[2026] Songs to Sing in the Cold Season! Recommended Winter Tracks for Men (101–110)
meringuemakaroni enpitsu
The rock band Macaroni Enpitsu.
Their first digital-only single after their major-label debut is “Meringue.” It’s a song that likens bittersweet feelings of love and a sense of helplessness to snow—and that snow to meringue.
The arrangement starts at a slow tempo and gradually builds toward the chorus.
Because of that, it’s perfect for those who want to showcase a powerful singing voice.
Another feature of this track is its use of rhymes across various phrases.
The rhyming is quite intricate, so it’s also recommended for fans of hip-hop.
A worthless nightSakiyama Soshi
Released in December 2023, this track is positioned as a Christmas song by Soshi Sakiyama.
It features profound lyrics themed around human loneliness and sorrow, accompanied by a quiet, melancholic melody and Sakiyama’s signature delicate, emotional guitar work.
Sakiyama himself handled production, lyrics, and composition, with arranger and trackmaker Sasuke Haraguchi contributing to the arrangement.
This work can be seen as one that showcases Sakiyama’s versatility and musical talent within his career.
For karaoke, it’s recommended when you want to sink into an introspective mood or create a calm, mellow atmosphere.
Sorrow like snowHamada Shogo
Released in 1981, this song reportedly didn’t make much of a splash at the time.
When it was selected as the theme song for the 1992 TV drama “Ai to Iu Na no Moto ni” and a rearranged remake was released, it became Hamada’s first single to reach No.
1 on the Oricon chart.
The chorus in particular is a famous phrase that just about everyone can hum.
The lyrics are said to be inspired by the poet Hiroshi Yoshino’s “On a Snowy Day.”
cocoa feat. kojikojiSorane
Have you ever wished for a song you could sing at karaoke with a male friend or your boyfriend? If so, I’d like to recommend “cocoa.” It’s a track performed by Soraune and singer-songwriter kojikoji.
In the original, it’s sung as a male-female duet with harmonies, but since the key is low and the tempo is slow, it’s easy for two men to sing as well.
The lyrics are uplifting and forward-looking, offering hope for the future, so it’s also perfect for livening up the mood.
Our first special Christmas togetherSuzuki Suzuki
A song that paints a special moment for two on a winter night with gently falling snow.
Its melodic tone and heartfelt lyrics make the magic of Christmas shine even brighter.
Released in November 2023, this track has been drawing attention as Suzuki Suzuki’s new Christmas song.
The brothers’ perfectly synced harmonies vividly capture lovers’ happy moments.
The memorable chorus is easy to sing at karaoke and sure to get everyone excited.
It’s the perfect song for creating Christmas memories with someone special.
Highly recommended for those who want to spend a warm, heartwarming time at gatherings with a partner or friends.
