THE YELLOW MONKEY – Tropical Night

A string of stiflingly hot tropical nights.

That’s the theme of the love song “Nettaiya.” This track was created by THE YELLOW MONKEY.

It draws a parallel between the heat of a tropical night and the rising passion between two people.

Coupled with its intense rock sound, singing it might just blow the heat away.

The lyrics repeat memorable phrases, making it perfect for times when you want everyone to join in and get hyped.

It also seems great for adding handclaps or a tambourine.

Surfside, at this pointTUBE

When you think of TUBE, energetic summer songs like Season in the Sun (1986) and A Natsuyasumi (1990) come to mind.

By contrast, 2015’s Imasara Surfside is a more relaxed, mid-tempo summer tune that’s a bit different from those tracks.

Notably, the lyrics make abundant use of TUBE’s signature techniques—subtle rhymes in the chorus and playful wordplay.

If you sing it with those rhymes in mind, it’s sure to fire up the room at karaoke!

Some people may be anxious about the future or feel as if they’re about to be overwhelmed by hardships.

For those people, I recommend “Tomoni.” It’s a song by the rock band WANIMA and is also well-loved as the theme song for the Kumamoto Earthquake recovery project.

Rather than simply pushing listeners forward, the lyrics—true to the title—carry a tone that invites us to move ahead together.

Singing it will likely soothe listeners with its warm message.

The song chosen as the theme for the anime GAMERA -Rebirth-, which was released worldwide on Netflix in September 2023, is WANIMA’s “Natsugyō.” The title means “summer dawn,” and it’s a powerful, fast-paced track that really captures the group’s signature style.

It’s also included on their October 2023 album Catch Up.

GAMERA -Rebirth- is the first animated entry in the series.

WANIMA also handled the ending theme, so be sure to check it out!

Starting Over has been gaining support as a motivational song.

It’s a track by the rock band sumika, created as the opening theme for the anime MIX MEISEI STORY: A Summer of Second Chances, Beyond the Sky.

It passionately portrays the feelings of the baseball club’s protagonist as he enters his second summer.

With lyrics that powerfully push you forward, it’s easy to relate to whether you’ve seen the anime or not.

Its refreshing, summer-perfect sound is another part of its appeal.
