Dream Deliverynaniwa danshi
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!
Innocent SeasonGesu no Kiwami Otome.
Formed around keyboardist and vocalist Enon Kawatani, Gesu no Kiwami Otome released “Muku na Kisetsu” in 2015 as the follow-up to their hit “Romance ga Arimamaru.” It’s a track that conveys the bittersweet feeling of summer’s end with an intense arrangement.
While it naturally fits the moment when summer is ending, it also feels perfect to sing around July, when summer is just beginning.
The bassline is killer, so it’s highly recommended for those who love low-end sounds!
Summer RainKobukuro
In early July, there are often days when the lingering rainy season brings showers despite the heat.
On days like that, how about listening to “Summer rain,” released in 2009? It’s an emotional track by the folk duo Kobukuro, who made their major debut in 2001 with their first single “YELL ~Eru~/Bell.” Its catchy, memorable melody seems perfect for karaoke.
If you’re up for it, try taking on the harmony parts too!
Summer BreezeGosuperāzu
This song, powerfully sung by The Gospellers, evokes the clear summer scenery and refreshing air.
It’s included on the EP “HERE & NOW,” which is composed of songs provided by artists connected to The Gospellers.
Written by Shintaro Namioka and Maho Oshima of Penthouse, it features a calm rhythm that resonates to your core and a bright melodic line that leaves a strong impression.
Precisely because of its gentle sound, the vocals are brought to the fore, conveying the freshness of summer through beautiful harmonies.
Bon-giri Love SongSazan Ōrusutāzu
Southern All Stars have released countless classic summer songs over the years.
In 2023, they unveiled a track with a completely different vibe from their previous work: “Bongiri Koi-uta.” It features a sound infused with elements of traditional folk music, letting you fully feel the atmosphere of a Japanese summer.
Another highlight is the array of creative touches woven throughout the song.
I hope you’ll listen closely and savor both its bittersweetness and its playful charm.
By the way, in the music video the members perform on a bon-odori festival tower, which adds a wonderfully summery touch.

Supernovamakaroni enpitsu
Macaroni Enpitsu, a rock band affectionately known as “Makaen,” has produced hits like “Koibito Gokko” and “Ikiru o Suru.” Their song “Supernova” is a mid-tempo, summery pop-rock tune.
Hattori’s vocal melodies are generally on the higher side, so it’s recommended for those confident in their high range.
The keyboard solo by Daiki Hasegawa in the middle—a rarity in pop—really showcases their musicality and is fantastic.
Be sure to focus on that part when you sing it!
Stars swimmakaroni enpitsu
This moving song portrays the feelings of a protagonist who defies fate, centered on themes of summer’s restlessness and the fragility of destiny.
Its fleeting beauty—like fireworks racing across the sky as if stars were swimming—leaves a strong impression, and the lyrics, evoking loss, parting, and the resolve to embark on a new journey, are quintessential Macaroni Enpitsu.
Released in April 2022, the track was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime “Summer Time Rendering” and was later included on the album “Tama-shii no Ibasho” (Where the Soul Belongs).
With powerful instrumentation and an exhilarating melodic line, it’s perfect for belting out at karaoke and is highly recommended for those who want to sing their hearts out.
