Jazz vocalist akiko has a Christmas album coming up, produced by Konishi Yasuharu! Aside from an instrumental track written by akiko, titled "12gatsu 25nichi no asa." ("The morning of December 25"), all songs are covers of Christmas standards everyone knows. "Winter Wonderland" will feature Ska Flames, who for the first time in their 20-year career collaborate on another artist's track.
The mastering was done in an unusual approach, first cutting an analog version and then digital remastering the result.
