Oh Yeah!storm
Arashi is a five-member idol group that paused group activities in 2020, yet each member has continued to thrive at the forefront of the industry.
Oh Yeah!, the opening track of their seventh studio album Time, was used as the commercial song for House Foods’ C1000 Lemon Water, in which the members also appeared.
The opening, marked by a memorable guitar riff with delay, evokes the refreshing feeling of summer.
With its exhilarating, fast-paced beat that creates a pleasant atmosphere, it’s a hidden gem among Arashi’s many well-known songs.
Gate of GloryHirai Dai
Dai Hirai’s “Eikou no Tobira” (The Door to Glory) is a perfect song for summer, and it was even chosen as a cheer song for high school baseball.
His powerful vocals—distinctive for their unique tone that can almost sound like English—convey a sense of determination heading into the season.
The arrangement and lyrics gradually build from a gentle atmosphere to greater intensity, evoking the image of high school baseball players and expressing the desire to make summer something special.
It’s a song that carries passionate feelings within its calmness, and it lifts the spirit for summer across generations.

BUBBLE-GUM MAGICKEYTALK
If you’re looking for a song to boost your energy, KEYTALK’s “BUBBLE-GUM MAGIC” is highly recommended.
The guitar’s funky cutting meshes perfectly with the dance beat, and just listening to it will get you grooving.
Even when the heat has you feeling low, this track is guaranteed to lift your spirits and keep you going.
summer coldMACO
MACO, who once served as the opening act for Ariana Grande’s first concert in Japan, is known for her refreshing yet powerful vocals.
One of her heartbreakingly beautiful songs is “Natsukaze” (“Summer Cold”).
The lyrics gently depict the world of “two people who love each other but keep missing each other,” making teens’ hearts flutter.
A key twist in the song is that the “kaze” (wind) mentioned in the lyrics differs from the “kaze” (cold) in the title.
That slight feverish feeling of a summer cold links with the warmth of love, giving the song an indescribably lovely atmosphere.
If you’re in your teens, you’ll definitely relate!
Summer loverSHISHAMO
“Natsu no Koibito” is a 2016 single by SHISHAMO that depicts the end of a summer romance.
Its relaxed tempo pairs perfectly with Asako Miyazaki’s calm vocals.
The longing to stay with someone you love, and the conflict of knowing you can’t—those emotions come through vividly in the lyrics, and it really hits you when you listen.
It’s also included on the album “SHISHAMO 4,” and it’s a perfect song for the end of summer.
If you’ve ever had a dramatic love story, it’ll surely resonate.
Plus, the a cappella section that appears in the latter half is absolutely goosebump-inducing, so be sure to give it a listen.
Summer Thrillnever young beach
Speaking of Nevayan, their somewhat nostalgic, floating sound just feels perfect for summer, doesn’t it? This track is a breezy, light number that’s a classic example of that style.
The lyrics line up all the quintessential symbols of summer that make anyone’s heart race, and you can’t help but think, “That’s right—nothing special has to happen; this thrill is forever.” The nostalgic sound and the uniquely wavering low vocals seep in gently and loosely, soaking into your heart and giving you a sensation like swaying between the waves.
