horizonback number
Suiheisen is a song that back number wrote for the high school students who were supposed to compete in the 2020 Inter-High, which was canceled.
When it was released on YouTube in 2020, it drew a lot of attention, and it was officially released again in 2021 to celebrate the return of the Inter-High the following year.
It’s back number’s fourth digital single and even reached No.
1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100.
The lyrics, filled with heartfelt support for high schoolers, make it a moving rock ballad—so why not sing it at karaoke to wrap up the year?
Winter Giftmosao.
Speaking of karaoke in December, you can’t help wanting to sing winter songs, right? This track is a lovely love song that warmly portrays a winter romance.
Mosawo’s gentle vocals skillfully capture both the snowy cityscape and the feelings of someone in love.
Released in November 2020, it’s a seasonally rich piece with string arrangements that really shine.
Sing it at a Christmas party or year-end karaoke get-together, and you’re sure to have a heartwarming time.
It’s perfect for making winter memories by singing together with your partner or friends.
Harmony of MidwinterNakajima Mika with Fujimaki Ryota
Singer-songwriter Mika Nakashima, whose clear, translucent vocals continue to captivate fans.
The analog single “Mahfuyu no Harmony,” released under the name Mika Nakashima with Ryota Fujimaki, was produced as part of the celebrations for Nakashima’s 20th debut anniversary.
The transparent ensemble featuring piano and strings evokes a warmth that feels unique to the cold season.
It’s a gem with a soothing harmony between two singer-songwriters, each known for their own winter classics—perfect for a duet at karaoke during the Christmas season.
WISHarashi
If you go to karaoke with your partner in December, I definitely recommend singing Arashi’s “WISH.” It’s the group’s 15th single, released in 2005—a love song that’ll put you in a happy mood when you sing it.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Boys Over Flowers” starring Arashi member Jun Matsumoto, and it reached No.
1 on the Oricon singles chart.
Its upbeat, bright sound and Christmas-evoking lyrics make it perfect for winter karaoke!
MHamasaki Ayumi
A karaoke song I highly recommend for December is “M” by Ayumi Hamasaki.
The lyrics make it a grand love song perfect for the Christmas season, adorning that holy night.
It starts softly, builds through the first verse, and swells into the chorus with dynamic contrast, making it really satisfying to sing! When the key goes up at the end, it feels amazing if you power through it.
Don’t be shy—channel your inner Ayumi Hamasaki and sing it out with pride.
Before winter endsShimizu Shota
When it comes to heart-wrenching winter love songs, you can’t leave this one out.
Released in December 2011, it resonated with many thanks to Shota Shimizu’s soulful vocals and lyrics centered on a long-distance relationship.
The belief that hearts remain connected despite the distance seeps in deeply, enhanced by the emotionally rich melody.
The loneliness and ache of thinking about a lover far away, along with the powerful wish to reunite, are expressed beautifully.
It’s perfect not only for karaoke but also for conveying your feelings to someone special.
Especially recommended for those separated from their partner or anyone holding someone dearly in their heart.
Silent EveKarashima Midori
Silent Eve, a signature song by Midori Karashima released in 1990.
At the time, it was the theme song for the TV drama Christmas Eve, and together with the drama it became a huge hit.
Women of the generation who watched the drama back then and remember the song’s success have probably sung it at karaoke at least once.
It’s a love song that expresses the pain of a sad romance; the lyrics evoke the chill of winter and heighten the sense of poignancy.
Try singing it gently to enhance the winter mood.
