Shonan SeptemberSazan Ōrusutāzu

Southern All Stars may have a strong summer image, but they also have plenty of classic songs perfect for autumn.

This work is a bittersweet, AOR-style ballad set in Shonan.

It’s included on the album “Sakura,” released in October 1998, and its distinctly ’90s sound evokes a sense of nostalgia.

The lyrics portray memories of a past love—not just a beautiful reminiscence, but raw emotions like desire and wretchedness, which make it all the more heart-wrenching.

It’s the perfect number for those moments when you want to get a little sentimental by the seaside, after the bustle of summer has faded.

It may touch you even more deeply if you play it at dusk while lost in thought.

The vocalist is Eri Kawai.

With her classical background, her “healing voice,” as if pouring down from the heavens, gently envelops Shiro’s purity.

The track was included on the August 1993 album Crayon Shin-chan Music Collection and was also used as an insert song in the anime.
