Songs With Titles Starting With “O” [Great for Karaoke & Shiritori Too!] (351–360)
Endless SummerGanaha Mina
A true youth anthem that moved so many as the opening theme of TV Asahi’s “Netto Koshien” in the summer of 2002.
Mina Ganaha’s clear yet powerful vocals mirror the single-minded dedication of the ballplayers chasing the white ball, stirring the hearts of listeners.
Behind this song lies a dramatic real-life moment: Ganaha’s own younger brother hit a pinch-hit home run at the Spring Koshien in 2001, and that inspiration became a major driving force in creating the track.
Released in July 2002, it was later included on the album “momentum” and the best-of collection “Shoshin Wasurubekarazu.” It’s a cheer song for everyone chasing their dreams—and for you who want to feel the brilliance of that summer once again.
Please! SeñoritaORANGE RANGE
This is a summer-soaked track created by ORANGE RANGE, the rock band from Okinawa.
It vividly portrays a burning, uncontainable passion directed at a single señorita, and the rising heat of heart and body as they dance together.
Released in June 2005 as their 11th single, the song is also included on the album “ИATURAL,” and it became well-known as the CM song for Otsuka Beverage’s MATCH.
It was also the last single to feature early member KATCHAN.
For many, it’s the first song that comes to mind when they want to boost the mood on a summer drive.
give a parting giftShishido
This piece blends a floating, airy sound with Kagamine Rin’s transparent vocals.
It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Shishido, released in May 2025.
As you keep acting “normal,” your true self begins to rot away… The song captures that delicate emotional wavering with languid sonics and lyrics.
Thanks to its raw monologue, I can’t help but listen as if it were about me.
I hope you’ll play it on nights when you want something to sit gently with your loneliness.

Men’s Festival SongFukuda Kouhei
The sound of the taiko drums resonates pleasantly—it’s a song by Kohei Fukuda that seems to turn the vibrant spirit of a festival directly into sound.

It’s a little wistful, yet it leaves you with a warm feeling.
The fresh harmonies of The Wild Ones are wonderful, too! This piece was released in November 1966 as their debut single, and it became a classic loved by many, selling over a million copies.
The B-side featured a song called “Your Baby.” It also served as the theme song for the film “Omoide no Nagisa” and for the TV drama “Shitetsu Ensen 97 Bunsho.” Why not give it a listen on a summer day to cool off, or when you want to sink into cherished memories?
