At the end of the wilderness
This is a Christmas carol based on a traditional French carol.
I’m sure not many people know the title, but many have probably heard it somewhere at least once.
It’s a beautiful piece that suits the sacred holy night perfectly.
O Holy NightLibera
A Christmas carol composed by Adolphe Adam.
In Japan, it’s known as “Sayaka ni Hoshi wa Kirameki.” It’s one of the most famous songs worldwide, and even the globally acclaimed diva Mariah Carey has covered it.
A beautiful piece that evokes the spirit of the holy night.
Ding Dong Merrily on High (Ding Dong Takaraka ni)
It was originally a piece composed in France for dancing, but after English lyrics were added to the music, it was repurposed as a Christmas carol.
Since it started as a dance tune, it’s catchier than other Christmas carols, isn’t it? With this, even children could probably memorize the melody right away.
Happy Lucky Christmas
Shimajiro, the beloved character from “Kodomo Challenge,” a hit with little kids! This song, where Shimajiro and his friends sing and dance, is perfect for children’s Christmas parties.
It includes call-and-response shouts and playful number games, making it fun and a bit educational too! Let’s share the happy Christmas spirit not just for ourselves, but with our family and friends around us, and spend a joyful Christmas together.
It’s a Christmas song filled with kindness.

The 12 Days of Christmas
“The Twelve Days of Christmas” doesn’t quite resonate in Japan, but in Christianity, people celebrate the twelve days from Christmas to Epiphany.
The song is like a counting rhyme of the dates, and once you learn it, it’s a fun and unique tune.
Be sure to give it a listen at Christmas!
Merry Christmas
The Christmas carol “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” is known in Japan as “Omedetō Christmas.” It’s a classic Christmas song you often hear when the city is lit up with illuminations.
Its gentle melody is perfect for a special Christmas night.
That is my wish for Santa Claus.
It’s a Christmas song composed by Tadao Harasaki.
It’s definitely a song we’d love children who are looking forward to presents from Santa to hear.
The lyrics, written from Santa Claus’s perspective, are adorable and very soothing.
