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.
I don’t want to get out of my futon.Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai
I’ve never met anyone who couldn’t relate to this song.
“I Don’t Want to Get Out of the Futon” is a track included on Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai’s 2018 single Fuyuban.
It has a laid-back tempo, and the vocals are almost spoken; midway through, a death growl bursts in as emotion takes over.
That part is also a huge crowd-pleaser at karaoke.
I’m sure the morning after singing or listening to this, the song will be looping in everyone’s heads (lol).
Snow MenHoshino Gen
The title is “Snow Men,” but there aren’t any words in the lyrics that directly evoke “winter.” This song is included on Gen Hoshino’s fourth album, YELLOW DANCER, released in 2015.
With its seductive vibe and slow tempo, it’s definitely easy to sing at karaoke—and a track that really lets you showcase your vocals.
Gen Hoshino’s songs are popular at karaoke, so there’s a chance of overlapping picks, but wouldn’t it be cool to take a bold shot with this one?
