The End of SummerNaotaro Moriyama
Naotaro Moriyama is a singer-songwriter whose powerful, message-driven lyrics move listeners, and he is the son of Ryoko Moriyama.
Did you know that his third single, “End of Summer,” which was used as the ending theme for the digest documentary program Netsu-to Koshien, is in fact an anti-war song? The song spans a wide vocal range, and the chorus features Moriyama’s trademark falsetto, so adjust the key to suit your voice when singing it at karaoke.
The tempo is quite relaxed, making it a number you can sing while checking the lyrics and pitch.
Summer DayChisato Moritaka
Chisato Moritaka is known as a multi-instrumentalist who plays various instruments, and as a singer-songwriter whose cute looks and singing voice continue to captivate fans.
Her 23rd single, “Natsu no Hi” (“Summer Day”), used as the ending theme for the variety show Asakusabashi Young Yōhinten, features lyrics that evocatively conjure sentimental summer scenes.
Though the melody is simple and relaxed, it spans a wide vocal range, so be mindful of sudden high notes when singing.
With a nostalgic arrangement that resonates emotionally, it’s a track that blends a refreshing feel with a touch of melancholy.
Voice of the SeaUrashima Taro (Kenta Kiritani)
Composed for an au commercial and later a massive hit, “Umi no Koe” brings to mind, for many, that scene of Kenta Kiritani as Urashima Taro singing toward the sea with a shamisen in hand.
The song features a very relaxed tempo and a low key, making it easy to sing.
That said, it’s not just easy—it also surges into the chorus, so it’s a great piece to showcase your vocal ability.
If you want to show that you’re a good singer, definitely give it a try!
You’re my sunshineNamie Amuro
It was released in 1996 as Namie Amuro’s sixth single.
The song was used as the image song for FT Shiseido’s “Sea Breeze ’96” commercial and was produced by Tetsuya Komuro.
It became her fourth consecutive million-selling single, and a re-recorded version was included on her all-time best album “Finally,” released in 2017.
Scatter! Summer peopleYabai T-Shirts Yasan
A summer song released in 2022 by Yabai T-Shirts Yasan, known for their uniquely funny lyrics! It’s packed with relatable “summer clichés” that’ll make you chuckle—whether you’re at a summer festival, chilling at home, or traveling to popular summer destinations like Okinawa.
It’s especially recommended for pumping up the crowd at karaoke.
Barefoot SummerNogizaka46
If you’re looking for a cute summer song—an adorable Nogizaka46 track about young love—I recommend “Hadashi de Summer.” It’s the first song where Asuka Saito served as center, and it was also performed at that year’s NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
The lyrics portray unrequited feelings from a male perspective, but they’re relatable regardless of gender, capturing a sweet, heart-fluttering crush.
It’s a refreshing summer tune with minimal vocal range ups and downs, so it’s easy to sing.
Give it a try when you want to elevate the summer mood.
bewildermentGLAY
GLAY is a four-piece rock band that dominated the 1990s J-pop scene with their catchy melodies and cool rock sound.
Their 20th single, “Tomadoi,” released as a double A-side with “SPECIAL THANKS,” was used as the theme song for the variety show “U-nan no Hontoko! Mirai Nikki.” Although the overall key is high, the actual vocal range is narrow and the melody is relaxed, so if you set it to a key that suits you, it should be easy to sing at karaoke.
It’s a rock tune with a catchy guitar riff that sticks in your head, perfectly matching the vibe of summertime.
