is the 13th single by Japanese singer/songwriter Chisato Moritaka. Written by Moritaka and Kyōhei Tsutsumi, the single was released by Warner Pioneer on June 25, 1991.
Background This was Moritaka's first collaboration with Tsutsumi after the success of her 1989 cover of "17-sai", which Tsutsumi originally co-wrote for Saori Minami in 1971. The resulting composition was a kayōkyoku ballad with Canzone Napoletana influences.
The B-side is "Itsumademo", which was used as the ending theme of the 1991 anime TV series The Twins at St. Clare's.
Chart performance "Hachigatsu no Koi" peaked at No. 6 on Oricon's singles chart and sold 106,000 copies.
Other versions Moritaka re-recorded the song and uploaded the video on her YouTube channel on August 8, 2012. This version is also included in Moritaka's 2013 self-covers DVD album Love Vol. 1.
