The cover single “Mayonaka no Joke feat. Natsu Summer” by Tokimeki Records was released today, Wednesday, July 31st.
Following the cover of Momoko Kikuchi’s “Mystical Composer” released in June, this work is a cover of the popular song “Mayonaka no Joke” from Takako Mamiya’s only album “Love Trip” (1982). This work was released as a 7-inch single only in 2023 along with a cover of “LOVE TRIP” from the same album, and the vocals are bySummerFeaturing. A mellow soul with a melancholy feel.
[Natsu Summer comment]
Last year, I covered “Mayonaka no Joke,” which was only released on a 7-inch, but this time it will be released digitally, so I’m very happy that even more people will be able to listen to it!
Thank you for this opportunity. There is a parts store in my neighborhood that specializes in vintage Porsches, and there is always an old Porsche parked in front of the store. I imagined driving in one someday, and the song that played at that time was of course “Midnight Joke.” It’s the No. 1 song I want to listen to while driving alone on the Shuto Expressway late at night.
Everyone, please listen to this song and let your thoughts flow.
