Different Christmas music again

This time of the year I figure people may be getting sick of the same Christmas songs, so I post weird Japanese (and Korean) Christmas songs for a change of pace. 

Christmas was introduced by foreigners living in Japan who would celebrate the holiday, Although the Christian underpinnings of the day were of no interest to the Japanese, they quite liked, and adopted, the secular elements: decorated trees, lights, Santa, candy canes, peace on Earth, jingle bells, and a traditional bucket of fried chicken from KFC

Also, it has evolved into a couple's day similar to Valentine Day. You can see that in the above video Christmas? what is that? Is it delicious? where they've changed jingle bells into single hell. 

Following that is another two rather frantic Japanese Christmas songs, one keeping jingle bells and the other being just plain weird. Finally, there are two Korean Christmas songs by Girl's Generation and Crayon Pop respectively.
