[Christmas Songs] Christmas songs to sing with children (71–80)
Where is Santa Claus from?Nobuyo Oyama (Doraemon)
This is a cute Christmas song sung by Doraemon in Nobuyo Oyama’s version.
The lyrics, addressed to Santa Claus whom we haven’t met yet, really spark the imagination.
It might be nice to sing it with your child while thinking about Santa.
It’s a Doraemon Christmas carol that will make you look forward to the holiday.
Christmas EveTatsuro Yamashita
Even if the title doesn’t ring a bell for some, I bet you’ll recognize it as soon as you hear it.
It’s Tatsuro Yamashita’s masterpiece, practically synonymous with Christmas songs.
He later described it as “the one song that became my signature.” I hope children will continue to pass down and sing this wonderful Japanese classic.
In dulci jubilo (All ye people, raise your voices)
It is a traditional Christmas carol that has been sung since the 14th century.
It is also known in Japan as a hymn.
Centered on the Nativity of Jesus Christ, this song creates a sacred Christmas atmosphere.
Children, too, may feel a Christmas that is a little different from usual.
Haro Kuri DanceYo-bex Allied Forces
This is the ending song from the anime Yo-kai Watch.
It sparked a huge craze among children, didn’t it? The songs from Yo-kai Watch are popular for their playful lyrics and catchy dances.
This track is another fun, kid-friendly song that anyone can sing and dance to.
By now, Santa
Here’s a great BGM recommendation for when you’re getting ready for Christmas—decorating your room or baking a cake: the song “Santa Claus Right About Now.” It’s a tune featured on the children’s show “Okaasan to Issho,” and it imagines what Santa might be doing in the days leading up to Christmas.
In the song, he’s washing his Santa suit, making the sack for presents, and eagerly waiting to meet all the children.
It’s also fun to let your imagination run beyond the lyrics and think, “Maybe he’s actually doing this, too?”
Christmas with Mom, just the two of us
A gently soothing melody makes “Christmas for Just Mom and Me” a pleasant listen.
It’s a song about how the world looks different simply because it’s the special day of Christmas.
It leaves the impression of a piece that prompts deeper reflection as you grow older.
The Snow Lay on the Ground
It’s a Christmas carol that has been passed down since around the 19th century, known in Japan as “Yuki wa Tsumori.” The song celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ amid falling, accumulating snow—perfect for a white Christmas.
Be sure to listen to it with your children.
