Seiko Matsuda -- Futari dake no Christmas(二人だけのChristmas)

 

And here I thought that Seiko Matsuda(松田聖子)got all her Xmas feelings out when she released her 1987 "Snow Garden". Well, apparently not.

At the very least, she did have one more Christmas song in the form of "Futari dake no Christmas" (A Christmas Just For Two) which was a track on her December 1989 album "Precious Moment". Seiko-chan herself came up with the lyrics (as she did for all of the tracks) with Minoru Komorita(小森田実) as the composer and Masaaki Omura(大村雅朗)as the arranger. Speaking about arrangement, "Futari dake no Christmas" has this solemn and hushed atmosphere but also seems to possess a child-like wonder about the Holidays as if a couple were getting married in an ancient church on Christmas Eve. As for "Precious Moment", it scored a No. 6 ranking on Oricon.
