wishsumika
It feels like the time from winter until spring is a season of meetings and farewells, doesn’t it? For karaoke in that season, I recommend trying sumika’s “Negai.” It’s especially a hit with gatherings of people around the same age—it’s topical and sure to go over well! It’s a bittersweet breakup song, and listeners will likely be riveted by the lyrics that lay out such genuine feelings.
You can enjoy the song from both a female and male perspective, but since the melody is outstanding, it’s one I’d love to hear men sing in the original key.
Winter Giftmosao.
A song by MosaO that wraps winter’s chill in heartwarming tenderness.
Released in November 2020, this track is a winter love song perfect for the Christmas season.
The string arrangement enhances the seasonal mood, while the heart-fluttering lyrics warm the listener’s heart.
A love song about feelings for someone special, it’s sure to liven up the atmosphere when sung at karaoke.
This work gently portrays the feelings of a woman in love on a winter night, offering comfort to hearts swayed by romance.
It’s also an ideal track as background music for a Christmas date or a confession.
Afterword of Winteraibii karaa
A winter ballad that portrays a love you just can’t forget.
It’s the lead track from WHITE, the fourth mini-album by Ivy Color, a piano rock band from Osaka.
The gently spun world of the song and the band’s sound wrap around an irretrievable past.
With Ivy Color’s signature beautiful tones and bittersweet romance, it’s a recommendation for fans of back number as well.
Since it’s a ballad overflowing with melancholy, it’s great for singing slowly during solo karaoke—or, given the theme, maybe even at a year-end party to help sort out your feelings.
Lingering Snowiruka
Speaking of winter, there tend to be more get-togethers like year-end parties and class reunions.
A song that never misses at karaoke on those occasions is Iruka’s “Nagori Yuki.” The original was released by Kaguya-hime in 1974, and it became a huge hit when Iruka later sang it, after which it’s been covered by many artists.
That’s why it’s popular across generations at karaoke.
It’s a crowd-pleaser for outings like karaoke with your boss or a long-overdue class reunion, so make sure to practice it as one of your go-to songs!
companion; comrade; friend; fellow; teammate; allyKetsumeishi
At first listen, this song may not sound like a winter tune.
I chose it as a popular winter song because it’s often heard at the National High School Soccer Championship.
People often say “Koshien in summer, the Championship in winter,” and for students, this is probably a song that brings back memories of winter.
O.R.I.O.N.Sandaime Jē Sōru Burazāzu fromu Eguzairu Toraibu
A once-dominating, now-nostalgic midwinter mega-anthem from Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE.
A dance-pop track that vaults beyond the galaxy atop grand, Euro-style EDM sounds.
You’ll need to sing the chorus in a pretty high register, so if you’re confident in your chops, give it a try.
If there are female fans around, it’s sure to hype up the crowd.
The call-and-response parts should be easy to throw in, too!
Embraced by the wintry windKoizumi Kyoko
Kyon-Kyon’s 20th single, “Embraced by the Wintry Wind,” was released in 1986.
It was a big hit at the time and has remained a long-running favorite, becoming one of Kyoko Koizumi’s signature songs with numerous cover versions by many artists.
The lyrics and music were written by Toshihiko Takamizawa of THE ALFEE.
The song conveys a woman’s bittersweet feelings and budding love; coupled with the title’s “kogarashi” (the cold, withering winter wind), that lonely wind seems to drive the solitude even deeper, heightening the poignancy of the number.
