I was surprised 3 times.
Firstly ,when I knew this news that Earth,Wind & Fire was going to release a Christmas album.
Secondly, when I hear some Japanese sentence from the standard for kids"Yukiya konnkonn"
Thirdly , when my soul was so moved to dance with funky cover "Winter Wonderland "
Anyway this is the historical issue of EWF.
Who imagined that EWF released season album?
EWF arranged traditional tunes in the style of EWF and added holy and funky.
Special Event starts with "Joy to the World " full of the live feeling featuring a shout of Philip.
"Somebody Clap Your Hands"
I felt like being in front of stage covered with Christmas Illumination.
There included 2 songs of EWF.
"Happy Seasons "(Happy Feelin') and "December (September)
I wondered how these great songs change before I listened to...
But I got disapointed.
They only put the portion of "Happy Season' into "Happy Feelin'" as the portions of September were changed into December.
These 2 songs should not be featured, I thought.
The CM music which changed "System of Survival" into the Coca Cola,
That was further fresher.
However, I really got satisfied with other songs.
They were beautiful and surprising enough to spend wonderful season.
Especially. "Winter Wonderland "
During the season last year, this song was always on played in my brain.
