This song isn’t by Southern All Stars—it’s Keisuke Kuwata’s 2001 single.

As the title suggests, it’s one of those tracks that comes to mind in summer.

When I go to karaoke in the summer, I inevitably look up Southern All Stars, but you should make sure not to forget Kuwata’s songs too.

Many of his tunes are catchy, but his bridges are always unique, and that’s what makes the simple choruses really shine.

This song is no exception.

Summer karaoke starts with this track.

BLUE BIRDHamasaki Ayumi

Ayumi Hamasaki’s song “BLUE BIRD,” which was featured in the Zespri Gold Kiwi commercial, was released in 2006.

In the music video, the blue ocean and sky and a cheerful couple having fun are depicted, giving it a very summery feel.

Many people probably sing it at karaoke when summer comes around.

The song starts off very quietly, but it builds up at the chorus and makes you want to dance.

It’s a fresh, feminine summer tune, so if you’re a woman looking to liven up a karaoke session, give it a try!

Its simple, beautiful melody also makes it perfect for karaoke.
