Mutual Love Songs for Christmas: Love Songs to Listen to on the Holy Night (71–80)
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.
I want to be SantaŌhara Yuiko
A wistful love song by Yuiko Ohara, known by the catchphrase “the singer-songwriter of the anison world.” For anyone nursing a crush, Christmas is a season when those helpless feelings only intensify—especially when the person you love is looking at someone else.
Even so, your feelings don’t change.
The lyrics, which express that earnest, unwavering devotion, really strike a chord.
Why not try singing it with friends, at karaoke, or even in front of the person who hasn’t realized how you feel yet? Who knows—there might be a present from Santa in store!
Christmas StoryAmatsuki
It’s a Christmas love song that really resonates with junior high and high school students.
It’s sung by the popular singer Amatsuki, who’s also active as a Vocaloid producer, and it was released in 2019.
The sparkling sound arrangement alone overflows with Christmas vibes—and the lyrics are heart-throbbingly sweet! They capture that feeling of wanting to get even a little closer to the person you like, yet not quite being able to take the first step… it’s so relatable you can’t help but empathize.
By the time you finish listening, you’ll feel happy.
Definitely watch it while holding hands with your sweetheart!
A very merry ChristmasAmatsuki
It’s an up-tempo, super catchy song.
It’s perfect to sing when you want to lift the mood of the moment.
The lyrics portray the scenery of a Christmas shared by two people who are very much in love.
If you split the parts, it seems like a couple could even perform it as a duet!
Let It SnowYasuda Rei
Rei Yasuda’s “Let It Snow” is a bittersweet winter breakup song.
Her free, richly resonant vocals are soothing.
Although it’s a breakup song, it’s a track that reminds us of how precious it is to spend Christmas together as a couple.
Let’s once again appreciate the miracle of spending Christmas with the one you love.
Christmas EveYamashita Tatsuro
This song, now a Christmas classic, was actually released in 1983.
It’s hard to believe it’s that old, since we hear it every holiday season and everyone knows it.
It captures the bittersweet feelings of a man waiting for his lover.
DEAR…againHirose Kōmi
Komi Hirose’s “DEAR…again” is a very heartrending Christmas song.
Sung from a woman’s perspective about a lover who will never return, it’s filled with heartfelt emotion.
The lyrics will deeply resonate with anyone experiencing unrequited love.
Give it a listen when the city sparkles with Christmas cheer and you can’t hold back the loneliness on your own.
