Your Christmas Day III / Chikuzen Satou

カテゴリ： Favorite, recommendation

As Chikuzen had declared, making release of his series of Christmas album came true for the third time.
Chikuzen says that as a radio personality, he has taken interest in Christmas songs all over the world,
And listened various kinds of songs, even heavy metal and hip-hop.
He has found Christmas songs expressing large scale of world view, not only love songs and for family and friends .
In Japan, " Harukanaru Christmas " by Masashi Sada would be the one.
Chikuzen says that in recording Christmas albums, he selects songs on triad criteria:
1. Standard Christmas songs including traditional songs -this time, " O Holy Night " and " Please come home for Christmas
2. His original songs -Chikuzen doesn't write songs with an awareness of Christmas.
3.
This time, " After The Rain " is one of them.
This song is the opening number, and you might be surprised at the sound of rock music.
Arrangement is by Kouichi Tabo from Superfly .
" Whenever I Call You Friend " is sung with SHANTI , who writes lyrics for his Christmas albums.
I Need You " sung with Ayaka Hirahara
You might recognize her " Jupiter ", which shows appeals of her low voice.
This song of Philip Bailey is not a Christmas song, of course.
he selected this song because this song has elements of both classical music that Hirahara studies and soul music that Hirahara likes.
This song is arranged highlighting elements of baroque.

Another important appeal is cover photo and " The Lost Treasure ".
Cakes on cover photo and lyrics cards are made by Susumu Koyama .
Koyama is a chocolatier who won the top at a contest " Salon Du Chocolat 2015 ".
According to Chikuzen, at first, he was going to ask Koyama just for those cakes for cover photos.
But when they began to talk about this, Koyama told Chikuzen that he created a magnificent fantasy story for his chocolat he sent to the contest, and asked Chikuzen for music for this story.
Chikuzen thought that Koyama wanted theme songs of his chocolat, but realized that what Koyama imagined was a suite.
-And a suite "The Lost Treasure" was written.

You don't have to worry about language barrier; all the songs including this suite are English.
In English, sound and delivered messages are different from Japanese, and Chikuzen wishes listeners enjoy such difference.
