Southern All Stars’ “Manatsu no Kajitsu” (Midsummer Fruit) is a song released in 1990 as the theme for the film Inamura Jane.

Its gentle acoustic sound is striking, and the lyrics portray poignant summer scenes.

Among Southern All Stars’ many hits, it could be considered a signature ballad.

As for commercial use, it was featured in a Recruit TV ad for Weekly B-ing starring Keisuke Kuwata; the contrast between the sorrowful song playing and Kuwata’s rapid speech in the commercial left a memorable impression.
