Little Glee Monster 'The World Is Smiling at You' Short Ver.

A perfect song for an elementary schooler who “can’t wait for summer vacation!” is “Sekai wa Anata ni Waraikaketeiru” (“The World Is Smiling at You”).

Crocodile and ShampooMomoiro Kurōbā Zetto

[Momoclo LIVE] Wani to Shampoo from Momoshinsai 2014–2016 / Momoiro Clover Z

Momoiro Clover Z’s staple summer live track, “Wani to Shampoo.” It’s an upbeat tune that charges in hard right from the start.

A perfect summer song for grade-schoolers, packed with words like summer vacation, watermelon smashing, and homework.
