A Christmas song by singer-songwriter imase, who rose to fame on TikTok, included on his November 2022 EP “POP CUBE.” Written specifically for Shibuya Scramble Square’s Christmas campaign, the track brilliantly captures the city’s sparkling illuminations and the exhilaration of winter nights.

A four-on-the-floor beat layered with bells and holiday-tinged synths creates a blend of danceable rhythm and warm melody.

It’s also interesting that, hailing from Gifu Prefecture, he researched the streets of Shibuya to expand his imagery during production.

This is the perfect song for those who want to heat up a party or enjoy Christmas events with friends.

back number – Christmas Song (full)

It’s the perfect song for a winter night when, despite the glittering bustle of the city, you can’t help but think only of someone special.

The lyrics delicately portray the frustration of not being able to see the person you want to see right away, and the overflowing tenderness that persists nonetheless—it really tightens your chest, doesn’t it? This track is back number’s 14th single, released in November 2015, and it shot to fame as the theme song for the TV drama “5→9: From Five to Nine.” Produced by Takeshi Kobayashi, its warm yet heartrending sound woven from piano and strings is outstanding.

The chorus sits a bit in the higher range, so try to sing lightly without forcing your voice.
