✨CÔTE D’AZUR✨

Unexpectedly, I felt it.
Beyond a pleasant slumber,
there lies a world overflowing with light.

I spent the night in a room on the top floor of the Seaside Hotel.
The clock hands are already at 10.
My body... why is it? It is covered in sweet sweat.

I remembered nothing of last night.
Only that I felt an unbearable sense of longing
for the intense temptation of midsummer.

I quickly opened the small stained-glass window.
Along with the dazzling light, what I heard
was the "sound of the tide" and an ocean orchestra named "La Mer."

The sky I looked up at was made of ultramarine magic glass.
The fairies of the sea breeze came one after another to greet me.

"Good morning❤" "Good morning❤" "Good morning❤..."
"By the way, how is the sea?"
I cast my gaze toward the sea, just as I was called to do.

Splash, swish— splash, swish—
Swish, splash
Splash, swish— splash, swish—
Swish, splash

Foaming waves, and more waves.
They are like freshly squeezed tropical juice.
A long beach, woven from scorching silver sand
and a rainbow-colored carpet, spreads out below.

A giant illusion of light reflecting and scattering.
It continues endlessly to the horizon.

Like the coral sea of eternal summer, like a supreme dream space,
or perhaps like a paradise of the sun,
just how hot is this sea, I wonder?

Before long, summer girls, ready to burst with energy,
came running along the ciel-pink shoreline,
frolicking with the seabirds.

Into the flower garden of beach umbrellas.
And then, back to the shoreline.

Good Day Sunshine Good Day Sunshine
Good Day Sunshine

Prism rays pouring down brilliantly.
Countless golden pebbles
vividly dyed the entire surface of the sea.

Offshore, two yachts of gold and silver,
wafting the perfume of rose wine.

The sea is the birthplace of all life.
Just like a mother holding her child,
it embraced both joy and sorrow.

Clouds shaped like many memories
race across the canvas of the vast sky.
A strawberry soda breeze—.
Sky of Blue and Sea of Green

Yes, somewhere, I have seen a sea like this before.
That is the Côte d’Azur.
A memory of a distant day that will never fade...
Every time summer returns, I look back.

A wide and vast sea & a calm sea & a sparkling sea & a mother-like sea....
I have collected songs that evoke various seas as the second installment following "Sparkling Summer."
The melodies, rhythms, and moods are
of a beauty that seems not of this world.

"Yesterday" is one of the "Beatles numbers" that stands shoulder to shoulder
with Hey Jude, Imagine, Let It Be, etc. It is a historic masterpiece.

"La Mer" means "sea" or "mother" in French,
and is a great chanson masterpiece by Charles Trenet that spells out a longing for the sea.

"Al Di Là" is a great canzone masterpiece
sung by comparing a loved one to a distant, ideal existence. It flew from the Sanremo Music Festival to the world.

Please enjoy these wonderful messages about the sea
from a foreign land.

Last month's pinned article, "On Marriage," which was very well received,
has returned home with a smile.
It said, "Wishing everyone in the world happiness!"

Now, this month's pinned article is "Côte d’Azur."
In Japanese, would it be "Azure Coast"?
I look forward to your company for a while.🐰🐰🐰

Also, Aoi has been on a long break from writing😢
Despite that, thank you for all the likes you have given me.
Thank you.
Please wait a little longer
until I can resume my writing activities.

That's right, I've seen a sea like this somewhere before.
