[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.

Even a cheerful Hatsune Miku Vocaloid track takes on a warmly textured, emotionally rich, wintry feel when rendered as a music box sound.

For a music box piece, it has a surprisingly full note density, resulting in a very satisfying arrangement.

It’s a different side of Hatsune Miku—be sure to give it a listen!

A song by SEKAI NO OWARI that was chosen as the theme for the TV drama “Legal V: Former Lawyer Shoko Takanashi.” Without losing the original’s sense of fantasy, hearing it in a music box arrangement makes the beauty of the melody stand out even more.

Its tone is a bit different from the original and perfectly suits a wintry atmosphere.
