Girlfriends: ContinuedMatsutōya Yumi

[Yuming Marathon Best 4] Girlfriends Continued ♪ #247 YUMING cover

A track from the 19th album in 1987, “Before the Diamond Dust Fades.” It’s a song celebrating a female friend who’s getting married tomorrow—a cheerful “congrats” gifted to her.

The friend I used to goof around with is getting married first; it’s a little lonely, but I’ll be there anyway.

At the church, I’ll probably be the one to cry first.

That kind of mutually caring, wonderful relationship will likely make listeners feel happy too.

3D Christmas Card / 3-D No Christmas Card

When it comes to Yumi Matsutoya’s Christmas songs, this one stands out for its vivid, three-dimensional scene-setting.

Against a snowy backdrop, the protagonist dreams of an ideal Christmas spent with a loved one, expressed through Yumi’s uniquely poetic lyrics.

Featured on the album “ALARM à la mode,” released in November 1986, the track is characterized by its distinctly ’80s arrangement centered on synthesizers.

The city pop–inflected sound pairs with lyrics that evoke a three-dimensional visual beauty, as if leaping out of a Christmas card.

The imagery of winter’s beautiful natural scenery and the warmth of human connection conveys the magic of Christmas and the value of time spent with someone special.

It’s truly the perfect song when you want to elevate the Christmas mood.
