Songs for Every Season: Timeless and Popular Tracks of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter (61–70)
Winter is starting.Noriyuki Makihara
This is Noriyuki Makihara’s 74th single, and it was used as the commercial song for Sapporo Beer’s “Fuyu Monogatari” (Winter Story) that was on the market in 1991.
Perhaps because it was intended for use in a commercial, the lyrics include the keyword “beer.”
SAKURAIkimonogakari
This is Ikimono-gakari’s debut single.
It made them instantly famous.
The lyrics mention real places from their hometown, such as actual bridges and train stations.
Because of that connection, the song is used as the approaching train melody at Odakyu Odawara Line’s Ebina Station.
Winter,againGLAY
This song is GLAY’s 16th single, and it became their biggest hit.
Doesn’t the intro sound kind of like that one song? Apparently, they created it with Celine Dion’s Titanic theme, “My Heart Will Go On,” as a reference.
Snow BlossomMika Nakashima
This song is Mika Nakashima’s 10th single.
It seems the music video was filmed in a room below 0 degrees Celsius to create a sense of realism.
There are scenes where her hair and eyelashes appear frozen, and they might actually be frozen.
