Songs with titles starting with 'Na'. A hint for shiritori! (311–320)
Sound of SummerGReeeeN
This song is a refreshing youth anthem that seeps into the heart along with the cool summer breeze.
Its depiction of budding romance, layered with the image of fireworks blooming in the night sky, is striking—just listening to it can bring back summer memories.
Released in June 2015, it was also used as the campaign song for Kirin’s Namacha.
The music video features the Namacha Panda, unfolding a one-summer love story through a puppet show.
On your way to a summer festival or fireworks display, listening to this song with a fluttering heart will surely turn the moment into a special memory! For elementary school students, too, it’s a tune that will let you look back as an adult and fondly say, “Back then….” Why not etch a lovely summer page in your life together with this song?
Akane-chan who will do whatever you sayGYARI
“Akane-chan Who Will Do Anything You Say” is a song by the Vocaloid producer GYARI, released in December 2017.
It’s a work where the contrast between Kotonoha Akane’s interjections and Yuzuki Yukari’s passionate monologue is exquisite.
I can’t help but laugh at that vibe of half-listening to a friend’s story.
GYARI’s ability to turn this worldview into music is truly impressive.
If you’re looking for a Vocaloid track that’ll make you laugh, definitely check it out.
summer skyGalileo Galilei
A summer song by the hugely popular rock band Galileo Galilei that captures the glow of youth.
Yuki Ozaki’s plain-spoken, earnest vocals beautifully express the bittersweetness of summer’s end and the anticipation of new beginnings.
Released in June 2010, the track was also used as the opening theme for the anime Big Windup! The Summer Tournament Arc.
With its dreamy guitar sound and pulsing bassline, it’s perfect as background music for summer drives and outdoor trips—and it’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped when you’re hanging out with friends of the same generation.
Can’t Say Anything ~WINTER VERSION~THE JAYWALK
Many of you probably know J-WALK’s signature hit “Nani mo Ienakute… Natsu,” released in 1991, but did you know there’s a winter version as well? This winter rendition beautifully blends regret over lost love with the harsh atmosphere of the season.
Featuring an acoustic arrangement, it’s characterized by a warm sound that draws out the feelings of winter.
The sense of helplessness in only being able to say “Merry Christmas” on Christmas night is particularly striking.
It’s recommended not only for those troubled by love, but also for anyone who wants to listen quietly to music on a winter night.
Savor this moving winter classic packed with J-WALK’s appeal.
Nagagutsu BoyJIJIM
JIJIM is a six-member band from the Kanto region.
They’re fairly underground, but within the scene they’re getting attention for their stylish songs.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend as being easy to sing is “Nagagutsu Boy.” It’s built mostly around the mid-to-high range, so there are plenty of higher parts, but the overall range isn’t wide; if you can hit moderately high notes, you should be able to sing it without trouble.
If you like city pop-style tunes, this is a must-listen!

This is the fourth single by JITTERIN’JINN, a three-member band from Nara Prefecture that produced several hits in the early 1990s.
It’s a poppy, energetic number with lyrics that vividly depict the scenes of a summer festival.
The song reached No.
3 on the Oricon charts and became especially popular during the summer season.
Its lyrics, which capture the bittersweet, fleeting feelings of youth, resonate with many listeners.
It was also featured in a commercial for SANKYO’s pachinko machine “Fever Dai Natsu Matsuri,” boosting its recognition even further.
It’s a gem of a summer song that evokes a nostalgic mood when listened to in August, as summer draws to a close.
Tears, softly.JamsCollection
A lyrical number that portrays a fleeting first love.
It captures a girl’s gently swaying emotions, blending lingering attachment to past memories with the resolve to move forward.
