Angel Snow

Angel Snow is a winter song that makes you feel like a kid again.

It’s the character Otome Arisugawa’s signature song and was used as an insert track in Aikatsu!, which aired from 2012 to 2016.

With a sparkling, Christmas-like vibe and a Motown-inspired sound, it’s a track that makes your heart skip.

The bouncy rhythm and cute lyrics will have you swooning in no time! It’s a perfect number to color your Christmas alongside the anime—not just for Aikatsu fans.

Santa is coming♪

The insert song “Santa Is Coming♪” from Episode 8 of the second season of the anime YuruYuri, which depicts the everyday lives of middle school girls.

In the karaoke scene, Shiori Mikami, the voice actress for Akari Akaza, performs the vocals.

Set to a rhythm that captures the excitement of the eagerly awaited Christmas season, her soaring singing unfolds with energy.

Her lively, cute delivery perfectly matches the character.

It’s a track you’ll want to enjoy with children who believe in Santa or with someone special.

Pure White SanctuaryMinori Chihara

[Official Video] Minori Chihara – Pure-White Sanctuary – 純白サンクチュアリィ

Theme song of the anime “Kiddy GiRL-AND Pilot DVD.” It was the first song Minori Chihara released after resuming her singing career.

The lyrics center on advancing toward a longed-for place—a “pure white sanctuary”—and Chihara reportedly recorded it while overlaying that theme with her own experience of being able to sing again.

A perfect pick for Christmas, it pairs her exquisitely clear vocals with a beautiful, tension-filled sound.

Mysterious JungleSister MAYO

[Haré+Guu] [OP Theme] [LOVE☆Tropicana] (Jungle wa Itsumo Hare nochi Guu / Jungle is Always Haré Then Guu / Haré+Guu)

It’s the perfect song to liven up a Christmas party.

This track is included as the coupling song on Sister MAYO’s 2001 single “LOVE☆Tropicana,” and it’s related to the anime “Haré+Guu.” Its humorous lyrics are a major draw, featuring quirky ideas like Christmas coming four times a year and a scene where they try to catch a Santa Claus with chest hair.

You’ll be drawn into its delightfully surreal world.

Why not listen to this song and enjoy a mysterious Christmas all your own?

Pretty Cure☆Happy☆Christmas

Did you know that Pretty Cure once sang a Christmas song? “Precure☆Happy☆Christmas” is included on the 2009 release Fresh Pretty Cure! Vocal Album 2 ~A Gift of Smiles~.

It’s a track that gives the classic Christmas carol “Jingle Bells” a uniquely Precure twist.

The lively arrangement instantly brightens the listener’s mood.

It’s a feel-good song perfect not only for children’s Christmas parties but also for adults who love Precure.

Christmas CarolKeroro Choir

[FULL] Keroro Choir – Ding Dong ~Cake of the Battlefield~

Sergeant Keroro is an anime that portrays the slapstick antics of Keroro, a frog-like alien from the planet Keron who aims to invade Earth, along with his comrades.

“Christmas Kerol” is an original Christmas song.

The Keronians’ comedy explodes as they scheme seriously to conquer Earth, only to fail time and again due to their sloppy execution! With the overflowing cuteness of “Christmas Carol”—no, “Christmas Kerol”—your Christmas is sure to be even more fun!
