This is one of her signature songs—an ear-pleasing classic from Hello! Project, produced by Tsunku, full of playful spirit and humor.
The super-upbeat love song that had us all idolizing Ayaya back then still keeps the same irresistible groove today.

Then, in the chorus, the song shifts, repeating the title phrase.
The flow and pronunciation here are unique as well, making it stick in your head.

This is the seventh single by Japanese singer and actor Yutaka Mizutani, released on July 21, 1980.
It was the theme song for the second series of the hugely popular drama Netsu Chu Jidai: Kyōshi-hen, in which Mizutani himself starred.

With its somewhat bittersweet melody and lyrics, it’s a highly recommended track to revisit now, evoking childhood nostalgia.
Enjoy it while reflecting on your own boyhood days.
