Shino Kobayashi - Winter Letters | Record Day DAY1 Eligible Item, First Press Bonus Included [NEW]

A four-track Christmas single by Shino Kobayashi, former vocalist/composer of Harmony Hatch and currently active as a solo artist.

"Blue Mint Christmas" (A1) is a neo-acoustic/guitar pop number that combines guitars that sparkle like snowflakes with the melancholic melody of 80's idol pop. "Reindeer Night" (A2, under the name Tan Tan Rudolph) was created for a radio program and depicts a fabled Christmas scene from the perspective of a reindeer. "Stollen in the Afternoon" (B1) depicts a peaceful winter moment spent in a warm room with an annui-sounding vocal and soft rock arrangement. "Wheat and Rice" (B2) is a waltz song that sings of the unwavering joy of welcoming the coming Christmas season with your beloved dog.

Each track is depicted in a different context and sound image, but as the record plays the artists' thoughts about Christmas come together into a single worldview, making this a record that is like an omnibus short film.
