The bell sounds at the beginning of the intro evoke a Christmas vibe, don’t they? In fact, this song is often sung at karaoke during the Christmas season.

The track has a gospel feel, and rather than being about romance, it conveys something bigger—giving the impression that people all around the world are connected by a single shared feeling.

White LoveSPEED

White Love – SPEED (Full)

White LoveSPEED

A four-member idol group that sprang out of Okinawa Actors School.

Their songs had a somewhat mature feel, and it might have been SPEED who taught us that drawing lines between idols and artists is meaningless.

White Love is SPEED’s biggest hit and their signature song.

Its breezy lyrics—“It’s almost scary how happy I am; I want you never to let me go”—remain eternally pure and unfaded.

Every girl copied the choreography to this track.

The Shiseido T’cera commercial featuring SPEED also became a hot topic.

A must-listen even for people in their 20s who don’t know SPEED!

Merry ChristmasTani Yuuki

Merry Christmas – Tani Yuuki [MV]

Merry Christmas, Tani Yuuki

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.

Christmas LoveKana Nishino

Kana Nishino Christmas Love (Kanayan X’mas Special ~wish & real~)

Christmas Love Kana Nishino

When it comes to artists who’ve released many moving love ballads, Kana Nishino immediately comes to mind.

Even within love songs, she covers a range of situations—bright, cheerful tracks, sad breakup songs, encouraging anthems—so I think many people in their twenties have drawn energy and courage from her music.

As the title suggests, “Christmas Love” is a love song you’ll want to sing at Christmas.

If you’re hoping to spend that once-a-year special time alone together, it’s perfect to sing at karaoke or simply listen to at home!

EverythingMISIA

A classic winter song by MISIA that perfectly matches the Christmas scenery! It was used as the theme song for the drama “Yamato Nadeshiko” starring Nanako Matsushima, and both the song and the show became major hits.
