Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

My Christmas CarolHilcrhyme

2015 My Christmas Carol

My Christmas CarolHilcrhyme

Hilcrhyme is a hip-hop duo best known for their hit “Shunkashuto” (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter).

People in their twenties might feel especially familiar with them.

This track from their 2011 album “RISING” is a Christmas song that depicts clumsy love, marked by a conversational flow.

It’s a slightly bittersweet yet celebratory carol—a song of joy.

For those who usually can’t express their feelings honestly but want to convey them through song, this is a perfect pick.

It’s also fun that it samples the “Jingle Bells” melody.

Christmas★Bell ~ mens Side~Juliet

Juliet is a female unit that colored the “chaku-uta” era with their seasonal song series from “Haru Love” to “Fuyu Love.” Those in their late 20s may find them especially familiar! “Christmas★Bell ~Men’s Side~” is included on their first album, Love, released in 2009.

It’s a medium-tempo track depicting the first Christmas after a breakup from a male perspective, and those who’ve had a similar experience will likely find it deeply relatable.

The graceful melodies characteristic of Juliet blend with sentimental emotions to create a gentle ache—such a good song.

You’ll want to pour those bittersweet feelings into the rap part and sing it out with energy.
