The Checkers “The Checkers’ X’mas Song” [Live Version]

A Christmas song by The Checkers with perfectly festive bell sounds! It was included as the B-side to their smash hit “Julia ni Heartbreak.” Since it was created with John Lennon’s “Happy X’mas (War Is Over)” in mind, it has a somewhat similar feel—a charming little track.

It was released in 1990 as The Checkers’ 22nd single.

The song was used as a campaign song for the film “Tasmania Story,” and it is said to have been released as a single partly because the vocalist, Fumiya Fujii, got married around the same time.

It’s a straightforward love song from a man to a woman.
