Black Christmas After the Rain [Soraru × Mafumafu]

After the Rain, one of the most popular vocalist duos, is a unit formed by Soraru and Mafumafu.

Their song “Black Christmas” is a Christmas tune with a somewhat dark atmosphere.

It has a unique charm that sets it apart from the many happy Christmas songs out there.

With semitone-moving melodic lines that make pitching tricky and a relatively high vocal range, it might be a bit challenging.

Definitely give it a try and sing it at karaoke!

Love! Snow! Genuine MagicMitchie M feat. Hatsune Miku

[SNOW MIKU Official Song] Love! Snow! Serious Magic feat. Hatsune Miku [Mitchie M]

I Love It! Snow! Serious Magic - Mitchie M feat. Hatsune Miku

Mitchie M’s ninth song.

It’s a perfect Christmas song for middle schoolers—when someone sings it, everyone smiles.

In the title “Suki! Yuki! Honki Magic,” the word written as “honki” is actually read differently, making a rhyme with the following “magic.” The lyrics say, “It doesn’t matter if you’re a kid or an adult—at Christmas that stuff doesn’t count, but if possible, I wish we could stay kids forever,” and it works whether a boy or a girl sings it.

There’s a rapid-fire English rap in the latter half that’s very Vocaloid-like, so try practicing it on the sly and surprise everyone!

It could be fun to divide parts and sing it with middle-school friends or classmates.

Try singing this sentimental love song—imbued with a somewhat mature atmosphere—at karaoke.
