Christmas Songs You Want to Sing at Karaoke [Rank 1–20] (1–10)
If we become loversFukushima Sayaka
A perfect song for the season when winter illuminations color the city was released in December 2025.
It’s a Christmas number by singer-songwriter Sayaka Fukushima from Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture.
The lyrics portray a love that deepens as the seasons change, with a pure desire to deliver dreams and hope—like Santa—to the one you love.
Its charm lies in a warm world view that blends sparkling winter scenes with the wish to bring smiles to someone special.
The track is included in a three-song digital release and was produced with nao.
It’s a number we especially hope those who aren’t yet a couple—but want to confess their feelings this winter—will sing!
Wonderful HolidayTakeuchi Mariya
“A Wonderful Holiday” was written for a Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial and has been beloved since 2000.
In Japan, chicken is strongly associated with Christmas, and thanks to that, this song has become quite a Christmas staple! Its light, breezy melody and charming yet grand string arrangement are delightful, making it a great pick for Christmas karaoke!
Someday Merry ChristmasB’z
One of the classic Christmas songs is B’z’s “Itsuka no Merry Christmas.” Although it was only included on the album FRIENDS and never released as a single, it’s a Christmas song loved by many, not just fans.
Because of that, it’s widely known and a great pick for Christmas karaoke! While you might expect it to depict a warm Christmas scene, the song actually sings about the warmth of a Christmas once spent in the past.
Unlike B’z’s hard rock tracks, it’s a relaxed ballad, making it easier to try even for those who usually feel, “I can’t sing B’z.” It’s especially recommended for a guys’ Christmas karaoke session.

Powder Snow ~A Winter That Never Ends~Sandaime Jē Sōru Burazāzu fromu Eguzairu Toraibu

Released in November 2012 as their eighth single, it was used as the ending theme for the TV information program “Onegai! Ranking” and as a commercial song for ABC-MART.
The protagonist’s feelings—continuing to think of someone even while burdened by emotions that can’t reach them—are expressed through a subtle piano and strings melody.
Try singing it with all your heart at winter karaoke.
Merry XmasBoA
Meri Kuri is a classic Christmas song by BoA, a singer from South Korea.
The chorus is beautiful and catchy—you’ve probably heard it before.
When you think of the feel of a Christmas song, this track embodies it perfectly! The falsetto parts in the chorus aren’t easy for everyone to sing, but it’s a masterpiece—give it a try!
Christmas LoversFLYING KIDS
A Christmas number from FLYING KIDS wrapped in a soulful vibe.
Released as a single in 1995, it was used in a Kansai Cellular commercial.
The Hammond organ riff is distinctive, and the James Jamerson–style bass line drives the groove! The lyrics, which sing of romantic wishes, heighten that special Christmas mood.
Highly recommended if you want to enjoy Christmas with friends or someone special!
I’m never falling in love with a band guy again.Gōruden Bonbā
Golden Bomber is a four-member band that created the new genre of visual kei air band and has gained popularity with provocative performances and high-quality songs.
The title track of their seventh single, “I Won’t Fall in Love with a Bandman Anymore,” features a band sound highlighted by sentimental piano tones that leaves a strong impression.
The lyrics, which depict lingering feelings for someone after a breakup, are all the more heartrending when set against the cold scenery of winter.
The melody is easy to sing at karaoke, but be aware that the overall key is on the higher side.
