End of WinterMatsutōya Yumi

End Of The Winter / Fuyu No Owari (2022 Ｍix)

A track included on the album TEARS AND REASONS, released in November 1992.

It was selected as the ending theme for the Fuji TV drama Stolen Hearts, which began airing that same month.

The song portrays a story of youthful turmoil and jealousy that begins with a letter suddenly handed over in a classroom.

Its lyrics delicately express the complex feelings toward a hardworking friend and the loneliness of feeling left behind.

When sung, the distinctive lyricism of Yumi Matsutoya vividly brings back the poignant emotions of those days.

Inspired by the works of poet Hiroshi Yoshino, it overlays the deep sorrow carried in everyone’s heart with the image of snow.

Christmas Once MoreŌe Senri

Senri Oe One More Time X’mas 1989

A number by Senri Oe, who, as a singer-songwriter, also provided songs for numerous artists adored by people now in their 50s.

Included on the 1985 album “Miseinen,” this track is marked by a poppy synthesizer sound that sets it apart from other Christmas songs.

Its irresistible, dance-inducing groove is sure to warm up the room, even if you sing it in front of people who don’t know the song! With a freshness that also evokes its era, this pleasantly off-balance quality will leave a strong impression on younger listeners who haven’t encountered Senri Oe’s music before.

Christmas Time in Blue -Whistling on the Holy Night-Sano Motoharu

Christmastime In Blue/Motoharu Sano (Acoustic Version) cover

A stylish Christmas song by rock singer Motoharu Sano that would perfectly suit glittering holiday streetscapes and the chic vibes of overseas Christmas markets.

Sano, who began his career just as today’s people in their 50s were growing into adulthood, released this track in 1985, and it has been reissued many times since.

On Christmas Eve in 1990, a broadcast even showed him performing the song at Tokyo Disneyland.

Its cool, Western-influenced, sophisticated sound—unfamiliar to many listeners at the time—was strikingly fresh.

If you can sing it with swagger, you’re guaranteed certified “ikioji” status!
