Happy Christmas (War Is Over)John Lennon & Yoko Ono
Originally, it was an anti-war song created by John Lennon and Yoko Ono with the message “let’s end war.” Nowadays, it’s become a classic Christmas song that you hear on the radio in December.
I hope children, who carry the future, will listen to it while also understanding the true feelings contained in the song.
Ojamajo Happy ChristmasMAHO-do
The anime Ojamajo Doremi has continued to be loved across generations.
MAHO-dou is a musical unit formed by the voice actors of its main characters.
They’ve sung many friendly, approachable songs, but the one I especially recommend for Christmas is Ojamajo Happy Christmas.
It’s a pop song that depicts the characters enjoying the holiday.
With spoken lines and catchy phrases woven in, it conveys a lively sense of fun.
Singing it yourself will make that joy come through even more.
Wish Upon a Star
It’s a timeless classic loved around the world.
It’s the theme song from the Disney movie Pinocchio.
It’s also well known as a Christmas song.
Since it’s a tune every child has heard at least once, they’ll probably be delighted if you play it at Christmas.
Little Snowflake
The Japanese title is “Little Snowflake.” It’s a song that depicts snow gradually piling up, and the lyrics are built from simple words repeated throughout.
Because the vocabulary is so straightforward, even children could probably memorize it after listening a few times.
It’s an adorable song when sung a bit haltingly.
Forest ChristmasMasuda Hiroko
A gently paced Christmas song sung by the popular children’s duo Keropons.
It’s a delightful track with clear, friendly lyrics that spark kids’ imaginations.
A variety of unique animals appear one after another—what do they want, and what will Santa give them? Try singing along while thinking about it together with the children.
The customer is Santa Claus
This upbeat track, reminiscent of 90s Japanese pop, is a song about the fluttery excitement of children waiting for Santa Claus.
Its lively sound and exhilarating lyrics vividly capture how kids feel at Christmas.
With a touch of nostalgia, it’s a song that lets adults remember their childhood and enjoy welcoming the holiday season.
