Summertime BluesSakurada Junko13rank/position

When you think of Junko Sakurada, isn’t she one of the quintessential idol singers of the Showa era? Along with Masako Mori and Momoe Yamaguchi, she was known as part of the “Flower Junior High Trio,” and her appeal lay in her fresh, cool, boyish charm with a short haircut.

This song is about a young, sorrowful romance that lasted only one summer—evoking the image of a slightly grown-up kind of love.

Although Ms.

Sakurada is no longer active in show business, listening to her songs still brings back the atmosphere of those days.

Junko Sakurada Akita OndoSakurada Junko14rank/position

The video is only 30 seconds long, but young Junko Sakurada is so cute and hasn’t faded at all! I didn’t know she was from Akita.

She returned to show business a few years ago, but then took a break—it seems a bit complicated, but I hope she keeps doing her best.
