It’s a song from the Disney film “Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas,” included on the album “Disney Magical Pop Christmas,” released in November 2016.
This piece is a truly lovely work that evokes the warmth of the special event that is Christmas.
Its gentle harmonies weave a beautiful melody that turns winter’s chill into something wonderful.

Cool SkaBlue Beat Players
Blue Beat Players is a ska band formed in 1994.
Centered around Mark Hayashi, who was also a member of Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, the band drew attention for the unique twist that Hayashi—who played guitar during his Ska Para days—took on the saxophone.
The band name is said to be inspired by the ska performed in 1960s Britain, and their appeal lies in a relaxed, offbeat groove with an air of mature allure.
They disbanded in 2003 to much regret and were long spoken of as a legendary band, but they reunited in 2010 and continue to charge forward with the same sound that defined them from the start.
Cleopatra’s DreamBud Powell
Cleopatra’s Dream, released in 1959 by jazz pianist Bud Powell.
In Japan, it’s known by the title “Kureopatora no Yume,” and its mysterious atmosphere and sheer intensity are irresistible! It’s performed in C-flat major, a key with seven flats, and the main phrase enters on the off-beat of the eighth note, giving it a distinctive rhythm.
The melody unfolds with a sensibility most people would never think of, and it becomes addictively compelling as you listen! This piece is especially popular in Japan.
Next time you step into a jazz café, why not perk up your ears to see if it’s playing?

A notable point is that a version with different lyrics, titled “Venus Say,” was used as the opening theme for the anime Twin Spica.
Both sets of lyrics were written by Haruichi Shindō, the guitarist of Porno Graffitti, showcasing his talent.
Set to a stylish sound, the song portrays the struggles of transitioning into adulthood.
It’s also striking how the lyrics, which depict overcoming these doubts and growing, evoke the story of Twin Spica.
airC&K
This track, with a strong hip-hop flavor, uses a mellow beat and Auto-Tuned vocals to evoke a profound sense of melancholy.
Just as breathing comes naturally, I fell in love with you as naturally as that—and just as it’s painful without air, you vanished as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
It portrays the heartbreak of such a sorrowful breakup.
