Its appeal lies in a danceable, catchy tune that blows away the cold.
Released by Masayoshi Oishi in January 2024, this piece is the opening theme for the TV anime “Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!” It is also included on the album “UNIVERSE.” The lyrics, which express a gal’s charm in the Hokkaido dialect, are striking and evoke a heartwarming feeling just by listening.

When it comes to winter songs by the golden duo of Mai Kuraki and Detective Conan, I feel like your generation might be revealed by whether you think of the 2002 Christmas song Winter Bells or this Shiroi Yuki.
Released in 2006 as Kuraki’s 25th single, this track served as the ending theme for the aforementioned TV anime Detective Conan.
Its clichéd chord progression gives it that quintessential feel, resulting in a beautiful song that’s both wistful and lyrical.
The key change in the latter half adds a dramatic touch.
Kuraki’s exceptional expressive power as a vocalist is on full display!

It’s included on their third album, “Walküre Reborn!,” released in 2021.
This piece energetically sings about feelings for someone important, building to a heart-stirring finish as you listen.
You can practically sense the film’s grand scale from this song alone.
The Macross series really has fantastic music.

The ending theme for the second season of the TV anime “Elegant Yokai Apartment Life.” This work tells the cheerful everyday story woven in a “yokai apartment,” where yokai, ghosts, and humans live together, after Yushi Inaba starts living on his own.
The lyrics, which speak to the importance of once-in-a-lifetime encounters, combine with Rosalina’s warm and distinctive vocal style to create a moving track.
BURNyama×WurtS
The collaboration between yama and WurtS has finally happened! Centered on the theme of “inner passion,” it portrays the hidden feelings of anime characters and the clashes of their emotions.
Set against a tumultuous era, the song depicts the conflict between each character’s sense of justice.
It’s a compelling track that fuses their distinctive vocals and worldviews.
Chosen as the opening theme for Cour 2 of the TV anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story – Kyoto Inferno, it’s perfect not only for anime fans but also for anyone who wants to feel intense emotions and inner struggle.

This is a heartwarming love story captured in a single song.
Performed by Novelbright and released in December 2023, it drew wide attention after being chosen as the opening theme for the anime ‘A Sign of Affection.
‘ Its gentle, warm melody is memorable and tenderly embraces the listener.
The lyrics convey hope for a future walked together with a loved one, prompting reflection on the bonds we share with those who matter most.
It’s perfect for a winter night—listen with your partner while gazing at a snowy landscape.
snow meltingTHE SIXTH LIE
As the title suggests, THE SIXTH LIE’s “Yusetsu” resonates with a heat intense enough to melt snow.
Released in 2020, the track was chosen as the ending theme for the anime Golden Kamuy, marking the band’s second collaboration with the series.
Its lyrics depict the resolve to push past a seemingly endless, frigid winter and run toward the next season, giving listeners the courage to endure the cold.
It’s an emotional song that inspires you to keep your head up and move forward—even when you’re facing not just the chill, but harsh, wintry circumstances in life.
When winter tends to drag your thoughts into the negative, this song is a perfect boost to help you look ahead.
