Karaoke Songs to Sing in December: Great for Year-End Parties Too! Winter Songs and Christmas Songs (31–40)
Lovers AgainEXILE
The song that took first place in the 2008 “Male Artist Love Song Karaoke Request Rankings” was EXILE’s “Lovers Again.” It’s a karaoke favorite that consistently ranks high in the annual karaoke request rankings.
Released in 2007 as their 22nd single, it reached No.
2 on the Oricon Singles Chart.
A Christmas version of “Lovers Again” is included on EXILE CHRISTMAS, the X’mas album bundled with the limited first edition of their 2009 album To the Future Beloved (Aisubeki Mirai e).
My lover is Santa ClausFlower
This is a song covered by the dance and vocal group Flower, originally the famous track “Koibito ga Santa Claus” by Yumi Matsutoya, known as the theme song for the film “Take Me Out to the Snowland.” It became a hot topic as Flower’s first cover song! The original has a cool sound, but Flower’s version is even more danceable.
Even though it’s a cover, the impression is completely different, so at karaoke be sure to try singing both and have fun!
GIFTICEx
A pop love song that delivers a heartwarming gift on Christmas night.
It’s ICEx’s fourth single, released digitally on December 25, 2024.
The gentle soundscape evokes images of snowy scenery and holiday lights.
The lyrics express gratitude to a loved one and a desire to keep spending time together, leaving listeners with a cozy, contented feeling.
If you listen to it with your partner, you might just fall even more in love.
Our XmasYuka
This pop-tinged track charmingly captures the joy of spending the Christmas season with friends.
Released in December 2024, it was selected as the campaign song for FM Yokohama’s winter campaign “Hot Winter Magic.” Its bright message says you don’t need a romantic partner—time with friends keeps loneliness at bay.
Yuka’s gentle vocals will warm listeners’ hearts.
It’s a Christmas song I especially recommend for teens and people in their twenties!
Harmony of DecemberKinKi Kids
Released in 2006 as their 24th single, “Harmony of December” is a winter ballad with the gentle sound of bells ringing.
The two voices are so tender that it makes you want to close your eyes and listen.
The lyrics, which portray the preciousness of time spent with a loved one, are also romantic and captivating.
There’s a falsetto part, but that doesn’t mean the pitch of the phrase is particularly high.
Try singing it while carefully following the melody.

DEPARTURESglobe
A quintessential winter song of the ’90s.
With total sales of about 2.
28 million copies, it’s globe’s biggest hit.
It was created as the CM song for JR East featuring Yutaka Takenouchi and Makiko Esumi, and the lyrics—written by Tetsuya Komuro as an expression of feelings to a lover—captured the hearts of many.
In 2016, it was made into a music video starring Ayaka Miyoshi, which became a hot topic.
The lyrics, which sing of a woman’s aching heart as she thinks of the loved one who is no longer by her side while the snow falls silently, are truly heartrending.
Why not try singing it while embracing that emotion?
Snow BlossomMika Nakashima
A winter classic you can’t leave out is Yuki no Hana.
It’s one of Mika Nakashima’s signature songs and a staple for women’s karaoke.
In 2019, a film titled Yuki no Hana inspired by the song was released, with the track also serving as the theme song.
It’s a straightforward love song that depicts the joy and happiness of spending winter next to the one you love.
For men, singing the cover versions by Hideaki Tokunaga or Takeshi Tsuruno might be a better key fit.
