Yamadakatsutenai Wink -- Christmas, Christmas



This cute little ditty, "Christmas, Christmas", by Yamadakatsutenai Wink (やまだかつてないウィンク)is the final track on the album, "Yamadakatsutenai CD" (やまだかつてないCD) released in March 1991, although it was released the year before as a single. It got its fair share of airplay on Kuniko Yamada's(山田邦子) comedy-variety show, "Yamadakatsutenai Terebi". Unfortunately, there are only a few YouTube videos of the actual show and none of them have the Xmas episodes (August 2020: Merry Xmas! Look below). Yamada certainly liked to celebrate the holiday on her show with the cast all dressed up in Santa Red and White, and musical guests singing their seasonal tunes, including this one. Not sure if the real duo, Wink, ever covered it.


The song was written and composed by Senri Oe. It goes down like a mug of hot chocolate with a candy cane in it (well, not quite that diabetic).
