White KissSuzuki Suzuki
A song by Suzuki Suzuki, the sibling duo who became the sixth champions in the “Vocal Ability No.
1 Contest” on the music talk variety show Momm!!.
Its crystal-clear, Christmas-evoking arrangement and sibling-only harmonies really linger in your ears.
The beautiful melody conjures winter scenery and will make you want to sing it at karaoke during the holiday season just by listening.
It’s a dreamy pop tune that will get everyone going—whether you sing it with friends at karaoke or, like the original, as siblings.
EverythingMISIA
MISIA has left hit songs for every era.
Her “Everything” became a massive hit, boosted by its synergy with the Fuji TV drama “Yamato Nadeshiko,” and it holds the record for the best-selling single by a female singer in the 2000s.
Listening to this song really gives you that winter feeling, doesn’t it? Centered on the longing for “only you,” the lyrics are remarkable for how they hold back emotion throughout.
The way that suppressed feeling explodes into the chorus is the song’s real highlight.
Try singing it with all your heart—don’t be outdone by MISIA!
You and the slopesSHISHAMO
Kimi to Gelende” is one of SHISHAMO’s classic winter songs and is also known as a breakup song.
The unexpectedly heartrending lyrics come as a surprise after the lively intro.
She was thrilled to go out with the person she likes, but when they meet, she realizes that the person he likes isn’t her.
The lyrics capture those painful, heartbreaking feelings.
It’s a rock number you’ll want to sing with full emotional immersion after a breakup.
The song is included on the 2016 album “SHISHAMO 3.”
Winter is starting.Noriyuki Makihara
This song sung by Noriyuki Makihara is a perfect winter tune with a delightfully upbeat rhythm! Listening to it or singing along fills you with excitement.
The lyrics depict a happy couple, and there are touches that evoke Christmas, making it an ideal song for December, the very start of winter.
The key is a little high for men with an average vocal range, but since the gap between the lowest and highest notes isn’t that large, it’s easy to adjust—just lower the key a bit if it feels high, and it becomes much easier to sing.
If you can sing its familiar, ear-pleasing melody well, it feels great!
BetelgeuseYuri
This is the eighth major digital-only single by male singer-songwriter Yuuri, chosen as the theme song for the TV drama “SUPER RICH.” It’s a hit tune that has surpassed 100 million total streams.
The ensemble opens with a poignant vocal over an acoustic guitar sound that really touches the heart.
The expansive arrangement in the chorus makes it satisfying to belt out at karaoke.
Centered on the preciousness of human encounters and bonds, it’s the perfect number for December karaoke when you find yourself longing for connection.
White LoveSPEED
Among SPEED’s catalog, “White Love” is one of their most popular songs.
Released in 1997 as SPEED’s fifth single, it became their biggest hit and is also well known as a classic winter song.
People who were the same generation as SPEED at the time, as well as those older and younger, all know this track—it’s guaranteed to fire up any karaoke session.
Before you know it, the chorus turns into a massive sing-along—it’s that kind of song.

Winter, againGLAY
GLAY’s “Winter, again” is an essential song for winter karaoke.
With this track, GLAY topped the Oricon charts and swept awards including the Cable Radio Awards and the Japan Record Award, among others.
The lyrics—about how “in the winter season packed with memories, I’ll always think of you”—somehow evoke the winter scenery of their home of Hokkaido.
