Johnny's and their inability to have a decent Christmas song
One of the jokes in my household is that Johnny's(s? how does pluralisation work) are completely unable to release a decent Christmas song. So here's a list, along with some of the lyrics of each.
1) Ano Hi no Merry Christmas - Arashi
Baby I love you, it's farewell, isn't it?
A Christmas all alone
Baby I love you, it's a silent night
It's a lonely holy night
Why on earth does this song sound so happy???
2) Sayonara Merry Christmas - Nakayama Yuma
Sayonara Merry Christmas
All alone this Christmas
Tears this Christmas
4) Ai no Katamari - KinKi Kids
I almost don't need Christmas
My every day is a mass of loveOkay yeah, this isn't supposed to be a Christmas song. But the juniors should stop singing it on the shokura Christmas special every year.
5) Yume Monogatari ~Christmas Version~ - Tackey and Tsubasa
I believe "Christmas Version" actually means 'acoustic version with sleigh bells'. No Christmas relevant lyrics - link is here.
6) Sexy Summer ni Yuki ga Furu - Sexy Zone
I can't even explain it, because I feel like the lyrics might make sense, but this just needed to be included in this post.
... and just when I thought I was done with compiling this post, I found another KinKi Kids song called 'Another Christmas', so I thought I should look at what the lyrics were and then...
6) Another Christmas - KinKi Kids
We met in January
Fell in love in February
I won’t forget March and April
A summery September
Goodbye in November
Now our Christmas song is…
Christmas on my own

It is a really good song though.
Finally, congratulations to basically the only happy songs I found...
1) Merry Christmas - Ninomiya Kazunari
2) Lovely Xmas - Shigeoka Daiki/Kamiyama Tomohiro unit song
I'm sure more exist though... so if you've made it to this post and all the way to the end do let me know of any! And have an actual Merry Christmas this year :) ♥
