When it comes to Western Christmas songs, many people first think of “Last Christmas.” This track was released in 1984 by Wham!, the pop duo that was hugely successful in the 1980s.

While it became a worldwide hit, its popularity in Japan was especially remarkable, topping the charts for as many as 30 weeks at the time.

Although it’s a heartbreak song, it’s so well-known that people often use it at parties without paying much attention to the lyrics.
