powder snowRemioromen
When it comes to winter songs, Remioromen’s “Konayuki” practically always makes an appearance.
Countless people have belted out its soaring chorus at karaoke.
It also drew attention for being used as an insert song in the drama “1 Litre of Tears.” Overflowing with love, the song expresses a desire to keep the “loneliness” that lives in a loved one’s heart at bay by being together.
The vocal range is quite wide within a single track, so it’s a challenging song to sing—but as long as you can nail the chorus, you’re good.
Of course you can sing it solo, but it’s also great to sing it with friends, as if letting out a cry from the heart!
orionYonezu Kenshi
Starting with “Lemon,” Kenshi Yonezu’s songs are the kind you want to sing stylishly at karaoke.
Among his tracks, the one perfect for winter karaoke is “orion,” which even has a winter constellation in its title.
It was used as the ending theme for the anime March Comes in Like a Lion.
Just like the Orion constellation is formed by connecting several stars, the song carries a wish for the bond with someone important to remain connected and never drift apart.
It’s recommended not only for lovers or someone you like, but also for karaoke with friends and family you want to stay connected with forever!
Winter is starting.Makihara Noriyuki
As the title suggests, this is a Noriyuki Makihara number that truly captures the very start of winter.
Beloved by many as one of Mackey’s signature winter songs, it’s also been covered by artists like Every Little Thing and Minami Kizuki.
It sings about a couple’s warm relationship that continues even as winter begins—pairing outfits bought with the hope of staying together through summer, autumn, winter, and all the seasons to come.
Just like the title says, it’s perfect for singing at karaoke when winter starts! That said, its melody has a cozy feel that evokes winter scenes spent in a warm room, so it’s of course great to sing in the heart of winter, too!
Snow BlossomNakajima Mika
Even years after its release, you can hear it in all sorts of settings as a classic winter song once the season arrives.
In addition to being used as a Meiji sweets commercial song that Mika Nakashima herself appeared in, it’s been covered by many artists including Hideaki Tokunaga.
The melody and lyrics both vividly convey the chill of a snowy landscape, so when you sing it, it might be fun to try turning off the karaoke heating on purpose!
You and the slopesSHISHAMO
When it comes to winter songs by popular artists these days, I bet many people think of this track by SHISHAMO.
The lyrics are just so cute—they’ll make your heart flutter! The song portrays bittersweet feelings of love in a touching way, but the overall vibe is super lively, so I think it’s perfect for karaoke and will get everyone hyped.
I especially recommend it for students!
IlluminationSEKAI NO OWARI
A song chosen as the theme for the drama Legal V: Ex-lawyer Shoko Takanashi, starring Ryoko Yonekura.
It depicts beautiful scenes of colorful illuminations filling a snow-covered city.
Based on its lyrics, it’s perfect for Christmas karaoke during the winter season.
After you sing it, be sure to enjoy the city’s beautiful illuminations on your way home!
ReunionNEW!LiSA×Uru
A ballad that gently accompanies the feelings of thinking about a loved one you can’t see as winter’s chill deepens.
Born from the YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE in a miraculous collaboration, it was produced by Ayase, the composer of YOASOBI.
The harmonies woven by LiSA, with her overwhelming vocal power, and Uru, with her enveloping voice, warmly fill the listener’s heart.
Conveying the message that we’re connected even when apart, this piece is perfect for the season.
If friends with different vocal timbres split the parts and sing together, you’ll be able to immerse yourselves even more deeply in the song’s dramatic world.
