Snow, Moon, and FlowersShonan no Kaze
This song reminds me of the importance of expressing your feelings honestly.
The lyrics are straightforward and manly, portraying love from a male perspective.
It was released in 2012 as their 13th single.
It sings of pure love—vowing to cherish someone for a lifetime.
The sound that hits you at your core and the strained, heartfelt vocals are truly gripping.
The drama-style music video matches the song perfectly and is a real tearjerker! While they’re often associated with summer songs, this one is a rare love song with a winter vibe.
You and the slopesSHISHAMO
It’s a story about going to a ski resort for fun—not just the two of us—with someone I’ve had a crush on for two years.
It’s a ski song by SHISHAMO, a girls’ band that’s hugely popular with younger generations, and the lyrics portray a sweet, relatable kind of young love that’s so cute and heartwarming.
But it turns out the person she likes actually has a girlfriend… The girl pretends not to know and locks her feelings for him away in her heart.
The melody is bright, but it’s a fleeting and bittersweet song.
I want to fall in love so much that the slopes melt.Kohmi Hirose
Kohmi Hirose’s famous winter song is “Gelaende ga Tokeru Hodo Koi Shitai” (“I Want to Fall in Love So Much the Slopes Melt”), right? It was also the theme song for a movie of the same name that focuses on winter sports and youthful romance.
As the title suggests, it portrays a passionate love unfolding on the ski slopes in midwinter.
It’s a perfect up-tempo track for the winter sports season, and listening to it on the way to the mountains is sure to crank up your excitement! Pair the ‘slope magic’—how ski wear can make you look cute or cool—with this song, and go win yourself a wonderful romance!
SparkleLila Ikuta
Even for just a fleeting moment, I want us to feel the same way… This is a heart-wrenching ballad that projects an earnest love.
Released digitally in 2022 as a solo single by Lila Ikuta, who is also active as the vocalist of the music duo YOASOBI, it was chosen as the theme song for the romance reality show “Kyou, Suki ni Narimashita: Mikan Arc.” Created from the wish that “even love that ends in unrequited feelings might be rewarded,” this song may help you find the strength to move on if you listen to it after a heartbreak—leaving you thinking, “I’m glad I loved that person.”

snow globeDaisuke
Daisuke’s 2016 winter song “Snow Dome” showcases his uniquely captivating vocals.
Using lyrics themed around a snow globe, the track reflects on a past romance—perfect for the winter season when we long for warmth.
The synth sounds that evoke a wintry atmosphere are wonderful.
First LoveHikaru Utada
The breathy tone of her voice gives it a sensual sheen that resonates in the chest as a poignant emotion.
It’s hard to believe this was a song by a 16-year-old girl at the time—the quality and the world it creates are remarkable.
From the low notes to the falsetto high notes, every resonance is tinged with longing.
Released in 1999 as her third single, the song was used as the theme for the TBS drama “Majo no Jōken” (Devil’s Advocate/Conditions of a Witch), which helped propel it to greater success.
It’s no wonder the world took notice.
A masterpiece I highly recommend for winter.
North Wind ~May It Reach You~Noriyuki Makihara
Noriyuki Makihara’s 1992 release “Kitakaze ~Kimi ni Todokimasu You ni~” is a track that enjoys strong support from fans as a hidden gem among his songs.
The word “north wind,” which doesn’t evoke the flashiness of Christmas or Valentine’s Day, directly conveys the cold and loneliness of winter.
The lyrics portray a simple, innocent feeling of love, leaving you with a touch of bittersweet emotion as you listen.
Please take time to savor the lyrics, woven with Makihara’s gentle words.
