This song by Mosawo, which drew attention as a warm yet bittersweet winter love song that overlays the chill of winter with the stirrings of romance, features an evocative string arrangement brimming with seasonal atmosphere—perfect for the Christmas season.

Released digitally in November 2020, the track resonated with many listeners as a love song from a woman’s perspective, and its music video on YouTube was also well received.

By the time of the Christmas carolsInagaki Junichi

Around the Time of Christmas Carols by Junichi Inagaki

Junichi Inagaki is a singer with an air of mature charm.

Released in October 1992, this work has long been cherished as a Christmas standard.

The lyrics, which depict love’s misunderstandings and inner turmoil, are striking, and the song expresses hope that, by the time the Christmas carols are playing, the answer will be found.

It has also been used as a theme for TV dramas and films, resonating with many people.

When singing it at karaoke, rather than focusing only on the well-known chorus, it’s recommended to balance your delivery with the calmer verses, emulate Inagaki’s distinctive microphone technique, and sing with heartfelt feelings for someone special.

Santa ClausELLEGARDEN

ELLEGARDEN – Santa Claus LIVE 2003 [ENG SUB] (7/14)

Released in 2002, “Santa Claus” is a track with ELLEGARDEN’s signature band rock and guitar-driven sound, layered with a touch of bittersweetness.

The melody is very simple and easy to remember, and it’s clear where the song peaks.

The overall vocal range is C#3 to B4, and in the chorus where the pitch rises a bit, if you move with the groove while listening to the drums, it feels great to sing! Also, the song begins with vocals over the guitar—almost a cappella.

After that it shifts fully into a powerful band sound, so singing clearly with strong contrast will really bring out the song’s appeal.

If you like band-oriented rock, definitely get pumped up with ELLEGARDEN!

Keisuke Kuwata – Shiroi Koibitotachi (Full ver.)

From the intro’s beautiful organ sound, this song really evokes winter.

It’s a classic you always hear when the season comes around! Although the theme is “heartbreak,” its gentle melody and touching lyrics make it a song you’ll find yourself wanting to sing.

The final chorus is sung almost entirely in falsetto, so the range gets quite high, but otherwise it stays around D3–G4, which is relatively calm and comfortable for male voices.

Using falsetto here and there enhances the bittersweet mood and brings out the song’s appeal.

For the falsetto on the B4 in the last chorus, try producing a thin tone as if your voice is being pulled up from above your head—you should get a clean sound.

For the very last chest-voice note of the song, project it straight out as far as you can! The key is to avoid tensing up.

AI – Happy Christmas / Happy Christmas

This is the definitive winter song by AI that celebrates the joy and happiness of Christmas! With lyrics that weave in beautifully lit landscapes and memorable encounters and farewells, it warmly embraces the hearts of listeners.

Released in November 2016, this track is AI’s very first Christmas song and was also chosen as the theme song for Aeon’s “Hello! New CHRISTMAS 2016” TV commercial.
