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

A town where it snowsyunikōn

Request++ "A Town Where It Snows" Unicorn Karaoke-100-Points Old Man Unplugged Cover Full Lyrics

Unicorn’s 8th single, released on December 2, 1992.

Since it’s a song by Unicorn, who burst onto the scene during the late-’80s band boom, some people in their 50s today may have had fun covering this track with their bands.

According to Tamio Okuda, who wrote the lyrics and composed the music, it’s not a Christmas song but a year-end song.

But don’t worry about that—go ahead and sing it to liven up your Christmas party.

While the main theme here is singing it at karaoke, it could also be fun to sing it with a guitar in hand!

My lover is Santa ClausMatsutōya Yumi

My lover is Santa Claus

A classic song that fills the streets during the Christmas season.

Yumi Matsutoya’s “Koi-bito ga Santa Claus” (My Lover Is Santa Claus) is included on the album “SURF & SNOW,” released in December 1980.

It was also used as an insert song in the 1987 film “Take Me Out to the Snowland,” making it a memorable tune for many.

The lyrics weave together childhood memories and adult romance, carrying a warmth that resonates with listeners.

If you sing this piece—imbued with both nostalgia and freshness—at karaoke, it’s sure to light up the room.

By the time of the Christmas carolsInagaki Junichi

Junichi Inagaki "By the Time the Christmas Carol Plays"

It’s Junichi Inagaki’s 27th single, released on October 28, 1992.

It was also the theme song for the TBS drama “Homework.” These days it’s become something of a staple song for the Christmas season in Japan, but the lyrics actually express a feeling of “wanting to sort things out by around Christmas,” so it’s not really a song about Christmas itself.

It might be fun to sing it at a Christmas party while sharing that little trivia, don’t you think?

Wonderful HolidayTakeuchi Mariya

Lovely Holiday / Mariya Takeuchi [A Cappella]

The B-side track to Mariya Takeuchi’s 31st single “Nostalgia,” released in 2001.

Ever since its debut, it has been beloved as the jingle for Kentucky Fried Chicken commercials, and you’re sure to hear it every Christmas season.

Sha-la-laSazan Ōrusutāzu

Southern All Stars Sha La La

A moody Christmas song by Southern All Stars, also known as “Southern,” released as a double A-side with “Gomen ne Charlie.” The fact that it came out in 1980 really makes you feel how quickly time flies—and how amazing Southern are.

It’s also unusual that the duet with Haru Yoko becomes the single as is.

The mature lyrics—which can be read as “Since it’s Christmas night, I’d rather not think about anyone but you”—completely seal away Kuwata’s usual sense of humor.

I think this Christmas song is a classic in the tender, mellow side of Southern!
