Its neat the way the Japanese authors assume their readers are familiar with the music of Simon Love enough to have expectations of a Christmas song.
That alone is playful enough to make this a delightful 7" single. The song is, as you'd expect from Simon Love, a sparkling Christmas pop song with a 60s girl pop vibe. It's one of my favorites on the Fortuna Pop! label. (Ueda)
