The tempo is slow, so it’s easy to sing at karaoke!

Merry XmasBoA94rank/position

One of BoA’s signature songs and a classic winter tune, “Meri Kuri.” It’s a love song that vividly evokes the warm relationship with a boyfriend, and it’s also a wonderful song that expresses gratitude toward him.

Of course, singing it at karaoke is great, and as a guy, I think it would be really heartwarming to feel your girlfriend’s love coming through the song.

But it’s also romantic and lovely to listen to it and hum along while taking a walk together or on the way home.

It’s a winter love ballad that everyone has heard at least once, so it leaves a good impression on any man.
