i know christmas is over (although my tree is still up and i still insist on plugging it in at night) but i have to post these japanese commercials from the 80s.

i love this song. chiaki translated it for me and sent me the words so i can learn to sing it. it totally reminds me of "last christmas" by Wham. chiaki says that that's exactly the japanese equivalent of this song.

so at susie's party on saturday night all the japanese (as in, our japanese crew of friends that we just call "the japanese") were there. when the lights came up and gianma played the last song i started singing this song to them.

oh my god, they all burst out singing it at the top of their lungs. it was so cool!
