With less than a week to go before autumn officially arrives, Torontonians have been enjoying a late summer blast of warmth and sun so I'm sure that there has another spurt of bicycling, swimming and wind surfing among other summery activities. The nights have become pleasantly cool, though.
It's almost been a year and a half since I put up my first article for the singer and songwriter Galali（がらり）and his Neo-City Pop "Sayonara wa Mayonaka ni"（さよならは真夜中に）. Well, this time around, he released this new number a few months previously titled "Clear Summer" and it reflects probably what a lot of people here have been feeling this week with all of that tropical fun in the sun. There's nothing particularly urban and groovy here; it's just a melodic version of one final blast of summer enjoyment.
Speaking of summer, Halcali is having a moment of their own as their 2003 song, Otsukare Summer has gone viral on TikTok and it got big enough for the group to reunite at "Koyabu Sonic 2025" the other day, which was the first time they worked together since 2013.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much. I'll have to cover it. Nice to hear a song from long ago get a second look.
