Recommended for people in their 50s! Best Christmas karaoke songs

Kai BandAnna

12 Yoshihiro Kai 1989 "Anna"

A classic by Kai Band released while people now in their 50s were in their youth, back in 1979.

Amazingly, the intro guitar is said to have been played by singer-songwriter Shogo Hamada! The lyrics depict a reunion with a former lover and a desire to rekindle their love.

Comparing their love to the light of a Christmas candle, the song is also popular as a Christmas tune.

It was remade and re-released in 2012 as “Anna -2012-.” Since the song includes a specific name, it’s easy to create parody versions, and for those who grew up with it, it’s likely quite easy to sing even in their 50s.

Winter GardenMatsuda Seiko

Seiko Matsuda - Winter Garden

Seiko Matsuda was the ultimate female idol during the youth of people now in their 50s.

A perfect Seiko Matsuda song for Christmas karaoke is Winter Garden from the album North Wind.

Although it’s an album track, it fully captures the essence of idol-era Seiko Matsuda.

The lyrics sweetly portray spending Christmas with a lover.

It’s great for women to channel Seiko and sing it, and of course it’s also perfect for men to sing while reminiscing about the days when they were die-hard fans!

One of the classic Christmas songs, Kinki Kids’ “Cinderella Christmas,” was released in 1998 as a double A-side single together with “Happy Happy Greeting.” Kinki Kids have other Christmas songs as well, but this one stands out as a signature track that’s loved by many.

Together…MAX

MAX, together...

MAX is a great recommendation for two women in their 50s to sing together! This song doesn’t have intense choreography, so you can sing it calmly while staying true to your mature, elegant selves.

Sing it while reminiscing about the bittersweet romances of back then, your current love, and the heartbreaking loves you’ve experienced so far!
