砂を焦がした真っ赤な太陽が落ち
蒼く淡い夕闇が海と溶けあい
夏の夜がはじまる
今宵いつか夢で見たよに
君と二人で戯れたいのさ
忘れかけてた感情取り戻したよ
焼けた素肌が心まで熱くしてくれた
夏の魔法
今宵いつか夢で見たよに
君と二人で戯れたいのさ
砂に描こう二人のステップで
誰も知らない夏物語
終わらない夜をはじめよう月は満ちた
裸足のままで駆けだそう光に向かい
夏の星探そう
今宵いつか夢で見たよに
君と二人で戯れたいのさ
空に語ろう二人のハーモニーで
誰も知らない夏物語
君と二人で戯れるのさ

The definitive Shonan City Pop of the 2020s
Citta Yuuki Akimoto has become the successor to Shonan City Pop through his work with Bread & Butter's Iwasawa Fuyumi in Surf City Playerz.
As the name suggests, Summer Story is a mini-album of summer songs.
The refreshing "Afterimage" (Kamakura FM LIFE BEAT LAB theme song) and "Midsummer Rays" have a funk and disco feel to them, as do the "Woman Living in the Night" and "Summer Story."
Sax player Nakazono Ami, who has been extremely active in recent years, also participates, giving it a Japanese fusion feel, making this a worthwhile album to get into in the summer.
