<p>A fanmix for the visual novel <cite><ahref="https://www.asummersend.com/home">A Summer’s End — Hong Kong 1986</a></cite>, dedicated to Sam and Michelle’s love story.</p>
<p>This mix contains mostly Cantonese and English songs, with one Mandarin song. Majority of these songs were performed by Hong Kong artists and released in the 80s, because A Summer’s End took place in Hong Kong and in the 80s.</p>
<p>I have carefully selected and arranged these tracks, so the lyrics would reflect Sam and Michelle’s relationship development throughout A Summer’s End. Therefore, the content of this mix could be considered spoilers if you have not played the visual novel.</p>
<p>Since Oracle and Bone has cited Anita Mui as a major inspiration for them and this visual novel, I have also included multiple songs performed by Anita Mui in this mix. Because A Summer’s End is a lesbian story, when I was choosing which songs to include in this mix, I also prioritize songs that were performed by women artists.</p>
