fireworks (launched into the sky)DAOKO × Yonezu Kenshi

Fireworks—do you watch them from below, or from the side? Fireworks are one of those indispensable parts of making summer memories, aren’t they? A summer we thought wouldn’t end.
A night we wished would last forever.
Who is the person you’d like to spend time with, as your summer memories are lit up by the sudden bloom of fireworks? Try listening to this song together with someone you want to create wonderful memories with.
To the Lightmiwa

A summer song sung by miwa that makes you feel a warmly enveloping love.
When you think of summer songs, you might imagine lively dance tracks.
But this one has a melody like a white beam of light piercing straight up into the sky—something you can sing in summer without it getting overly hyped.
The lyrics evoke an image of a gentle yet strong-willed woman, making it a perfect choice for women’s karaoke, too.
It works both as a love song and as an anthem cheering on those who are doing their best, so it seems fitting to sing in many different situations!
Blue and SummerMrs. GREEN APPLE

This song was written in August 2018 as the theme for the film “Ao-Natsu: Kimi ni Koi Shita 30-nichi.” In August 2020, it became Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s first track to surpass 100 million total streams, and by January 2024 it had exceeded 500 million.
The lyrics open with summer icons like cool breezes, wind chimes, and sunflowers, giving an initially refreshing impression, yet they carefully portray the complex emotions unique to adolescence—such as a friend’s lies and anxieties about love.
It’s a song that celebrates taking action in youth rather than staying passive.
Perfect for those who want to step into a new romance at the start of summer.
Star Lablationkerakera

An upbeat love song that sings of wavering feelings and firm resolve.
Released in May 2013, it drew attention as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Last Cinderella” starring Ryoko Shinohara.
It’s a motivational song that sets the feelings of a woman who, though awkward, tries to pursue love straightforwardly to a bright and catchy melody.
The careful portrayal of her journey from putting on a brave face to becoming honest with herself gently gives listeners a push forward.
Isn’t it the perfect track for livening up a karaoke session or encouraging a friend struggling with love?
You and the summer music festivalSHISHAMO

When you think of summer, you think of festivals! Here’s a summer song I recommend for women who love music: “Kimi to Natsu Fes.” It captures the feelings of a girl who goes to a summer music festival with her boyfriend, whom she hasn’t been dating for long.
She tries to hold back so she won’t put him off, but in the end she can’t help herself and gets so into the music that she doesn’t even notice how he’s reacting.
The moment the song ends, she panics—“Oh, it’s over”—and can’t bring herself to meet his eyes.
So, how will he respond…? It’s the perfect track to listen to before heading to a summer festival with someone you like!
Over DriveJUDY AND MARY

A classic 90s high-energy rock number that’s still a karaoke favorite today.
Released as a single in June 1995, it became JUDY AND MARY’s first entry into the Oricon Top 10.
With the exhilarating feel of dashing under a summer blue sky and YUKI’s innocent, free-spirited vocals, it creates a world that instantly liberates the listener’s heart.
When the karaoke session starts to heat up, why not belt out those high notes and sing it with abandon?
Bluebirdikimonogakari

A powerful number that sings of a strong will for freedom under the theme of “longing for the blue sky and the resolve to take flight.” Written and composed by Yoshiki Mizuno and delivered through Kiyoe Yoshioka’s transparent vocals, it brilliantly captures the determination to break through the status quo and head toward a new world.
Released in July 2008, it was featured as the opening theme for the anime Naruto Shippuden.
Debuting at No.
3 on the Oricon Weekly Chart, it became Ikimono-gakari’s first Top 3 entry—a milestone release.
It’s an energizing track recommended for those striving toward their dreams or about to take a new step in life.
