It\u2019s always fun discovering something new. Join me back here on the 25th for Akiko\u2019s second Christmas album, \u201cHave Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.\u201d It features more stripped-down arrangements and puts a lot more focus on Akiko\u2019s vocals. It\u2019s another great album you\u2019re sure to enjoy. As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If have any suggestions, or if you\u2019d like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know. Remember, I've added a button to my Ko-fi page. If you'd like to support me one cup of coffee at a time, a donation is only $3. I\u2019ve also opened a Redbubble store. I only have a couple designs up, but keep an eye on it as I\u2019ll be trying to add more. Half of any proceeds or donations received will be donated to support the people of Ukraine, while the rest will be used to purchase new Japanese Christmas music to review for future episodes. You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. And if you get a chance, leave me a review on iTunes. Thanks!
