I can see you againKetsumeishi
This song portrays a reunion with a woman who has grown beautifully, coinciding with the arrival of summer.
The track progresses with a calm atmosphere, and the guitar tones—accentuating a refreshing feel—give the impression of expressing the clear, bright air of summer.
Released in June 2007, the song was also featured in a Shiseido ANESSA commercial.
The music video was filmed in Onjuku, Chiba Prefecture, and it’s said that it was the first time in a while that a performance scene featuring many members was shot.
The lyrics vividly evoke scenes of the summer seaside, making it perfect as background music for a drive.
It also seems like a song that, when sung at karaoke, can bring a fresh feeling as you look back on summer memories.
Ephemeral FireworksKami wa saikoro o furanai
While God does not roll dice, He plays a melody—this song feels like a murmur of summer memories and the emotions that live within them.
The vocals, squeezed out as if expressing inner torment, leave a strong impression.
It depicts the fragility of love, portraying the suffering that comes with looking back on the passion of a summer fling.
The quiet, piano-infused soundscape is also striking, seeming to amplify the aching emotions embedded in the singing.
As the arrangement gradually gains momentum, it feels like an outpouring of painful feelings, making it a track that tightens the chest.
Shadows of SummerMrs. GREEN APPLE
It’s a single released on August 11, 2025, and it’s featured as the theme song for Kirin’s “Gogo no Kocha” commercial.
Among Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s songs, this one doesn’t have many characteristic high notes and is mainly sung in the low-mid to mid-high range, so it’s very easy for men to sing! The relaxed tempo also helps—if you keep time with your hand while singing, you’ll avoid rushing the rhythm and it will be easier to lock into the melody.
Also, the chorus starts on E3, which can be a bit tricky to pitch at first, so make sure to lift your facial muscles before singing.
Then take a good breath and start phonating slowly as if placing the sound in front of your vocal cords.
This way, the resonance won’t fall into your throat and you’ll maintain phonation from the vocal cords, making the whole song easier to sing! Give it a try with that in mind!
Summer-colored FireworksSnow Man
“Natsuiro Hanabi” is sung alternately by the nine members of Snow Man with no overlapping parts, so it’s very easy to sing solo.
It’s a medium-tempo ballad that lets you breathe comfortably and sing with ease.
It’s highly recommended for those who want to sing at a relaxed tempo and feel good doing it.
The vocal range mainly sits around mid1 to mid2, so even if high notes aren’t your strength, you can sing it with confidence.
Ballads can be tricky to add dynamics to, and some people may end up singing them somewhat flatly.
In such cases, putting clear accents on slightly higher notes or at the beginnings of phrases will help create more contrast.
In “Natsuiro Hanabi,” the C-melody is the biggest highlight, so sing it with the feeling of projecting your voice far into the distance and enjoy yourself!
