This Christmas number by Shogo Hamada is incredibly cool and classy in the way it expresses love with so few words.

It was included as the B-side to the 1992 single “Ave Maria.” He later self-covered it on his 2003 ballad album “Shoshu.” Despite the song’s length, the lyrics contain very few words, yet the bittersweet warmth of the love packed into them is simply exquisite.

Highly recommended if you’re looking for a refined, understated Christmas love song.

Unrequited Love (ON THE ROAD “FILMS”)

This song portrays the pain that grows stronger as one’s feelings deepen, even while knowing the love will never be fulfilled.

It was included on the 1978 album “Illumination,” and later released as the B-side to “Ai o Nemurasete.” The lyrics depict regret over having fallen in love and a wish to be rewarded, if only once.

Because the melodic pitch changes very gently, it’s likely an easy song to sing without strain.

Precisely because the range isn’t wide, being mindful of how to convey emotion is essential.
