Christmas songs sung at karaoke! Introducing easy-to-sing tracks

Someday at ChristmasNEW!DISH//

DISH// – Merry Christmas Someday [Official Video Short ver.]

DISH// is a four-member dance-rock band.

They’ve carved out a unique niche as an idol group that performs while dancing, and they’ve created numerous classic songs to date.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is Itsuka wa Merry Christmas.

Although the tempo is relatively fast, the vocal range is narrow and sits in the low-mid to mid range.

It doesn’t require vibrato or ad-libs either, so simply tracking the pitch is enough to aim for a high score.

Tonight's ChristmasTakaya Kawasaki

Taka-ya Kawasaki - Tonight's Christmas [OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO]

It’s a warm song that makes you want to express your feelings on Christmas night.

Takaya Kawasaki, whose husky voice leaves a strong impression, gently sings about the special atmosphere of Christmas.

It’s filled with the desire to convey feelings that are usually too embarrassing to say, precisely because it’s this day, and its lyrics, which resonate closely with listeners’ hearts, are especially appealing.

Released in November 2020, this track is a true-to-life love ballad wrapped in an acoustic sound.

If you’re singing it at karaoke, Christmas night spent with someone special is perfect.

While there are some technically challenging parts—like the open, natural vibrato and falsetto in the chorus—the melody itself is very straightforward and should make pitching easy.

Try singing as if savoring the lyrics, pouring your feelings into every word!

I can hear the Christmas songNEW!Toshihiko Niizawa

You can hear the Christmas song — Sung by NEUTRINO (with lyrics)

This warm Christmas song, written and composed by Toshihiko Shinzawa, conveys the joy of Christmas to children in a clear and friendly way.

Included on the 1996 album “SEASON,” it features a memorable refrain of “Merry, Merry Christmas.” With simple, easy-to-remember lyrics and melody, it has long been loved in kindergartens and nursery schools.

It’s also used as panel theater teaching material, designed so children can enjoy a story while singing.

If everyone sings it together at a Christmas party, the whole venue is sure to be filled with smiles.

It’s the perfect song for family karaoke with little ones or for Christmas events at school!

silentSEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI「silent」

It’s a perfect number for karaoke during the Christmas season.

It’s a song by SEKAI NO OWARI, one of Japan’s leading bands, released in October 2020.

It drew attention for being chosen as the theme song for the drama “Kono Koi Atatamemasu ka.” The shimmering sound featuring sleigh bells is soothing.

However, the lyrics depict spending Christmas Eve alone while thinking of someone precious, which is heart-wrenching.

The song appeared on various charts, including Billboard Japan Hot 100.

It’s perfect for creating a calm atmosphere at karaoke.

Happy surpriseNaniwa Danshi

Naniwa Danshi – Happy Surprise [Official Music Video] YouTube ver.

A heartwarming winter love song by Naniwa Danshi that blows away the winter chill! It’s a track from their third single released in November 2022, and it was even chosen as the campaign song for Sunstar’s Ora2 me series.

With lyrics themed around winter magic and the joy of love, it’s sure to gently wrap listeners’ hearts.

The tender melody and love-filled words will naturally bring a smile to your face when you sing it at karaoke.

It was also used as the theme song for Lawson’s Christmas campaign, making it perfect for the holiday season.

Don’t worry too much about the technical stuff—just sing it with your close friends and have a great time!

HappinessNEW!AI

AI – Happiness

Released in December 2011, this song was once used for Coca-Cola’s Christmas campaign.

The opening bell sound really evokes winter and Christmas! I’m sure many of you have heard it before.

The song itself has R&B elements, with a groove that makes you move your body, and the rhythm is a bit unique.

If you try singing it without preparation, you might feel a slight rhythmic mismatch, so some practice is recommended.

Also, the song’s highest note, D#5 right before the last chorus, has tricky timing—make sure to nail it! There are lots of chorus parts too, so singing it as a duo with harmonies will sound really cool.

It’s a song that portrays “everyday love” and a “sense of happiness.” Enjoy it at karaoke!

everlasting snowNEW!Aimer

Aimer – everlasting snow『Audio Version』

When it comes to the ballad queen of the Reiwa era, many people probably think of Aimer.

Among her works, the Christmas ballad I especially recommend is “everlasting snow.” The vocal range is a touch on the high side at mid2A to hiF, but it stays within a generally accessible range, and the pitch movement isn’t overly dramatic.

Overall, it’s a song that’s relatively easy to sing, but since the verses (A-melody to B-melody) feature frequent low falsetto, those who struggle with head voice might consider boldly raising the key to make the falsetto parts easier to produce.
