Summer MirageKanako Wada
Kanako Wada is a singer-songwriter whose urbane, sophisticated sound and clear, translucent vocals helped support the rise of city pop in the 1980s.
This song, used as the ending theme for the TV anime Kimagure Orange Road, was released as a single in May 1987.
Like a summer mirage, it captures the elusive flutter and bittersweetness of love, and its echo-drenched production gives it a dreamlike quality.
The arrangement unfolds from a melody where slide guitar resonates with a touch of melancholy into a sentimental chorus, making it perfect for a wistful drive at dusk.
As a quintessential classic of ’80s city pop, it’s also beloved by music fans overseas—truly an indispensable pick for this theme!

Yuma, also known as a member of the YouTuber group Comdot, released an album in November 2024 titled “Try & Error.” One of its tracks is perfect for the end of summer.
Set against scenes like sparklers and festival music, the song vividly captures memories of summer spent with someone special.
Listening to it even brings back my own memories.
It’s a bittersweet yet warm piece where the melancholy of the passing season mingles with gratitude for having met someone important.
Writing down the summergood-for-nothing
A song carefully woven like writing a diary entry about an ordinary summer day.
Scenes come to life—the flowers blooming by the roadside, the fireworks rising over the neighboring town’s sky—stirring both tenderness for the shining season and a looming sense of its eventual end.
The appeal also lies in vocalist Ninjin’s steady, resonant voice and the nostalgic rock sound.
Featured on the EP “Hikage,” released in July 2025, this track is a work that will stay by your side throughout your summer.
Summer-colored FireworksSnow Man
“Natsuiro Hanabi” is sung alternately by the nine members of Snow Man with no overlapping parts, so it’s very easy to sing solo.
It’s a medium-tempo ballad that lets you breathe comfortably and sing with ease.
It’s highly recommended for those who want to sing at a relaxed tempo and feel good doing it.
The vocal range mainly sits around mid1 to mid2, so even if high notes aren’t your strength, you can sing it with confidence.
Ballads can be tricky to add dynamics to, and some people may end up singing them somewhat flatly.
In such cases, putting clear accents on slightly higher notes or at the beginnings of phrases will help create more contrast.
In “Natsuiro Hanabi,” the C-melody is the biggest highlight, so sing it with the feeling of projecting your voice far into the distance and enjoy yourself!
