"Kitakaze no Carol" (北風のキャロル, Kitakaze no Kyaroru; lit. "North Wind Carol") is the 13th single by Japanese singer Yōko Oginome. Written by Masao Urino and Kyōhei Tsutsumi, the single was released on October 27, 1987, by Victor Entertainment.[1][2][3]
The song was used as the theme song of the TBS drama special Akachan ni Kampai! (赤ちゃんに乾杯!; Cheers for Baby!), which also starred Oginome.
"Kitakaze no Carol" peaked at No. 2 on Oricon's singles chart and also sold over 117,000 copies.[4]
In 1991, Oginome re-recorded the song in a Christmas style, titled "Kitakaze no Carol (On Christmas Day)" (北風のキャロル -on Christmas day-; "North Wind Carol -On Christmas Day-"); this version was released in the remix album New Take: Best Collections '92.
