I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

So in this article, we’ll focus on songs that are easy to sing at karaoke and introduce tracks that are perfect for winter!

It might be best to choose songs where you can check the pitch and rhythm as you sing!

THE Toramaru Dragon “Road” FULL Music Video

loadTHE toraburyū

It’s a classic winter song that you can’t listen to without tears, the kind that tightens your chest with heartache.

With its slow tempo and repeating melody, it’s easy to learn and sing.

However, if you don’t put your feelings into it, the song won’t come across—so it’s important to sing while expressing loneliness and pain.

It’s a long song, but make sure to sing it through to the end! It’s one of those songs you can’t help but want to listen to when winter comes.

SNOW SOUND[Alexandros]

[Alexandros] – SNOW SOUND (MV)

SNOW SOUND[Alexandros]

It’s [Alexandros]’s 14th single, featured as the CM song for JR East’s 2016–2017 “JR SKISKI” campaign.

It’s a perfect winter track where you can fully savor vocalist Yohei Kawakami’s soaring high tones.

Since the chorus stays in a high register, it’s easier to sing at karaoke if you lower the key, but trying it in the original key can be fun too.

Merry XmasBoA

BoA / Meri Kuri

Merry XmasBoA

This is a song I absolutely want to sing at Christmas.

Keep the tempo slow and perform it gently, tenderly, and cutely.

The chorus goes a bit higher, but get through it with falsetto! It’s a classic that really captures the scent of winter, so it’s sure to get everyone excited.

BoA’s cuteness and the cuteness of the lyrics make your heart skip a beat.

It really makes you long for snow.
