[2026] Songs I want to sing at karaoke in June: classic rain-themed songs and other masterpieces (71–80)
Memories are beautifulAimer
Singer-songwriter Aimer is known for her distinctive smoky voice and powerful expressiveness.
Her 15th single, “Omoi de wa Kirei de,” released as a triple A-side along with “Black Bird” and “Tiny Dancers,” is also included on her fifth album, “Penny Rain,” which was created around the theme of rain.
The lyrics tell a story of memories with her father, making it a perfect song for June, when Father’s Day takes place.
With an ensemble featuring strings and a wistful vocal that resonates deeply, it’s an emotional number.
June brideZa Pīnattsu
The Peanuts are a duo from Aichi Prefecture, consisting of sisters Emi Ito (older) and Yumi Ito (younger).
They have many songs featuring beautiful two-person harmonies.
Among them, June Bride, released in 1964, is a perfect song for June with its lovely melody.
Wrapped in the festive atmosphere of a wedding, this song is sure to brighten your mood just by listening.
And if two women perform it as a duet, it will make you feel even more positive!
UFOpinku redii
This song, released in 1977 by Pink Lady, the female idol duo that produced numerous hits from the late 1970s through the 1980s, was created by the golden duo of lyricist Yū Aku and composer Shunichi Tokura.
Their innovative choreography shines in this track as well—the “UFO” pose in the intro is something everyone remembers imitating.
The song itself is, of course, excellent, but when it comes to Pink Lady, it’s ultimately the choreography that truly defines them.
A midsummer passing showerUtada Hikaru
Speaking of June, it’s the rainy season with lots of precipitation.
Hikaru Utada’s “Manatsu no Toori Ame” (A Passing Summer Shower) is a ballad that perfectly suits this time of year.
It’s a very famous song, so I’m sure many of you know it.
It’s definitely a ballad you’ll want to try singing at karaoke in this early-summer season.
Rainy Moondōyō
This children’s song, “Amefuri Otsukisan” (The Moon in the Rain), likens the moon to a bride, and there are said to be two interpretations of its lyrics.
One is that Ujō Noguchi, who wrote the lyrics, composed it to show compassion for his wife, who rode on horseback in the rain and took two days to come to him as a bride—an interpretation that reflects the customs of the time when the song was written.
The other is that it was written about Noguchi’s daughter, who passed away at a young age—perhaps expressing a father’s feelings as he imagines his daughter reaching marrying age and becoming a bride.
Although the melody is sorrowful, just reading the lyrics alone is enough to make one’s heart ache.
After RainAimer
Aimer’s “After Rain” features a refreshing melody that feels like it sweeps away the gloomy rainy season and brings clear skies.
It’s included on the mini-album “After Dark,” released in 2013.
Life is full of overcast days like rain—breakups, failures at work, and more.
But if you listen to this song, tomorrow will surely feel bright and clear, and you’ll become a new you who can turn even painful experiences into strength! If you’re fed up with the constant rain, or if something unpleasant or sad has happened, sing this song and refresh yourself—be reborn as a brand-new you!
In the night sky after the rainRC sakuseshon
A song by RC Succession, the band led by legendary rocker Kiyoshiro Imawano.
Despite being a famous track almost everyone has heard, it’s characterized by its simple performance, and since its 1980 release it has not only been covered by many musicians but has also become a staple in jam sessions.
The lyrics, which convey both a bond with a beloved car ruined by the rain and a sense of sensuality, linger in many listeners’ ears—so much so that on rainy days, this song probably echoes in many people’s minds.
It’s a number perfect for June, when it rains a lot—one that everyone can sing together at karaoke to liven things up and blow away the gloomy mood.
