The Land of ‘Good Job’ (Otsukaresama)Kazuyoshi Saito
After wrapping up work at the end of the year, you want to treat yourself at the bonenkai for all your hard work, right? In times like that, I recommend Kazuyoshi Saito’s “Otsukaresama no Kuni” (The Country of Thank-You-for-Your-Hard-Work).
Released in 2008 as Saito’s 35th single, it was featured in Takeda Pharmaceutical’s Alinamin commercial.
The music video uses videos and photos of people at work, selected through a public call for submissions.
The words of appreciation set to a simple rock ’n’ roll sound are sure to resonate with working people.
It’s a perfect song to sing at the after-party karaoke for yourself and your friends!
SNOW SMILEShota Shimizu
Among men who often go to karaoke, I bet some frequently sing Shota Shimizu’s songs.
Many of his tracks pair mellow, R&B-style accompaniment with beautiful melodies, which likely feel incredibly pleasant to sing for those who are good vocalists.
This song, of course, not only has a melody that feels great to sing, but its sweet lyrics—portraying a couple spending Christmas together—make it a perfect pick for karaoke in December.
What’s more, somewhat surprisingly, the song’s range isn’t too high or too wide, so I think it’s easy to sing for men with an average vocal range.
Dear…Kana Nishino
Kana Nishino’s song “Dear…” is her eighth single, released in 2009.
It reached No.
7 on the Oricon Singles Chart and was chosen as the official song for NTT Docomo’s “Ganbare Jukensei ’09–’10” campaign.
The lyrics, which express the sadness of not being able to see the person you love while studying for entrance exams, are truly heart-wrenching.
Winter is the final push for exam prep, but taking a little break to go to karaoke with your partner might be a nice way to refresh.
It’s said that “Dear…” is sung in the lowest vocal range among Kana Nishino’s songs, so definitely give it a try at karaoke!

chicken riceMasatoshi Hamada / Noriyuki Makihara
Lyrics by Hitoshi Matsumoto of the comedy duo Downtown, with composition by Noriyuki Makihara.
Not a lavish roast turkey or an omelet rice piled high with eggs, but the familiar chicken rice from childhood is something irreplaceably precious to the song’s protagonist.
It’s a song that makes you want to sing while savoring those cherished childhood memories that everyone carries in their heart.
Our first special Christmas togetherSuzuki Suzuki
Suzuki Suzuki is a brother duo whose songs—featuring the kind of beautiful harmonies only siblings can create—have gained popularity on YouTube.
Their track “Kimi to Sugosu Ichidome no Tokubetsu na Christmas,” released digitally on November 17, 2023, evokes the Christmas in its title with a clear, translucent ensemble.
Its message, overflowing with love for someone special, carries a warmth that might make you forget the cold season.
It’s a heartfelt ballad with a refreshing melody that enhances any romantic occasion.
Snow WhiteFlower
Flower is a dance and vocal group that swept through the 2010s.
In 2013, they released Snow White.
Coinciding with its Christmas release, the song beautifully captures the feel of winter.
It portrays a pure longing to see a loved one, resonating with clear, translucent sounds.
Set to a slow tempo, the track depicts a passionate heart in love.
Why not sing this fragile yet beautiful ballad—perfect for a cold winter’s day?
ChristmasJUDY AND MARY
It’s that time of year again when JUDY AND MARY’s “Christmas” feels just right! Just hearing the first chime gets me excited.
It’s an adorable song packed with that thrill and the feeling of being so happy to spend Christmas together with the one you love again this year.
If you go to karaoke around Christmas, this is an absolute must! Sing it to your partner and it’s sure to lift both of your spirits.
