SantattaKeroponzu

The sing-and-dance Christmas song “Santatta” is perfect for young children.
Even kids who don’t know what Christmas is might understand that “Christmas is something fun” when they sing this song.
It’s easy to remember because it’s short and the lyrics of verses 1 and 2 repeat.
The gentle tempo also matches the quiet atmosphere of winter.
I hope everyone will hold hands in a circle and spin around while singing to enjoy this song together.
The Shepherds (The First Noel)

Let me introduce “Makbito Hitsujio” (“The Shepherds’ Carol”), which is perfect for chorus.
This is an English carol that originated around the 16th century.
Its beautiful melody has been loved by many and eventually made its way to America and Japan.
The Japanese lyrics were created by Shuichi Tsugawa, who preserved the feel of the original while rendering it in clearer, more accessible language.
The song depicts the biblical scene in which angels appear before the shepherds.
Sing it at Christmas and savor its sacred atmosphere.
