桜田淳子／十七の夏【うたスキ動画】【歌詞字幕付き】※誰が何と言おうと私は17歳

I sang “Jūshichi no Natsu” (The Summer of Seventeen), originally released by Junko Sakurada in 1973. At first, I tried singing the cover version by “W (Double You)”—a Japanese female pop duo from the 2000s—but the harmonies were tricky and the arrangement felt very different from the original. So I ended up recording the original version instead. While trying to imitate the singer’s tone, I realized the chorus is much higher than I expected… so yes, I sound like I’m struggling a bit! About the thumbnail: I asked AI to draw it, but every time I complained that it made me look too old, it made me look even older. I swear I’m not that old! In fact, I always tell people I’m “17” in real life—so sometimes I even forget my real age and have to calculate it on my phone. Hope this cover brings you a smile!
