DOWNLOAD
Title: Where Are You Christmas
Artist: Faith Hill
Album: Unknown
Language: English
File Size: 9.68 MB
Type: Pop/Country
Rating: B+
Comments: like this song. I don't like Faith Hill, that's it in a nutshell. Where Are You Christmas is the main theme of the movie, 'The Grinch' which has been playing on TV for a little while now. It's a really great movie in case you haven't seen it yet. The song is just beautiful.
Title: Like A Star In The Night
Artist: Mai Kuraki
Album: Wish You The Best
Language: Japanese
File Size: 12.7 MB
Type: Pop/Ballad
Rating: A-
Comments: So its not really a holiday song but can't you just imagine a crisp winter night while listening to this one? The bells in the background add a nice touch to the song as well.
Title: Winter Bells
Artist: Mai Kuraki
Album: Wish You The Best
Language: Japanese
File Size: 10.7 MB
Type: Pop
Rating: A
Comments: Mai Kuraki has such fun songs. I downloaded Winter Bells a couple years back and it's still one of my favorites. It's not really a Christmas song but it really gets you into the holiday spirit.
Title: Silver Bells
Artist: V6
Album: Unknown
Language: Japanese
File Size: 2.81 MB
Type: Rap/Pop
Rating: A
Comments: To be honest, Japanese rap isn't really one of the best things to listen to and V6 doesn't make it any better. The chorus of this song is what makes it great...it's really cheerful song. After a while, the rap parts just start to grow on you. Most of you will probably recognize V6 from Inu Yasha's first ending, 'Change the World'.
Title: Koi no Tenshi Mai Orite (Fly Down Angel of Love)
Artist: Love Hina
Album: Unknown
Language: N/A
File Size: 2.28 MB
Type: Instrumental
Rating: A+
Comments: What can I say...I love instrmentals. I've never actually seen the Love Hina anime but there are some really great songs from it, especially this one. The instrumental version of the song sounds a lot better than the original vocal version. The song is off the Xmas Special album. It's a very cheerful and festive song, perfect for the holiday season.
Title: Koi no Tenshi Mai Orite (Fly Down Angel of Love)
Artist: Yukari Tamura & Yui Horie
Album: Unknown
Language: Japanese
File Size: 2.74 MB
Type: Pop
Rating: A
Comments: Again, from the Love Hina Xmas special...to be honest, the instrumental version is A LOT better. It's not that I don't like the song but the vocals to this one isn't really the best, especially since I know Horie Yui does not sound like that. It's still a really fun song to listen to though but the vocals make you feel a bit nostalgic.
Title: Winter Wish
Artist: Yonekura Chihiro
Album: Unknown
Language: Japanese
File Size: 2.91 MB
Type: Pop
Rating: A-
Comments: Christmas special insert song from Love Hina. The first song I've ever heard from Yonekura Chihiro and I have to say I'm not dissapointed. It's not an overly cheerful song like you would expect from most anime xmas related songs but still a great one to listen to.
Title: Natsu no Christmas (Christmas of Summer)
Artist: Kawashima Ai
Album: Unknown
Language: Japanese
File Size: 7.25 MB
Type: Pop/Ballad
Rating: A+
Comments: I really like this song for some reason. It's fairly light tempoed, right at the edge of being a pop song yet not. The song is just gorgeous and I really recommend this one if you're looking for something more soothing than the usual poppy, festive type songs.
Title: White
Artist: Shoo
Album: SM Town Vol. 7 - 2003 Winter Vacation
Language: Korean
File Size: 4.36 MB
Type: Pop
Rating: A+
Comments: White is actually a Christmas themed song but it's a great song no matter what time of year it is. All I have to say is that this song is absolutely amazing. Shoo used to be a member of the popular Korean girl group, S.E.S. The group slipt a while ago but each of the girls pursue individual careers. Shoo has the fullest voice in the group and she has really matured since her time with S.E.S. If there is one song you have to download from this rotation, it's this one.
Title: Carol of the Bells
Artist: George Winston
Album: Unknown
Language: Instrumental
File Size: 3.66 MB
Type: Instrumental
Rating: A+
Comments: Carol of the Bells is one of my all time favorite holiday songs and George Winston is just a genius. You put the two together, and you have an amazing, yet light piano version of the song.
Title: Christmas Time
Artist: BoA
Album: Merry Christmas from BoA
Language: Korean
File Size: 2.80 MB
Type: Pop
Rating: A
Comments: Leave it to BoA to always have Christmas songs. I didn't want to upload one of BoA's ballads to Christmas Time became the obvious choice. Even from the intro to the song, you know what to expect. It's a very upbeat song fit for the holidays although BoA's english is a bit hard to understand.
Title: THE CHRISTMAS SONG
Artist: BoA
Album: Merry Christmas from BoA
Language: English
File Size: 11.9 MB
Type: Ballad
Rating: A-
Comments: For those that actually want a ballad, I'm sure most people are familiar with this song. You know...it's the one that starts off with 'chestnuts roasting on an open fire...' The song is in English but it's understandable. I think BoA strains her voice a little bit in parts of the song but still, very nice cover on an old holidy classic.
Title: Don't Save It All For Christmas Day
Artist: Celine Dion
Album: These Are Special Times
Language: English
File Size: 4.20 MB
Type: Ballad
Rating: B+
Comments: Hm, I find the song a bit boring but if you're into Celine Dion, I think you'll enjoy it song fairly well. It starts off slow but picks up a bit towards the ballad. The lyrics are nice but it's still just a general ballad.
Title: X'mas Chihuahua
Artist: Joey Yung
Album: X'mas Chihuahua
Language: Chinese (Cantonese)
File Size: 4.32 MB
Type: Pop
Rating: A
Comments: I think I orginally downloaded this song from zhongwenmp3 last year, dont remember when. It's a um...very unique Christmas theme song. Listening to Joey Yung rap just amuses me. The song is really cute, especially with all of the "chihuahua!" shouts here and there.
Title: Christmas in Love
Artist: Hana
Album: Unknown
Language: Japanese
File Size: 2.84 MB
Type: Ballad
Rating: A-
Comments: Christmas in Love is nice, cripsy ballad. It starts off with a little Jingle Bell melody but soon changes into different ballad altogether. It's pretty but the melody does get a little bit repetitive near the end, almost never reaching any climax.
Title: Santa Ga Machi Ni Yatte Kuru (Santa Claus is Coming to Town)
Artist: 12 Girls Band
Album: Merry Christmas To You
Language: N/A
File Size: 6.02 MB
Type: Instrumental
Rating: A+
Comments: Random pick off of the Merry Christmas To You Album. I don't really see this song uploaded much so I decided why not. I'm sure everyone has heard of Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Now just imagine it with a little traditional sound from all of the traditional instruments that 12 Girls Band and voila, that's what you have. *hearts*
Title: Morobito Kozorite (Joy to the World)
Artist: 12 Girls Band
Album: Merry Christmas To You
Language: N/A
File Size: 5.07 MB
Type: Instrumental
Rating: A+
Comments: Another classic beautifully done by 12 Girls Band, that's all I have to say.
Title: O Come All Ye Faithfull
Artist: Sweetbox
Album: After The Lights
Language: English
File Size: 4.09 MB
Type: Pop
Rating: A+
Comments: Leave it to me to always have a Sweetbox song somewhere fit for an occasion. After the Lights is Sweetbox's holiday release album last winter. Sweetbox did a VERY nice cover of this song and Jade's voice seem perfect for bringing out the festiveness with her strong vocals to perfectly match the instruements.
Title: This Christmas
Artist: Sweetbox
Album: After The Lights
Language: English
File Size: 5.01 MB
Type: Pop
Rating: A+
Comments: I just adore this song. It's very upbeat and pop~ish yet the lyrics aren't what you would generally expect from a Christmas song. If you liked Cinderella, you'll like this one as well. It follows the same pop~ish mood but with a more holiday feel to it.
