[Official] KICK THE CAN CREW “Christmas Eve Rap” (MV) [4th Single] Kick the Can Crew KTCC / Christmas Eve Rap

KICK THE CAN CREW’s signature track “Christmas Eve Rap,” which boldly samples Tatsuro Yamashita’s classic—virtually synonymous with Christmas in Japan—was released as a single in November 2001, yet it continues to be loved to this day, with its music video even dropping in December 2024.

While making full use of the original melody, the lively beat and the trio’s distinctive flows combine to create a winter song where wistfulness and joy coexist.

It’s perfect for when you want to feel both the excitement and the loneliness unique to Christmas.

Great for hyping up a party with friends, and equally recommended as a soundtrack while strolling alone through a winter city.

Let this timeless song that resonates across generations help you spend a wonderful winter.

This song, notable for its energetic relay-style rap by three MCs, is the fifth single by KICK THE CAN CREW, released in January 2002.

Also used as the theme song for the film “No Problem 2,” it became the catalyst for the group’s appearance at the 53rd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

It’s a perfect track for livening up a karaoke session or when you need a dose of positive energy.

KICK THE CAN CREW is a hip-hop group that was active from the late 1990s to the early 2000s.

They’re one of the groups that helped bring hip-hop—once an underground genre—to a much wider audience.

This track, one of their signature songs, features a relaxed tempo and a calm atmosphere, yet the production stands out with catchy phrases woven in throughout.

Also pay attention to the lyrics, which express a resolve to “do what you want to do, no matter how unstable things are or how old you get.” As a group that’s essential when talking about Japanese hip-hop, this is a perfect chance to give their music a listen.
