Sorry, it's too late reply, but I'd like to mention the vibe I've got from 'Storm in Lover' as a Japanese fan.

In Japan in the 1980s, the Caribbean music got some popularity, and its summer-like atmosphere was thought to be cool. So many tunes that use Caribbean rhythms and instruments, e.g. Salsa, Mambo, Calypso..., has been produced in Japanese pop music. ex) https://youtu.be/BffM2bY7luo

Since 'Storm in Lover' is a revival of that 80's songs, it might have an element of the Caribbean music, I think.

Japan is located far from Latin America, so its culture has not fully penetrated into Japanese people. The cultural difference between countries in Latin America looks somewhat ambiguous for us, and only few of us could tell apart what kind of music it is in the Latin music although most can tell it Latin music as a whole. Many Japanese fans say "Storm in Lover has a vibe of Samba" because Samba is the most famous Latin music in Japan.

This is my perspect. Thank you for reading!
