metro trip -- Summer Days

 

Summer days are as far away as they can be right now when the temperatures outside of my home are closer to Absolute Zero and the winds are bearing down on us at about Warp One. It would be really nice for some of that sun and warmth to return but we'll probably have to wait a few more months.

Anyways, another vicarious attempt at the hot season will be granted here via the 2000s pop duo metro trip. "Summer Days" was written and composed by one-half of the pair, musician Taka Aoki（青木多果）, while his partner, vocalist Tomoka Hino（日野友香）, has a fine time singing the melody influenced by bossa nova and samba. And there is no hint of snow or ice in there at all. 😀The song shares track space with my first exposure to metro trip, "BABYBABY" on their debut full album "Tsuki to Drive" （月とドライブ...The Moon and The Drive） from January 2006.

Kids, you might want to recheck your seating in the car there!
