こんにちは、ようこそ - Kon'nichiwa, yōkoso to the Day 21 track of Aerhyn's Acapella Advent Calendar 2022 - on Day 23.

I would've posted this sooner, but I've been hit by an unlucky streak. However, the Christmas miracle this year will be 3 tracks over the course of tomorrow to lead you into the big day.

Today's track is very, VERY special. It definitely was not planned originally, but after the opportunity appeared, I could not say no.

I was approached on Messenger by Shige from a little group on facebook: Vocal Japan - a facebook of Japanese acapella fans. Apparently, they have been following my Acapella Advent journey for a few years now, and asked if I'd be interested in their current project called "VOCA Journey", introducing Japanese to acapella from around the world.

Of course, I said "yes!", and asked if maybe they'd want to collaborate on a piece for the Advent Calendar this year. Here is the result. I hope this can be a new yearly tradition here at #AerhynsAcapellaAdvent.

Please enjoy my cover of Aoi Kakuta's "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" featuring Ryu Saito.

Please share this holiday spirit with your friends & families, and anyone who you might think may enjoy some acapella Christmas cheer!

Tune in tomorrow for Days 22, 23, & 24!!!

Also, please share my advent calendar and the musical Christmas spirit with your friends and families!!! If you have any song ideas, don't hesitate to email AerhynsAcapellaAdvent@gmail.com with your suggestions.
