snow-cappedChiharu Matsuyama
A beloved winter song by Chiharu Matsuyama, a singer-songwriter from Hokkaido, first released to the world on his 1978 album “Arukitsuzukeru Toki” (When You Keep Walking).
It opens with the quiet image of white snow falling steadily, and gently sings of the feelings that well up while alone in a cold room.
There’s nothing in particular to be sad about, yet the restrained, powerful lyrics leave an impression as they convey the earnest wish to simply hold someone dear.
In 1997, it was remade as the B-side to the single “Christmas,” and was also used in a commercial for Corona heating appliances.
It’s a piece that stays close to you on a silent winter night, when the falling snow mirrors your thoughts, offering quiet companionship as you think of someone special in a warm room.
snowcat
The folk group Neko’s 1972 single “Yuki” is a classic in which the band gives voice to a song written and composed by Takuro Yoshida.
The protagonist’s aching longing for someone far away overlaps with the quietly accumulating snowfall.
The delicate tone of the 12-string guitar, the hi-hat-driven rhythm, and the restrained vocals create a clear, transparent sound that evokes the sophistication of urban folk.
How about listening to it on a winter night when you miss someone you can’t meet, watching the snow dance outside your window? It’s a song that sinks into the heart, keeping you company when you want to linger over past memories in a warm room.
Snow, fall.Gamu
This song, which opens Gam’s December 1981 album Kazabana, by the lyrical folk duo renowned in the 1980s, is a winter ballad that echoes with bittersweet feelings entrusted to gently falling snow.
Carried by soft guitar tones, it delicately portrays the tremor of a heart thinking of someone amid a scene of swirling snow.
The transparent harmonies and introspective lyrics weave a world imbued with Gam’s signature lyricism, offering a warmth that seems to nestle into winter’s stillness.
It’s a track that seeps into the heart when, alone in the cold season, you find yourself recalling days gone by or someone dear.
A morning hastened by snow arrives.Official HIGE DANDism
A love song that begins with the image of a lover shrinking in the glowing passenger seat, painting the arrival of morning and a sense of impending farewell.
Included on the indie-era mini-album “Love and Peace Are Within You” released in April 2015, the song captures the protagonist’s anxious feelings as they grapple with unspoken emotions during the fleeting hours of a snowy morning.
The sense of being cornered each time the alarm goes off, the poignant attempt to stretch time with trivial talk, and the frustration of greeting the morning without finding the magic words.
Its old-school rock sound, driving beat, and a chorus that climbs in pitch leave a strong impression.
Chosen by fan club vote as the number one song to listen to in winter, this track perfectly suits the bittersweet situation of searching for words on the verge of parting with a lover.
Yume YumeONE OK ROCK
I think ONE OK ROCK is the band that every guy dreams of.
I’m always thinking, “If I’m going to do a band, I want to do ONE OK ROCK!” but the reality is it’s hard to find someone who can sing their keys…
That said, this time with “Yume Yume,” the vocal range is E3–C5, and there aren’t a lot of repeated high notes, so I think more people will be able to sing it.
However, it has more rap parts than singing… You might struggle with the rap sections when learning it! Try changing the playback speed on YouTube and practice by following the lyrics slowly.
If you can sing it, it should go over really well at karaoke, so it’s nice to have at least one ONE OK ROCK song in your repertoire!
U R not aloneGReeeeN
Originally written for the male idol group NEWS and later self-covered, this is a moving number.
The lyrics, like a letter to one’s past self, are striking, and many listeners may find courage in the protagonist who keeps pursuing a dream that others once mocked.
You can hear GReeeeN’s version on the album “UreD,” released in April 2018.
When you feel lonely on the path toward your goal or start to doubt your choices, this song will surely become a source of support.
It’s a gem of a cheer song that teaches the importance of believing in yourself to the very end.
Dream LightHiroshi Kitaoka
Hiroshi Kitaoka’s debut single.
Released in June 1984, it marked a brilliant start, winning numerous newcomer awards including the ABC Kayō Grand Prize Silver Award, the TV Asahi Music Festival Newcomer Award, and the 17th Japan Cable Awards Newcomer Award.
Although he later established a unique style as an onnagata (female-role) singer, this song lets you savor his richly emotional vocals straight up as an enka singer.
It is also included on his best-of album “~Hitohira Kasanete~,” and continues to be beloved by many fans as an essential track when discussing his career.
