is the 13th single by Japanese singer/songwriter Chisato Moritaka. Written by Moritaka and Kyhei 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 kaykyoku ballad with Canzone Napoletana influences.

The B-side is "Itsumademo", which was used as the ending theme of the 1991 anime TV series 'Mischievous Twins: The Tales of St. Clare's'.

"Hachigatsu no Koi" peaked at No. 6 on Oricon's singles chart and sold 106,000 copies.
