My channel has always been about things I love and / or that are personal for me. Mostly music.
For many who lived in Japan in the '80s as teenagers / young adults, it was a magical time. A time never to be repeated. And the music was the soundtrack of our lives at that time.
Any time I hear this song, I am immediately back taken back to those days. And for me, especially the summer of 1984. Spent at the beach in Japan. It was a magical summer. Carefree. And this song was one of the many that were always playing. Sometimes the radio, but usually a mix cassette on someone's chic little mini boombox. Like my Aiwa dual cassette one.
Man, this song captures the feelings of those days, those times so well. And brings back memories of those I spent time with so briefly but with lasting memories. Or ghosts of memories.
Now, 40 years later, I listen to the music and reminisce. And reflect on all that life has held since then.
And.... remember summer days. Those summer days.
