Singer-songwriter Shoko Inoue（井上昌己）is someone that I have written about in the past. This was specifically in September 2016, when I provided the article on her 5th single "Kamisama no Mystique"（神様のミステイク）from May 1990.
Well, jump ahead several years here on KKP and several months ahead in her own discography. This is her 9th single from November 1991, "Merry X'mas wo Agetai" (I Want to Give You a Merry Christmas), and as written by Katsuya Koga（古賀勝哉）and composed by Inoue herself, the underlying rhythm kinda hearkens back to another more famous J-Xmas tune. However, unlike that tune and for that matter, "Kamisama no Mystique", it's all love and positivity here as a couple enjoy their first Xmas together starting with that fancy dinner.
The way it's all structured, I think "Merry X'mas wo Agetai" would have made for a wonderful campaign song in a TV commercial. Maybe it actually was. However, I know that there was a music video for it as shown below.
