[2026] Songs You’ll Want to Sing in the Cold Season! Recommended Winter Tracks for Men (61–70)
somedaySaucy Dog
For those who want to sing songs by a younger-generation rock band, I recommend this signature track by Saucy Dog.
The lyrics candidly portray the lingering feelings of a man who’s been told it’s over—so frank they might even come off as downright pathetic, yet that’s exactly what resonates with so many listeners.
The setting is winter, which makes the heartbreak feel all the more poignant.
And those heartrending lyrics ride on a tear-jerking melody, so you might find yourself getting choked up while singing it.
white breathCHEMISTRY
The 13th single by CHEMISTRY, a twin-vocal unit formed by two singers selected through the male vocalist audition on the audition show ASAYAN, with each member also active as a solo artist.
Chosen as the theme song for Suntory Whisky “Kakubin,” the track’s gently enveloping mood evokes a wintry sky.
With CHEMISTRY’s signature beautiful harmonies and a wintery atmosphere, it’s a perfect number for the Christmas season.
It’s also a great karaoke pick for men—be sure to try recreating those stunning harmonies.
Santa ClausELLEGARDEN
A song by ELLEGARDEN, a rock band whose members are all skilled musicians active in other bands as well, continuing to influence numerous groups to this day.
It’s included on their first album, “DON’T TRUST ANYONE BUT US,” and—as the title suggests—it’s a perfect number for the Christmas season.
With singable pitch and a catchy, easy-to-remember melody, it’s great for karaoke.
However, because higher notes come in during the latter half, lower the key if it’s too difficult.
This rock tune is recommended for men, with its energetic rock sound sure to heat up karaoke sessions even in the cold season.
Snow Magic FantasySEKAI NO OWARI
This is the seventh single by SEKAI NO OWARI, a mixed-gender four-piece rock band, written specifically as the 2013 CM song for JR SKISKI.
The processed tones of instruments typically used in classical music create a majestic impression, while the band’s signature fantasy-style arrangement evokes a sparkling Christmas atmosphere.
Because the melody sits in a relatively low key overall, it’s easy for men to sing, making it a great pick for winter karaoke.
With its rich, full-bodied sound, it feels great to sing and is a winter song that will lift both you and everyone around you.
Winter IllusionAcid Black Cherry
Acid Black Cherry’s “Fuyu no Maboroshi,” formed around yasu, formerly of Janne Da Arc, is recommended for those confident in their high range.
The chorus uses a high A in chest voice, which can be quite challenging for male singers.
Because of that, the sense of accomplishment when you practice thoroughly and make it to the end should be great.
Also, the falsetto parts go up to a high C, which is above that A, so be sure to practice so you can sing those sections solidly as well!
Winter WhistleSukima Suichi
From upbeat pop numbers with a sense of sprint like “Zenryoku Shonen” to poignant ballads like “Kanade,” Sukima Switch is a musical duo with a wide range of hit songs.
This is their fourth single overall.
While the melody feels light and lively, the expansive sound created by piano and strings gives it a unique atmosphere.
The song progresses with a complex melody featuring bouncy rhythms and falsetto, but it’s catchy enough that once you learn it, you can sing it well.
With an arrangement that evokes a wintry sky, it’s a perfect pick for winter karaoke and a great recommendation for male singers.
Christmas EveYuuri
It’s nice to sing a bittersweet breakup song, isn’t it? One I recommend is Yuri’s “Christmas Eve.” It’s a ballad included on his second album, “Ni.” The lyrics depict a man who visits places filled with memories of his ex on Christmas Eve, wishing to see her again.
A highlight is how his feelings are expressed through various metaphors.
The humming and intonation are also striking, so keep those in mind when you sing it.
