MAX -- Issho ni (一緒に)




I wasn't as much a fan of the group MAX as I was with their former groupmate from The Super Monkeys, Namie Amuro(案室奈美恵), but I did enjoy their Xmas song, "Issho ni" (Together) when it was released in November 1999. As some of the fashion Mina, Lina, Reina and Nana show in the video, I think the song has that feeling of what it's like to attend a pretty swanky Xmas party in a first-rate Tokyo hotel.

"Issho ni" was written and composed by a unit called PIPELINE PROJECT, namely two of the members from TUBE, vocal Nobuteru Maeda and guitarist Michiya Haruhata. The song peaked at No. 8 on Oricon and was the 80th-ranked song of the year. It's also included in MAX's 4th album, "Emotional History" which was released in March 2001, also with a peak ranking of No. 8.
