March in the SnowNEW!Ankou Team
This song, featured in episode 9 of the anime Girls und Panzer, is a special track that transforms a military song from the Meiji era into a modern anime song.
The original song’s worldview—frankly depicting the hardships of soldiers marching through the snow—is conveyed through the warm vocals of the five members of the Anglerfish Team.
It was included on the Deep Panzer CD desu! released in August 2013, and later on the 10th Anniversary Best Album.
It’s a quintessentially Japanese winter song.

A gem of an anime song that depicts a clear, wintry scene and a quiet resolve amid the changing seasons.
It was released in November 2017 as the ending theme for the anime “Just Because!,” which portrays the youthful lives of high school students.
Sung by the three characters Mio Natsume, Hazuki Morikawa, and Ena Komiya, the song’s structure beautifully layers each of their feelings.
Its lyrical resonance, like falling snow, is perfect for a winter night when you want to reflect on your relationship with someone important.
An ideal companion for a Christmas Eve spent alone.

1 on the digital charts.

POWDER SNOWNEW!Rina Ogata (CV: Nana Mizuki)
This is a character song by Rina Ogata from the anime WHITE ALBUM.
It’s a song released in January 2010 that reinterprets the ending theme of the original game, with lyrics by Naoko Sutani, composition by Naoya Shimokawa, and arrangement by Jumpei Fujita.
The lyrics depict poignant emotions through the whiteness and coldness of snow, and the piano-centered arrangement creates a winter ballad that resonates deeply.
It’s the kind of song you’ll want to listen to while watching the snow fall softly.
Merry Christmas for just the two of usNEW!Ryoma Echizen (CV: Junko Minagawa)
This is a ballad included on the 2006 mini-album “PROGRESS.” Created to coincide with Ryoma Echizen’s birthday, the song carries a Christmas-like romantic atmosphere.
Lyrics and composition are by UZA, with arrangement by Tetsuo Tachibana.
The lyrics gently depict a star-studded night sky and a special moment shared by just two people, offering a glimpse of the gentleness Ryoma Echizen doesn’t usually show—its expressive emotion is especially appealing.
Listening to it on Christmas night will make it all the more heartwarming.
Snow, silent, by the window.NEW!Yuki Nagato
This is a character song for Yuki Nagato that depicts a winter scene wrapped in silence.
It was released in 2006 as the single “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Character Song Vol.
2.” With lyrics by Aki Hata, composition by Tomoaki Tashiro, and arrangement by Noriyasu Agematsu, the piece delicately expresses restrained emotions and a world of silence.
Its lyrics, which feel like quietly retracing memories by a window, highlight the nature of Yuki Nagato as a character who keeps her feelings inside.
It’s recommended listening for a quiet Christmas night.
Song of FlowersAimer
This is the one chosen as the theme song for Chapter 1 of the film Fate/stay night [Heaven’s Feel].
It’s a track by the popular singer Aimer, known for numerous anime songs like “Zankyo Sanka,” and it was released in 2017 as her 13th single.
The tense sound arrangement, with beautifully resonant strings, is striking.
You get the feeling of being enveloped by its ethereal soundscape.
The film is a trilogy, so watching all three parts helps you understand the world of the song even more.
I also recommend the TV series!
