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.

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.

This song, written as the theme for the smash-hit animated film “Your Name.” featuring voice actors Ryunosuke Kamiki and Mone Kamishiraishi, became a huge hit just like the movie.

While it’s great for women, the lyrics are written from a male perspective, making it easy for men to sing as well.

With its refreshing, summery feel, it’s the perfect track to sing at karaoke.

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?
