HappinessAI
A number by AI that was used for five years starting in 2011 as the CM song for Coca-Cola’s Christmas campaign.
Its warm melody, which makes you feel a happy Christmas, is familiar and catchy—even people who don’t know the song well will find themselves moving to the beat.
It’s a tune that can bring a smile when you’re feeling a bit down.
It’s almost as if the song itself turns into Santa, delivering the gift of smiles.
This is a recommended karaoke song for those who want to go all out with an all-girls Christmas—like at a girls’ night Christmas party!
silverEVE
When you go to karaoke and can’t decide what to sing, seasonal songs are the safest bet.
My recommendation here is Eve’s “Shirogane,” perfect for winter.
It links a pure-white winter landscape with that fresh, ready-to-begin mindset.
Another great thing about karaoke is that the lyrics are displayed on the screen, so everyone can really take them in.
Plenty of people get hooked after hearing someone else sing a song first.
If you sing it at a year-end party or a class reunion with people your age, you might get complimented for your excellent song choice!
God of RomanceKohmi Hirose
Kohmi Hirose, known as the “Queen of Winter,” has a song called “God of Romance” that’s upbeat and guaranteed to get everyone fired up at karaoke.
It’s not actually a winter-themed song, but it gained attention as a winter number because it was used in commercials for the ski gear shop Alpen.
The lyrics are refreshingly straightforward—basically, “I’m gonna snag a great guy at the party!”—which makes them fun.
Hirose’s songs tend to be in a higher key, so even women might want to lower the key a bit.
Also, playwright Koki Mitani once performed this song on the TV show Shindoumonkyo-dai, so it’s a great pick for men to try without hesitation too!
heartAimyon
Aimyong’s “Heart” features an unadorned, gentle singing voice and lyrics that seep into the soul.
It was chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama “Only Just Married,” so many of you have probably heard it.
Whether your love is unrequited, mutual, or somewhere between friends and lovers, anyone in love can likely relate to these lyrics.
Even without using words like “I like you” or “I love you,” her feelings come through—Aimyong’s sensibility is truly noteworthy.
In the cold winter months when we long for connection, this song will gently warm your heart and body like a hot-water bottle.
Winter BellsMai Kuraki
A gemlike pop number by Mai Kuraki that wraps the chill of winter in a heartwarming love story.
Used as the opening theme for the TV anime Detective Conan, it was released in January 2002 as her 11th single.
The song weaves feelings of longing for a lover far away and the hope of reunion into a beautiful melody.
Its lyrics vividly paint winter scenes—snowy landscapes, candlelight, and softly tolling bells.
With a romantic and upbeat mood, it’s sure to elevate any karaoke session.
A perfect pick for those moments when you want to feel a special bond with someone important, or when you’re looking for a dazzling winter song.
Christmas EveYuri
It’s nice to sing a bittersweet heartbreak song, isn’t it? One I’d like to recommend is Yuri’s “Christmas Eve.” It’s a ballad included on his second album, “Ni.” The lyrics portray a man who revisits places filled with memories of his ex on Christmas Eve, wishing to see her again.
The song’s highlight is how it conveys his feelings through various metaphors.
The humming and intonation are also striking, so keep those in mind when you sing it.

SubtitleOfficial HIGE DANDism
Official HIGE DANDism is a four-member rock band known for hit songs like “No Doubt,” “Pretender,” and “I LOVE…”.
Their song “Subtitle” is a ballad that’s perfect for singing at karaoke in winter.
The key to singing it well is to firmly internalize the triplet “ta-ta-ta” rhythm.
Also, the build-up to the chorus has a unique structure that smoothly connects a B-melody to a C-melody, so the section right before the chorus might be the hardest part of the song.
Make sure to focus your practice there!
