“Yuki Matsuri” (Snow Festival), written and composed by Minami Ranbo, portrays a longing for spring to arrive early.

Its distinctive cadence, evocative of the harsh chill of winter, lingers in the ear.

Even as people make merry in the snow, warming themselves as they celebrate, the lyrics express an earnest wish for the warmth of spring to come soon.

In the latter half of the song, the gradual approach of spring is depicted, letting us feel a ray of hope for its arrival.

While recalling childhood memories of playing in the snow, let’s sing it with a wish—just as the lyrics say—for an early spring.
