It's xmas eve

You doing

Somewhere in tokyo

Waiting for youuuuuuu



Tokyo is always

It's always a lively place

But it's xmas eve

And I feel lonely all by myself



You haven't called me

For about a week

I hope you haven't forgotten

We're supposed to meet



It's xmas eve

Are you

Doing

I am somewhere in tokyo

Waiting for youuuuuu



I will always

Always

I will always like you

More than anybody in the world

I love youuuuuuuuuuuuu

24 Decembre by Pizzicato Five

Released in 1988, "24 Decembre" stands as a defining track in the electronic pop canon, crafted by the Japanese duo Pizzicato Five. The song exemplifies their signature style, blending upbeat dance rhythms with melancholic, synth-driven melodies that became a hallmark of the late 80s electronic scene. Often associated with the group's broader discography from that era, the recording captures the unique fusion of pop sensibilities and experimental sound design that characterized their work. It remains a staple in collections of electronic music history, reflecting the group's ability to create infectious yet emotionally resonant tracks that transcended regional boundaries to influence global dance music. The composition serves as a testament to the era's innovative approach to synthesizer-based pop, cementing Pizzicato Five's legacy in the genre.
