Christmas Eve, sung by Tatsuro Yamashita, is the quintessential Christmas song that grabs you from the intro.

When it comes to winter love songs, this is the one! Released in 1983, just as the idea of Christmas was shifting from being spent with family to being spent with a romantic partner, it’s been impossible to get through the holiday season without hearing it ever since.

This song, which portrays spending Christmas Eve alone while holding on to an unfulfilled love, has resonated with many—bringing tears, offering warmth, and keeping them company.

The melody, the vocals, the choral work—everything is perfect.

Our Summer Dream / Tatsuro Yamashita (Cover)

It’s the theme song of the film “Summer Wars.” The lyrics, filled with a resolve to protect you forever, are striking.

Tatsuro Yamashita’s rich, warm vocals are truly soothing.

Perhaps I’m influenced by the film itself, but it’s an anime song I want to listen to in the summer.

Tatsuro Yamashita “Goodbye Summer Days”

This is Tatsuro Yamashita’s 21st single, released in 1991.

That year, it was used in a corporate image commercial for Dai-ichi Life, and in 2012 it was featured in a TV commercial for Mitsubishi Electric’s car navigation system, DIATONE SOUND.NAVI.

Included on his best-of compilations, it’s a fan-favorite track.

A beautiful ballad that sings of the bittersweetness at summer’s end.

GET BACK IN LOVEYamashita Tatsuro6rank/position

Get Back in Love – Tatsuro Yamashita

Chosen as the theme song for the drama “Kaigan Monogatari: Mukashi Mitai ni…,” this single was released in 1988.

The gentle melody and Tatsuro’s richly expressive vocals really hit home.

It seems to capture the pleading feelings of a man who has cheated, or perhaps the emotions of someone who once turned someone down but only later realized his true feelings.

It’s a bittersweet love song that’s easy to picture in different situations and open to various interpretations.

The earnest wish to win back that love comes through powerfully.
