STAYJO1
The song I want you to listen to when you head to the seaside or the beach is “STAY.” It’s included on JO1’s 2022 album “KIZUNA,” by the boy group formed from the audition show PRODUCE 101 JAPAN.
The sparkling synths laid over a funky beat ring out refreshingly, and their cool, tightly packed choral work is sure to set your heart ablaze.
It’s an energetic track that amplifies the excitement of summer.
Be sure to give this dance number a listen—it’s perfect for spending your day off with a smile.
Super SummerNiziU
When it comes to summer songs that make you long for the arrival of summer vacation, “Super Summer” tops the list.
Released in 2021 by the hugely popular girls’ group NiziU—beloved especially by elementary and middle school students—the track was also featured in Coca-Cola’s “This Moment Is Me” Summer commercial, so some of you may already know it.
Its irresistibly danceable tropical sound leaves a strong impression, and the members’ vocals, unfolding in a girly world, are absolutely cute.
It’s a dance number that gets your heart racing as you imagine fun events.
Why not give it a listen as the perfect companion for making memories with friends and family?
HenceforthOrangestar feat. IA
For elementary school students who love Vocaloid songs, I highly recommend Orangestar’s track “Henceforth.” Orangestar is a Vocaloid producer who also works under the name Mikansei-P.
I’m sure elementary schoolers know his famous song “Asu no Yozora Shoukaihan”! “Henceforth,” released in May 2020, is a perfect summer tune.
The MV illustrations are by M.B, and the guitar is by Luan.
It’s a bittersweet yet refreshing summer song that carries the message of walking through the summer alone after parting ways with you.
SurgesOrangestar (feat. Natsuse & Ruwan)
When it comes to summer songs that elementary school kids who love Vocaloid and anime songs should hear, “Surges” is the one.
Created in 2021 by Vocaloid producer Orangestar, known for signature tracks like “Asu no Yozora Shoukaihan,” it brilliantly pairs energetic, youth-themed lyrics with refreshing piano sounds.
The driving, fast-paced sound will make you want to take off running.
It’s a perfect track for elementary schoolers with jam-packed summer schedules—homework, outings, and more.
Be sure to give it a listen when you’re heading into any sweat-inducing activity.
Starlight ParadeSEKAI NO OWARI
A song by SEKAI NO OWARI brimming with a sense of fantasy.
The lyrics and sound, which are sure to resonate with a childlike heart, are truly exciting to listen to.
It’s also a perfect track for summer memories and events.
You and the summer music festivalSHISHAMO
SHISHAMO’s “Kimi to Natsu Fes” is a song that sings of overflowing love and the excitement of summer festivals.
Released in 2014 as their first single, it’s an energetic, fast-paced rock tune.
The inner voice of a girl who, at a summer festival with her brand-new boyfriend, throws herself into enjoying her favorite artist’s set feels so fresh and innocent! During summer vacation there are tons of events, not just festivals but also fireworks displays and summer fairs.
Why not invite someone you’re interested in and head out together?
August NightSilent Siren
SILENT SIREN, the girls’ band beloved by younger generations and nicknamed “Saisai,” is hugely popular.
Among their signature songs, one that even elementary school kids love is August Night.
