Japanese Christmas songs? - domokun1134 - 2010-12-02
Tis the season, so I was wondering if there were any specifically Japanese christmas albums/songs out there? Maybe even be common Christmas classics (Santa Claus is coming to town, etc.) with Japanese lyrics. In fact I think that would be even more fun.

あわてんぼうのサンタクロース (I think this is a Japanese original)

Silent Night

I think these are probably the three most popular. The Youtube related links should help you find a bunch of others.
Now let's see how many replies you can get before Tzadeck comes in to helpfully denounce religion for you.

Yes, there are tons
I'm not sure they're popular enough to find on torrents or anything though. I have a few hundred (including all the classics) but it's on my currently deceased desktop 
There's a thread already devoted to Christmas-related media, too, here: http://forum.koohii.com/showthread.php?pid=121019#pid121019

I remember back in the late 90s I had downloaded some sailor moon christmas cds. You might still be able to find torrents or something, since I guess sailor moon is still fairly popular.
Here is info on them (songs are in japanese)

Edit: oh what do you know, that site has the downloads too, I didn't even realize that.

Are you looking for anything specific?
EDIT:It looks like Zarxrax's links have lyrics and are very complete, I should have looked at them before posting. ^_^;

You guys are awesome. Was just looking for something fun to listen to, and possible something to make my friends/family cock their heads in confusion.

No prob. ^-^ Confusing friends and family with your music is always fun.
I'll post one more I guess.
Last Christmas by EXILE with lyrics, though I like the one Yuuji Oda did better, but that's in English...It's weird, I never would have heard of the song if it weren't for jpop, and now it's one of my favorite Christmas songs.^-^
There are also a lot of Christmas themed jpop songs which aren't covers of anything, that you might want to look into.
