The creator team supercell released their debut single “Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari” in 2009.

The song was used as the ending theme for the anime Bakemonogatari.

As you follow the lyrics, the world evoked—of a summer night sky filled with stars that seems to spread behind your eyes—gradually swells in intensity.

A masterpiece covered by many artists, it doesn’t feel dated and has become a summer staple.

Bursting open in the chorus with a sense of grandeur, it’s a perfect choice for summer karaoke.

The song chosen as the 2021 support anthem for the National High School Baseball Championship, a classic symbol of summer, was Naniwa Danshi’s “Yume Watashi.” It was included in the regular edition of their first single, “Ubu Love,” released in 2021, but when it was selected as the support song, it hadn’t yet been put on CD, making it the first support song by an artist who hadn’t debuted.

Since there are surely people who love high school baseball and watch it every year without fail, singing it at karaoke is sure to get everyone hyped!

Yuzu, the folk duo that made their major debut in 1998 with the mini-album “Yuzuman.” Their song “Natsuhayate” is a special track created in 2018 as the “ABC Summer High School Baseball Cheer Song” by Asahi Broadcasting to commemorate the 100th National High School Baseball Championship.

It’s a passionate song that evokes the image of a hot summer field, so wouldn’t it be perfect to sing at karaoke in July, right before Koshien, to get everyone pumped up?

Inner Journey is a rock band led by Sara Kamoshita, whose vocals carry a nostalgic charm.

A perfect recommendation from their catalog for July is “Petrichor.” The title refers to the smell that rises from the ground after rain.

Released in 2021 as their fifth single, it’s also included on the EP “Kaze no Nioi” (Scent of the Wind) from the same year.

The lyrics, which recall a relationship that began in July, are poignant and emotional.

If you happen to go through a breakup in July, try singing it at karaoke with friends to clear your head!
