Yamashita Tatsuro "Christmas Eve" with translation.

How are you going guys!!.

It is about time for Christmas in a couple of weeks, so...I am assuming that many people who can not wait for a Christmas.

But here... I think that many people were surprised at the word, "Christmas" in Japan though...as I have told you many times before.

We do comprehend to accept "all of good things" from other cultures including any religious events and matters.

Because... all Japanese people are wishing to celebrate such a joyous happy day like a birthday by overcoming the differences in nationality and religion, along with everybody.

Therefore... We celebrate a Christmas as a special day for Jesus Christ.

Well...to be honest, more importantly...a Christmas in Japan is shifting from Jesus Christ 's birthday, to the day making more effort to see smiles of the precious ones... like a lover's day.

So...by from that unique mindsets...above "JR Toukai" TV commercial "X'mas Express" as "Cinderella Express" series were broadcasted from the year of 1988 till 1992 in Japan.

Since these TV commercial series are produced almost 30 years ago...These seem to be a bit old style but... so heart touching even now.

Especially the "Riho Makise" version part starts from 1:00, is our favourite still.

As a result of such a huge hit CM...left a strong impression of a christmas as the image of lover's day on Japanese people's mind.

Besides...also the adopted theme song by Tatsuro Yamashita's "Christmas Eve" resulted in widely recognised as "The Christmas song" as in today.
