Blue Coral ReefMatsuda Seiko

This is a hit song by Seiko Matsuda, the super idol who sparked countless booms and legends such as the “Seiko-chan cut.” Just singing it gives you a slightly nostalgic feeling, and it’s also fun to perform while pretending to be Seiko-chan.

What’s more, it’s well-known even among older people who might not be familiar with younger artists’ songs, so it’s sure to liven up a karaoke session.

The End of SummerMoriyama Naotaro

Naotaro Moriyama is a singer-songwriter whose powerful, message-driven lyrics move listeners, and he is the son of Ryoko Moriyama.

Did you know that his third single, “End of Summer,” which was used as the ending theme for the digest documentary program Netsu-to Koshien, is in fact an anti-war song? The song spans a wide vocal range, and the chorus features Moriyama’s trademark falsetto, so adjust the key to suit your voice when singing it at karaoke.

The tempo is quite relaxed, making it a number you can sing while checking the lyrics and pitch.

If you’re looking for a cute summer song—an adorable Nogizaka46 track about young love—I recommend “Hadashi de Summer.” It’s the first song where Asuka Saito served as center, and it was also performed at that year’s NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

The lyrics portray unrequited feelings from a male perspective, but they’re relatable regardless of gender, capturing a sweet, heart-fluttering crush.

It’s a refreshing summer tune with minimal vocal range ups and downs, so it’s easy to sing.

Give it a try when you want to elevate the summer mood.
