Song Production Information

Kenji Suzuki

The sound of bells could be heard in the distance... Yes, it was a X'mas medley.

In this song, classical Christmas songs such as "Silent Night", "Jingle Bells", "Joy to the World", and "I wish you a merry X'mas" appear consecutively.
For each song, I changed the type of guitar, technique, rhythm pattern, etc., to create a rich variety of arrangements.
I'm sure you all know these songs, so please play them during the X'mas season.

By the way, I recorded this medley when it was almost summer (laughs), so I would like to listen to it in December, too.
