Mutual-love Christmas songs: Love songs you’ll want to listen to on the holy night (61–70)
Lovely shoestoketa denkyū
It’s a love song whose upbeat melody practically shouts “over the moon,” guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
It’s by Toketa Denkyu, a rock band from Kanagawa, and it’s included on their 2017 album “Mahō ga Tsukaenai Kara” (Because I Can’t Use Magic).
Enjoying Christmas with someone you love… there aren’t many things happier than that, are there? Just reading the lyrics gives you a sweet, slightly bittersweet feeling.
Rather than listening intently, it’s best enjoyed by singing along together as a couple!
Winter Giftmosao.
“Fuyu no Present” (Winter Present) is a winter song released in 2020 by singer-songwriter Mosawo, known for love songs from a woman’s perspective.
It’s his sixth digital single, a beautiful love ballad featuring grand, sweeping strings.
The music video on YouTube has racked up over 5 million views and depicts a happy couple in animation.
Be sure to use it as background music when spending Christmas with your partner!
Christmas Love (After the Tears, White Snow Falls)Sazan Ōrusutāzu
Among the many major summer hits by Southern All Stars, this is a very rare Christmas song.
It’s a perennial favorite that enjoyed a long run on the charts: a beautiful ballad that paints a wintry, snow-filled scene, perfectly matched with Keisuke Kuwata’s sweet, bittersweet vocals to gently move the heart.
Be sure to listen for his wife Yuko Hara’s backing vocals as well.
White Winter Love。haji→
This is a famous song by Haji→, a singer-songwriter from Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture.
It was released in 2013 as his third single.
Listening to it feels like your chest is being tightened.
It’s a poignant winter love song about feelings of love for someone important that he just couldn’t bring himself to express.
It’s a track I’d especially like couples, whose feelings for each other are already mutual, to listen to.
Love letter.Haji→ feat. Inoue Sonoko
This is a winter love song by Haji→, a singer-songwriter from Sendai, in collaboration with Sonoko Inoue! It’s perfect for a Christmas spent dreaming about the destined person you’ll meet someday.
The song is sung from both male and female perspectives.
One highlight is the Kansai-dialect lyrics sung by Sonoko Inoue.
Funky ChristmasNakahara Meiko
One of the quintessential Christmas songs of the ’80s, “Funky Christmas,” is a track released by singer-songwriter Meiko Nakahara.
Its pop-funk sound captures the exhilaration of the holiday season.
Another charm is how it portrays an ideal, wonderful romance from a woman’s perspective.
Combined with the romantic setting of the ski slopes, it’s the kind of song that will make anyone swoon, regardless of gender.
Or you could just relax and listen to it with your partner.
Somewhere in a distant town…Nagayama Miho
In recent years, this 1991 classic by Miho Nakayama has been reappraised as city pop.
It was originally produced as the theme song for the TV drama “Aitai Toki ni Anata wa Inai…” (“When I Want to See You, You’re Not There”).
The lyrics, which mirror the drama’s theme of a long-distance relationship between a man and a woman living in Sapporo and Tokyo, are truly heart-wrenching.
The meaning of spending Christmas alone—and the reasons behind it—vary from person to person.
Even so, at least on the holy night, we’d like to send words of blessing rather than words of lament.
