Winter Fantasycousin

Winter Fantasy – Cousin

Winter Fantasy Cousin

This is the third single by Cousin, a pop duo formed by cousins who had each been pursuing their own music careers separately.

The song was used in a Sapporo Beer “Fuyu Monogatari” (Winter Story) commercial, and its intro—featuring bells, piano, and strings—instantly evokes the feeling of Christmas.

The grand, spacious arrangement and beautiful harmonies create an atmosphere that’s uniquely Cousin.

It’s a classic Christmas song that’s highly recommended for karaoke among people in their 30s—and if possible, try taking on the harmonies too.

Somewhere in a distant town...Miho Nakayama

Miho Nakayama / Somewhere in a Distant Town…

Somewhere in a distant town… Miho Nakayama

“Somewhere in a Distant Town…” is the kind of song that gently lifts your spirits when you’re feeling down.

Released in 1991 by Miho Nakayama—affectionately known as Miporin and also famous as an actress—the single features lyrics that tie into the drama for which it served as the theme, ‘Aitai Toki ni Anata wa Inai…’ (You’re Not There When I Want to See You…).

Considered a signature piece that showcases Nakayama’s strengths, it sits alongside moving medium-tempo ballads like ‘Tada Nakitakunaru no’ and ‘You’re My Only Shinin’ Star.

’ People in their 30s may feel especially nostalgic about it given its release period, but its catchy, warm atmosphere appeals across generations.

With its relaxed, gentle melody, even those who aren’t confident singers can enjoy it.

It’s also a great Christmas song for cheering up and encouraging friends at karaoke!

Snow BlossomMika Nakashima

Mika Nakashima “Yuki no Hana” MUSIC VIDEO

Snow Flower by Mika Nakashima

It’s not a song about Christmas, but it’s a classic winter ballad that gets sung at karaoke a lot around this time of year! Speaking of Mika Nakashima, her clear, cool voice is so captivating and suits winter songs perfectly, doesn’t it? By the way, this song has a pretty wide range from the lowest to the highest notes, so it’s relatively challenging.

That said, the soaring melody in the chorus feels great to sing, so don’t worry too much about the details—just go for it!

Winter BellsMai Kuraki

Winter Bells (from Detective Conan) (feat. Shiroku) (Vocal Version)

Winter Bells Mai Kuraki

This is a winter love song sung by Mai Kuraki.

Since it was the theme song for the anime Detective Conan from 2001 to 2002, I think many people are familiar with it.

It’s a light, pop track with a distinctly Christmassy, sparkling sound.

The lyrics tell a story that lets you imagine a sweet romance, and the melody that brings those words to life is so beautiful—it must feel great to sing! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to sing their heart out and feel refreshed.

DEAR…againKohmi Hirose

Kohmi Hirose / DEAR…again

DEAR...again Kohmi Hirose

This is the eighth single by singer-songwriter Kōmi Hirose, whose broad musical knowledge and distinctive personality have also made her popular on YouTube since 2019.

True to Hirose—known in the J-pop scene as the “Queen of Winter”—the song features brilliant lyrics that vividly conjure Christmas scenes and a catchy yet poignant melody.

Its story, focusing on lovers in a long-distance relationship, makes Christmas feel like an even more special occasion.

It’s a classic winter song that people in their thirties—the generation it belongs to—will especially want to sing.

God of RomanceKohmi Hirose

Kohmi Hirose / God of Romance

Romance no Kamisama by Kohmi Hirose

One of Kumi Hirose’s signature songs, she’s often called the Queen of Winter.

It’s powerful and uses lots of high notes, so it might be a bit challenging for karaoke.

Still, it’s perfect for the Christmas season, so be sure to sing it and have fun together! Just like in the lyrics, I hope your love goes well, too!
