Summer Colorsyuzu
Yuzu is a musical duo consisting of Yujin Kitagawa and Koji Iwasawa—at this point, a group everyone knows.
Their debut single “Natsu Iro” has become a classic summer song.
With its exhilarating pace, it’s perfect for karaoke or as a companion on a drive.
When you sing it at karaoke, it’s also fun to have friends or family play the tambourine.
By the way, the hill that appears in the lyrics is said to be modeled after the one in front of Kitagawa’s family home.
Ghost of the SeaYonezu Kenshi
“Spirits of the Sea” is a ballad that evokes the end of summer.
It was written as the theme song for the animated film Children of the Sea.
The music video uses animation throughout and is truly captivating.
Kenshi Yonezu, who created the song, is a fan of the original manga of the same name and reportedly requested the collaboration himself.
Since it’s a quiet track, it’s perfect for listening to slowly on a summer night.
If you’re good with high notes, it’s also great for singing gently at karaoke.
End of SummerShimizu Shota
This song is a lovely ballad that captures the unique loneliness everyone feels at least once at the end of summer.
Its bittersweet yet beautiful melody seeps deep into the heart, evoking memories of a summer romance that ended too soon and a nostalgia too delicate to put into words.
Shota Shimizu’s soulful, sometimes fragile vocals bring that scene to life with even greater clarity.
The track appears on Shota Shimizu’s fifth album, ENCORE, released in March 2014.
It’s perfect for listening alone on a late summer night.
Summer MemoriesKetsumeishi
A summer song by Ketsumeishi, a group that’s always mentioned when talking about summer.
It’s a track you’ll want to hear at a summer festival, waving your hands along with everyone.
The lyrics look back on various summer memories.
No matter when, once summer comes, you can remember that summer again.
It feels a bit bittersweet, yet the lyrics also carry a positive vibe.
Summer memories aren’t just things that remain—they’re things you choose to keep.
That’s deep.
StarmineDa-iCE
An energetic, firework-themed track by Da-iCE! Released as a digital-only single in August 2022, it became a major sensation, surpassing 600 million views on TikTok.
The music video on YouTube reached 10 million views faster than any other Da-iCE video, and the song was selected for the Excellent Work Award at the 64th Japan Record Awards.
It’s an uplifting summer tune, perfect for anyone wanting to soak up the summer festival vibe!
Nagisasupittsu
“Nagisa” is a signature song by Spitz, one of Japan’s most iconic rock bands.
For many people, it’s a tune that comes to mind when they head to the beach in summer.
In those moments, I think a lot of us picture not a crowded swimming beach but a deserted shoreline.
That’s actually by design: Masamune Kusano, the band’s vocalist, has said he wrote the song while imagining a mystical landscape rather than a tourist spot.
Although the track itself has a slow tempo, its accents are a bit quirky, so you might need a little practice before singing it at karaoke.
It’s a male-vocal song, but the key is slightly high, making it great to sing together with women, too!
All of the YouthFujifaburikku
Fujifabric is a three-piece rock band that continues to captivate fans with lyrics that vividly evoke scenes and lyrical songs that color them.
Their tenth single, “Wakamono no Subete,” which was also used in 2022 as the ending theme for the information-variety show “Ariyoshi eeeee! Soda! Ima kara Omaenchide Game Shinai?” has become a timeless summer classic loved across generations.
Its arrangement, suffused with a sentimental atmosphere of summer drawing to a close, likely pulls listeners of any age into its world.
It’s an immortal masterpiece overflowing with the wistful melancholy of a summer that is more than just heat.
