Reimy -- Pocket no Coin (ポケットのコイン)


This is probably one of the more Xmas-y-sounding non-Xmas songs I've ever heard. Never became a hit or its own single, but it's just one of those pleasant little ditties by Reimy(麗美). The lyrics (Reimy wrote and composed the song) for "Pocket no Coin" (The Coin in The Pocket) actually refer to what seems like the early days of a happy marriage, but the way the song is arranged, I've always imagined it being the theme song for a couple taking a lovely stroll through a Christmas Market. Hey, my imagination, what can I say?

"Pocket no Coin" was a track in Reimy's 8th original album, "Hashiru Soyo Kaze Tachi e"走るそよ風たちへ....To The Gentle Breezes) released in February 1990. Actually, the title track was the resident Xmas song.
