Wings of IceGLAY

GLAY / Wings of Ice (Lyric Movie)

With its beautiful strings and jazzy performance that gives a sophisticated feel, “Koori no Tsubasa” (Wings of Ice) is a song you’ll want to sing on a cold winter’s day.

It’s included on GLAY’s 2019 album “NO DEMOCRACY,” the band best known for hits like “HOWEVER,” and it was featured in the film “Wings Over Everest.” TERU’s powerful yet fragile vocals, paired with lyrics that evoke an intense, intimate relationship between two people, make it perfect for adult karaoke.

The trick to singing this song is not to push too hard—sing as if exhaling.

Snow Magic FantasySEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI “Snow Magic Fantasy”

SEKAI NO OWARI’s fifth major single, whose music video and costumes also convey the song’s world.

loadTHE Toraba-ryu

THE Toramaru Dragon “Road” FULL Music Video

It’s a classic winter song that you can’t listen to without tears, the kind that tightens your chest with heartache.

With its slow tempo and repeating melody, it’s easy to learn and sing.

However, if you don’t put your feelings into it, the song won’t come across—so it’s important to sing while expressing loneliness and pain.

It’s a long song, but make sure to sing it through to the end! It’s one of those songs you can’t help but want to listen to when winter comes.

SNOW SOUND[Alexandros]

[Alexandros] – SNOW SOUND (MV)

It’s [Alexandros]’s 14th single, featured as the CM song for JR East’s 2016–2017 “JR SKISKI” campaign.

It’s a perfect winter track where you can fully savor vocalist Yohei Kawakami’s soaring high tones.

Since the chorus stays in a high register, it’s easier to sing at karaoke if you lower the key, but trying it in the original key can be fun too.

YukikazeSpitz

Spitz – “Yukikaze” Special Video

A four-piece rock band, Spitz, known for their unforgettable high-tone vocals and catchy ensemble that have produced numerous hit tunes, releases their 40th single.

This song was newly written as the ending theme for the TV drama “Inconvenient Convenience Store,” and it is the band’s first number themed around snow.

Its relaxed tempo makes it easy to sing, but because it features many leaps in pitch and a wide vocal range, practice is necessary before performing it at karaoke.

If you find it difficult to hit the high notes, try adjusting the key on the karaoke machine to suit your voice, and give it a shot.

Merry XmasBoA

BoA / Meri Kuri

This is a song I absolutely want to sing at Christmas.

Keep the tempo slow and perform it gently, tenderly, and cutely.

The chorus goes a bit higher, but get through it with falsetto! It’s a classic that really captures the scent of winter, so it’s sure to get everyone excited.

BoA’s cuteness and the cuteness of the lyrics make your heart skip a beat.

It really makes you long for snow.

It’s a winter staple, so it’s sure to be a hit at karaoke.
