Compared to the other ending theme, the wistful and graduation ceremony-friendly "Omoide ga Ippai"(思い出がいっぱい), "Goodbye Season" is more upbeat if still somewhat bittersweet. It's centered on the end of the summer season when the holidays are about to come to an end along with any romantic entanglements. Written by Keisuke Yamakawa(山川啓介)and composed by Kisaburo Suzuki(鈴木キサブロ)and arranged by Katsu Hoshi(星勝), there is something about the delivery of Kanji Nakazawa and Masaki Akashio(中沢堅司・赤塩正樹)that brings out the goosebumps of nostalgia in me.
I've been a fan of Japanese popular music for 40 years, and have managed to collect a lot of material during that time. So I decided I wanted to talk about Showa Era music with like-minded fans. My particular era is the 70s and 80s (thus the "kayo kyoku"). The plus part includes a number of songs and artists from the last 30 years and also the early kayo. So, let's talk about New Music, aidoru, City Pop and enka.

H2O -- Goodbye Season (Goodbye シーズン)
