Christmas roseTUBE

When you think of TUBE, summer songs may be the first thing that comes to mind, but they also have a love ballad about Christmas! Sung with the passionate voice of vocalist Nobutoki Maeda, it tells a story set on Christmas Eve, just as the snow begins to fall.

The lyrics portray a man heading out to confess his feelings to the woman he loves.

Alongside the lyrics that convey a strong, straightforward love, the guitar solo woven into the song seems to express the rising emotions as well, making it a hidden gem of a Christmas ballad that will leave your heart feeling warm by the time the song ends.

9 on the Oricon weekly chart, it was also selected as the image song for Nippon TV’s “Gekikukan Pro Yakyu 2001.” For Yomiuri Giants fans, it might be a particularly nostalgic track.
