When it comes to Mariah Carey songs that are best known among Japanese people and adored by women in their 40s, I think it has to be “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” It was used in the TV drama “29-sai no Christmas,” which I believe boosted its recognition in Japan.

The music video plays often during the Christmas season, and every time I see it, I think, “Mariah Carey was still slim back then.”

Mariah Carey’s signature song, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Although this piece is often cited as a difficult song, it’s not without singable elements.

The tricky part is mainly the slow-tempo opening; once the beat kicks in and the tempo picks up, the kind of wide-interval vocal runs heard in the intro appear less frequently.

Even so, the overall difficulty remains on the higher side, but given its top-tier recognition and popularity, it’s well worth the challenge.
