When I looked up Matsui, I got some kabuki actor!<br /><br />"Christmas Carol no Koro ni wa" is one of my go-to songs during the Xmas season....along with "Christmas Eve", of course.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-12213843701580382732012-10-04T17:24:21.848-04:002012-10-04T17:24:21.848-04:00Duh, I thought this was the easiest way to hint a ...Duh, I thought this was the easiest way to hint a song without giving out a spoiler.

The DVDs of the series have been out for a while now.<br /><br />I'm a big J-Xmas song fan but I have to admit that I don't know this one with Matsui and Akimoto. By chance, have you ever seen it on YouTube? I'll be doing a Xmas song segment in December.<br /><br />Malta is a name I've come across now and then, but little more than that until I started doing some research for this article, and even then it was just to find out he's a saxophonist. Time to look deeper.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-11931458752030889172012-10-04T09:22:25.660-04:002012-10-04T09:22:25.660-04:00Yamadakatsutenai Wink was fun!

He seemed to be involved everywhere in end of 80's, but I haven't found much about his personal history, what instrumentalists he admired, or so on. <br /><br />The greatest Japanese Christmas song to me remains this certain piece composed by Makoto Matsui and lyrics by Yasushi Akimoto (who else). jari lehtinennoreply@blogger.com
