When it comes to classic Christmas songs, this is the one.

It plays every year—there’s hardly a year you don’t hear it.

In fact, it was released in 1983.

It’s amazing how the melody hasn’t faded at all, even though the song is over 30 years old.

Toshiki Kadomatsu - ILE AIYE ~ Let’s Form a Circle and Dance (30th Anniversary Live)
Let's be amazed together in WA ~Ire Aie~AGHARTA

A song from AGHARTA, a project led by singer-songwriter Toshiki Kadomatsu, released in April 1997.

It was featured on NHK’s music program “Minna no Uta,” and later chosen as a theme song for the 1998 Nagano Olympics.

A cover version by the idol group V6 was also produced, and it became a major hit.

It’s the kind of track that simply makes you feel happy just by listening, and there aren’t any particularly difficult parts in the vocal melody, so go ahead and have everyone at the karaoke join in for a big sing-along and enjoy it!

To the moon, of all placesOLEDICKFOGGY

This is a signature song by “OLEDICKFOGGY,” a band that has been steadily rising to prominence, partly thanks to all the members appearing live in the film Crows Explode.

The rock sound blends beautifully with instruments like accordion and banjo, making it an extremely pleasant track.

A cool song that you’d want a man to sing.

Get WildTM NETWORK

This is TM NETWORK’s 10th single overall, released in April 1987.

It was produced with the intention of being used as the ending theme for the anime City Hunter, which is why it was crafted into a very fast-paced, driving track.

In addition to having a very singable tempo, the vocal melody stays within a range that’s relatively easy for most people to sing, which is a key feature.

The melody is also highly impactful and easy to remember, making it a great choice to sing casually at karaoke.

When you sing it, just be sure to lock into the rhythm and deliver it powerfully, like in the original recording!

This is Kobukuro’s 11th single, released in May 2005.

It was reportedly created as the theme song for the NTV drama “Ruri no Shima.” From the arrangement and sound of the backing track to the vocals by the two members of Kobukuro, it’s a beautiful ballad overflowing with a very gentle and soft atmosphere.

The vocal melody contains nothing flashy; it’s very straightforward and beautiful, making it extremely easy to remember and sing.

When you sing it, try to create a clear contrast between the parts that are sung powerfully—such as the chorus—and the other sections.

I LOVE YOUOzaki Yutaka

Yutaka Ozaki – 'I Love You' (Osaka Stadium 1985)
I LOVE YOUOzaki Yutaka

This is singer-songwriter Yutaka Ozaki’s 11th single in total, released in March 1991.

Among the singles released during his lifetime, it became the best-selling track.

Musically, it features a simple, piano-centered backing track over which Ozaki’s somewhat rough-edged vocals deliver wistful lyrics—a combination that, I believe, resonated with listeners and helped drive its huge success.

For karaoke, most of the song is quite easy to sing, but in the latter half of the chorus there’s a brief jump to a higher pitch where you’ll need to switch to falsetto, so try to sing that part with care.

Singing it in powerful chest voice there can bring out a different kind of appeal as well, so if you’re confident with high notes, give it a try.

Pure Love SongShonan no Kaze

This is Shonan no Kaze’s fifth single, released in March 2006.

The contrast between the beautifully arranged backing track and the slightly rough-sounding rap parts creates a superb balance.

When you pick this for karaoke, don’t worry about “singing it well”—just enjoy the rap sections however you like! The chorus melody is simple, easy to sing, and easy to remember, so feel free to choose it and have fun.

You can split the parts with friends who are there, or sing it solo—either way works.

It’s a song you can enjoy in many different ways!
