Every year, summer brings sweltering heat.

While outdoor fun at the beach or in the mountains is great, many people would rather relax in a cool indoor space.

One of the best go-to options for that is karaoke!

Why not sing some summer tunes and get into the seasonal mood—even in a comfortably air-conditioned room?

But when it’s time to sing, those who aren’t confident at karaoke or don’t go very often might struggle to pick songs.

So in this article, we’ll introduce recommended summer songs for karaoke.

From tracks that get everyone hyped together to ones with a laid-back tempo, and more.

We’ve also included songs that are easy to try even if you’re not confident in your singing, so feel free to use this as a guide!

Easy-to-sing summer classics for karaoke: Recommended popular songs [2026] (101–110)

Summer Night TownMōningu Musume.

It was released in 1998 as Morning Musume’s second single.

It was the first release to feature the 2nd-generation members Kei Yasuda, Mari Yaguchi, and Sayaka Ichii, and it reached No.

4 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

The song has a sexy, sultry vibe and was produced by Tsunku.

It was released in 2015 as Nogizaka46’s 12th single.

Rina Ikoma served as the center for the song, which was used as the campaign song for the “Seven-Eleven Fair Nogizaka46.” It’s an upbeat, refreshing summer tune that lets you feel Nogizaka46’s full-of-energy vibe.

NatsuneYuuri

A digital-only single and the seventh major release by male singer-songwriter Yuuri, written specifically for the first episode of the drama “Dry Flower: Room in July,” a cross-story adaptation of the 2021 smash hit “Dry Flower.” The contrast between the wistful vocal-and-piano opening and the lyrical guitar riffs is truly moving.

The overall key is low, making it easy to sing, but be careful not to go off-pitch when the chorus brings in Yuuri’s signature falsetto.

The tempo is relaxed, so it’s also a recommended summer song for those who aren’t very confident at karaoke.

Fireworks MagicAnsako

Singer Ansako, who’s garnering attention for her cute, translucent voice and overflowing pop sensibility.

The title track of her major debut mini-album, “Hanabi no Mahō” (Fireworks Magic), tightens the chest with its depiction of unrequited love set in summer.

Overall, the key is high, but the vocal range itself isn’t wide, so it should be easier to sing at karaoke if you set a key that suits you.

However, the rhythm of the melody in the A verse is tricky to catch, so try to match it while listening closely to the ensemble.

Yeah! Super Holiday!Matsuura Aya

Singer Aya Matsuura, known by the nickname “Ayaya” and sometimes called the last solo idol of the Heisei era.

Her 6th single, “Yeah! Meccha Holiday,” is both one of her signature songs and, for many, strongly associated with comedian Haruna Ai’s routine.

Its catchy melody makes it easy to remember, and the narrow vocal range makes it easy to sing at karaoke.

It’s an upbeat summer tune that’s fun to perform, with idol-like cuteness and comical lyrics.

Classic Summer Songs That Are Easy to Sing at Karaoke: Recommended Hits [2026] (111–120)

ultra soulB’z

There are times when you want to sing and get hyped with friends and family, right? In those moments, I recommend B’z’s “ultra soul.” It’s practically a classic summer anthem that everyone knows.

Since it was used as the theme song for the World Aquatics Championships, many people probably think of this song when they think of summer.

The chorus and the ending are especially perfect for singing together and throwing in call-and-response! Plus, even though it’s an up-tempo track, it doesn’t require high notes, so it’s great for anyone to sing, regardless of gender.

fireworks (launched into the sky)DAOKO × Yonezu Kenshi

DAOKO is a singer who not only performs as a rap singer and hip-hop MC, but also has a side as a novelist.

Uchiage Hanabi, her collaboration with Kenshi Yonezu—who composed the track—became a hot topic and was chosen as the theme song for the animated film Fireworks: Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom? The melody is relaxed, but the pitch moves quite a lot in the chorus, so be careful when singing it at karaoke.

If possible, we recommend splitting the parts with a friend—it’s a pop tune that evokes a fleeting summer scene.
