バン！バン！バカンス
Bang! Bang! Vacances
SMAP
Released in July 2005, this merry summer tune is their 37th single. After being the most renowned super idol in Japan for decades, the group was dissolved last year.
This is one of my favorite SMAP songs. This silly and merry song is perfect tune to start the summer.
