Summer diaryHamasaki Ayumi
“Summer diary,” a track from Ayumi Hamasaki’s second album of 2015, sixxxxxx.
She has many classic summer songs, and this one is highly recommended too! Officially described as “a song imbued with the refreshing brightness and bittersweetness of summer,” it’s—just as the description and title suggest—a very earnest love song about trying to preserve in your heart the memories of a special person with whom you spent the summer.
Summer of GoodbyeTeshima Aoi
If you’d rather spend a slightly sentimental, more grown-up summer than a lively one, I recommend Aoi Teshima’s “Summer of Goodbye (From Up on Poppy Hill).” Released in 2011, this song was used as the theme for the Studio Ghibli film From Up on Poppy Hill.
It was originally a number released by Ryoko Moriyama in 1976.
The lyrics overlay the singer’s emotions onto the summer sea, wind, and living creatures, expressing a hope that, through them, she might someday be able to meet that special someone again.
It’s a song that conveys a woman’s quiet, refined feelings.
Immoral SummerNogizaka 46
This is a Nogizaka46 track whose passionate sound evokes the blistering heat of summer, layered with a hint of illicit romantic impulse.
It’s included on their 39th single, “Same numbers,” released in July 2025.
The lyrics, where curiosity about a more mature world intersects with a dangerous pull that seems ready to cross the line of common sense, embody a bold worldview that only an Under track can express.
It’s guaranteed to lift your spirits when you want to break free from the everyday!
Secret Summertsubaki fakutorī
Sung over a sparkling sound is a slightly bitter love story.
It’s a song performed by Tsubaki Factory from Hello! Project.
The track will be released in July 2025.
With a refreshing sound that conjures up images of a sun-drenched poolside and lyrics that depict the protagonist’s aching feelings as they waver in a forbidden relationship, the contrast really gets you.
The mix of exhilaration and immorality hits you right in the heart.
I think it’s perfect for a summer drive.
Summer is comingDaikoku Maki
Set to passionate Latin rhythms, this Maki Ohguro number portrays the rising anticipation that comes with summer and the impatience hidden deep in the heart.
It’s said that the lyrics reflect a strong will to push back against social pressure to marry and to forge one’s own career.
The timbales-driven beat dramatizes those complex emotions.
Released in April 1994 as her eighth single, it was chosen as the opening theme for TBS’s music program “COUNT DOWN TV” and is also included on the classic album “Eien no Yume ni Mukatte.” For anyone who wants to shine in their own way, this song might just give you the powerful push you need.

Midsummer day!Nogizaka 46
This is a song by the idol group Nogizaka46.
It was released in 2025 as a track on their 39th single.
Chosen as the “Nogizaka46 Meiji Jingu Stadium Performance 10th Memorial Song,” it’s an up-tempo summer tune.
Its bouncy rhythm and liberating melody line feel great, making you want to take off running as soon as you hear it.
The lyrics express feelings for a loved one encountered by chance on a midsummer day, and that sweet-and-sour worldview is part of its charm.
It’s a bright piece that also spotlights the expressive performance of center member Haruka Kaki.
A midsummer passing showerUtada Hikaru
Hikaru Utada’s song “Manatsu no Tooriame” makes you feel as though it might be about losing someone important.
It’s unclear whether that person was a summer fling or someone closer, like family.
Still, the fact that they even appear in dreams suggests they’re someone unforgettable, etched deeply within.
Summer also brings the Obon season, so many listeners might find themselves remembering someone they long to see when they hear this song.
The lyrics are heartrending, but the beautiful melody makes it a track you can’t help but be captivated by.
