Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

[For Junior High School Students] Recommended Christmas Songs for Karaoke [2026] (61–70)

HappinessEito

Happiness

HappinessEito

If you want to have a happy Christmas, I recommend “Happiness.” The song was originally released by AI in 2011, but in 2020 it was covered by Eito and used as the commercial song for Coca-Cola’s Winter Campaign 2020.

Compared to the original, the cover has a warmer, more acoustic feel.

The performance has a calmer vibe too, so if you prefer this version, be sure to try singing it at karaoke!

Christmas LoveNishino Kana

Christmas Love♡ Kana Nishino

Christmas LoveNishino Kana

A Kana Nishino-style Christmas song.

Since it’s mid-tempo, it might be good to slip it into a hyped-up set to change the vibe—you might suddenly grab everyone’s attention.

The lyrics can be interpreted as about a broken heart, but the overall feel of the song isn’t that sad.

The key is to channel Kana Nishino and sing without forcing it.

Our Uniform Christmas＝LOVE

=LOVE (Equal Love) / 2nd Single “Our Uniform Christmas” [MV full]

Our Uniform Christmas＝LOVE

Leading the 48 Groups is AKB48, and at the forefront of the Sakamichi series is Nogizaka46.

And of course, when it comes to =LOVE, they’re the top of the “Equal” family! Right now, Equal-family idols are on fire! Here’s the bittersweet second single from =LOVE: “Bokura no Seifuku Christmas” (Our Uniform Christmas).

Centering this track is Hitomi Takamatsu, aka “Ikorabu’s Sun.” The spoken line at the start, where she calls an upperclassman, feels a bit mature for a middle schooler.

It might be embarrassing to have everyone hear it, but please perform it proudly to the end! There’s a part in the chorus choreography where you twirl a scarf, so I’d love listeners to copy it too.

It’s the perfect song for a youthful Christmas.

On the holy nightKetsumeishi

Ketsumeishi 'On the Holy Night'

On the holy nightKetsumeishi

It’s a rap song meant to be listened to quietly.

It takes a bit of practice to perform, but it can showcase both coolness and gentleness.

Definitely give it a try.

It’s tough to sing alone, so first find a partner to perform with.

Adding your own call-and-response parts not in the original could be great, too.

On Christmas nightYUTORI-SEDAI

YUTORI-SEDAI – On Christmas Night - [Official Music Video]

On Christmas nightYUTORI-SEDAI

YUTORI-SEDAI is a rock band gaining attention mainly among Gen Z with songs themed around love.

Their 2021 release, “On Christmas Night,” portrays a moment when heartfelt emotions for a loved one overflow on that once-a-year special day.

Accompanied by a slow-tempo band performance that warms the winter chill, Ryoki Kanahara’s clear, transparent vocals resonate.

It’s a Christmas song that sings of the pure feelings of wanting to see someone you like and tell them how you feel.

Why not try singing about your emotions for your middle school crush or someone you have feelings for?
