Jpop Recommend #92 Shonen-jidai by Yohsui Inoue

少年時代 Shonen-jidai

井上 陽水 Yohsui Inoue


Released in September 1990, this is his 29th single.  This is one of the most popular summer songs sung by all generations.  The melody and the lyrics reminds me of blue sky, white big clouds and my grandparent's house in Shimane.
