The data of 8852 and 2927 variable stars detected by the OGLE survey in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are presented. They are cross‐identified with the SIRIUS JHK survey data, and their infrared properties are discussed. Variable red giants are well separated on the period– ( J − K ) plane, suggesting that it could be a good tool to distinguish their pulsation mode and type.
