Well, welcome to December! Unlike this time last month, we in Toronto are finally getting seasonal weather in the form of cold temperatures and a lot of snow up north. The big city hasn't seen a flake yet but I'm sure that will change in the next few weeks. Maybe we will get a White Christmas this year.
To continue with the Christmas season here on "Kayo Kyoku Plus", I've got another seasonal tune by singer-songwriter Minoru Komorita（小森田実）. "Rinjin wa Santa Claus" (My Neighbour is Santa Claus) is a track from his third original album "Panorama" released in August 1991. This one is a techno jazzy boogie about someone making a huge discovery in his neck of the woods but it's not quite as bizarre as a similarly arranged tune that he put out years later titled "Bunny, Bunny". However, it's the same songwriting duo of composer Komorita and lyricist Hiroshi Yamada（山田ひろし）. I also hear hints of New Jack Swing in the rhythm although I could be wrong, but in any case, it's a fresh new take for me on the usual J-Xmas fare.
