[2026] Karaoke Songs to Sing in December! Recommended J-POP for Christmas and Year-End Parties (81–90)
Together…MAX
For those who remember MAX at the peak of their career, many of you probably also recall how vibrant karaoke culture was—and how often you sang their songs.
While MAX has many danceable tracks, their 15th single “Issho ni…” released in 1999 is a slower number that conveys a woman’s slightly sorrowful feelings.
It’s a love song that makes you wonder: is it just sad, or is there a bright future ahead for the two of them? The key isn’t very high, so it’s an easy song to sing.
snow jamRin Oto
A signature song by Rin-ne, a Reiwa-era artist who broke out from the internet.
With a chill vibe, the track felt trendy and drew attention right after its release.
While it’s a hip-hop tune centered on rap, its laid-back feel and beautiful melody are especially appealing.
The lyrics use everyday language, making it very approachable and easy to sing at karaoke without putting on airs.
The flow of the words feels great when you say them out loud, so it’s a song that’s really fun to sing!
White LoveSPEED
Among SPEED’s catalog, “White Love” is one of their most popular songs.
Released in 1997 as SPEED’s fifth single, it became their biggest hit and is also well known as a classic winter song.
People who were the same generation as SPEED at the time, as well as those older and younger, all know this track—it’s guaranteed to fire up any karaoke session.
Before you know it, the chorus turns into a massive sing-along—it’s that kind of song.
Because it’s a cold night…TRF
When it comes to winter-recommended songs by TRF, the five-member dance and vocal group, it has to be “Samui Yoru Dakara…” released in 1993.
It reached No.
8 on the Oricon Singles Chart, becoming their first single to break into the top ten.
The song is uptempo and features relatively high notes, so it’s by no means easy to sing, but if you can pull it off, it’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped.
Definitely give it a try at karaoke!
Santa Girl feat. nishinaWurtS
It’s a heartwarming love song full of winter vibes.
The harmony woven by WurtS and Nishina is wonderful, letting you fully soak in the Christmas atmosphere.
It’s included on the album “Once Upon a Revival” and was released in December 2021.
With lyrics themed around Santa Claus, it portrays the journey from first meeting to falling in love, leaving listeners with a cozy feeling.
Sing it at Christmas parties or year-end karaoke and it’s sure to liven up the mood! How about singing it with your partner or friends and enjoying a fun time together?

If you get a chance to go to karaoke between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, this is the song I really want you to sing! The intro is in English, but most of the lyrics are in Japanese, so don’t worry.
In the song, the singer looks back on the past year, recalling the good and the bad, and resolves to do their best again next year.
Meanwhile, the track itself features a soft, understated performance that feels refined and stylish.
The key might be a bit high for the average male singer, but the lyrics are perfect for a year-end party, so I highly recommend it.

DEPARTURESglobe
A quintessential winter song of the ’90s.
With total sales of about 2.28 million copies, it’s globe’s biggest hit.
It was created as the CM song for JR East featuring Yutaka Takenouchi and Makiko Esumi, and the lyrics—written by Tetsuya Komuro as an expression of feelings to a lover—captured the hearts of many.
In 2016, it was made into a music video starring Ayaka Miyoshi, which became a hot topic.
The lyrics, which sing of a woman’s aching heart as she thinks of the loved one who is no longer by her side while the snow falls silently, are truly heartrending.
Why not try singing it while embracing that emotion?
