Oasis and Last Christmas

This song is by one of my favorite acoustic guitarists, Kotaro Oshio from Japan.

Kotaro Oshio (押尾コータロー, Oshio Kōtarō) is an acoustic guitarist from Japan. Born in Osaka, on February 1, 1968, he is most well known for his work on the steel string guitar.
Oshio's music is classified within various categories including pop, new age, and jazz. His style has drawn comparisons with other highly regarded musicians such as Michael Hedges. Oshio's musical technique includes fingerpicking, slap harmonics, and precise strumming.

It's a very simple song with a melody that reminds me so much of my childhood days, in a way i can't really explain.
