Summer Love AdvisorySHISHAMO
This song by SHISHAMO vividly portrays the emotions of a woman facing love against a summer backdrop.
The confusion and inner conflict of falling in love—and the courage to dive in anyway—are expressed through a refreshing sound.
Seeing a woman throwing herself into love like this is something that would make men want to cheer her on, too! Released on June 28, 2023, the song was also used in a JTB commercial.
On a summer drive date, be sure to sing it together with your girlfriend!
The hottest summer in the worldPRINCESS PRINCESS
PRINCESS PRINCESS opened the door for girls’ bands.
Many women in their 50s probably admired them.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “The Hottest Summer in the World.” This track is notable for its extremely catchy vocal line.
While the range is relatively high at mid2A to hiD, it’s quite narrow.
Since there aren’t any difficult phrases in any section, if you can keep your pitch steady, it’s definitely possible to aim for a score in the 90s at karaoke.
sparklingaiko
Singer-songwriter aiko, who scored numerous summer hits in the ’90s such as “Hanabi” and “Kabutomushi,” released “Kira Kira” in 2005—a refreshing pop tune crafted with summer in mind as the theme song for the Kansai TV/Fuji TV drama “Ganbatte Ikimasshoi.” Its intro features a memorable piano phrase that makes you feel like something good is about to happen; the sound alone conjures up a vision of a clear, translucent summer sky.
summer festivalWhiteberry
Whiteberry is a five-member girls’ band formed in Hokkaido that debuted in 1999.
Although they disbanded around four years after their major debut, in 2004, their song Natsu Matsuri became a huge hit and remains a classic summer tune that’s still sung today.
The moment this song starts playing, it brings back memories from that time and always gets people hyped—making it a must-sing karaoke track.
It’s a highly recommended song that often sweeps everyone up in the moment and sparks a big sing-along.
Summertime Recordjin
Jin, who’s active across a wide range of fields as a novelist, screenwriter, and Vocaloid producer, created the VOCALOID track “Summertime Record.” While it’s a summer song that conveys the heat of the season, its lyrics depict inner conflict, and it also carries a touch of nostalgia.
Even those unfamiliar with VOCALOID will likely find it easy to sing and perfect for feeling the summer vibe—highly recommended for karaoke.
It’s also a great pick for reunions or get-togethers with people of the same generation when you want to sing something that evokes a bit of nostalgia.
Shadows of SummerMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s “Natsu no Kage” is popular across generations and has a calm, slightly bittersweet vibe.
It’s the kind of song you’d want to listen to through your earphones on the way home with friends.
Since the range is B2 to A4 and not too wide, those trademark ultra-high notes from Mrs.
GREEN APPLE barely appear.
It may feel a bit low for women, but it’s a relaxing number to sing.
The key points when singing are, of course, the low notes and the switch into falsetto.
The melody starts mostly in the low range and might be hard to produce, but try singing like Omori-san: raise your eyebrows and imagine sending a lot of breath forward toward your eyebrows.
When switching from chest voice to falsetto, you’ll want to keep the resonance in the same place.
Similarly, use plenty of breath and aim to resonate around your eyebrows and head—sing gently and softly with a floating feel, and the transition will be smoother.
Keep that in mind!
Good-bye daysYUI for Amaoto Kaoru
This is a song released under the name Kaoru Amane, the character played by singer-songwriter YUI in the film Midnight Sun.
It’s one of her signature tracks, isn’t it? The movie is set in summer, and Kaoru Amane performs street gigs in front of the station after sunset; that setting lends the song a certain bittersweet feeling of a summer night.
The story told in the lyrics is enough to make your heart skip a beat.
