Welcome to episode 127 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I talk about Takeshi Terauchi’s 1983 album, “Electric Merry Christmas.”

I hope you’ve enjoyed learning about Takeshi Terauchi’s life and career, and listening to his Christmas music. The term “legend” 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’m debating whether to add another to the mix. First up, though, is one I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I’ve managed to collect quite a few 78s, and next episode I’ll 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’ll 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’d like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know.

Welcome to episode 126 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I talk about Takeshi Terauchi’s 1979 album, “Let’s Go! Terry X’mas.” I hope you’re enjoying my coverage of Takeshi Terauchi. If you like Christmas Rock, you can’t go wrong with Terry. “Let’s Go! Terry X’mas” has a great, late 70s vibe to it, with its blend of Rock, Country, Funk and Disco. It’s one of those albums that should appeal to just about everyone.

Join me next time for the conclusion of my Takeshi Terauchi episodes. I’ll be talking about his 1983 album, “Electric Merry Christmas.” It continues his string of fantastic Christmas albums, and you’re sure to enjoy it.
