Snow Angel ~ KOTOKO

A delicate and beautiful piece that drifts like snowflakes in a winter night sky.

This song by KOTOKO was released in 2002 as the image song for the TV anime Please Teacher! It depicts two people thinking of each other in a world blanketed by snow, with lyrics that strikingly blend hope and poignancy.

It’s a recommended track for when you want to reflect on past romances or sink into a romantic mood.

snow falling Kalafina Live

With snow continuing to fall silently over a vast silver world…

The pure, chaste chorus that evokes such a scene is beautiful in “snow falling,” the ending theme of the anime The Garden of Sinners: Epilogue.

The clear tones of the piano, and the vocals and harmonies resonating within the silence, conjure up a quiet winter night.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to when you wish to spend Christmas serenely.

Merry Christmas without YouMayn Nakajima Ai

Macross F - “Merry Christmas without You” (with lyrics)

As a commemorative work for the 25th anniversary of the Macross series, Macross Frontier aired in 2008.

The series produced several hit songs, and this particular track is included on the Christmas song album cosmic cuune, released to celebrate the premiere of the film Macross Frontier the Movie: The Wings of Goodbye.

Remarkably, not only May’n as Sheryl Nome and Megumi Nakajima as Ranka Lee, but many other characters who appear in the story also take part in this song.

It’s fun to listen while guessing whose voice is whose.

Reflectiaeufonius

true tears / OP / “Reflectia”

This is Reflectia, the song used as the opening theme for the anime true tears.

The title is a coined word combining the English words “reflect” and “tier.” From this song, I feel a strong resolve to keep moving toward the future despite having gone through something painful.

The melody alone feels a bit lonely, but the overall freshness and sparkling sound of the track make it perfect for Christmas.

Christmas CarolKeroro seikatai

[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!
