Merry Christmas for just the two of usEchizen Ryōma (CV: Minagawa Junko)
This is a ballad included on the 2006 mini-album “PROGRESS.” Created to coincide with Ryoma Echizen’s birthday, the song carries a Christmas-like romantic atmosphere.
Lyrics and composition are by UZA, with arrangement by Tetsuo Tachibana.
The lyrics gently depict a star-studded night sky and a special moment shared by just two people, offering a glimpse of the gentleness Ryoma Echizen doesn’t usually show—its expressive emotion is especially appealing.
Listening to it on Christmas night will make it all the more heartwarming.
A Winter TaleGivun
A classic winter song performed as an insert track in the TV anime “Given,” which reached No.
1 on the digital charts.
It is included on the single “Marutsuke / Fuyu no Hanashi,” released in September 2019.
The piece expresses the weight of loneliness and the earnest determination to keep looking forward through a contrast of calm and intensity in a band sound.
Its emotional melody, where heartache and hope intersect, is deeply moving.
Please take your time and listen closely.
History MakerDEAN FUJIOKA
This is the opening theme of the anime “Yuri!!! on ICE,” which centers on figure skating.
It’s a grand piece sung in English, featuring a distinctive fusion of waltz rhythms, orchestral elements, and EDM beats.
Its lyrics offer encouragement to those who continue to chase their dreams, making it perfect for winter as we renew our resolve for the new year.
It’s a track I’d recommend to anyone who wants to reflect on their past and take a step into the future.
March in the Snowankou chiimu
This song, featured in episode 9 of the anime Girls und Panzer, is a special track that transforms a military song from the Meiji era into a modern anime song.
The original song’s worldview—frankly depicting the hardships of soldiers marching through the snow—is conveyed through the warm vocals of the five members of the Anglerfish Team.
It was included on the Deep Panzer CD desu! released in August 2013, and later on the 10th Anniversary Best Album.
It’s a quintessentially Japanese winter song.

Holy Night is a highly recommended healing song for Christmas.
Many people surely find themselves wanting to listen to it in winter.
It’s a character song from Toradora!, a romantic comedy depicting the lives of high school students, performed by Rie Kugimiya as Taiga Aisaka and Eri Kitamura as Ami Kawashima.
Its Christmas-like soundscape evokes gently falling snow and the ringing of bells.
The tender, heartwarming message that brings a smile is also wonderful, making it a soothing Christmas song.
POWDER SNOWOgata Rina (CV: Mizuki Nana)
This is a character song by Rina Ogata from the anime WHITE ALBUM.
It’s a song released in January 2010 that reinterprets the ending theme of the original game, with lyrics by Naoko Sutani, composition by Naoya Shimokawa, and arrangement by Jumpei Fujita.
The lyrics depict poignant emotions through the whiteness and coldness of snow, and the piano-centered arrangement creates a winter ballad that resonates deeply.
It’s the kind of song you’ll want to listen to while watching the snow fall softly.
