Ocean Blue Your and My Summer Vacation

This song was originally a candidate for being scrapped, but after being rearranged in a J-POP style, with the addition of piano and a change to female vocals, it was reborn as a nostalgic and heartwarming piece.

Highlights of the story:
Farewell: A boy and a girl, childhood friends who grew up by the sea, are separated when one of them moves away.
The Great Adventure: The following summer vacation, the boy decides to cycle 100km to a town to meet the girl (1:02-1:37).
Reunion: The boy arrives at the girl's house, but she's not home. He leaves a letter indicating he's waiting in the park. Ultimately, the two have an emotional reunion in the park.

In this story, "dusk" holds more significance than simply the passage of time; it's an emotional turning point in the narrative (1:43).

The Story's Reach and Peace: The boy cycles a long distance and finally arrives in the girl's town at dusk. This expresses the bittersweet and warm feeling just before the end of the adventure and the fulfillment of the wish to "see each other again."
Nostalgia: The color of the sky at dusk (a scene that changes from sea blue to orange) makes the memories of the childhood friend and the memories of this summer even more beautiful and somewhat ephemeral.
Signal of Reunion: As the lyrics say, "A letter I left as dusk approached" (1:43), dusk is depicted as the "moment when the gears of fate begin to turn" as the girl notices the letter the protagonist left and heads to the park.

Overall, it is a very important and dramatic element of the story, healing the fatigue of the boy's long adventure and leading to the climax of his reunion with the girl.

It depicts a refreshing summer feeling and a nostalgic story that evokes faint memories of childhood.

Throughout the story, the boy's straightforward and nostalgic "pure love" forms the core of the narrative.
