Holly Jolly X'masu


Jul 20, 2021

Welcome to episode 21 of Holly Jolly X'masu! In this episode, I cover Ryoko Moriyama’s 1975 album, “Christmas Hymnbook II.” This is the third of four episodes dedicated to Ryoko Moriyama, and the second of her two hymnbook albums. This album features more traditional hymns in her classical style, and has a couple wonderful songs that were new to me. It’s easily as good as her first hymnbook album and is a great way to take your mind off the summer heat.

Thanks for listening, and I hope you’re enjoying Ryoko Moriyama’s music as much as I do. I look forward to covering her last Christmas album later this month. Be sure to listen in. And don’t forget that my regularly-scheduled Christmas in July episode should be available on the 25th. I have some really great songs planned for that, and you don’t want to miss it.

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. Any donations received will be put towards purchasing 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!
