Winter BellBREAKERZ
Although it was the B-side to the single “LOVE FIGHTER ~Koi no Battle~,” released in November 2009, this winter classic by BREAKERZ was featured as the ending theme for Yomiuri TV’s “Joho Live Miyane-ya” and as the commercial song for Huis Ten Bosch’s “City of Lights 2009.” The lyrics delicately depict the exhilaration and anxiety of winter romance: the joy of indifference to Christmas turning into a special night after meeting someone important, the warmth of holding hands in a city glittering with illuminations, and the bittersweet ache of continuing to think of someone even when apart.
With DAIGO’s soaring vocals and a fresh arrangement featuring a co-arranger, this ballad-style track is the perfect song for a holy night spent with a loved one.
wishasmi
Asmi is a female singer-songwriter from Osaka known for her adorable vocal tone.
She’s a go-to artist for many women in their teens and early twenties.
Of all her songs, I especially recommend “wish.” Although the track is sung throughout in a cute, high tone, the overall range isn’t that wide, so it’s surprisingly easy to sing.
You might feel there’s a lot of falsetto, but if you lower the key by just one step, most women with an average vocal range can sing it entirely in chest voice.
If you’re not confident with high notes, definitely give that a try.
Sing! Christmas ~Jingle Bells~The seven members of the Straw Hat Pirates
This fun number turns the classic Christmas song “Jingle Bells” into a grand One Piece–style adventure by the Straw Hat Crew.
It mixes the thrill of a seafaring voyage with the excitement of Christmas, making you feel like you’re partying with pirates.
Sung by seven characters including Luffy, it’s sure to send any One Piece–loving elementary schooler into a frenzy! Released in 2005 and included on albums such as “ONE PIECE Character Song Carnival!!,” this track serves as an image song for the ONE PIECE anime.
Belt it out with friends at your Christmas party, and your karaoke session will be a blast!
We wish you a Merry Christmashachiwari
A classic Christmas song sung by Hachiware from the hugely popular anime Chiikawa.
With a melody every elementary school student knows and Hachiware’s adorable voice, it’s sure to be a hit at karaoke.
The lyrics are simple and easy to remember, so singing together will put everyone in the festive spirit.
It’s a piece that Chiikawa-loving kids will enjoy, and even those who don’t watch much anime can have fun with it.
Give it a try at a friends’ Christmas party or family karaoke!
Winter StoryOkamura Takako
Akiko Okamura’s winter classic “Winter Story,” released in 1996.
It was used as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s program “Kinkin no Tokoton Kōkishin,” and was also included on the album “BRAND-NEW.” Its lively arrangement and heartwarming lyrics are especially appealing.
The song portrays lovers in a snowy winter town, conveying feelings beyond words through the warmth of their hands.
Try singing it while emulating Okamura’s clear, translucent vocals, and let yourself sink into a nostalgic mood.
Winter GardenMatsuda Seiko
A gem of a Christmas song included on the 1980 album “North Wind.” Seiko Matsuda’s early-career, soaring and lustrous high notes blend with the winter air and sink into the heart.
On a street corner waiting for a date, breathing out white puffs, the flutter of excitement and the anxious feeling of waiting for him as he runs late.
The lyrics, both adorable and bittersweet, express feelings for a lover as they welcome their second winter together.
The album was her first to reach No.
1 on the Oricon charts, and its warm string and guitar arrangements beautifully color wintry scenes.
It’s a nostalgic yet refreshing winter song that, when it drifts through the city, brings back memories of a once sweet-and-sour romance.

Tomomi Nishimura, born in 1970 in Yamaguchi Prefecture, has released numerous hit songs since making her debut as a singer in 1986.
