Someday Merry Christmas

A ballad by B’z that opens with richly seasonal imagery—city streets dressed for Christmas and gifts for a lover.

It’s a highly narrative masterpiece, delicately and meticulously portraying the feelings of a man who chooses a chair as a present and the poignant moment he realizes the relationship is ending.
