UNICORN "A Town Where Snow Falls" OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

A number that expresses the desire to avoid the year-end crowds and a longing for one’s hometown.

Released in December 1992 as Unicorn’s eighth single, it was used as the ending theme for TBS’s “Totsuzen Variety Sokuhō!! COUNT DOWN 100.” Centered on the year’s end, it paints scenes of snow falling on a familiar town, while also conveying a quiet warmth and consideration for others.

The relaxed shuffle beat and wintry sound are especially pleasant.

Its narrow melodic range also makes it easy to sing at karaoke.

Someday Merry Christmas / B’z (Covered by GOODWARP)

One of the classic Christmas songs is B’z’s “Itsuka no Merry Christmas.” Although it was only included on the album FRIENDS and never released as a single, it’s a Christmas song loved by many, not just fans.

Because of that, it’s widely known and a great pick for Christmas karaoke! While you might expect it to depict a warm Christmas scene, the song actually sings about the warmth of a Christmas once spent in the past.

Unlike B’z’s hard rock tracks, it’s a relaxed ballad, making it easier to try even for those who usually feel, “I can’t sing B’z.” It’s especially recommended for a guys’ Christmas karaoke session.

Although the title says he hates Christmas, it depicts a man who, despite himself, is looking forward to it—going so far as to slyly book a restaurant and make his move.

The track has an easygoing, catchy mid-tempo feel, and the overall sound exudes the excitement and happiness of the holiday season.

It seems like a song that would be easy to sing at karaoke, so it’s recommended even for those who aren’t confident in their singing.

The lyrics depict a happy couple on a date set during a snowy Christmas.

Harmonizing as a duo, like Suzuki Suzuki, would work well too! With sleigh bell sounds featured prominently, the melody really conveys a Christmas vibe.

When you sing it, watch out for the high notes in the chorus and try delivering it gently and smoothly.

Throughout the long history of Japanese pop music, many Christmas songs have been created, but among those with an especially cool vibe, people in their 60s might first think of “Kurismasu Kyaroru no Koro ni wa.” While its flashy arrangement is striking, the vocal line is composed and the range is relatively narrow at mid1 D# to mid2 G#.

It can get the crowd going whether you sing it low or raise the key and add some shouts, so try it in whatever style you like.
