Welcome to episode 120 of Holly Jolly X'masu! In this episode, I talk about Yuzoh Kayama’s 1983 album, “White Christmas.”

Yuzoh Kayama – White Christmas – 1983

I hope you enjoyed Yuzoh Kayama’s “White Christmas.” He’s been a massive star in Japan since the 60s. One difficulty I had writing this episode was the fact that there’s such a wealth of information about him. I did my best to cover the highlights, though. I’ll get to his music from the 60s eventually.

Yuzoh Kayama – White Christmas – Insert

I’ll do my best to get caught up before October. I have a couple great albums lined up for the rest of this month. First up is Yasuko Agawa’s “Come In Christmas” from 1990. It’s a wonderful vocal jazz album. After that is the 1997 compilation, “Winter Gift Pops.” It’s one I’ve been looking forward to covering, and you’re sure to enjoy it.

Yuzoh and Englebert

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!
