Miyuki -- Christmas ga Kikoeru(クリスマスが聴こえる)

 


It's always nice to listen to a new singer with a decent song, and that's especially the case when the song in question is something for the Yuletide season.

The only information that I could acquire for the singer-songwriter known as Miyuki(美雪)has been through a Rakuten blog dated April 2010. I don't know of any singles that she released but there were two albums, one of which comes from 1987 titled "Tobu no ga Kowai"(翔ぶのがこわい...Afraid to Fly) and Track 2, according to Discogs, is "Christmas ga Kikoeru" (I Can Hear Christmas). A quiet and contemplative Xmas pop song created by her, aside from a rock guitar bridge, I also enjoy Miyuki's light and clear vocals, so I get memories of other singers from that time such as Miki Imai(今井美樹). Perhaps the ideal setting for the song is after dark when the shopping street has basically closed but there is still one straggling couple strolling around.

Also according to that blog, Miyuki began providing songs for tarento and seiyuu alike such as Hiroko Kasahara(笠原弘子)and Noriko Ogawa(小川範子)from the early 1990s. Later on in 1999, the singer changed her stage name to Myu to perform live and eventually release more music. Although as I mentioned in the previous paragraph that the blog entry is from a dozen years ago, it goes on to say that Miyuki established her own music training school.
