It’s well known that this is a hit song by Akina Nakamori with lyrics and music by Yosui Inoue.

With distinctive lyrics like “Don’t make a fool of me—it’s your fault” and “Boy, just what have you been taught?” Yamaguchi delivers a cool, composed performance.

Rizo RavaBakufū Slump
Starting right from the chorus with “It’s all a lie~,” Rizo-Lover (short for Resort Lovers) captures a fleeting summer romance at a resort set to a poppy, summery sound, then portrays the heartbreak of returning to reality with striking realism.
Though they might be mistaken for a comic band, they’re actually a group with very high musicality.
