Chisato Moritaka’s “My Summer” is her 18th single, released in 1993, and it was the ANA Okinawa campaign song that year.

The chorus is poppy, really striking, and sticks in your head, doesn’t it? While the whole track overflows with Moritaka’s energy, it’s actually a breakup song written right after a heartbreak! Only Chisato Moritaka could sing such a potentially somber breakup theme in such a pop style.

Listening to this song really makes you want to go somewhere.
