Welcome to episode 127 of Holly Jolly X'masu! In this episode, I
talk about Takeshi Terauchi’s 1983 album, “Electric Merry
Christmas.”
I hope you’ve enjoyed learning about Takeshi Terauchi’s life and
career, and listening to his Christmas music. The term “legend”
tends to get thrown around a lot, but Terry truly lived up to the
name.
As you all know, December is the high point of the year for me. I
have several great episodes lined up. I’m debating whether to add
another to the mix. First up, though, is one I’ve been wanting to
do for a long time. I’ve managed to collect quite a few 78s, and
next episode I’ll be sharing a selection of them with you. They
offer a fascinating look at the sort of Christmas music that was
available prior to and just after the Christmas pop music explosion
of the 1950s. I’ll share more details on my other December episodes
next time around, so be sure to tune in.
As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If
have any suggestions, or if you’d like to recommend a song or album
for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know.
Remember, I've added a button to my Ko-fi page. If you'd like to support me one cup
of coffee at a time, a donation is only $3. I’ve also opened
a Redbubble store. I only have a
couple designs up, but keep an eye on it as I’ll be trying to add
more. Half of any proceeds or donations received will be donated to
support the people of Ukraine, while the rest will be used to
purchase new Japanese Christmas music to review for future
episodes. You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
And if you get a chance, leave me a review on iTunes. Thanks!
