Masterpieces You’ll Want to Listen to in February: Winter Songs and Valentine’s Songs (31–40)
Chocolate DiscoPerfume
Chocolate Disco, released by Perfume on Valentine’s Day in 2008.
This track is one of Perfume’s signature songs, a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at concerts and festivals, and a Valentine’s Day staple.
Come February, you can hear it everywhere—the song captures the emotional ups and downs between guys and girls around Valentine’s, along with that unique mix of excitement and jitters.
And it’s super cute—something both men and women can totally relate to.
Daphne (winter daphne)DISH//
This is the 14th single by DISH//, a four-member dance-rock band that made their name with hits like “Neko” and “No.1.” The song was chosen as the theme for the TV drama “The Winners in February,” and it perfectly matches the drama’s theme, especially since jinchoge (wintersweet/daphne) typically blooms from February to March.
Co-written with Hattori from Macaroni Enpitsu, its positive, buoyant melody—paired with a bouncy shuffle beat—creates a comfortable sound.
It’s a perfect song for the season from February into spring, singing out messages we don’t often manage to say to the people we care about.
HEROMr.Children
When the cold season comes, we start longing for the warmth of another person, don’t we? HERO, a song about human love, reminds us that each of us is the protagonist who protects someone precious.
Released by Mr.
Children in 2002, it was used in the NTT docomo Group 10th Anniversary commercial.
Over a weighty rock sound, Kazutoshi Sakurai’s vocals resonate as if speaking directly to you.
If you feel anxious stepping into February with a new chapter of life ahead, this song will gently stay by your side.
Ogre’s PantsTanaka Seiji
This song sets child-friendly lyrics to the Italian popular tune “Funiculì, Funiculà.” The lyrics are about an ogre’s pants and are completely unrelated to the original song.
It is often sung on programs like NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho” and is popular with young children.
Confession RehearsalHONEY WORKS
I’m thinking of giving chocolate on Valentine’s Day, but I can’t help feeling anxious.
The support song that captures those feelings is “Kokuhaku Yokou Renshu feat.
Natsuki Enomoto (CV: Haruka Tomatsu).” It’s a track included on the album “Rokugen Astrology,” produced by the creator unit HoneyWorks, known for many romance-themed works.
The tone of Haruka Tomatsu’s vocals conveys the fluttering excitement, making it a song that really brings those emotions to life.

FebruaryShido
SID is a visual kei band with an appealing balance between beautiful traditional Japanese nuances and friendly melodies.
The guitar riff, which seems to paint a wintry scene, feels pleasant.
Mao’s lyrics, said to be written with his soon-to-be-married younger brother in mind, sing of a love for a partner that can warm even the cold of February, and listening to it brings a sense of calm.
Playing SID’s “February” on a drive date would likely create a wonderful atmosphere.
It’s a warm song that conveys a sense of bond and celebrates the future of two people.
The Hill in FebruaryZABADAK
To be straightforward, when it comes to songs associated with February, “February Hill” comes to mind, doesn’t it? It’s a track from ZABADAK’s classic album “Tooi Ongaku” (Distant Music).
Some people might picture rock as loud and intense, but this piece features a beautiful harmonica tone that creates a pleasantly soothing melody.
There are various interpretations, but it’s said that the melody expresses the wind blowing across a hill.
First, give it a listen and think about it in your own way.
