Songs we want children to listen to! Recommended Christmas songs and nursery rhymes

All ye faithful, make haste

"In the Bleak Midwinter," "O Come, All Ye Faithful" — (Choir of Seibo Women's Academy)

A famous Japanese Christmas song that sets the lyrics of “Hark, the glad sound! the Saviour comes” to the well-known “Joy to the World!” melody.

Originally, in the West, hymn tunes and texts were not necessarily fixed pairs; as long as the melody and syllable count matched, it was acceptable to sing a different text to a tune.

When the hymn came to Japan, the pairing was not the original one, and as a result a different text took root—making for a curious song.

At the same time, the lyrics have become quite familiar in Japan, haven’t they?

Christmas elf

Christmas Dwarfs | Santa’s Elves | Christmas Song | Pinkfong Japanese Nursery Rhymes

It’s a cute song about Christmas elves helping Santa prepare Christmas presents.

To the rhythm of sleigh bells, a voice charmingly altered with a voice changer sings in a rhythmic style.

Christmas Oratorio

Bach – Christmas Oratorio [1-3] Harnoncourt

The Christmas Oratorio is a cantata composed by Bach.

A cantata is a vocal piece with accompaniment, allowing you to enjoy gentle accompaniment and majestic singing.

Because it is a series of connected works, the overall duration is long and it never gets boring.

Notice of Christmas Cancellation

"Notice: Christmas Is Canceled" - I Tried Singing It ★ Mitani Nana.mp4

This is a Vocaloid song with parody lyrics based on the classic “Jingle Bells.” The jokes might be a bit dark for children, but I think elementary school boys would probably laugh and enjoy it.

Funny Christmas songs feel rare.

Turkey in the straw

Turkey in the Straw

It’s a Christmas song sung to the melody of a classic folk tune, telling a story about chasing a runaway turkey.

The folk song is said to be based on the American folk tune “Oklahoma Mixer.” The lively rhythm is really fun.

In the feeding trough

Away in a Manger with Lyrics | Christmas Carol & Song

This is also a Christmas hymn (a gospel song).

A manger is a container that holds feed for horses.

This song is about the newborn Christ sleeping in a manger.

Since Christ was born in a stable, there are many Christmas songs that sing about stables.

Since it has been covered by many different artists, I believe there’s a version to suit every generation.

Its lively rhythm pairs perfectly with the Christmas atmosphere.
