Snow, fall.NEW!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.
Sound of SnowNEW!Novelbright
Released in December 2023, this song was created as the opening theme for the TV anime A Sign of Affection.
It carefully weaves the feelings of the protagonist, who continues to search for ways to express love, while its lyrical sound—centered on piano and strings—gently envelopes this winter tale.
Despite its demanding arrangement that frequently explores the upper register, Novelbright’s Yudai Takenaka delivers a voice that resonates deeply and imparts a comforting warmth.
Issued as a single, the track preceded the anime broadcast that began in January 2024.
Because it depicts an earnest desire to reach into another person’s world, it’s perfect for moments when you want to convey your feelings to someone special, or for warming your heart on a quiet night as you watch the snow fall.
A morning hastened by snow arrives.NEW!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.

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.

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.
Dreaming UniverseBUCK-TICK
This is a work that feels as if you’re gently cradled by the vast cosmos, with a dreamy, floating sensation that is deeply soothing.
Atsushi Sakurai weaves words full of compassion that embrace loneliness, softly colored by Hisashi Imai’s spacey effects and shimmering guitar sounds.
Released to the world in May 2012 as the B-side to the single “Für Elise,” it was later reworked as the title track for the album “Yume Miru Uchuu,” commemorating the 25th anniversary of their debut in September of the same year.
The fact that it was the first release from their own label can also be seen as symbolic of their journey.
HeroYOASOBI
YOASOBI is a music duo known for the massive hit of their major-label debut song “Racing into the Night,” drawing worldwide attention.
Released in September 2023, this track was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.
The lyrics, themed around a “story that begins from the end,” powerfully convey the protagonist’s sense of loss after losing a precious companion and the resolve to set out again while holding onto those memories.
The grand, fantastical ensemble fused with Ikura’s emotional vocals instantly transports listeners into the world of the story.
It’s a richly layered number that not only resonates with trend-savvy teens but is especially recommended for anyone seeking a song that truly stirs the heart.
