Tunes Tuesday - Anime Christmas Mix

This week’s Tunes Tuesday is going to be slightly off-beat. If you’re tired of the same old Christmas songs and you’re looking for something different to play during parties or what have you, then here are a few I give to you. They are all in Japanese and sung by voice actors/actresses or bands from some of my favorite anime shows. You’ll catch a few familiar English lyrics here and there. Click the song title for full lyrics. Enjoy…

Silver Bells by Coming Century - Inuyasha
It’s a Japanese holiday rap version of Silver Bells :) In Inuyasha, a dog demon and the reincarnated priestess Kikyo work together to find the shards of a sacred jewel. Of course, there are bumps along the way and new allies/enemies to meet.

Yorokobi no Carol (Joyful Carol) - Card Captor Sakura
The title is self-explanatory. This song sung by Junko Iwao, the Japanese voice actress of the character Tomoyo Tomoeda, and her Tomoeda choir. Sakura Kinomoto was your average middle school girl until she accidentally freed the powerful Clow Cards from their book. Now she has to collect them all before they wreak havoc on her town.

Jingle Bells – Tenchi Muyo!
Sung by the entire voice acting cast: Kikuchi Masami (Tenchi), Yokoyama Chisa (Princess Sasami), Takada Yumi (Princess Ayeka), Orikasa Ai (Ryoko), Mizutani Yuko (Mihoshi), and Kobayashi Yuko (Washu). Everything was going okay for Tenchi Masaki until he awoke the space pirate Ryoko from a cave at his father's shrine. Now his life is turned upside down and 2 alien princesses, a galaxy space police officer and a 20,000 year old scientist wanna come along for the ride.

Sailor Moon Christmas plus Orgel version – Sailor Moon
This song has the cast of Sailor Moon describing the Christmas party they’re putting together. From the games they’ll play to the champagne bubbles (though they’re supposed to be in high school) to the HOT turkey being carried. Serena Tsukino was your average (hmm, there seems to be a theme) school girl, until she crossed paths with a magical cat who helped her discovery she is "Sailor Moon" the champion of love and justice. now she and her friends must battle the forces of the Negaverse and their Junior High woes. Here's my fansite (under construction). There are tons more Sailor Moon sites in the links section.

I'll be compiling anime fan sites, so if you have one drop me a line.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAY, HAPPY KWANZAA, HAPPY CHANUKAH and MERRY WINTER SOLSTICE EVERYONE!
