Christmas cardAina ji Endo
This number, written by Noriyuki Makihara, is Aina The End’s first Christmas song and was included on her November 2024 album “RUBY POP.” Chosen as the image song for the Tokyo Christmas Market 2024, it also made headlines when it premiered at the lighting ceremony.
Its gentle, warm melody and lyrics overflowing with feelings for someone special will leave listeners with a cozy glow.
Aina herself said she was moved to tears when she read the lyrics.
Sing it at karaoke with family or friends, and you’re sure to feel even more of the Christmas warmth.
In a calm, intimate atmosphere, try singing your feelings for that special someone.
All I Want For Christmas Is YouKimetsu no Yaiba MMD
This is a fan-made MMD video where characters from the hit anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba sing and dance to classic Christmas songs.
Tanjiro, Nezuko, and the Hashira appear one after another, and the choral staging—like weaving a harmony—is dazzling.
The Christmas-themed backdrops, such as snowy landscapes and illuminations, along with the inventive camera work, make it a joy to watch.
Released on platforms like YouTube, it’s highly praised by fans as a video that lets you feel both love for the characters and the festive holiday spirit at the same time.
It’s perfect for gatherings of kids who love Demon Slayer or for family karaoke time.
If you sing while channeling your favorite character, it’s sure to be a hit!
youKōda Kumi
I think there will be more chances to go to karaoke at year-end parties to forget the unpleasant and tough things that happened this year.
If you went through a breakup this year yourself, or someone in your group did, how about singing Kumi Koda’s “you”? From the intro, it’s a heartbreak ballad that sinks deep into your heart.
The lyrics delicately capture a woman’s feelings, so whether you’re singing or listening, you’re sure to relate.
Sing your heart out, let your emotions flow, and wash those painful memories clean away!
White LoversKuwata Keisuke
This song is memorable for its music video, where Keisuke Kuwata sings and plays the piano as snow falls.
It’s often heard around town in winter and at Christmas, and somehow it’s a song you find yourself wanting to listen to.
In the MV and TV performances, Kuwata plays the piano, but on the CD recording the pianist is actually his wife, Yuko Hara—also a member of Southern All Stars! The lyrics are a touch bittersweet, recalling an unforgettable love amid the melancholy mood of winter.
Kuwata’s crisp, powerful vocals bring a wonderfully rich flavor to it.
Whether you’re nursing a broken heart or not, let’s sing this winter-evoking song with all our heart.
Winter Fantasykazan
Released in 1995 as Cousin’s third single.
The song was used in a Sapporo Beer “Fuyu Monogatari” commercial, reached No.
8 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, and became Cousin’s biggest hit single.
It’s a masterpiece that evokes the duo’s clear, beautiful vocals and the magical imagery of snow.
The straightforward, beautiful melody line should feel very pleasant to sing.
When singing it at karaoke, it’s great if a man and a woman can perform it as a duet!

Snow SmileBUMP OF CHICKEN
A classic BUMP winter song that captures both the chill and the warmth of the season.
It’s beloved not only by long-time BUMP fans but also by many others.
The lyrics portray two adorable characters who turn the cold, harsh image of winter into something positive.
The sparkling tones evoke softly falling snow and gently swaying Christmas decorations—so charming! It has a cuteness that makes not only men but women want to sing it, too.
The tempo is relaxed, so even those who aren’t confident at karaoke will find it easy to sing.
snow dropL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
The exhilarating, uptempo pop-rock track “snow drop” is a beloved winter song by L’Arc~en~Ciel, a rock band often described as visual kei.
Its romantic lyrics are wonderful, and its fresh vibe—stripping away the harder edges often associated with visual kei—may be one of the keys to its popularity.
Their songs, well-loved across generations, are also easy to sing at karaoke! I think this is a number that goes over well not only with those who’ve listened to L’Arc before, but also with people hearing them for the first time.
