era; age; time; periodNakajima Miyuki
“Jidai” is one of Miyuki Nakajima’s signature songs, released in 1975.
Company year-end parties may be attended by high-ranking people such as department heads and executive directors.
In such cases, songs by artists like Nakajima, who are well known across generations, are recommended.
“Jidai” won the Grand Prix at both the 10th Popular Song Contest Tsumagoi Finals and the 6th World Popular Song Festival in 1975.
It’s a classic that has been covered by many artists, so many people know it—making it a perfect choice for karaoke!
Snow BlossomNakajima Mika
A winter classic you can’t leave out is Yuki no Hana.
It’s one of Mika Nakashima’s signature songs and a staple for women’s karaoke.
In 2019, a film titled Yuki no Hana inspired by the song was released, with the track also serving as the theme song.
It’s a straightforward love song that depicts the joy and happiness of spending winter next to the one you love.
For men, singing the cover versions by Hideaki Tokunaga or Takeshi Tsuruno might be a better key fit.
youKōda Kumi
“you” is Kumi Koda’s 19th single, released in 2005.
It’s a poignant ballad depicting a winter heartbreak, and it reached No.
1 on the Oricon Singles Chart.
Among Koda’s songs, it’s a popular choice for karaoke.
It was also selected as a required song for the contest in the “Kumi Koda × JOYSOUND Collaboration Campaign” held in March 2021.
The music video, featuring Koda walking through the snow, is especially memorable—so if the karaoke visuals use the MV, be sure to check it out!
Starbucks, Me and You (English Ver.)Hirai Dai
Singer-songwriter Dai Hirai, who has gained popularity especially among younger generations with songs featuring heartfelt lyrics and melodies.
His 31st digital-only single, “Starbucks, Me and You (English Ver.),” is the English version of his 15th single released in 2020 as Starbucks’ first holiday collaboration song.
The contrast between its dreamy sound and soulful vocals evokes wintry scenes.
With English lyrics, it’s also a great pick for karaoke to set a nice mood—anおすすめ winter song.
DEAR…againHirose Kōmi
Among Christmas songs that are heartbreakingly moving, Kohmi Hirose’s “DEAR…again” surely comes to mind.
The song portrays a woman spending Christmas alone, single-mindedly waiting for the person she loves to come back.
Has he forgotten her, or has their relationship already gone cold? We never learn how it ends, and yet the song somehow leaves us with a sense of a sad farewell.
It’s a remake of “Dear,” a track from her third album, SUCCESS STORY, and it’s the kind of love song you’ll want to sing when you can’t be with your partner at Christmas.
