Jpop Recommend #401 Ao to Natsu by Mrs GREEN APPLE

青と夏 Ao to Natsu

Mrs. GREEN APPLE


Released in August 2018, this song is the band's 7th single.  Hearing this song will bring me back to my school days.  The song depicts sweet and hot summer so precious for youth who are full of energy and passion.   

I think "青”, the color of blue signifies "blue sky of summer" and "youth".  In Japanese, youth is expressed as "青春", spring time of life.  It literally means "blue spring".  But in this song, they try to express it as "blue summer".
