When I started researching this, I didn\u2019t realize this would turn into a True Crime episode, at least in part. There was a lot more I could have added to Katsumi Shigeru\u2019s story, but after multiple cuts and edits, I still had to adjust the tempo on that part of the episode to get it to fit within the running time of the song. I lost a fair amount of sleep, but I\u2019m glad I was able to get this out before the end of the month. I\u2019m still a little behind schedule, but I\u2019m going to try to get a few things done this week so that I\u2019m not scrambling at the last minute with my Christmas In July episodes. If things work out, I might add another episode to my July schedule. That said, join me back here next month for at least two really fun episodes. Up first is the 1970 album, \u201cX\u2019mas Golden Hits\u201d by the Candle-Light Orchestra and the Singers Three. It has a great New Sound vibe, and if you liked Kayo Ishu\u2019s \u201cScat Christmas,\u201d you\u2019re sure to enjoy this one. Then join me on the 25th for my fifth annual Christmas In July special. I\u2019ll cover a selection of tropical and summery Christmas songs. It\u2019s always an enjoyable episode and you won\u2019t want to miss it. 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!
