somedayyuzu
A heartwarming ballad that paints a cityscape as winter’s chill deepens.
Its gentle melody tenderly embraces bittersweet feelings, making it a perfect fit for the cold season.
Released in January 1999, it has been cherished as one of Yuzu’s classic winter songs and ballads.
There’s also an intriguing story that Yuujin Kitagawa came up with the lyrics at a McDonald’s and composed the melody on his way home.
Sing it at a winter karaoke session, and it’s sure to stir nostalgia and resonance in listeners’ hearts.
Filled with lyrics that hold feelings for someone special, it has the power to bring people closer together.
Afterword of Winterivy color
A winter ballad that portrays a love you just can’t forget.
It’s the lead track from WHITE, the fourth mini-album by Ivy Color, a piano rock band from Osaka.
The gently spun world of the song and the band’s sound wrap around an irretrievable past.
With Ivy Color’s signature beautiful tones and bittersweet romance, it’s a recommendation for fans of back number as well.
Since it’s a ballad overflowing with melancholy, it’s great for singing slowly during solo karaoke—or, given the theme, maybe even at a year-end party to help sort out your feelings.
Lingering Snowdolphin
Speaking of winter, there tend to be more get-togethers like year-end parties and class reunions.
A song that never misses at karaoke on those occasions is Iruka’s “Nagori Yuki.” The original was released by Kaguya-hime in 1974, and it became a huge hit when Iruka later sang it, after which it’s been covered by many artists.
That’s why it’s popular across generations at karaoke.
It’s a crowd-pleaser for outings like karaoke with your boss or a long-overdue class reunion, so make sure to practice it as one of your go-to songs!

At first listen, this song may not sound like a winter tune.
I chose it as a popular winter song because it’s often heard at the National High School Soccer Championship.
People often say “Koshien in summer, the Championship in winter,” and for students, this is probably a song that brings back memories of winter.
meteorKobukuro
A song named after the Monday 9 p.
m.
drama “Nagareboshi,” which provided its theme song, it was a hit during a period when they won various awards and frequently appeared on TV.
It expresses “love” as a shooting star, and its beautiful lyrics and slow melody are sure to captivate listeners.
It’s also pretty cool when two male singers perform it with harmonies.
O.R.I.O.N.Sandaime J Soul Brothers from EXILE TRIBE
A once-dominating, now-nostalgic midwinter mega-anthem from Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE.
A dance-pop track that vaults beyond the galaxy atop grand, Euro-style EDM sounds.
You’ll need to sing the chorus in a pretty high register, so if you’re confident in your chops, give it a try.
If there are female fans around, it’s sure to hype up the crowd.
The call-and-response parts should be easy to throw in, too!

Embraced by the wintry windKyoko Koizumi
Kyon-Kyon’s 20th single, “Embraced by the Wintry Wind,” was released in 1986.
It was a big hit at the time and has remained a long-running favorite, becoming one of Kyoko Koizumi’s signature songs with numerous cover versions by many artists.
The lyrics and music were written by Toshihiko Takamizawa of THE ALFEE.
The song conveys a woman’s bittersweet feelings and budding love; coupled with the title’s “kogarashi” (the cold, withering winter wind), that lonely wind seems to drive the solitude even deeper, heightening the poignancy of the number.
