It’s a J-rock Christmas 2007
December 24, 2007I wish you a merry Christmas! Last night, I went ahead and uploaded three Christmas inspired J-rock songs to my Box.net media player. They will stay up until the second week of January then I’ll switch back to the old songs I had up. If you have any other J-rock Christmas songs to share, please post them in the replies, I would love to hear them!
-The Cherry Coke$- “Auld Lang Syne”
-Ellegarden- “Santa Claus”
-L’arc~en~ciel- “Hurry Xmas”
edit: the picture is Koyuki from BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad, one of my favorite anime. I drew the Santa Claus hat on him myself using MS Paint. I know, it’s pretty bad ^_^
