I can see you againKetsumeishi
This is a song by Ketsumeishi that captures both the anticipation of reuniting with someone special as summer arrives and the fleeting moments of bittersweet longing.
The rap and beautiful melody intertwine pleasantly, and you can almost picture your heart fluttering as you realize the person you haven’t seen for a while has become even more charming.
Released in June 2007 and included on the album “Ketsuno Police 5,” the track became etched in many people’s memories as the theme for Shiseido ANESSA’s commercial, featuring Yuri Ebihara in sun-drenched summer scenes.

Nagisasupittsu
A masterpiece distinguished by a fresh, translucent, and beautiful melody that resonates along a summer shoreline, paired with guitar sounds that shimmer like waves.
It deftly captures emotions swaying on the boundary between reality and fantasy, and its characteristically Spitz poetic lyrics leave a lingering afterglow that continues to resonate with many listeners.
Released in September 1996, it was also used as the commercial song for Ezaki Glico’s “Pocky Love Story.” Why not try singing it at karaoke when you want to bask in seaside moments and memories, or when your feelings for someone special are growing stronger?
Scatter! Summer peopleYabai T-shatsu Yasan
A summer song released in 2022 by Yabai T-Shirts Yasan, known for their uniquely funny lyrics! It’s packed with relatable “summer clichés” that’ll make you chuckle—whether you’re at a summer festival, chilling at home, or traveling to popular summer destinations like Okinawa.
It’s especially recommended for pumping up the crowd at karaoke.
Barefoot SummerNogizaka 46
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.
bewildermentGLAY
GLAY is a four-piece rock band that dominated the 1990s J-pop scene with their catchy melodies and cool rock sound.
Their 20th single, “Tomadoi,” released as a double A-side with “SPECIAL THANKS,” was used as the theme song for the variety show “U-nan no Hontoko! Mirai Nikki.” Although the overall key is high, the actual vocal range is narrow and the melody is relaxed, so if you set it to a key that suits you, it should be easy to sing at karaoke.
It’s a rock tune with a catchy guitar riff that sticks in your head, perfectly matching the vibe of summertime.
Roller Coaster RomanceKinKi Kids
Released in 1998 as Kinki Kids’ third single.
The song, used in the ANA ’98 Paradise Okinawa campaign commercial featuring Tsuyoshi Domoto and Koichi Domoto, has lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto and music by Tatsuro Yamashita.
It topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and became a million seller—a quintessential Johnny’s-style summer song.
