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.

A smash hit by Chisato Moritaka, often called the pioneer of Japanese-style Eurobeat.

It’s a song you’ll want to revisit while reflecting on how we all grow older.

By the way, there are a few small differences between the album and single versions of this track.

It might be fun to compare them!
