Christmas Non-Stop Carol is the first Christmas music album by the Giza Studio recording label. It was released on 1 December 2010. The album consists of English-language versions of Christmas-themed songs. The interpretations include new and old artists from Giza Studio as well as Sakai Izumi's previously released music.[1]

Background

[edit]

The album consists of 16 tracks, including 15 with vocals and one instrumental.[1]

Zard originally recorded "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" in 1999 and released it as an EP single under same title in limited copies.[2] The arranger Takeshi Hayama used vocals from that recording and added a Christmas-themed melody as a background.

The album includes the final recordings of Rina Aiuchi and Saegusa Yuuka [ja] before their career hiatuses at the end of the year.[3][4]

In 2013, the vocalist of Garnet Crow, Yuri Nakamura, performed "Auld Lang Syne" on their final live tour in an acoustic arrangement.[5]

Charts

[edit]

The album debuted at #71 on the Oricon Weekly Albums Chart, selling more than 3,000 copies in its first week.[6]
