As Long As There’s Christmas

A heartwarming number that sings of the hope and love of Christmas.

It’s a song from the Disney film “Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas,” included on the album “Disney Magical Pop Christmas,” released in November 2016.

This piece is a truly lovely work that evokes the warmth of the special event that is Christmas.

Its gentle harmonies weave a beautiful melody that turns winter’s chill into something wonderful.

I think it’s perfect as background music for a Christmas party!

If you want to listen to an exciting Christmas-themed anime song, be sure to check out “Snow halation”! It was released in 2010 by μ’s, the voice actress unit from Love Live!.

Its high popularity is evident— it ranked 18th in the 2020 national TV poll “130,000 People Vote! Anime Song General Election,” and it’s also a staple at live shows.

The cute harmonies have an emotional, heart-fluttering quality, and the catchy, bright melody matches the unique excitement of Christmas.

It’s also a great pick as a song that gives you the courage to confess your feelings or ask someone out!

It’s hot! A Poor Man’s Christmas!!556 (shī faibu shikkusu) (CV: Hiyama Nobuyuki) Rabī (CV: Kaneda Tomoko)

Hot! A Poor Christmas

A scene depicting siblings enjoying a Christmas together even without wealth, “It’s Hot! A Poor Christmas!!.” The vocals are performed by 556, the space detective from the anime Sgt.

Frog (Keroro Gunso), and his younger sister, Lavi.

It’s a dazzling piece of electronica enhanced with various sound effects like bells, featuring the two trading lines in a conversational vocal style.

The melody unfolds richly alongside phrases delivered in a comical worldview.

It’s a track that works both for listening with everyone and for livening up a Christmas spent alone.

Christmas in the Silent ForestIlaria Graziano

SAC GIG 2nd OP (terrestrial broadcast version)

It’s the opening theme of the anime “Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG.” The vocals—quiet yet brimming with a passion that seems to resound from the depths—are by the Italian singer Ilaria Graziano.

Beyond the evocative title “Christmas in the Silent Forest,” the song as a whole carries a strangely dim, unsettling atmosphere.

This worldview is addictive, isn’t it?

Deep loveMizuki Nana

Deep Affection / Nana Mizuki

This is a memorable song by the highly popular anisong singer Nana Mizuki, released on her birthday, January 21, 2009, and marking her first appearance at the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen as a voice actress.

It was used as the opening theme for the anime WHITE ALBUM.

Inspired by the anime’s worldview, this ballad portrays two people walking separate paths, and its fragile poignancy suits a bittersweet Christmas.

The harp tones by harpist Mika Agematsu and the beautiful melody that highlights Nana Mizuki’s vocals are absolutely enchanting.
