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

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.

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.

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.

A song by Ikimono-gakari that evokes the freshness of summer.

It was released digitally in March 2024, and in July the CD came out as a double A-side single with “Harebare!”.

Created as the theme song for Asahi Soft Drinks’ Mitsuya Cider, it’s also featured in their commercials.

Its lyrics, centered on youth and hope, resonate with listeners.

With a catchy melody and a bright vibe, it’s perfect for getting the crowd going at karaoke.

Even first-timers can enjoy singing it with friends.

How about adding it to your summer memories by giving it a try?

All of the YouthFujifaburikku

When it comes to summer songs, many people imagine flashy tunes that everyone can get hyped to, but I bet there are also plenty who prefer something more bittersweet.

For those of you looking for that kind of track, I recommend Fujifabric’s “Wakamono no Subete.” It’s a song wrapped in the nostalgia of late summer, and it’s the kind of track that can spark lively conversations about old memories.
