Azusa – American 80’s music is either loved or hated, these days, huh? I like more of it than I hate – but it really depends on the genre! Also, I’ve got to say that most of the people I’ve spoken with about the EXILE cover version agree with you.

めい – I agree with you about the benefits of Japanese karaoke tracks, and definitely about the wacked out eurobeat / technoparty remixes of Last Christmas…or any song for that matter!

mad, i tell you. howcome nobody likes the song? this song and that one of mariah carey makes christmas ..like.. christmas XD I can't imagine a christmas time without being smacked to death without those two songs. and i love the japanese version. and the good thing about japanese covers is there's a big chance of a karaoke file included XD ...also I totally hate all the new remixes (european and usa releases?) of Last Christmas. Totally murdered the song. So i was glad when i found out about exile's cover. XD めいs last blog post was: Merry Christmas 「第二部」

I like both of them cause I like American80’s.

But I don’t like Japanese version.
It’s merely imitation of American’s.

[...] fits in well with a recent post over at Rocking in Hakata as Deas mentions that a Japanese cover of Last Christmas has been released by EXILE. Indeed, I just heard the song for the first time tonight, and sadly but [...]

Freedom – I don’t think explaining it to people does much… Think of all the other odd songs that are crazy popular here!

I am still very surprised that Wham has a song that is beloved by the Japanese. Come On! Its Wham!

Tom – I’m just happy that there’s not a Japanese version of All I Want for Christmas is You yet. Then again, there’s always next year. Ha ha. Took them 24 years to get Wham’s song done. By that standard…they’ve got 10 years left on the clock for a Carey cover, I think.

"Last Christmas". Oh god. *shudder* That one song does its best every year to make me hate Christmas. I battle bravely against it. Toms last blog post was: Poetry about boozing.
