[4] In September, the album was still gradually being recorded, with Kokia working with producer Kiyohide Ura for several tracks.

[6] Kokia also travelled to New York City for a week to record for her "Remember the Kiss Music Gift" project in early September.

[8] One of the songs from these sessions, "Remember the Kiss (Dedicated to "New" NY)," was released as a bonus track on the Japanese edition.

Of the covers, five are religious Christmas carols: "Amazing Grace," "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear," "The Little Drummer Boy," "The First Noël" and "We Three Kings of Orient Are".

"Ave Maria" is a cover of the Johann Sebastian Bach classical piece of music with lyrics from Hail Mary prayer in Latin.

[1][2] Christmas Gift was also simultaneously released in France as a part of a 3CD set called Kokia Collection.
