Christmas with everyoneSakushi Sakkyoku: Sakata Osamu

Christmas With Everyone — Osamu Sakata, Yuko Kanzaki

This song, “Christmas for Everyone,” might be a bit shocking because of its realistic lyrics.

It reveals the reality of Christmas outside one’s own home—namely, that there are houses where Santa doesn’t come—and realizing that is very important, isn’t it? That’s exactly why this socially conscious, classic Christmas song nurtures the kindness of wishing, “Santa, please give presents fairly to everyone.” The song was performed on NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho” in December 1989.

It was written and composed by the big brother singer Osamu Sakata, and sung as a duet with the big sister singer Yuko Kanzaki.
