leaves an impression with a vibe that evokes the 1980s, stepping a little away from the present day.

It’s filled with an atmosphere that makes you want to head out for a drive while listening to the track.

And if the person sitting next to you is someone you have feelings for, just like in the lyrics, even better!
