Ryokuoushoku Shakai is a four-member co-ed rock band that’s expanding its fanbase with powerful high-tone vocals and songs brimming with fresh pop sensibility.

Their 7th single, “Summertime Cinderella,” was written as the theme song for the TV drama “Midsummer Cinderella.” The arrangement moves from a sentimental intro featuring piano and strings into a light, breezy A-melody, making you feel refreshed just by listening.

True to its title, the summer-evoking lyrics convey the arrival of the hot season, delivering a refreshing, upbeat tune.

Their 2010 release “Ponytail to Shushu” is so famous it’s practically a karaoke standard.

The format where the same melody follows after the main melody makes it great for splitting parts and singing with two or more people.

With its catchy melody and danceable, up-tempo vibe, it’s perfect for livening up the mood!

A Perfect SkyBONNIE PINK

BONNIE PINK – A Perfect Sky

A great summer song that’ll make you want to sing coolly at karaoke is BONNIE PINK’s “A Perfect Sky.” Released in 2006, it drew attention when it was featured as the song for Shiseido’s “ANESSA” commercial starring Yuri Ebihara.

With its smooth, pleasant English lyrics, many people probably found themselves copying and singing along.

The lyrics evoke a cool, no-nonsense woman—refreshing like summer—and I especially recommend it to women who aspire to be that way.

Like when we first metEvery Little Thing

"Like When We First Met" MUSIC VIDEO / Every Little Thing

Every Little Thing has firmly established an image as a duo, but did you know they originally started as a trio? The current lineup took shape when their leader, Mitsuru Igarashi—who handled songwriting and composition—shifted to working behind the scenes.

One of the pair’s early signature songs is “Deatta Koro no You ni” (“Like When We First Met”).

As the story goes, Avex’s Katsuhito Uramatsu said vocalist Kaori Mochida’s voice “felt like ZARD,” and true to that, Mochida’s clear, translucent vocals leave a strong impression.

The lyrics, which express a desire to “always hold on to the feelings from when we first met,” give the song a refreshing, summery vibe.

It’s a particularly great recommendation for anyone who hasn’t listened to Every Little Thing in depth.
