winter song by kiroro- un lng ang gs2 ko.

merry christmas to all

[Maneki Neko]

^ A, oo nga no! Nalala ko bigla yang Winter Song nung nabasa ko ung post mo. Really nice song. Tignan ko nga kung may copy pa ako dito. Pero maganda naman talaga lahat ng kanta ng Kiroro e, karaoke friendly. ^_^

Also, Gackt's 12gatsu no love song in all versions.

[Maneki Neko]

According to an Oricon survey, the most sung Christmas song in karaoke is Itsuka no Merry Christmas by B'z ^__^

[naglalakad]

White Light - Namie Amuro

Senti song... ganda rin ng video. This song and her "Nobody" single have the same music - magka-iba lang ng lyrics:p

[Blue Ronin]

Tatsuro Yamashita's Christmas Eve has become the staple Japanese Christmas song. It's the one being sang on the karaoke scene in Last Christmas and it was used as a background song in a series of JR commercials in the late 80's.

[bungeegum]

Diba may Silent Night si Gackt and Ayu? Hehe, may pagka-weird ang dating nun eh...I love all of Laruku's Christmasy songs!

[Lady-Rinoa]

gusto ko rin yung Christmas Night ng SMAP ^____^

hehe, watashi mo! i love all of Laruku and BoA's Christmassy songs! ^___^

[blitz]

For some weird reason BoA seems to have a lot of Christmas songs, and though I hate christmas songs, hers are the ones that I like the most. Especially Winter Love...

Winter Love is LOVE :D according to a survey done by Music Station, Winter Love turned out to be one of the Japanese's favorite love songs :D

[Lady-Rinoa]

Diba may Silent Night si Gackt and Ayu?



narinig ko lang yun for the first time last week! ^_^ haha. katuwa! :D medyo weird nga ang dating :D but it was all right :D

[Maneki Neko]

OK, mega LSS = Gackt's December Love Song. Super Engrish Power! Even although you cry for me, remember me and love me always....My fave version, surprisingly, is the Chinese version, followed only by the Japanese ver. Korean? No way (although I bought the original Korean CD for reasons I don't even remember)

[Lady-Rinoa]

No way (although I bought the original Korean CD for reasons I don't even remember)

[Maneki Neko]

Yung Last Christmas ng EXILE, natatawa pa rin ako sa pagka-Engrish nung tunog. Kreeesmass :D

I always listen to GACKT's 12gatsu no Love Song, all versions. Yung English, pinakinggan ko lang last week. Di ko talaga maalala yung lyrics. Tsaka maski nakadikit na yung tenga ko sa speaker, di ko maintindihan talaga yung sinasabi :P

[Lady-Rinoa]

White Light - Namie Amuro

Senti song... ganda rin ng video. This song and her "Nobody" single have the same music - magka-iba lang ng lyrics:p

Ito!!! Ito yung gusto kong Xmas song ni Namie!!! XD Haha. XD This year ko nga lang nalaman yung title. Haha. XD Napanuod ko kasi to sa Music Station Super Live 2005 noon, tapos wala na, nakalimutan ko na. This year ko lang ulit napanuod :) Haha.
