[Christmas Songs] Soothing tones: A special collection of music box arrangements!

Once December arrives, Christmas songs start playing everywhere—from city streets to TV shows.

When you put on music yourself, you’re probably often looking for Christmas songs too.

But when you’re in the mood for something mellow rather than party-like, it can be surprisingly hard to find the right tracks.

That’s why we recommend music box arrangements of Christmas songs.

In this article, we’ll introduce many music box versions of Christmas classics!

Enjoy these lovely tunes and savor your special moments.

Released in 1990, this song was unusual for DREAMS COME TRUE in that it wasn’t included on any original or best-of album, and had long been considered a hidden gem.

In 2016, a newly re-recorded vocal version, “Yuki no Christmas – VERSION ’16 -,” was included on an album for the first time and was featured in a Subaru Impreza commercial, bringing it back into the spotlight.

Be sure to listen to this uniquely profound Christmas song that only Miwa Yoshida could create.

Winter SongDREAMS COME TRUE

This is also one of Japan’s Christmas pop standards.

It’s often used in TV commercials, so it’s probably familiar to many households.

I’m sure we’ll hear it a lot this Christmas as well.

Winter,againGLAY

It’s their 16th single, released in 1999.

Among GLAY’s singles, it recorded the highest sales.

I imagine many people came to like GLAY because of this song.

As a band from Hokkaido, GLAY was uniquely able to capture this feeling—it’s a perfect song for winter.

This song portrays a childlike interpretation of Santa from a child’s perspective.

It’s so cute it’s sure to bring a smile.

In the original version, you can feel the child’s energy and liveliness in the music, but when you listen to it as a music box arrangement, it has a lovely, calmer atmosphere.

It gives the feeling that Santa is gently watching over you.

This well-known song has been a beloved Christmas classic for decades.

Hearing it always makes me feel that winter has arrived.

When the high notes in the chorus are played on a music box, they sound even more beautiful.

A music box has its own charm, and the original has its own charm as well, so listen for yourself and choose the version you prefer.
