Title: O Come All Ye Faithful
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. 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: 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

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 few 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.

No commenting = coal for you in Christmases to come ;)

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

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.

Title: Il Jang Choon Mong
Artist: Lee Jung Hyun
Album: Passion
Language: Korean
File Size: 4.16 MB
Type: Pop/Ballad/R&B
Rating: B+
Comments: This is actually a pretty good pick for a Lee Jung Hyun song. I find it a bit repetitive though, mainly the instrumentals since it's very light on the vocals although there is enough for this to actually be a song. It's kind of mellow~ish but a bit groovey as well. LJH doesn't have the best the English but it's understandable at least.

Title: Amazing Grace
Artist: Tension
Album: Unknown
Language: Chinese (Mandarin)/English
File Size: 2.38 MB
Type: Ballad
Rating: A
Comments: I'm sure everyone has heard Amazing Grace before. This is just Tension's version of it, which has parts of it sung in Chinese. There are no instruments in it, just vocals and they do add a couple twists to the song here and there, giving a more unique and pop touch. Tension is a boy band but they mostly do ballad type songs and they have such nice harmonizing vocals which really makes them stand out.

Title: Shyain on the Beach
Artist: Porno Graffitti
Album: THUMPx
Language: Japanese
File Size: 4.92 MB
Type: Pop/Rock
Rating: A
Comments: If you liked the last Porno Graffitti song I uploaded (NaNaNa Summer Girl), you'll like this one as well. It follows the same summery feel to it as you can probably get from the title. This song isn't really a great song but still a good song to listen to especially if you like things with a rock edge to it yet with a pop feel.

Title: Cool Down
Artist: Kelly Chen
Album: Grace
Language: Japanese
File Size: 8.97 MB
Type: Pop/Ballad
Rating: A-
Comments: I'm actually more fond of Kelly Chen's Cantonese songs but her Japanese ones are nice if you want a change. I find this song a bit flat, just a little bit. I suppose the chorus makes up for the overall song but it's not really one of those songs that you find yourself easily into, you kind of have to give this one time.

Title: My Heart Will Go On
Artist: Faye Wong
Album: Unknown
Language: Chinese (Cantonese)
File Size: 4.15 MB
Type: Ballad
Rating: A
Comments: Serious, who hasn't heard of this song? And if you haven't, WHY HAVEN'T YOU SEEN TITANIC? The only thing I have to say about this song is that it's gorgeous. If you seen the movie or just heard the main theme, you know what I mean. It's really one of those dramatic songs that makes you feel all emotional inside. To be honest, I would prefer this song more if it was in Mandarin but that's just me. Faye Wong does a great job singing the cover but I think the original version done by Celine Dion is better :)

Title: Legend of Mermaid
Artist: Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch
Album: Unknown
Language: Japanese
File Size: 5.24 MB
Type: Pop
Rating: A
Comments: I think someone requested this song like a couple weeks back but I haven't had a chance to do a mp3 update until now. Sorry ^^;; I've never seen the anime so can't say too much there. This is seriously one of the few anime songs that I have left and that's because it has such a catchy melody and chorus. It kind of makes you feel nostalgic after a while but it's a rather cute song. Not all cute songs have to have the cutsey anime~ish voices as most of them do.

Title: Jue Bu Neng Shi Qu Ni (Can't Lose You)
Artist: F4
Album: Fantasy 4 Ever
Language: Chinese (Mandarin)
File Size: 4.31 MB
Type: Pop
Rating: A+
Comments: It's too bad that F4 disbanded although each individual member do continue to release songs. Can't Lose You is the opening to the Taiwanese drama, Meteor Garden 2. Personally I just love this song and the lyrics are great as well. F4 have very nice vocals and they sound so nice singing together. It's a mild tempoed pop song but it really one of those songs that you can just relate to easily, song and lyrics. "I don't care where you are, I'll definitely find you". If you like Can't Help Falling In Love With You, you'll like this as well. It's just so catchy. Download =P

Title: Ta Yi Ding Hen Ai Ni (He Must Really Love You)
Artist: A-Do
Album: Tian Hei
Language: Chinese (Mandarin)
File Size: 3.26 MB
Type: Ballad
Rating: A
Comments: I first heard A-Do at some Chinese video rental store. There was also a section where they sold CDs and the woman put in one of his CDs since I told her I was interested in Chinese music. I didn't run across any of his songs until quite a bit later on. It's not that he didn't appeal to me when I first him, I just never really gave it much thought. Now that I have a couple of this songs, I kind of regret not finding some or buying the CD rather, back when I first discovered him. He's a ballad person but they're really nice. I'd recommend giving this a try :3

Title: Ni He Wo (You and Me)

Album: Unbelievable
Language: Chinese (Mandarin)
File Size: 6.38 MB
Type: Pop
Rating: A
Comments: I'm quite picky about my Wang Lee Hom songs just because I think some of the ballads that he does aren't really anything great. I loved this song from the first second I heard it though. It's always nice to find one of his poppier type song and this one really gets going. It's nothing fast, upbeat, or anything like that but still fun to listen to. It just has one of those beats that you can't seem to get rid of. This song really reminds me of another song I have or heard, I just can't think of it. It's not a cover or anything, just like a simliar style.
