The first music video for the summer classic "Goodbye Summer Day" is complete! The music video for "Goodbye Summer Day", a song from Tatsuro Yamashita's 10th studio album "ARTISAN", which is famous for its full-length animation music video masterpiece by one of today's leading artists, Nina Ai, has been completed to commemorate the release of the latest remastered version. "Goodbye Summer Day" is a song based on Tatsuro Yamashita's actual memory from his high school days, when he was caught in a sudden shower while going to an amusement park pool with his girlfriend. It is a classic summer song that is filled with a little hope for the future amid the sentimental feelings of longing for teenagers as summer (youth) ends and boys and girls become adults. The video was produced by Nina Ai, an up-and-coming artist who has worked on music videos for various artists such as YOASOBI, Kenshi Yonezu, and Olivia Rodrigo, and the classic summer song has been reborn 30 years after its release. This music video, which is entirely animated, is based on the universal theme of "time" that boys and girls face, and skillfully expresses the fragility and transience of adolescence, leaving a vivid impression and giving the song a fresh feel as if it were a new song for the modern era. Furthermore, since no music video was made for this song when the album was first released in 1991, this is the first time that a music video has been made for "Goodbye Summer Days." Please enjoy this timeless summer classic with the latest footage, just like the memories of your teenage years that never fade.
