Midori Karashima Christmas Songs and Popular Tracks Ranking [2026]

Silent EveKarashima Midori1rank/position

Under the beautiful illuminations... When I played Midori Karashima's Silent Eve, I was enveloped in warm applause.

Released in November 1990 as the theme song for the TBS drama “Christmas Eve,” this million-selling track topped the Oricon chart for three consecutive weeks.

It delicately depicts the quiet tremors of the heart that arrive along with the falling snow.

The lyrics are striking in the way they portray the protagonist’s bittersweet attempt to quietly accept parting with a loved one on the special night of Christmas—conveying sorrow, yet also a certain dignified strength.

In the piano version, the subtle emotional shifts and the beauty of silence stand out even more, allowing you to enjoy a gently refined, adult sound.

Merry Christmas To You_Akiko Kobayashi, Mariko Nagai, Remi, Midori Karashima

The title track included on the 1989 Christmas song compilation album “MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU.” This song is performed by four of the album’s participating artists—Akiko Kobayashi, Mariko Nagai, Remi, and Midori Karashima—singing together.

Over a gentle accompaniment, their beautiful voices blend into a splendid harmony, giving the song a sparkling, quintessentially Christmas-like beauty.

Many of you may have listened to this album frequently back then, don’t you think?
