It’s a classic that carries the sparkle of summer’s arrival and the thrill of a budding romance.

Just listening to it makes your heart skip and gives you the urge to dash off somewhere, doesn’t it? Released in April 1981 as Seiko Matsuda’s fifth single, this track is also included on the acclaimed album “Silhouette.” Its hope-filled lyrics and Seiko’s endlessly soaring high notes blend perfectly, as if gently giving listeners a push forward.

It was also featured at the time in a Shiseido “Ekubo” commercial, enchanting many with her voice.

Isn’t it just perfect for opening the door to a new season or when you want to refresh your mood?

Natsu LoveJuliet

Juliet is a female vocal duo.

They gained popularity during the heyday of the so-called ‘shiro-gyaru’ trend, with lyrics that voiced the feelings of gyaru at the time.

Many women in their mid-30s today were shiro-gyaru themselves, so the group likely left a strong impression.

Natsu Love is one of Juliet’s signature songs.

Falsetto appears toward the end of the chorus, and there are many rap-like phrases, but aside from the falsetto parts the pitch movement is quite simple.

So if you can use head voice comfortably, you should have no trouble aiming for a high score.

Released in June 1994, it has been loved by many listeners as one of TUBE’s signature songs.

With its refreshing melody and heartwarming lyrics, it’s recommended for anyone who wants to bask in summer memories.

You made me cry, you bastard.Kobayashi Sachiko

The striking song title “Nakaseyayagatte Kono Yarō” marks the first time the renowned lyricist Tetsurō Hoshino—who would later team up with Sachiko Kobayashi on masterpieces like “Yuki Tsubaki”—participated in one of her singles.

Released in 1982, it’s a title whose meaning you’ll want to confirm by reading the lyrics.

Asei Kobayashi’s melody is simple and memorable; though it’s enka, it carries a kayōkyoku flavor that should make it feel approachable even for beginners.

Practice repeatedly to create clear contrast between low and high notes, and work on producing a natural vibrato at the end of the chorus.
