Can’t Stop Fallin’ in Loveglobe
This is a smash hit song by glove that sold 1.
3 million copies.
Praised by fans as a “timeless classic,” it remains one of glove’s most popular tracks.
It was featured in a JR East commercial, and with this song they made their first appearance on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
The song exudes an overall sense of loneliness and poignancy.
The lyrics reveal the anguish of a woman involved in a forbidden love.
Even though the word “winter” never appears, the melancholic sound and the expression about the coming season being “harsh” naturally evoke the feeling of winter—such is the power of this piece.
March in the SnowKenko Nagai
Born of the harsh experiences he endured on campaign during the First Sino-Japanese War, this song was composed with heartfelt sincerity by Takeko Nagai, a Japanese Army officer and composer.
Unlike the bold and heroic military songs of the time, it offers something different: it sets the soldiers’ unvarnished feelings—hunger and cold as they trudge through snow, and a crushing sense of despair—to a somewhat plaintive yet sprightly melody built on the yo (pentatonic) scale.
Believed to have been composed around February 1895, its melody can be heard on albums such as Immortal Masterpieces of Japanese Marches, Vol.
2.
It is memorably featured in the film Mount Hakkoda and the anime Girls und Panzer, where it serves as a theme that reflects both harsh circumstances and the hearts of those who endure them—lingering in the memories of many.
When you wish to reflect deeply on the power of music born of history and the stories behind it, you might quietly lend it your ear.

Like snow falling and piling up quietly, this song gently seeps into the heart.
Akira Inaba’s expansive vocals tenderly embrace the sorrow of lost love.
Released in July 1994, the track was included on the best-of album “REQUEST ~ My Best Songs Vol.
1 ~.” It’s perfect for spending a cold winter night alone or when you want to forget unpleasant things.
Listen by the snow-covered window, and the feelings deep within your heart will gradually unwind.
Snow BlossomRiko Moriwaka

It’s a song by enka singer Satoko Moriwaka from Gōtsu City in Shimane Prefecture, released as a single in 1988.
Her voice, with its sorrowful tremble, leaves a strong impression.
This is exactly what people mean by a song that “soaks into the heart.” It’s crafted so vividly that you can almost picture a scene from a drama or film—a bittersweet love story.
When you’re in the mood to sink into a gentle melancholy, give it a listen.
