beetle (specifically, a rhinoceros beetle)aiko

When it comes to summer songs by Aiko, the singer-songwriter from Osaka, it has to be Kabutomushi.

Her voice, which conveys both gentleness and strength, is truly wonderful.

The lyrics, which describe being drawn to a loved one’s indescribable aura and liken oneself to a rhinoceros beetle, distill a faint, bittersweet maiden’s heart into something rich and poignant.

Whether you’re in love right now or your romance is a distant memory, I hope you’ll sing it while savoring the lyrics!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!Androp

The rock band androp has been steadily gaining popularity since their 2011 debut album, “anew.” Their 2015 release “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!” was also featured in a commercial for the soda Mitsuya Cider, and it’s an irresistibly refreshing track that pops and fizzes just like a sparkling cider.

With an upbeat groove that makes your body move as you sing along, this is a must-play—especially when you want to hype up a crowd!

Back Number – Hanako-san on a High Pedestal
Ms. Hanako on a high pedestalback number

When it comes to back number’s summer unrequited love songs, “Takane no Hanako-san” is the one.

As the title suggests, the person he falls for is a flower on a high peak—completely out of reach.

The song portrays a man’s feelings as he half-gives up on making such an unattainable woman notice him, yet still harbors a faint hope somewhere in his heart.

Unlike many unrequited love songs that are ballads, this one is upbeat.

It’s a karaoke crowd-pleaser and popular with both men and women.

If you’re heading to karaoke in the summer, make sure to master this track!

Odol is an alternative rock band formed in 2014.

Their track “Kazaritsugiteita,” included on their debut album Odol, is a perfect number for July, when the rainy season ends and the sweltering heat sets in.

The sound, which blends raw electric guitar with delicate piano tones, conveys a distinctly well-defined world of its own.

I think it’s an ideal pick for expressing individuality—how about adding it to your karaoke repertoire?
