Merry Christmas to youOda Kazumasa4rank/position
This is a warm Christmas song by Kazumasa Oda.
First released in 1989 and renewed in 1995, it was also used as the theme song for Dai-ichi Life’s “Passport 21” commercial.
The footage of Oda running across the Brooklyn Bridge in New York was reportedly shot on an extremely tight schedule over just two days after his nationwide tour ended.

It’s a song with a quietly reflective mood—one you’ll want to listen to alone.

Little TokyoOda Kazumasa6rank/position
Kazumasa Oda, the genius singer-songwriter Japan is proud of, hardly appeared in the media during his Off Course days.
Right after the band broke up in 1989, he surprised fans by appearing himself in this Nescafé Gold Blend commercial.
Many people surely remember him singing the opening phrase a cappella, followed by the dapper image of Oda sipping coffee.
The song “Little Tokyo” was his third single overall, and its refined, urban, and grown-up sound—so characteristic of Oda—perfectly matched the mood of the commercial.
Incidentally, the label Oda founded is also named “Little Tokyo,” so you could say this track encapsulates the very image of Oda as he made his fresh start as a solo artist.
As long as I have youShimizu Shota ft. Oda Kazumasa7rank/position
Shota Shimizu’s track featuring Kazumasa Oda, “Kimi Sae Ireba.” They grew closer through the Christmas music program “Christmas no Yakusoku” and decided to release a song together, and in this work Oda’s signature style bursts forth.
Surprisingly, however, the composer is actually Shota Shimizu.
The song is crafted in a J-pop style reminiscent of Off Course and Kazumasa Oda.
With many long tones and a relaxed rhythm, it’s perfect for practicing vibrato.
