In this episode, I talk about Takeshi Terauchi\u2019s 1983 album, \u201cElectric Merry Christmas.\u201d I hope you\u2019ve enjoyed learning about Takeshi Terauchi\u2019s life and career, and listening to his Christmas music. The term \u201clegend\u201d tends to get thrown around a lot, but Terry truly lived up to the name. As you all know, December is the high point of the year for me. I have several great episodes lined up. I\u2019m debating whether to add another to the mix. First up, though, is one I\u2019ve been wanting to do for a long time. I\u2019ve managed to collect quite a few 78s, and next episode I\u2019ll be sharing a selection of them with you. They offer a fascinating look at the sort of Christmas music that was available prior to and just after the Christmas pop music explosion of the 1950s. I\u2019ll share more details on my other December episodes next time around, so be sure to tune in. 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!
