Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

Many people in their 30s—active professionals who coach team members in their 20s while skillfully coordinating with managers in their 40s and 50s—often face plenty of stressful moments.

If you’re someone who blows off steam with karaoke, you’re probably also attending Christmas events and year-end parties.

This article rounds up songs perfect for 30-somethings to sing at karaoke during Christmas.

We focus on the latest hits while also introducing timeless classics later on, so you’ll be covered for karaoke with a wide range of age groups.

Merry ChristmasBUMP OF CHICKEN

BUMP OF CHICKEN『Merry Christmas』Full Ver.

Merry ChristmasBUMP OF CHICKEN

For those in their 30s, BUMP OF CHICKEN is probably right on the nose for your generation, isn’t it? This song was released in 2009, and its narrative lyrics, so characteristic of Motoo Fujiwara, are striking.

It carries a certain wistfulness while also conveying a happy vibe.

It’s a soft, glittering song that’s perfect for Christmas, so I recommend singing it at karaoke around this time of year.

Just be aware that the track is nearly seven minutes long, so keep that in mind when you choose it at karaoke!

We are.Do As Infinity

We are.Do As Infinity

Here’s a winter song I recommend when you want to feel sparkling and positive: “We are” by Do As Infinity.

Released as a single in 2000, it uses shooting stars as its concept and sings about the miracle of meeting someone.

It may not be a straightforward Christmas song, but there’s an English lyric near the end that depicts the holy night.

The track is packed with D.A.I.’s pop sensibilities, and Tomiko Van’s expansive vocals feel so pleasant you might just swoon.

The guitar riff strikes a perfect balance between stylish and approachable, and the strings add to a light, exhilarating sense of momentum—making it great not only for karaoke, but also highly recommended for a drive!

This song, included on an album released in 2002, should be familiar to many thirty-something fans of Japanese rock.

It’s packed with ELLEGARDEN’s signature charm—catchy, irresistibly singable melodies and dynamic shifts that keep the song exciting.

If you’re going to karaoke with fellow rock lovers, this is the perfect track to get everyone hyped! Even teens and people in their twenties who didn’t listen to them in real time know their songs, so you can all enjoy it together.

Song of a Winter DayGReeeeN

GReeeeN is a four-member male vocal group that enjoys immense popularity for their songs encompassing a wide musical range and their distinctive choral work.

“Fuyu no Aru Hi no Uta,” included on their third album Salt and Pepper, is a Christmas song featuring a lyrical melody and delicate piano tones that feel soothing.

Its catchy melody makes it easy to remember, and the relaxed tempo makes it easy to sing at karaoke.

With interwoven melodies in different keys, it’s a number you can enjoy singing together with friends at Christmas.

JUDY AND MARY - Christmas

ChristmasJUDY AND MARY

If you were someone who listened to a lot of rock band songs back then, I think there are many who loved JUDY AND MARY! And when it comes to their Christmas songs, it has to be this one! It was released not only on an album but also as a single, so I think many people know it.

Christmas songs often have the image of being gentle ballads, but this one has a very bright feel, doesn’t it? Meanwhile, the lyrics express a romantic and cute sentiment: just being able to spend Christmas together is enough to make them happy.
