Toshio Matsuura | from TOKYO MOON December 19 ON AIR
An Early Christmas Song for Grown-Ups
On Sunday nights, your own time flows leisurely with exquisite music, a moment of bliss for adults. Delivering such rich moments is DJToshio Matsuura's radio program "TOKYO MOON"──. Every Sunday, he broadcasts carefully selected wonderful music from around the world and topics that stimulate intellectual curiosity for adults, from 7 PM on Inter FM 76.1MHz. Here, we present the program as soon as it airs each week. This week, we featured a special on Christmas songs for adults.
Text by MATSUURA Toshio
A TOKYO MOON Christmas
It's been about 110 years since Christmas began as a "festivity" in Japan. Now, it's become indispensable for closing out the year. Even without religious significance, I believe spending unhurried time with loved ones like family and friends during this busy period is very important. This week, we brought you a TOKYO MOON-style adult Christmas, a little earlier than usual.

Relaxing at home is nice, but...
And around this time, Christmas parties are held almost every day, everywhere. This year, I'll be participating in a live & DJ event at a jazz club in Shibuya. Also, at the Italian restaurant in Ebisu where I'm handling the music production, we'll be playing a special set to accompany the Christmas dinner. Please look forward to it.
