[Xmas08] Christmas Bouquet ~Holly & Ivy~: SnM Xmas 2008 album
view liner notes
The third annual Sekai no Melody Xmas album is the product of all-nighters, many contributors, hard work, and amazing talent. Brought to you at 8am GMT-6 December 25th, 2008, the 2008 album splits SnM into two groups, reminiscent of the annual popular Japanese music program, the NHK Kouhaku, in which the “red” and “white” teams have a song battle to see who wins the award of the year. Likewise, SnM split into the “holly” and “ivy” teams, each with an army of talented singers and amazing setlist to showcase the brilliance that exists in every aspect of SnM. From small group songs to large 50+ member songs (in which both groups fuse to create maximum blending and spirit), this is hailed as one of SnM’s best works to date!

[Xmasp08] Festive Arrival: SnM Xmas 2008 promo disc
[Xmasp07] Festive Arrival: SnM Xmas 2008 promo disc
The 2008 Xmas promotional mini-album blends the two styles of the 2006 and 2007 promo discs. With a slew of wintry solo songs along with three large mixes, SnM makes its “festive arrival” in a grandoise show of its true multilingualism. Tracks 01, 03, 06, and 08 are all multilingual mixes of well-known songs, while the soloist songs sample some of the most gorgeous winter-themed ballads of East Asia. Serving as an introduction to the two “teams” into which SnM was split for this year’s album and New Year’s Eve song battle (paralleling the NHK Kouhaku), we are introduced to the bold Holly team and the elegant Ivy team. A treat for the ears. Released December 23rd, 2008.
