A single by the female idol group AKB48 that built such widespread name recognition that even listeners unfamiliar with idols know it—this is their 16th major release.

It has numerous tie-ins, starting with serving as the ending theme for the variety show “Naruhodo! High School,” as well as being used in commercials.

Despite its driving arrangement, the key is low and the melody is relaxed, making it comfortable to sing.

It’s a summer song that symbolizes AKB48’s golden era and gets even more exciting when you sing it with friends.

AKB48 is a girls’ group that embodies the concept of “idols you can go meet,” symbolizing the idol scene since the 2000s.

Their 26th major single, “Manatsu no Sounds good!” is a refreshing summer tune with multiple tie-ins, including serving as the theme song for an NTT docomo commercial.

While the overall vocal range is narrow and the melody sits relaxed against the ensemble, the melodic movement is frequent, making it easy to go off pitch—so take care.

It’s a summer number that livens things up and is perfect for everyone to sing together at karaoke.

This is the debut digital single by NiziU, a nine-member girl group formed from the top-ranking finalists of a Japan–Korea joint global audition project that drew attention across Japan.

The track was featured as the commercial song for Coca-Cola’s “This Moment Is Me” Summer edition.

Its brisk dance beat and cute vocals really lift your spirits.

Although the fast-tempo melody blends Japanese and English, it has few large pitch jumps, making it easy to sing at karaoke.

However, since it was originally performed by multiple members, breathing can be tricky when singing solo; it’s recommended to sing it with friends for a more comfortable and enjoyable performance.

Summer songs are often upbeat tracks that really hype you up.

But sometimes, you’re in the mood to sing something more gentle, right? In those moments, I recommend Leo Ieiri’s “Kimi ga Kureta Natsu.” It’s a ballad that portrays a romance coming to an end along with the end of summer.

It has a cool, fleeting atmosphere.

The overall pace is slow and calm, so even those who struggle with powerful, high-energy songs can sing it.

Plus, it was the theme song for the summer drama “Koinaka,” so it’s sure to spark conversation after you sing it!
