Christmas Love Songs: Romantic Tracks to Listen to on a Holy Night

POPS writer/editorKEI
Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Love Song in DecemberGACKT(Gackt)

GACKT “December Love Song”

Love Song in DecemberGACKT(Gackt)

When it comes to GACKT’s Christmas songs, many fans probably think of “12gatsu no Love song,” don’t they? Released in 2001, while it is a love song, its lyrics are framed like a prayer for peace, and it remains enduringly popular today.

Its vocal range is extremely wide—from mid1 A to high G-sharp—with very dramatic jumps in pitch.

Because the low notes are quite low, adjusting the key can be challenging; however, the tempo itself is relaxed, making it a song that’s relatively easy to keep in tune.
