Thanks for the first posting of Tomoko...Hi, nikala. Thanks for the first posting of Tomoko Tane. Yeah, "X'mas" is in that middle niche between party tune and folky ballad. I like how she straddles together a couple of winter tunes near the end...the old Der Bingle chestnut, "White Christmas" and the Japanese kids' song "Yuki Ya Kon Kon". You mentioned about Akiko Yano....I think Tane also sounds a bit like PSY-S' Chaka in a lower register.<br /><br />I actually have one Tane song on one of my old tapes...."Mermaid In Blue".J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.com
