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.

April Fools in DecemberEPO
It’s a bittersweet ballad where the festive sparkle of a winter city at Christmastime overlaps with the sorrow of a love’s end—an irony that cuts deep.
The song by EPO was released as a single in November 1985 and included on the album “PUMP! PUMP!” With lyrics and composition by EPO herself and arrangement by Hiroshi Sato, its sophisticated sound blends AOR balladry with city pop.
The lyrics are striking for how they overlay the pain of heartbreak—realizing the person you believed was your only one was not—onto a title that deliberately invokes a “day of lies.” A self-cover version was released in 1993, and a completely re-arranged re-recording in 1999, keeping the song loved for many years.
It’s a track that quietly stays by your side when you feel a little distant from the dazzling Christmas scene.
The Autumn SongELLEGARDEN
This song, which expresses the loneliness and poignancy of autumn through a rock sound, was included in the compilation album “Figureheads Compilation” in July 2007 and later selected for the best-of album “Ellegarden Best (1999–2008),” making it a popular track.
While its energetic sound and exhilarating, fast-paced melodies are quintessential ELLEGARDEN, a closer look at the English lyrics reveals a delicate portrayal of the solitude and sense of loss that the autumn season brings.
It’s a curious song that vividly revives memories of school days spent with friends when you listen to it.
Give it a spin on a long autumn night when you want to immerse yourself in music alone.
Joyful! Pretty Cure ChristmasSawashiro Miyuki
This is an insert song that played in the Christmas episode of the hugely popular anime “Go! Princess Precure.” It’s included on the album “Go! Princess Precure Vocal Album 2 ~For My Dream~,” released in November 2015.
With fir trees and candles, Santa and reindeer, it portrays the fun moments of a Christmas party and fills you with excitement just by listening.
Sung brightly by Haruka Haruno and Towa Akagi/Cure Scarlet and friends, this track is sure to boost your Christmas spirit.
Try singing it out loud with your friends, getting into character as Precure together!
jack-o’-lanternurashimasakatasen
This is a dance track brimming with Halloween vibes, depicting a mysterious night bathed in orange light.
Written and composed by Yoshikatsu Shutō of KEYTALK, it was released digitally in November 2022.
Centered on the relationship between a butler and a princess, it unfolds a fantastical world where the boundary between dreams and reality grows hazy.
The lyrics are sprinkled with Halloween-specific motifs, and the chorus phrases really stick with you.
It’s perfect not only for costume parties, but also as BGM when you want to get hyped with friends!
Merry-Go-Round in DecemberTeraoka Yohito
Yohito Teraoka, who began his career as the former bassist of JUN SKY WALKER(S).
His fourth single, released in November 1995, is a notable track with lyrics by Kanako Nakayama of Princess Princess and music co-composed with Kazutoshi Sakurai of Mr.Children.
Set beneath the Christmas city illuminations, it portrays a poignant scene in which memories of a past love begin to swirl, resulting in a sweet, nostalgic ballad.
The production story is also memorable: Teraoka and Sakurai alternated in crafting the melody at Teraoka’s home.
It’s a perfect karaoke choice for those moments when the glamour of Christmas leaves you feeling a little bittersweet.
tablet (pill)TOOBOE
A song by TOOBOE that was featured in episode 4 of an anime that drew attention for its innovative weekly-changing ending themes.
It’s the title track of the EP “Jōzai” released in November 2022.
The sound design blends raw intensity—interwoven with shouts and noise—with a perfectly balanced catchiness.
The music video by the visual unit “Gitaisuru Meta” is an experimental piece that juxtaposes extremity and comedy, using a tale of love and hate as its motif.
The track is also included on the album “Stupid dog” and is regarded as one of TOOBOE’s signature works.
Highly recommended for those who want to immerse themselves in the world of the piece.
