White gradationDaikoku Maki
Released in January 1994, this song was tied in as the commercial theme for the ski gear chain “Victoria,” reaching No.
5 on the Oricon weekly chart and No.
48 on the year-end chart.
Maki Ohguro wrote both the lyrics and music, and the track is notable for its translucent melody and lyrics that portray emotional wavering.
Key changes are woven into the arrangement, building toward a climax that stirs the listener’s heart.
Sing it at karaoke, and you just might find yourself back in those days.
Winter is starting.Makihara Noriyuki
It’s a warm, comforting song that really makes you feel the arrival of winter.
Released in November 1991 as Noriyuki Makihara’s fourth single, it was also used in a Sapporo Beer “Fuyu Monogatari” commercial and remains beloved by many to this day.
The depiction of happy moments with a lover and the mutual care between them is especially memorable.
You can easily picture a romantic scene of stargazing on a winter night.
Its vocal range makes it easy to sing at karaoke, so it’s great to perform together with someone special.
It’s the perfect song for looking back on winter memories.
Christmas Once MoreŌe Senri
A number by Senri Oe, who, as a singer-songwriter, also provided songs for numerous artists adored by people now in their 50s.
Included on the 1985 album “Miseinen,” this track is marked by a poppy synthesizer sound that sets it apart from other Christmas songs.
Its irresistible, dance-inducing groove is sure to warm up the room, even if you sing it in front of people who don’t know the song! With a freshness that also evokes its era, this pleasantly off-balance quality will leave a strong impression on younger listeners who haven’t encountered Senri Oe’s music before.
Christmas Time in Blue -Whistling on the Holy Night-Sano Motoharu
A stylish Christmas song by rock singer Motoharu Sano that would perfectly suit glittering holiday streetscapes and the chic vibes of overseas Christmas markets.
Sano, who began his career just as today’s people in their 50s were growing into adulthood, released this track in 1985, and it has been reissued many times since.
On Christmas Eve in 1990, a broadcast even showed him performing the song at Tokyo Disneyland.
Its cool, Western-influenced, sophisticated sound—unfamiliar to many listeners at the time—was strikingly fresh.
If you can sing it with swagger, you’re guaranteed certified “ikioji” status!
Someday Merry ChristmasB’z
A track included on the 1992 album FRIENDS.
This song is surely a Christmas tune everyone knows, yet it was surprisingly never released as a single.
Still, it ranked sixth in a fan poll to decide tracks for a best-of album and was featured in a Pepsi-Cola commercial—proof of how long and widely it has been loved, and how remarkable the song truly is.
The day it stops being loveB’z
This song, included on the mini-album “FRIENDS” released in December 1992, is set by the winter seaside and portrays the moment when “liking” turns into “love,” along with the bittersweet feelings that come with the relationship changing again from there.
It conveys the swirl of unspoken emotions through a rich arrangement centered on guitar, strings, and piano.
How about singing a lyrical, adult romance for Christmas? Let it bring back memories of a bittersweet love from long ago.
Holy Night -Silent Night for Two-THE ALFEE
This piece, included on the 1987 album “U.K.
Breakfast,” is THE ALFEE’s first Christmas song.
It enchantingly portrays a quiet moment spent with a lover on a snowy night.
Romantic scenes—the glow of candlelight, the holy-night cityscape, and a special time shared by just the two of you—resonate deeply.
Singing it may bring back memories of the excitement you felt looking forward to a Christmas date with your sweetheart.
