Recommended Karaoke Songs for High School Students at Christmas

Tears, light snowNiji no Conquistador

[MV] Niji no Conquistador “Namida, Awayuki” (NijiCon)

How about a song by Niji no Conquistador, commonly known as NijiCon? It’s crafted with a sweet-and-sour worldview packed with classic winter youth moments like “scarves” and “snowboarding.” Perfect for the Christmas season! Lyrics and composition are by Takashi Asano, who has worked on many idol songs.

It’s a gentle winter tune, but there’s no way a group of high school friends wouldn’t get hyped singing it at karaoke! It might be fun for everyone to sing together.

Santa ClausELLEGARDEN

Ellegarden-Santaclaus Live

Santa Claus, a song released by the renowned rock band ELLEGARDEN, is a moving piece that captures the pure desire to give even a thousand gifts for someone you care about.

While they’re known for their energetic, instrument-driven performances, part of their appeal lies in their poignant lyrics.

The intense soundscape paired with heartrending words creates a blend that conveys both momentum and helpless yearning.

The wish to give a present—cheap or even a fake—might just be a form of genuine love.

It’s a highly recommended track whether you want to fire up a karaoke session or lean into your emo feelings.

Christmasamazarashi

amazarashi 'Christmas'

A resolute, core-driven singing voice pierces the chest.

It’s a rock band whose emotional musicality grabs listeners’ hearts and never lets go—amazarashi.

This track is included on their second mini-album, One Room Epic, released in 2010.

Unlike a typical “Christmas song,” it’s strongly message-oriented.

It makes you reflect—what does happiness really mean? When you sing amazarashi’s songs, all kinds of emotions well up from within, don’t they? Give this a listen when you want a Christmas that’s a little different from the usual.

HappinessEito

Happiness

Let’s spend this once-a-year happy day with smiles along with this song! Sung by singer-songwriter Eito, who became known throughout Japan with the mega-hit “Perfume,” it was released digitally in 2020.

This is an AI cover version of the classic.

The beautiful sound of the strings resonates, giving it a holy-night kind of vibe, doesn’t it? Since the song itself is famous, it should be easy to sing at karaoke with anyone.

You and your friends might even end up singing it together as a chorus.

Christmas WishAmuro Namie

Christmas Wish / (Lyric Video)

How about trying a slightly more mature Christmas song with English lyrics? It’s a track by Namie Amuro, who sang numerous hits like “CAN YOU CELEBRATE?” and “Hero,” released in 2016 and included on her 2017 best-of album “Finally.” The sound arrangement incorporating bell-like tones gives it a lovely wintry feel.

And the feelings woven into the lyrics—waiting for a beloved person to come home—are truly heart-fluttering.

It might even be a little helpful for studying English!
