The Summer Walkway

[Song Introduction] This song, "The Summer Walkway" is a poem about the seemingly mundane scenery you see on a casual stroll on a summer's day. However, these seemingly ordinary everyday moments are very important to me, and each moment is burned into my mind, giving me a warmth and gratitude that stays in my heart. What about you? In this way, the repetitive routines of daily life, the sights and events you see on the roadside that you always pass... depending on how you perceive them, even the same things can seem like a wonderful drama is unfolding.In addition to the original version of "The Summer Walkway" we will also be releasing different versions, and this time we will also be releasing a wonderful instrumental version that sounds like acid jazz, so please be sure to check them out.


[About the author] I, Iijima Katsuji, a songwriter and composer, was born in Midorigaoka, Meguro-ku, Tokyo in 1970 and am now 55 years old. I have had experience as a dancer and DJ since I was young, and perhaps as an extension of that, I began writing and composing in earnest in 2024 to realize the joy of creating music. Through this activity, I sincerely pray for world peace and sincerely hope that we can contribute to a world without war (conflict), even if only a little.
