Another Summer (Japanese: アナザーサマー; stylized as ANOTHER SUMMER) is the fourth studio album by Kiyotaka Sugiyama & Omega Tribe, released by VAP on July 1, 1985. It was the first album release with a five-member formation after guitarist Kenji Yoshida left the band in April. The album was #1 on the Oricon chart. The album gave the band another hit single with "Futari no Natsu Monogatari" (ふたりの夏物語 - Never Ending Summer), which was #5 on the Oricon chart.

Background[]

After guitarist Kenji Yoshida withdrew from the band in April, the album was the first release with a five-member formation. Lead vocalist Kiyotaka Sugiyama commented, "We cut down the brass sound from the front and cherished the original sound of the band,"[1] and the band sound was now simple and light.

The single "Futari no Natsu Monogatari" was a hit, charting at #5 on the Oricon chart.[2][3][4] The album was ranked 1st on Oricon and 13th on the 1985 annual album chart.[5] It is the only work released in the summer (June to August), excluding best-of albums and planning boards.

The cover of the jacket and lyrics card was taken on the island of Mykonos in Greece, and below the title is a description of the hotel "Les Morin" on the island.
