Well there aren't very many.... o.0 HOWEVER, one day I remember I was searching for the same thing, and I came upon a post in a forum. Here's a quote: EET'S BIG OKAY â I also have the second Sailor Moon Christmas album (that's right, there were two of them), and, what's notable about this one is that every one of the western Christmas songs from the Tenchi album, except for "Sleigh Ride", which was just instrumental, is on this one, sometimes with the same lyrics, like "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer", other times with different lyrics, as with an alternate Japanese version of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus", here sung by Rika Fukami as Minako Aino (Venus). What some people know this album for is a version of "When the Saints Come Marching In" performed by Kotono Mitsuishi as Usagi Tsukino (Moon), with one of the verses sung hideously in English. Emi Shinohara sings a pleasant Japanese version of Mel Tormé's "Christmas Song" ("Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire"). My favorite tracks on that album are sung by Michie Tomizawa as Rei Hino (Mars)... a jazzy version of the Japanese version of "When You Wish Upon a Star", which is, of course, from the Disney Pinocchio film and has nothing whatsoever to do with Christmas but nevermind, and a cover of WHAM!/George Michael's "Last Christmas" sung in English... which is... umm... interesting. "Tell me baby/Do you lecognize me? Well, it's been a year, it doesn't supplies me!" (Yes, honestly, it sounds like she says "Supplies" instead of "Suprise", which is, of course, very, very wrong to find amusing. Even if you remember the "Supplies" closet joke in U.H.F..) The other anime Christmas CD I have is the Cardcaptor Sakura: Tomoeda Elementary school Chorus Christmas Concert, which is presented as a Christmas concert done for the radio, exactly like we did at Edgewater elementary school in the 1980s, complete with the noise of the crowd noise dying down and the chimes indicating the start and finish of the concert. The appropriately-named Sakura Tange as Sakura Kinomoto doesn't appear on this album at all, so the concert features Junko Iwao as Tomoyo Daidouji as well as, as far as I can tell, a lot of actual children doing the singing. Most of the seven songs in this mini-album were either written for this album or are Japanese-language Christmas (or maybe just festive) songs, with the only western song being a Japanese-language version of Handel's "Joy to the World". âž linkaaaage~ |

its big alright. "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" isn't that ranma's technique. XP I found an X-mas album of galaxy Angel on Imeem. well actually there are a bunch of song found here on gendou from GA that is kind of caroly(if thats a word). I'll dig those out of my song folders. I feel the urge to listen to some carols. I remembered seeing an episode of Ojamajo doremi where they sang X-mass carols in Japanese. though I was not able to find those songs at all. |
