Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!

Ketsumeishi on the Holy Night

Ketsumeishi captivates hearts with relatable lyrics and catchy melodies.

This is their double A-side single released in 2007 alongside “Fuyu Monogatari” (Winter Story).

It’s a medium-tempo ballad that perfectly fits Christmas, depicting the slightly bittersweet, fluttery excitement of heading to meet someone you love.

The relaxed pace makes it a great choice even for those who aren’t confident singers.

Its sweet-and-sour vibe will surely resonate with people in their twenties! The music video has a heartwarming story too, so try singing along while you watch.

Christmas in Our TownCyclamen

Cyclamen: Christmas in Our Town

Christmas Cyclamen of Our Town

Ciclamen is a 3-MC pop unit formed in Tokyo.

“Bokura no Machi no Christmas” is a track included on their 2011 album Surume 3.

For a slightly later generation, it’s a song we’d also recommend to fans of Very Good Man (ベリーグッドマン).

Its bright, bouncy sound evokes the festive streets of Christmas and really livens up any karaoke session! The lyrics are a bit embarrassingly cheesy—the kind that might make you blush—but that’s exactly what makes them great.

It’s perfect for sharing a moment of appreciation after a year of hard work or for spending a fun Christmas day.

Overflowing with a happy vibe, the chorus is ideal for everyone to sing along together!

Lost SheepChatmonchy

Chatmonchy – Meimei Hitsuji

Mei-Mei Sheep Chatmonchy

A coupling track included on Chatmonchy’s breakthrough release Shangri-La, from the rock band that sadly disbanded in 2018.

It’s also Chatmonchy’s first Christmas song.

Frustration builds toward a not-so-attentive lover, yet a single offhand remark can make your heart sway.

The song portrays that tug-of-war of love, making it relatable for anyone who isn’t getting along with their partner or feels dissatisfied.

Let Chatmonchy’s signature hefty rock ’n’ roll sound, groove, and vocals carry away the haze and set you free!

Christmas Eve Tatsuro Yamashita

Once the Christmas season arrives, you’ve probably heard it on TV shows or out in the city.

When it comes to classic Christmas songs, Tatsuro Yamashita’s “Christmas Eve” is the one, right? Just hearing the intro instantly conjures that exciting, festive feeling—like magic.

The commercials that aired back then left such a strong impression, too, so the earnest feelings of a woman who wants to confess her love on this day no matter how busy she is match perfectly with the bustling city scenery.

Even people in their twenties today would call it a go-to karaoke song!
