The landmark first release from 〈HAWARA INTERNATIONAL〉, the new sub-label launched by 〈EDITION HAWARA〉! “Sun Tan Club For” by Takashi Shima—a member of PIPER, a band that made its mark on the 1980s Japanese city pop and AOR scenes and continues to enjoy immense popularity both domestically and internationally, particularly following the reissue of their masterpiece *Summer Breeze*—is being re-released! This is the perfect soundtrack for achieving a sun-kissed glow, originally released in collaboration with the American sun care brand Hawaiian Tropic. From tropical boogie brimming with resort vibes to New Age-style synthesizer music evoking the sound of waves lapping the shore, and even laid-back lounge tracks. Regardless of whether you actually get a tan, this is the kind of midsummer sound that will leave you spellbound and feeling the heat through your ears. The original is still a rare find—for those who want to savor the lingering taste of summer even as the weather cools down. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
