Its bright, catchy melody and lyrics that paint Christmas scenes make it irresistibly singable and fun.

Can’t Wait for Christmas (Snowman Version)Watanabe Misato
Released in November 1991, this song by Misato Watanabe is a Christmas-themed arrangement of a track from her album Lucky.
It was featured in a Meiji Life Insurance commercial, in which Watanabe herself also appeared.
The lyrics romantically portray a budding love amid wintry scenes—silver-white ski slopes and gondolas.
Many listeners may be reminded of their younger days, nervously enjoying a Christmas date.
It’s sure to be a hit at karaoke!
Xmas Santaayaka
Released digitally in November 2020, Ayaka’s first Christmas song is a love song that uses Santa Claus as a motif while gently weaving together the warmth of winter and feelings for a loved one.
Characterized by sparkling arrangements and layered choral work, it conveys both the excitement of Christmas and a faint sense of wistfulness.
Alongside the digital release, it was also sold as a Christmas card with a music card, and the cover features artwork by miniature photographer Tatsuya Tanaka.
It’s also heartwarming that the title was chosen by Ayaka’s eldest daughter.
With UTA brought on as arranger for the first time, the track achieves a soft sound incorporating guitar and cello.
It’s perfect not only as BGM for Christmas parties, but also for a quiet evening spent with someone special.
crimsonX JAPAN
X JAPAN’s famous and high-pitched song “Kurenai” starts off so relaxed that you might find yourself thinking, “Is this really that song?” For the record, that’s exactly what I thought the first time I heard it (lol).
It might be easier for women to sing in the original key, but it’s quite high for men! Toshl’s vocals are truly incredible—he not only growls but also maintains solid high tones throughout.
The key to hitting high notes is your core.
If your body wobbles, your voice won’t project forward, so make sure to support from your lower abdomen (tanden).
There are parts that feel like shouting, but if you actually just shout, you’ll wreck your throat.
Try to resonate in your head with a “Kyaa!” kind of image instead.
This is definitely a song you’ll want to add to your karaoke repertoire!
Kurashiki, alone in the rainKouzai Kaori
Set against a rainy backdrop reminiscent of Kurashiki’s Bikan Historical Quarter, this piece portrays the aching heart of a woman as sung by Kaori Kozai.
It poignantly narrates the image of a woman who keeps waiting in the rain for someone whose arrival is uncertain, intertwining her longing with the concrete place name of Kurashiki.
The song was included in March 2008 as the B-side to the single “Kazekoi Uta.” With its relaxed tempo, it’s easy to sing; those who can delicately convey breathy nuances will be able to savor the world of this work even more deeply.
Christmas LoversFLYING KIDS
A Christmas number from FLYING KIDS wrapped in a soulful vibe.
Released as a single in 1995, it was used in a Kansai Cellular commercial.
The Hammond organ riff is distinctive, and the James Jamerson–style bass line drives the groove! The lyrics, which sing of romantic wishes, heighten that special Christmas mood.
Highly recommended if you want to enjoy Christmas with friends or someone special!
