Songs Starting with “Ho” (Hoshi, Hotaru, etc.): Entries 71–80
HOLY NIGHTEXILE
The classic song “HOLY NIGHT,” included on their 21st single “Everything.” This piece, which conveys the Boys II Men-inspired vibe they respect, is crafted as a gentle, R&B-style ballad.
While the vocal range spans quite wide from mid1A to hiA#, the vocal line itself is orthodox, so for those who can use falsetto without issue, it can be considered an easy song.
The falsetto in the chorus sits a bit low, so if you find it hard to produce, we recommend boldly raising the key by one semitone.
White MemoriesWANDS
A track included on the single “Jumpin’ Jack Boy,” released in November 1993.
With lyrics by Sho Uesugi and composition/arrangement by Kosuke Oshima, it’s a winter heartbreak song.
Set against a season of swirling snow, the lyrics poignantly sing of longing for someone you can no longer meet, stirring memories of a faint, past love.
The delicate melody and arrangement that cherishes harmonic shifts make it a piece that truly resonates.
Why not try singing it as you reminisce about the bittersweet romances of those days?
Wish Upon a StarDizunī “Pinokio”
This classic was sung by Jiminy Cricket as the theme song for Disney’s 1940 animated feature Pinocchio.
While it isn’t specifically a Christmas song, its romantic message about wishing on a star shining in the winter night sky fits perfectly with the Christmas mood.
The song won Best Original Song at the 13th Academy Awards and ranked 7th on the American Film Institute’s “100 Years…100 Songs.” Long used in Disney’s opening logo, it truly symbolizes Disney itself.
How about singing it together near the end of your Christmas party, when you’re reluctant to say goodbye to the fun?

Star XMAS-BERRY: A Tender StarNakamori Akina
Akina Nakamori, the songstress who evolved from an idol into a powerhouse artist in the 1980s.
Featured on her mini-album “SILENT LOVE,” released in December 1984, this piece is a ballad that portrays a romance revolving around a pink card sent at Christmas.
The narrative lyrics by Ayumu Date delicately weave emotions that are both heartrending and warm.
Its structure—shifting from a minor key with a resonant guitar solo to a gentler atmosphere—evokes both the stillness of the holy night and the quickening of the heart.
Despite its roughly six-minute length, the composition by Daisuke Inoue and arrangement by Ichizo Seo keep it engaging throughout, making it a quintessential number that symbolizes a Showa-era Christmas.
