CAROLS, released by Ayumi Hamasaki in 2004, is a winter song known for its catchy chorus you won’t forget after hearing it once.

Among her songs, it features relatively many high notes, but its relaxed tempo keeps it from being too difficult.

By the way, the title is pronounced “Carols.” A carol means a celebratory song, so it’s a perfect choice for karaoke gatherings to celebrate something special.

Ayumi Hamasaki’s “Summer diary” is a song about the bittersweet feelings of wanting to stay together with someone even after summer ends, yet realizing you can’t.

It’s included on the mini-album “sixxxxxx,” released in 2015.

While sensing the changing seasons and the shifting relationship between the two, the song expresses a strong wish to stay together until the very end.

But since they ultimately can’t be together, they carefully write down the beautiful memories they made in a diary so they won’t be forgotten.

It’s a diary that, truthfully, they wanted to fill with many more joyful memories they would create together from now on.

Why not write down your own summer love you never want to forget in a diary, too?
