The Hottest Summer in the WorldPRINCESS PRINCESS
This is one of the signature songs by PRINCESS PRINCESS, known as pioneers of girls’ bands.
It was first released in July 1987, but didn’t attract much attention at the time.
However, when it was re-released in July 1989, it became a massive hit and reached No.
1 on the Oricon Singles Chart.
Kaori Kishitani’s husky vocals and the refreshing melody are memorable, capturing the spirit of summer adventures and youthful passion.
Many people probably found themselves humming this tune back in their school days.
If you sing it at karaoke, why not revisit those nostalgic memories and recall a sizzling page from a summer long past?
Valentine KissKunikyo Sayuri
This is the solo debut song of Sayuri Kokusho, a member of the idol group Onyanko Club, which became a social phenomenon in the 1980s.
She was also famous for the introduction, “Membership number one!” They were idols who felt close and unlike anything anyone had seen before—giving a faint hope of “Maybe I could be an idol too!” But that was the brilliant strategy of the famous producer Yasushi Akimoto.
Even now, every year on February 14, you can still hear her cute singing voice playing somewhere.
for you…Takahashi Mariko
Mariko Takahashi has delivered many songs for grown-ups, and she still has many fans today.
This song, released in 1982, is a classic that moved countless people to tears.
Many women also resonated with the lyrics.
From her days with Pedro & Capricious, her magnificent voice captivated listeners.
It’s a song that will be sung for generations.
Hee, hee, hee, hee,EPO
EPO, known for songs like “Saturday Night Is Paradise,” which was used as the ending theme for the TV show “Oretachi Hyokin-zoku.” This 1983 track was featured in a cosmetics brand’s spring 1983 campaign commercial and became a hit.
It’s an upbeat tune that seems perfect for everyone to sing together and get hyped.
P.S.I LOVE YOUPINK SAPPHIRE
They made waves by appearing on the legendary late-night show “Yūji Miyake’s Ikasu Band Heaven” and went on to debut just like that.
Their debut song “P.S.
I LOVE YOU” was used as a TV drama’s theme and became a smash hit, shooting straight to No.
2 on the Oricon charts—a true Cinderella band.
Their look, which seemed to fuse cute and cool into one, also drew attention at the time.
Their approachable songs—what you could call rock-pop—are still fun to listen to and share today.
If anyone knows them, it’d be great to sing along together.

HikariImai Miki
Speaking of Miki Imai, many women in their 50s have been listening to her in real time and absolutely love her, and I imagine many have made her songs karaoke staples.
Among them, this particular song was featured in the TV drama “Kasōken no Onna” (Woman of the Crime Lab), so it’s well known across a wide range of age groups and comes highly recommended.
Wedding bellSugar
This song is the debut single by the girl group Sugar, released in 1981.
All three members performed in a self-accompanied style, and the gap between the beautiful harmonies at the beginning and the sarcastic, biting lyrics really resonated with listeners, making it a big hit.
If you sing it at karaoke, it’d be great to harmonize on the opening part if possible.
