SWEET SOUL RECORDS Owner Naoki Yamauchi's 4 Holiday Songs to Listen to During the Holiday Season [HOLIDAY MUSIC]

Dec 20, 2015
December, when the city is enveloped in illuminations and the Christmas mood is in full swing, offers many opportunities to spend warm moments with family and loved ones. However, as soon as you step outside, you feel the cold, wrapped up in your bodies, and it's a time to reflect on the past year and welcome the new year.

So, FASHION HEADLINE asked music lovers in the industry about their favorite songs to listen to during the holiday season!

This five-part series will introduce music that will make your holiday memories even more vivid, including songs to listen to alone, songs to listen to at parties, and songs that will refresh your spirit.

In the final part, we will introduce four songs selected by Naoki Yamauchi, label owner of SWEET SOUL RECORDS.

Dry the Bone - "Hit"

At UKSOUL, this is a beloved song. In the Tokyo winter, when the chill is felt to the bone, this song will keep you warm with its overflowing vocal energy and the dramatic sound of the saxophone.

"Conspiracy"
Drizabone




Frank McComb "Gotta Find a Way"

Winter is the season of love. While it's nice to enjoy a happy Christmas, the bittersweet memories of unrequited love are also exquisite. This love song depicts unrequited love, performed by Frank McComb, the jazz and soul prodigy who inspired me to start my own label. Unrequited love...an old memory (lol).

"Love Stories"
Frank McComb




Ledisi "Give Love On Christmas Day"

Reading the mood, I've chosen my favorite Christmas song. It's not that well-known, but it would be a sin not to spread the word about great songs. The excitement of the performance towards the end synchronizes with the overwhelming feeling of having made it through the year.

"It's Christmas"
Ledisi




Beyoncé Feat. Stevie Wonder - Ledisi "So Amazing"

When I feel the cold, I'm moved and realize I'm alive in the present! This song, a cover of the late Luther by two of America's biggest stars, is perfect for times like those. It's the cold winter that makes you want to listen to this full-power, positive song of love with your loved ones. And it's the cold that makes warmth feel even happier, isn't it?
