Somewhere in the summerWANIMA
This is the one song I absolutely want you to sing when you want to cut loose! A lot of people probably know it because it was also used in Asahi Soft Drinks’ “Mitsuya Cider” TV commercial.
Beneath lyrics like “I got my heart broken, but I’m dedicating this song to you,” it almost feels like there’s the sentiment that “summer is the season that makes us stronger.” Give it a listen when you’re feeling down—it’ll definitely lift your spirits! And be sure to enjoy the music video too, which seems to evoke the members’ childhoods.
SUMMER SONGYUI
Let me introduce “SUMMER SONG,” a track distinguished by its acoustic guitar.
It’s sung by YUI, and the lyrics depict the time just before summer begins.
Because of that, they build a sense of anticipation for the season ahead.
In the latter half, the song shifts to a student’s perspective, portraying unrequited love, so it’s also recommended if you’re looking for something bittersweet or youth-themed.
If you put extra energy into the climactic part in the second half, you’ll likely be able to sing it well.
Summer made me do itnever young beach
If you want to enjoy a laid-back vacation, I recommend “Natsu ga Sou Saseta” by never young beach! never young beach, often called “Nebayan,” is a surf rock band known for its easygoing, warm sound in the best way.
“Natsu ga Sou Saseta” is a summer song packed with Nebayan’s charm, and if you let yourself sink into the rhythm, you’re sure to unwind.
Summer tunes are often loud and high-energy, right? “Natsu ga Sou Saseta” is perfect for cooling down after a streak of intense karaoke songs, so definitely add it to your repertoire!
IdentitySakanaction
This is the third single by Sakanaction, a Japanese alternative rock band formed in 2005, and it was used on TV programs such as Nakai no Mado and Oja Map.
It opens with a summery, passionate percussion sound, and it’s striking how it jumps straight into the chorus melody.
Funky guitar cutting woven throughout and a soulful bass create the song’s groove.
Ichiro Yamaguchi’s high-toned vocals—he’s the band’s singer and guitarist—sound like the roar of a man searching for his identity, making it a track that will truly resonate if you can sing it well at karaoke.

Summer DreamVickeblanka
If you like Shibuya-kei sounds and want a summer song recommendation, how about “Natsu no Yume” sung by Vicke Blanka? He’s a singer-songwriter from Aichi known for his captivating high tones.
“Natsu no Yume,” released in 2018 as his second single, features a stylish sound where a bouncing rhythm intertwines with electric piano and guitar.
It’s a great addition to your karaoke repertoire if you want something a bit different from the typical high-energy summer tunes.

Perpetual Summer VacationFriends
If you’re looking for an upbeat, club-style summer song, I recommend “Tokonatsu Vacation” by Friends! This track, included on Friends’ first album “Con Patch!” released in 2018, is a dance number distinguished by its rhythmic piano performance.
In the music video on YouTube, the whole band shows off a catchy dance.
If your karaoke crew masters the moves and dances along, the room will instantly turn into a club dance floor!
LOVERAAA
For a love song to sing at karaoke in July, AAA’s “LOVER” is highly recommended.
With its upbeat rhythm and refreshing melody line, every element brims with summer vibes, making it a number that feels great to sing.
Since AAA is a co-ed group, it’s also easy to sing when you go to karaoke with friends of the opposite sex.
The music video, which features lots of ocean scenes, also gives off a summery feel and is highly recommended.
