It’s sung in a cute voice by the character Akari Akaza, played by voice actress Shiori Mikami! With a jingly, Christmas-like rhythm, it’s a very cheerful tune.
It has an excited feeling like you’re waiting for Santa Claus’s presents, and it really makes you look forward to Christmas!

A heartrending winter ballad, “snow tears.” It was Shoko Nakagawa’s first ballad—she is also active as a TV personality—and it was released in 2008.
She wrote the lyrics herself, with composition by Daisuke Suzuki, the keyboardist formerly of day after tomorrow and GIRL NEXT DOOR.
The song was used as the ending theme for the anime Hakaba Kitaro, based on Shigeru Mizuki’s manga.
For fans, it’s also a memorable track because Nakagawa voiced the singer character “Neko” in the show.
Shokotan’s clear, transparent vocals and the lyrics that capture the anime’s worldview are beautiful, overlapping perfectly with a bittersweet Christmas.

Released in 2018 by singer-songwriter Eri Sasaki, who has worked on many anime songs, it captures a sense of travel that perfectly matches the series, which depicts girls camping and connecting with nature.
The song conjures heartwarming scenes that make you appreciate the happiness of being together—not just alone.
Why not spend Christmas with its warm, acoustic guitar-centered sound?

Shiroi Yuki is a song about spending Christmas alone while thinking of someone you can’t forget.
It was released on December 20, 2006 by singer Mai Kuraki, who has continued to sing with her cool, distinctive voice since her debut.
Mai Kuraki is well-known for her theme songs for Detective Conan.
Shiroi Yuki was also tied in as the ending theme for Detective Conan: Agasa’s Challenge! Agasa vs.
Conan & the Detective Boys.
Even if it’s not a happy Christmas, this is a song that gently stays close to the bittersweet longing and loneliness of thinking about someone.

Haiyore! Nyaruko-san is an anime inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos, featuring eldritch gods appearing in adorable forms.
Its ending theme, “Magamagashiku mo Seinaru Kana” (“Fearsome Yet Holy”), is a medium-tempo ballad that, in terms of sound, is a classic winter song through and through—but isn’t that title something? It’s a grand, unexpectedly beautiful piece, with a chorus by the ominous gods that surpasses all expectations.
