A Lump of Love / KinKi Kids (cover by Rune)

This song, Ai no Katamari, was included as the B-side to KinKi Kids’ 13th single Hey! Minna Genki Kai?, released in 2001.

The lyrics were written by Tsuyoshi Domoto and the music was composed by Koichi Domoto.

It’s not a Christmas song per se, but as a winter song that even weaves Christmas into the lyrics, it’s perfect for winter karaoke.

As the title suggests, it’s a love song from a woman’s perspective that overflows with “a bundle of love.” There’s something especially moving about a man singing a song written from a woman’s point of view, isn’t there?

This song depicts a wintry love, where fluttering excitement and bittersweet longing intertwine.

It’s a December 2024 piece by Tani Yuuki that skillfully captures the protagonist’s wavering emotions amid the festive Christmas atmosphere.

The beautiful piano sound, the light, buoyant melody, and Tani Yuuki’s layered vocals leave a strong impression.

The lyrics convey raw feelings—like the frustration of not being able to confess to someone you love and the loneliness that comes from seeing happiness all around you.

If you’re struggling with matters of the heart, give it a listen.

The feelings for a loved one, expressed through a warm voice and melody, truly touch the heart.

Released by Dai Hirai in December 2024, this song is perfect for a special Christmas night.

It vividly portrays the sound of bells echoing through the city, couples walking the streets, and the loneliness of spending the night alone.

This piece might just save your heart.

Entrust me with eternity.

This is a classic Christmas song created by DEEN! Set in winter and featuring the phrase “White Christmas,” it vividly depicts a rendezvous at a ticket gate as powdery snow falls—a warm, romantic piece overflowing with charm.

Released in November 1993, it debuted in the top three on the Oricon charts.

Also used in an NTT DoCoMo pager commercial, the song appears on many of DEEN’s albums, including their debut album “DEEN,” as well as best-of collections like “SINGLES+1” and “DEEN PERFECT SINGLES +.” It’s perfect for a Christmas night spent with someone special, especially if you want to deepen your bond with a loved one.

When singing it at karaoke, try performing it with honest, heartfelt emotion.

It snows in Sexy SummerSexy Zone

Sexy Zone “Snow Falls in a Sexy Summer” (short ver.)

The song’s title evokes a summer beach that’s the complete opposite of Christmas, yet its catchy melody and romantic lyrics transcend the seasons.

Released in October 2012 as Sexy Zone’s third single, it was also chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Super Infiltration! Real Scope Hyper.” Its enchanting worldview—snow falling over the midsummer sea—and the deft portrayal of a love-shy protagonist’s emotions leave a warm afterglow in listeners’ hearts.

It’s sure to be a hit at karaoke not only during the Christmas season but year-round.

For anyone struggling with love, this is a song that will surely give you courage.

MIDNIGHT FLIGHT — A Lonely Christmas EveShogo Hamada

MIDNIGHT FLIGHT — A Lonely Christmas Eve (1989)

Against the backdrop of Christmas loneliness, this touching masterpiece by Shogo Hamada sings of lost love and solitude.

Originally included on the 1985 mini-album “CLUB SNOWBOUND” and released as a standalone work in 1987, it was later featured on his 1989 self-cover album “Wasted Tears.” The protagonist’s emotions, portrayed alongside the urban landscape, evoke both poignancy and empathy.

It’s a song I highly recommend to anyone who has experienced heartbreak or parted ways with someone dear.

For karaoke, try singing it with an awareness of Hamada’s delicate vocal delivery, while picturing the winter night sky.

My Very Own Merry ChristmasTsuyoshi Nagabuchi

My Very Own Merry Christmas

A rare Christmas song for Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi.

Included on the album HEAVY GAUGE released in June 1983, this track is a simple yet heartwarming hidden gem.

It marks an important period when he was transitioning from a delicate folk singer to his trademark raspy, passionate vocal style.

The lyrics, filled with kindness, depict the warmth of family and the forging of new bonds.

When singing it at karaoke, try delivering it gently, as if telling memories to a child.

It’s recommended for those who want to feel the happiness of spending Christmas night with someone special.
