Tales of Fallen Leaves

From a majestic, hymn-like introduction unfolds an elegant and mellifluous melody—an autumn masterpiece crafted by The Tigers.

The duet harmonies of Kenji Sawada and Katsumi Kahashi beckon you as if into a fairy-tale world.

The piece paints a vision that layers a fleeting yet beautiful love story onto the image of falling leaves.

Its bittersweet yet warm tones gently enfold the listener’s heart.

It was the B-side of the single “Kimi Dake ni Ai o,” released in January 1968, and was also included on the album “Sekai wa Bokura o Matteiru” released the same year.

On a long autumn night, if you listen while tracing the faint memories of days gone by, its tender timbre may seep deep into your heart.

This is a Christmas song by The Tigers, an idol GS band that featured Kenji Sawada and Ittoku Kishibe.

Surprisingly, it’s a comic song with a bright, cheerful tune, even though the lyrics tell a frightening story about a Santa in black clothes who takes things from the house.
