Christmas Once MoreŌe Senri29rank/position

Senri Oe One More Time X’mas 1989

A number by Senri Oe, who, as a singer-songwriter, also provided songs for numerous artists adored by people now in their 50s.

Included on the 1985 album “Miseinen,” this track is marked by a poppy synthesizer sound that sets it apart from other Christmas songs.

Its irresistible, dance-inducing groove is sure to warm up the room, even if you sing it in front of people who don’t know the song! With a freshness that also evokes its era, this pleasantly off-balance quality will leave a strong impression on younger listeners who haven’t encountered Senri Oe’s music before.

Midwinter LandrierŌe Senri30rank/position

[cover] Landrie in Midwinter Senri Oe

It’s a gently moist, slow-tempo song.

It’s more of a Tokyo-style tune, and the fact that this super Kansai-born Sen-chan is the one singing it really gets me.

Her gentle tone soothes girls worn out from work or studying.

And the midwinter coin laundry setting is just too perfect.

Autumn SongŌe Senri31rank/position

Autumn Song

A nostalgic autumn classic by singer-songwriter Senri Oe.

I’m drawn to the lyrics that capture everyday scenes, like the cicadas that signal the end of summer and the chill of the wind you feel as you pedal a bike.

This song is one of the double A-side single released in October 1998, written specifically for NHK’s “Minna no Uta.” His conversational singing voice perfectly matches the nostalgic autumn atmosphere.

Give it a listen as you look back on the past.

HONESTŌe Senri32rank/position

Senri Oe – HONEST

An introspective ballad whose moist, tender piano timbre seeps into the heart.

Released as a single in July 1992, it was later included on the acclaimed album “Rokko Oroshi Fuita.” You can almost picture a room where time has stopped for two people, gazing at a stack of faded cassette tapes left piled against the wall.

The piece portrays the protagonist’s sincere resolve not to forget even the wounds of the past, but to use them as sustenance for a reunion in the future—an unwavering quiet determination that squeezes the heart.

Senri Oe’s characteristically delicate melodies seem to gently accompany those sentimental feelings.

On nights when you want to be alone with your thoughts, or when you wish to face the past and move forward, its gentle resonance will permeate your heart.

TogethernessŌe Senri33rank/position

Togetherness

Togetherness has a moist, gentle tone that sinks into the heart.

Created during the period when we were compelled to STAY HOME amid the spread of the coronavirus, it was selected by AP in New York as one of the “40 songs created during the pandemic.” After a career delivering various pop songs in Japan, Senri made her debut as a jazz pianist at the age of 52 and has been active since—this piece is filled with her feelings.

It’s refreshing yet warm, wrapped in brightness.

I felt in Senri’s piano a voice wishing for listeners to feel a small happiness, even if only for a fleeting moment.

I miss youŌe Senri34rank/position

I miss you

It’s a love song with a simple yet powerful tone.

The melody is classic, and the song is medium tempo.

The “she” who appears in Ms.

Senri’s songs is often a hardworking and wonderful woman, isn’t she? By the way, the chorus is by Misato Watanabe.

Such a beautiful singing voice.

Santa Claus is comingŌe Senri35rank/position

Santa Claus is coming

When it comes to songs that capture the magic of Christmas, Senri Oe’s piece is the one that comes to mind.

It’s a track included on the album “Chibusa,” released in December 1985, with lyrics and music both by Oe himself.

Characterized by a light, poppy sound, it depicts Santa Claus arriving in a reindeer-drawn sleigh.

The lyrics also carry the deeper meanings of Christmas, expressing it not merely as a festive commotion but as a heartwarming season.

It’s recommended for those who want to cherish their Christmas memories or are looking for BGM for a home party.
