When it comes to Mariah Carey songs that are best known among Japanese people and adored by women in their 40s, I think it has to be “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” It was used in the TV drama “29-sai no Christmas,” which I believe boosted its recognition in Japan.

The music video plays often during the Christmas season, and every time I see it, I think, “Mariah Carey was still slim back then.”

With its piano-driven eighth-note beat and the cheerful jingle of sleigh bells, it’s such a delightful tune—and I bet it would make great background music that your friends overseas would love too.

This is a classic song that celebrates the joy of Christmas.

Set to a catchy melody, it expresses the wish to spend time with loved ones rather than focusing on Christmas trees or presents.

The duet song by global diva Mariah Carey and R&B singer Ne-Yo is “Angels Cry.” It’s included on Mariah’s 2009 album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.

The lyrics tell of returning to someone you can’t forget, despite having broken up after believing it was a fated meeting.

It’s a superb ballad that lets you fully appreciate the two artists’ overwhelming vocal prowess.
