A hidden Christmas song sung by Keisuke Kuwata is “Kissin’ Christmas.” It’s included on his third best-of album, I LOVE YOU -now & forever-, released in 2012.

It was also used as the theme song for Nippon TV’s music program Merry Xmas Show, and it really captures the vibe of lovers at Christmastime.

Be sure to check out the playful, highly original lyrics—so characteristic of Yumi Matsutoya, who wrote them.

Get everyone singing it together at karaoke and bask in the memories of Christmases from “back then.”

“Nanno” Yoko Minamino’s eighth studio album is titled ‘Dear Christmas.’ It’s a concept album in which every track is related to Christmas.

The first track on the album is the song ‘Dear Christmas.’ Since the song’s title was used for the album title, it must have been a particular favorite.

The lyrics continue almost like a monologue: ‘Let’s forget the busyness and the sadness—it’s Christmas,’ offering a soothing, seasonally fitting sentiment.

It’s a track where you can savor a slightly more grown-up Yoko Minamino.
