CIRCUS TOWNYamashita Tatsuro
The title track from Tatsuro Yamashita’s first solo album, Circus Town, released after the breakup of Sugar Babe, the band he was a member of.

HAPPY HAPPY GREETINGYamashita Tatsuro
“Happy Happy Greeting” was released on December 9, 1998 as the fifth single by KinKi Kids.

White ChristmasYamashita Tatsuro
When people think of Tatsuro Yamashita’s Christmas song, I believe everyone imagines “that” Christmas song.
However, he actually covered and sang the classic Christmas song “White Christmas.” Yamashita, too, dreamed of a Christmas where someone comes running through pure white snow—one where he wouldn’t be alone.
And it seems that dream came true, as he now spends a happy Christmas with his wife.

“Parade” was originally a track included on the 1976 album.
It was later used as the B-side (“’82 REMIX”) of a single released in 1982.
The jacket of the 1976 album is very lovely and evokes a trio.

That same year saw the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and the release of Microsoft Windows 95.
Requiem for the Light and YouYamashita Tatsuro
This song is the theme for a film released in 2013.
According to Tatsuro Yamashita’s official website, it is his latest CD single.
The jacket is very simple.

The original novel of the film was published in 2008 by Shinchosha.
a momentYamashita Tatsuro
Among the tracks on the album “MELODIES,” this is the one that left the strongest impression on me.
It wasn’t love at first listen, but the more I heard it, the more I started to think, “Maybe this is the best track on the album?” It’s a song with a lot of character.
