Junichi Inagaki – When It's Christmas Carol Time (Official Music Video)

Throughout the long history of Japanese pop music, many Christmas songs have been created, but among those with an especially cool vibe, people in their 60s might first think of “Kurismasu Kyaroru no Koro ni wa.” While its flashy arrangement is striking, the vocal line is composed and the range is relatively narrow at mid1 D# to mid2 G#.

It can get the crowd going whether you sing it low or raise the key and add some shouts, so try it in whatever style you like.

I can’t say “Merry Christmas.”Inagaki Junichi2rank/position

Junichi Inagaki – Can’t Say Merry Christmas ~ Church ver. (Official Music Video)

This is the 20th single by Junichi Inagaki, who has long been active as an urban-style singer, released in November 1990.

Chosen as the commercial song for Sanki’s “Boutique JOY,” it’s a winter staple marked by sophisticated arrangements and poignant lyrics.

Interweaving imagery like a velvet sky and foghorns sounding from the harbor, it delicately portrays the regret and loneliness of being unable to express one’s feelings to someone important.

This ballad, themed around a heart that can’t be honest, is full of mature mood with elements of AOR and city pop.

It’s a recommended number for those whose hearts ache with Christmas memories or when you want to sing in a mellow, intimate atmosphere.
