Anime Songs to Enjoy at Christmas: A Special Feature on Winter Classics

Angel’s PrayerAiM

AiM – Tenshi no Inori

Voice actress Ai Maeda, who has appeared in many TV anime, is also active as a singer under the name AiM.

In one of her works, Digimon Adventure 02, her song “Angel’s Prayer” was used as an insert song in the Christmas episode.

It’s a Christmas song that fans who feel nostalgic for the once wildly popular Digimon should definitely give a listen to.

Tokyo Winter SessionHONEY WORKS

HoneyWorks 'Tokyo Winter Session feat. Yu Setoguchi, Natsuki Enomoto, Sota Mochizuki, Akari Hayasaka, Haruki Serizawa, Mio Gouda (CV: Hiroshi Kamiya, Haruka Tomatsu, Yuki Kaji, Kana Asumi, Kenichi Suzumura, Aki Toyosaki)'}

“Tokyo Winter Session,” used as the ending theme for the anime Our Love Has Always Been 10 Centimeters Apart., is a track featuring dazzling choral work by the cast members who voiced the characters in the series.

The song unfolds as a dialogue-style story between a male-female pair, and in the soaring chorus, their vocals split into separate parts.

Its rhythmic band performance, brimming with a pop sensibility, perfectly matches the sparkling, exciting scenes of Christmas.

A romantic anime song, it portrays the fluttering emotions of a boy and girl on the cusp of winter events like Christmas and the first shrine visit of the New Year.

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

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.
