Judy and Mary -- Chiisana Koro Kara (小さな頃から)


This was never meant as a Xmas song (the January 1995 release would illustrate that), but again this is a personal choice, since along with trf's "Samui Yoru Dakara"寒い夜だから...Because It's a Cold Night), Judy and Mary's "Chiisana Koro Kara" (Since I Was Little) was one song that I'd heard over and over again on another late-night show, especially during December for some reason. Vocal YUKI and bassist Yoshihito Onda(恩田快人)created this song, and I think it does fit the Xmas mood at least in melody and delivery since YUKI has that girlish voice.


Here's the concert version of the song. "Chiisana Koro Kara" peaked at No. 37 on Oricon and was a track on Judy & Mary's 2nd album, "Orange Sunshine". It went as high as No. 5 on the weeklies and became the 46th-ranked album of 1995. I think what makes the song for me is the intro and YUKI's final yell.
