    80年代後半のある時、NHK-FMの「サウンド ストリート」のDJを当時担当していた #松浦雅也 さんがこの曲を紹介してくれたのをよく覚えている。
    まだ、#RaymondBriggs による
    絵本としての『 #SnowMan 』が有名になる一寸だけ前だったかな?
    その絵本をアニメ化した『Snow Man』がヒットして、原作の絵本も有名になったという流れだったと記憶している。
    最初の曲はアニメ『Snow Man』の劇中歌。

  8. No matter how old I get I still have a soft spot for the animated version of #RaymondBriggs's, #TheSnowman. I can't resist watching it at #Christmas despite how dark in tone I now find it as an adult.

  19. @jens going through my catalogue of #MSX games with 5yo #BeardGrabber, I've been running into similar issues, and especially those 80s and 90s games were mostly arcade–based or –inspired, and walking simulators weren't really a thing yet.
    Yesterday I thought I'd found a nice game I remember playing myself quite a bit, #TheSnowman by #Quicksilva, based on #RaymondBriggs' book (frgcb.blogspot.com/2015/12/the), which had only a moderate timer, and enemies would only eat the lump of snow you were holding, and not kill your character.
    However, getting on and off stairs was tricky even for me, and I quickly discovered that kiddo struggled with staying on platforms; which apparently does kill you.
    So many games that I think would be so much more playable for beginning gamers if they'd have an option to turn off the timer, enable invincibility, or toggle some form of no-clip, yet would still remain entertaining.

  24. "I wanted to see if a nuclear attack does happen, what do people actually do? [...] The authorities were playing it down, pretending it's like the Second World War, when it jolly well wasn't. I wanted people to know what's involved, then they could make up their minds."

These are by me and my partner. We’re waiting for the call, Penguin Books. #RaymondBriggs #Illustration #BadDrawing #ForgiveMeRaymond
