[Summer Songs] Recommended for Women! A Collection of Perfect Karaoke Summer Tunes (71–80)
tobacco / cigarette(s)Koresawa
Tobacco by Koresawa is famous as a summer breakup song.
Starting from the moment her beloved boyfriend walks out of the room, the song portrays a heartbroken woman who regrets saying too much and bursts into tears as memories of his kindness come back to her.
Even though she can’t smoke, the way she lights a cigarette because she misses him so much vividly reflects her lingering attachment.
There’s also an answer song from the boyfriend’s perspective called Koibito Shikkaku (Disqualified as a Lover), so be sure to listen to it together.
summer stormJenīhai
Jenny High is a five-member band formed around Enon Kawatani of Gesu no Kiwami Otome.
Their song “Natsuarashi” features a refreshing female vocal that makes it perfect for karaoke.
It’s a breezy pop tune that fits all kinds of situations—another big selling point.
The piano phrases are super stylish too, so singing this track might make people think you have great taste in song selection! The music video also matches the vibe of the song, so playing it while you sing could make things even more exciting.
That gentle girlsupittsu
This is a song by Spitz that was chosen as the theme for NHK’s morning drama series Natsuzora.
Even though the lyrics don’t contain especially summery words, it’s amazing how, even without knowing the show’s title, if you close your eyes and listen, a summer blue sky comes to mind—classic Spitz! It’s the kind of song that makes you want to see someone, makes you want to be kind.
It’s a track that’s fully satisfying just to listen to, but Spitz songs are also in a comfortable key for women to sing, so I recommend it as a karaoke song for women with lower natural voices.
Forget it by tomorrowCharan Po Rantan
Since their formation, Charan-Po-Rantan have captivated many fans with their unique world-building.
This piece is a song released in September 2024 to commemorate the sisters’ third anniversary of going independent.
Its sprightly accordion rhythm and wistful melody stand out, deftly portraying the transience of love and the complexity of emotions.
While the lyrics drunkenly profess love, the repeated title hints at a self-protective stance toward a one-night relationship.
By calling past memories “sins,” it also conveys the struggle of emotions that refuse to be forgotten, no matter how hard one tries.
A track that captures fleeting feelings alongside the summer heat and the changing seasons—recommended for anyone who relates to the complexities of human relationships.
It’s extremely hot -e.p ver-Higuchi Ai (Ai Higuchi)
As the title “It’s Scorching Hot” suggests, this song is packed with summer scenes and perfectly fits the description of an “adult love song.” At first, it feels like a sweet, cheerful romance that makes you smile, but as you keep listening, you start to sense, “Hmm… is this a love that can’t be spoken about openly?” Still, it never turns somber—it’s very pop, yet stings in places, and brims with the sweltering heat of summer.
It’s a jam-packed track that might be a hit as a karaoke song for a girls’ night out, too.
Ghost in the FlowersYorushika
Yorushika captivates everyone with songs that conjure up stories and unfold vivid scenes before your eyes.
Their track Summer Ghost is also the theme song for the anime film A Whisker Away, and it’s packed tight with the bittersweet feelings of summer.
It’s a song that seems to recall not the present, but a summer in the past—and being with someone during that time—and those memories deepen the ache.
It’s a slightly wistful summer number about the season that returns every year, and the someone you remember each time it does.
dogwood (flowering dogwood)Hitoto Yo
Beloved across generations and famously known as the most-sung karaoke song of the Heisei era, Yo Hitoto’s signature track Hanamizuki is a single released in 2005.
It’s easy for people of all ages to sing and is a quintessential karaoke song that suits any crowd.
The song is also well-known for having been covered by numerous artists.
Though the dogwood flower blooms in early spring, the lyrics evoke a crystal-clear sky, making it a perfect number for summer as well.
