After working as a voice trainer at a studio for seven years, I went independent in 2025. To date, I’ve taught more than 300 students. Honestly, I started teaching out of simple curiosity (lol). When I was job hunting, I stumbled across a listing for a “vocal instructor,” thought, “What is this?!” and applied on impulse. That’s how I became a teacher with zero prior knowledge—so I went through more training than anyone and studied a lot on my own. When I started teaching what I’d learned to my students, their responses were really positive, and that’s when I felt a real sense of purpose. As a teacher, I absolutely love those moments when I’m growing together with my students. As for my musical activities, I’ve been playing bass in a wind ensemble since high school and still do. I’ve also performed live in a band as a singing bassist, and sometimes I’m invited to sing as a vocalist only. Through vocal training, I want to keep using my voice and stay healthy and beautiful for years to come!

Western Music: Christmas Songs You'll Want to Sing at Karaoke (1–10)

Christmas TimeBryan Adams

Bryan Adams – Christmas Time (Lyrics)

Christmas TimeBryan Adams

Bryan Adams is a singer-songwriter who has also made a name for himself as a photographer.

He’s known for his distinctly husky voice, and his music is primarily rooted in pop rock.

“Christmas Time” is one of his holiday numbers.

Although he boasts a four-octave vocal range, this song also spans a fairly wide range, from mid2G to hihiA.

That said, the vocal line itself is very simple, with frequent repetitions.

Plus, since the key can be lowered, anyone with a decent range should be able to sing it well.

Early Christmas Morning

Early Christmas MorningCyndi Lauper

Cyndi Lauper is an artist’s artist, admired by many fellow musicians.

Because she’s a singer with a distinctive vocal quality, plenty of people may hesitate to try singing her songs, thinking they must be difficult.

That’s why I recommend Early Christmas Morning.

Crafted with a nursery rhyme–like feel reminiscent of a German folk song, this track does include a few high phrases that verge on a shout, but every other line is organized in a way that’s very easy to sing.

Night Before ChristmasSam Smith

Sam Smith – Night Before Christmas (Lyric Video)

Night Before ChristmasSam Smith

Singer-songwriter Sam Smith, known for his distinctive high-tone voice, originally focused mainly on ballads, but his musical style has evolved since around “Unholy,” and he’s now exploring a variety of genres.

His Christmas number “Night Before Christmas” is a piece imbued with a soulful vibe.

Because it’s in 3/4 time, the rhythm can be hard for Japanese listeners to feel, but the tempo is very slow and the melodic leaps aren’t extreme, so if you’re comfortable with Black music, definitely give it a try.

Sia – Everyday Is Christmas

Everyday is ChristmasSia

This is the title track from Australian singer-songwriter Sia’s album Everyday Is Christmas, released in November 2017.

Created as her first Christmas project, the album is said to have been completed in just about two weeks with producer Greg Kurstin.

It’s a poppy, glittering holiday song that celebrates the special days of Christmas, featuring bell-like decorations that evoke the feel of a winter street scene.

Its jazzy chord progressions intertwine with Sia’s distinctive, soaring vocals, instantly lifting you into the Christmas spirit just by listening!

Merry Christmas DarlingCarpenters

Merry Christmas Darling (Single Version)

Merry Christmas DarlingCarpenters

It’s a song that was released as a single in 1970.

The lyrics were written in 1946 by Frank Pooler when he was 20, and he said they were about someone he had feelings for at the time.

The song itself is a Christmas ballad with a gentle melody line, making it something you can sing in a calm manner rather than with intensity.

Since it gradually builds toward the chorus, the structure makes you naturally think, “This is the chorus.” It’s better sung with a composed, steady tone rather than by belting.

You could accent the beginning of the melody, but don’t overdo it—using a deeper, softer voice will suit the mood.

Try singing with the sensation of resonating inside your mouth!
