[For Middle Schoolers] Best Christmas Songs for Karaoke [2025] (51–60)

Winter GiftMosa o.

Winter Present / Mosao. [Music Video]

Also as a winter present.

For a Christmas when you want to confess your feelings to someone you like, the one song I’d love you to hear is Mosao’s “Fuyu no Present” (Winter Present).

While his signature track “Gyutto” has been enjoying a long run as a hit, this digital single was released in November 2020.

Don’t the lyrics—overflowing with Mosao’s hallmark emotions and a love-song perspective from a woman’s point of view—make your heart flutter as you listen? Why not invite your crush to karaoke and try singing “Fuyu no Present” together?

SantaMomoiro Clover Z

[Momoclo MV] Santa-san / Momoiro Clover Z (MOMOIRO CLOVER Z / SANTA SAN)

Santa-san Momoiro Clover Z

A quintessential Christmas song of Momoclo that has been sung since the Momoiro Clover days.

At their Christmas-season live shows, Momoiro Christmas, it’s the No.

1 hype song! The chorus is just a single word, so even junior high schoolers who don’t know the song well can totally sing along by feel.

It’s a super fun track, so if lots of classmates are getting together, it might be great to sing it as a group.

During the live performance, Reni-chan’s magic show is always inserted, so if you can do a little magic trick, be sure to show it off and amp up the crowd!

I want to be SantaYuiko Ohara

I want to be Santa

Yuiko Ohara Who Wants to Be Santa

A wistful love song by Yuiko Ohara, known by the catchphrase “the singer-songwriter of the anison world.” For anyone nursing a crush, Christmas is a season when those helpless feelings only intensify—especially when the person you love is looking at someone else.

Even so, your feelings don’t change.

The lyrics, which express that earnest, unwavering devotion, really strike a chord.

Why not try singing it with friends, at karaoke, or even in front of the person who hasn’t realized how you feel yet? Who knows—there might be a present from Santa in store!

Starbucks, Me and You（English Ver.）Hirai Dai

Hirai Dai / Starbucks, Me and You (English Ver.) Lyric Video

Starbucks, Me and You (English Ver.) by Dai Hirai

The Christmas song that Dai Hirai collaborated on with Starbucks is “Starbucks, Me and You.” It was released on December 16 as the 14th installment of his consecutive digital singles, which he had been putting out at a pace of one song every two weeks since May 2021.

The song was created based on stories collected from Starbucks customers and baristas.

Hirai’s slightly husky, raspy voice—one of his charms—perfectly matches the vibe of the track.

It’s a highly recommended song for you, a mature middle schooler who loves R&B!

SNOW SMILEShota Shimizu

Shota Shimizu “SNOW SMILE short ver.”

SNOW SMILE Shota Shimizu

A refined, grown-up Christmas song released in 2014.

After the karaoke has run its course and the energy settles, singing this casually might catch the attention of the girls.

The lyrics paint a scene of “lovers who took a short cooling-off period and reunite at Christmas,” which can feel quite mature from a middle schooler’s perspective.

The trick is to sing it gently—without belting—yet with solid control.

It’s included on the album ALL SINGLES BEST.

Listen to it over and over so you can bring out a touch of that adult mood.

HappinessEito

Happiness

Happiness Eito

If you want to have a happy Christmas, I recommend “Happiness.” The song was originally released by AI in 2011, but in 2020 it was covered by Eito and used as the commercial song for Coca-Cola’s Winter Campaign 2020.

Compared to the original, the cover has a warmer, more acoustic feel.

The performance has a calmer vibe too, so if you prefer this version, be sure to try singing it at karaoke!

Christmas LoveKana Nishino

Christmas Love♡ Kana Nishino

Christmas Love Kana Nishino

A Kana Nishino-style Christmas song.

Since it’s mid-tempo, it might be good to slip it into a hyped-up set to change the vibe—you might suddenly grab everyone’s attention.

The lyrics can be interpreted as about a broken heart, but the overall feel of the song isn’t that sad.

The key is to channel Kana Nishino and sing without forcing it.
