WHITE BREATHT.M.Revolution
This song leaves a strong impression with Takanori Nishikawa singing in a music video, looking freezing in an open outfit amid a raging blizzard.
In stark contrast to “HOT LIMIT,” it’s one of T.
M.
Revolution’s popular winter songs that really makes you feel the chill.
Daisuke Asakura’s distinctive synth sound and the slightly sexy lyrics are part of its charm, too! While we can’t exactly whip up a blizzard in a karaoke room, it might be fun—within the limits of not getting scolded—to mimic the MV by turning on the AC instead of the heater while you sing.
That kind of goofy idea is exactly the sort of thing you can pull off at karaoke with just the guys, right?
milkaiko
When winter is cold, many of us crave a warm cup of hot milk, don’t we? aiko’s “milk” lets you feel a melody that’s as gentle and warming as that hot milk.
This pop song, full of aiko’s signature color, sings about a cute, aiko-esque kind of love.
It overflows with a warm feeling—loving someone more than anyone else, even if you can’t quite be bold and go after them.
If you try singing it at karaoke as cutely as aiko does, your feelings might just reach the person you like!
Tsugaru Strait – Winter SceneSayuri Ishikawa
Just hearing the title of this song conjures up images of the frigid northern provinces.
It was released in 1977—back before the Seikan Tunnel opened—evoking an era when people returning to Hokkaido would take the ferry.
With superb lyrics by Yu Aku set to music by Takashi Miki and sung by Sayuri Ishikawa, it became a massive hit.
It has since been covered by many artists.
Many younger people know it too, so it’s a great recommendation for karaoke gatherings with a wide range of ages.
Do you want to build a snowman?Sayaka Kanda, Natsuki Inaba, Sumire Morohoshi
This song shines with the voices of Sayaka Kanda, Natsuki Inaba, and Sumire Morohoshi, portraying the purity and poignancy of a girl innocently inviting a beloved person behind a closed door to come and play.
Created as an insert song for Disney’s Frozen, released in March 2014, it can be heard on the album Frozen (Original Soundtrack – Japanese Version).
The charm of this piece lies in its structure, which relays the growth of a single girl through three singers’ voices.
The way the innocent tone at the beginning gradually takes on a more earnest, heartrending quality over time powerfully moves listeners.
It’s perfect for karaoke—if you split the parts with friends, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped into the world of the story, creating a shared sense of immersion and a guaranteed emotional high.

Sing it on a karaoke date with your partner or when you go to karaoke with someone you like, and it might just move their heart a little.
Sing it with feeling, as if you’re warming a heart chilled by the winter cold!
WISHstorm
The theme song for Season 1 of the drama Hana Yori Dango, based on a manga and starring Jun Matsumoto from Arashi.
