[On the Holy Night] A Special Feature on Vocaloid Christmas Songs

SNOW LETTERKevin

SNOW LETTER / v flower (Short ver.)

SNOW LETTER, produced by Kevin, a Vocaloid producer gaining attention with his cover videos and original songs.

It’s a track where lyrics that draw you into a dreamlike world intertwine with synth tones that shimmer like ringing bells.

Also note flower’s androgynous vocals, gently addressing a loved one amid a biting cold.

With a beautifully expansive chorus melody and high tones, this Vocaloid song crafts a dreamy atmosphere.

How about listening to this warm love song to color a leisurely Christmas?

CassiopeiaInokashira P

[With Chinese subtitles] [Inokashira] Cassiopeia [Hatsune Miku original song with PV]

This is Inokashira P’s second Vocaloid song.

It’s a track called “Cassiopeia,” about two people who parted ways and are starting anew.

While acknowledging that it was good they met, it describes their separation with the word “freedom,” suggesting there’s a deeper meaning beyond that.

The lyrics are very forward-looking.

The melody line features refrains, making it easy to follow and likely easy to sing at karaoke.

The ending, which expresses a wish to smile together if they ever meet again someday, is especially memorable.

[Hatsune Miku] eve*2 [Original Song with PV]

A song with a sense of speed that evokes a Christmas atmosphere through elements like bell sounds along the way.

However, the protagonist of the song is having an affair… The more the song overflows with Christmas mood, the more the guilt stands out.

It was released in 2010.

[Hatsune Miku] The Season of White [PV]

It’s a poignant mid-tempo ballad with a winter motif.

Cheerful Christmas songs are lovely, but why not let yourself sink into a slightly sentimental mood while imagining the snow falling silently? It’s included on the album “Hatsune Miku Best ~memories~,” so if you’d like the audio, please check it out.

illuminate (everyday) / Hatsune Miku, Nigori-cha

“illuminate (everyday)” is a song that captures the nostalgia and bittersweetness of Christmas as experienced in adulthood.

Created in 2022 by the Vocaloid producer Nigoccha, who also personally produces music videos incorporating live-action and animation, the track is set in the glittering winter season and depicts moments that bring back the honest feelings felt in childhood.

It moves from a gently paced A and B section into a chorus where the sound shifts to lively band instrumentation paired with a radiant melody.

It’s a Christmas song filled with words that let you keep unforgettable, precious things displayed in your heart forever.

Merry Christmas at the temple: Gohō Shōjo Sowaka-chan

This is a Christmas song from the fictional anime series “Gohō Shōjo Sowaka-chan.” It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer kihirohito, released in 2007.

As the title suggests, it’s themed around Christmas at a temple.

The sound arrangement is catchy with a sparkly vibe, but the impact of the lyrics steals the show.

Since it has a narrative quality, it’s better to experience it yourself than for me to explain it here.

Give this slightly unusual Christmas song a listen.

[KAITO & MEIKO] Dream on a Starry Holy Night [Vocaloid] [English Sub] Dream of a Starry Night

When it comes to Christmas songs, the sparkly, festive tunes are of course wonderful, but sometimes you want to listen to a gentle, soothing song as well.

For those people, I recommend “Hoshiyo no Yume,” a ballad by Bunchou-P.

It was originally sung by Hatsune Miku, but this version is a cover by Uzumaki-P as a duet by KAITO and MEIKO, offering a fresh new charm.
