Gift of the Holy NightMotohiro Hata
Among winter songs, Motohiro Hata’s “Seinaru Yoru no Okurimono” is especially perfect for December.
It’s included on his 2015 album Blue Scenery.
It mentions Christmas, but it works just as well before or after the day, which is nice.
It’s a medium-tempo ballad with a conversational singing style that slowly sinks in.
The chorus opens up in a way that feels great to sing, as if linking to a snowy landscape.
You might even feel your heart flutter at the straightforward love that tries to come through despite its clumsiness! Some people will surely picture a stew commercial, too.
It wraps you in a cozy, warm mood, so it’s a great pick when you want that kind of atmosphere.

I BELIEVETomomi Kahala
Tomomi Kahara, known for hit songs like “I’m proud” and “Hate tell a lie.” Her song “I BELIEVE” is a great karaoke pick with a powerful, uplifting vocal performance.
Centered on the importance of believing, its lyrics are perfect for moments when you’re aiming for new goals, such as New Year parties.
Also, Kahara has posted self-covers of her old songs on YouTube, so younger listeners can check those out and try singing this song themselves.
Dear…Kana Nishino
Kana Nishino, a singer known for hits like “Aitakute Aitakute” and “Torisetsu.” Her song “Dear…” is a great karaoke pick that sings of winter romance.
Her warm voice suits the cold season perfectly.
Among her songs, this one is relatively low in key, so it’s recommended for women who find high notes difficult.
The rhythm is simple too, making it a good choice for the first song to warm up your voice at karaoke.
It’s also a great song to sing when you go to karaoke with your partner!
Reason(s) to hold handsKana Nishino
When it comes to winter love songs, it feels like many are sad or about heartbreak, but this one is a song that gently warms your heart when you listen to it.
“Te wo Tsunagu Riyuu” (The Reason to Hold Hands) is Kana Nishino’s 32nd single, released in 2017.
True to Kana Nishino’s style of vividly expressing young women’s feelings about love, it’s a love song that clearly conveys those nameless emotions that well up when you fall in love.
With its mellow tone, it’s also an easy number to sing at karaoke.
Silent EveMidori Karashima
Silent Eve, a signature song by Midori Karashima that has been covered by countless artists.
It became the theme song for the drama “Christmas Eve,” and was a huge hit alongside the show—so for people of that generation, it probably has a strong image as a drama theme.
Looking at the lyrics, they depict a woman’s wavering feelings as she decides to part ways for the sake of the person she loved and return to being friends.
Farewells are always lonely and sad, but the winter chill and the coldness of the snow intensify that sadness even more.
WhiteKeyAmi Suzuki
Ami Suzuki, who has teamed up with Tetsuya Komuro to release numerous hit songs.
In recent years, her YouTube channel has gone viral, so many people may associate her more with that now.
Speaking of her winter songs, there’s “kissmark.” It was produced around the theme of “a song that makes you want to kiss when you hear it,” resulting in a love song overflowing with happiness.
It features frequent key changes that require some technique to sing, but for that very reason, it’s also a song where you can really showcase your vocal skills.
