Forest ChristmasSakushi Sakkyoku: Masuda Yūko

Forest Christmas: Keropons Panel Theater

Masuda Yuko’s “Forest Christmas,” which she wrote and composed, is also hugely popular with children as a Keropons/Yuko Masuda music panel! If your child goes to daycare or kindergarten, they’ve probably watched or sung it at least once during the Christmas season.

In this song, the animals living in the forest receive presents from Santa.

It’s a wonderful Christmas song that nurtures children’s imaginations.

Notice of Christmas Cancellation

"Notice: Christmas Is Canceled" - I Tried Singing It ★ Mitani Nana.mp4

This is a Vocaloid song with parody lyrics based on the classic “Jingle Bells.” The jokes might be a bit dark for children, but I think elementary school boys would probably laugh and enjoy it.

Funny Christmas songs feel rare.

♪ Song “Santa Around This Time”

It’s an adorable Christmas song that I’d love for all the children to sing together just like in the video.

You can feel the childlike curiosity in the lyrics—Is Santa coming? What’s he doing now? Is he getting ready? It’s a special day we can’t wait for.

The Snow Lay on the Ground

Children’s Chorus of Washington “The Snow Lay on the Ground”

It’s a Christmas carol that has been passed down since around the 19th century, known in Japan as “Yuki wa Tsumori.” The song celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ amid falling, accumulating snow—perfect for a white Christmas.

Be sure to listen to it with your children.

All ye faithful, make haste

"In the Bleak Midwinter," "O Come, All Ye Faithful" — (Choir of Seibo Women's Academy)

A famous Japanese Christmas song that sets the lyrics of “Hark, the glad sound! the Saviour comes” to the well-known “Joy to the World!” melody.

Originally, in the West, hymn tunes and texts were not necessarily fixed pairs; as long as the melody and syllable count matched, it was acceptable to sing a different text to a tune.

When the hymn came to Japan, the pairing was not the original one, and as a result a different text took root—making for a curious song.

At the same time, the lyrics have become quite familiar in Japan, haven’t they?

Christmas elf

Christmas Dwarfs | Santa’s Elves | Christmas Song | Pinkfong Japanese Nursery Rhymes

It’s a cute song about Christmas elves helping Santa prepare Christmas presents.

To the rhythm of sleigh bells, a voice charmingly altered with a voice changer sings in a rhythmic style.
