The song "Classic Summer" is a nostalgic summer vacation in the student days of the mid-Heisei era as experienced by kou-kei, and the song shines with its depiction of a summer scene with a bit of danger peculiar to the middle caste, preserving the culture of the mid-Heisei era. The sound was influenced by early-mid Heisei game sounds such as frutiger aero, drum & bass, and jungle, in keeping with the historical background of the time. The synths that give the clear skeleton of Heisei retro and the drums that have a sense of speed are somewhat nostalgic and sad, and the sound is impressive as if students are bursting with energy as they welcome summer vacation like cicadas.
This is the first work that shows a new aspect of kou-kei's vocal work, and is the first work that kou-kei himself handled all the tracks, mixing, mastering, and art work.
