This is the latest from J-Pop star Hyadain (Kenichi Maeyamada). He's generally known as a composer of anime songs, but he also likes to cut loose with some original jams, like this one, which he composes on his PC. "Xmas? I Don't Know Such A Thing" (also translates as"Christmas? What's That? Is It Tasty?") is about being single at Christmastime. And it's not a happy song. Hyadain isn't singing"Jingle Bells"; he's singing "Single Hell". And, as I understand it, when you see the girls dancing around with the laptop computers, Hyadain is singing about free internet porn (and giving a whole new meaning to the phrase "White Christmas"). It's all in good fun, though, kinda like Andy Samberg's Lonely Island tunes. And it doesn't hurt that Hyadain recruited cute young actress Takayama Yuko for the video. The song will be available, with numerous mixes, on an extended CD/DVD single due out November 23.
