Gentle Tragedykuroyume
Kuroyume’s third single “Yasashii Higeki,” released in 1995.
Before this song came out, a member left the band, and from around that time they continued as a duo rock band.
When they debuted, they were still a visual-kei band, but later on their sound took on a much stronger punk feel, didn’t it? The word “February,” which appears repeatedly in the lyrics—perhaps it’s about love—conveys a sense of pain, and listening to it in the cold season makes that tightness in the chest feel even more intense.

A medium-tempo rock tune included on the 2012 album “Queens are trumps.” February means Valentine’s Day, right? The lyrics, written by Timo—TOMOMI, the bassist—portray a bittersweet, intricate romance, making it a song you’ll want to listen to quietly.
It carries a mood that’s distinctly Timo’s.
It seems to express many facets of love’s sweet-and-sour and slightly bitter flavors, giving it real depth.
With its bitter resonance, it envelops you in a sentimental feeling.

It’s a winter love song that sings about the sweet season of romance.

Released as a digital single in December 2024, this is said to be ME:I’s first winter song.
It’s a perfect pick for winter dates or spending the holiday season with someone special.
Why not listen to it together with your loved ones—your partner, friends, or family?

Flower’s Shirayukihime lingers in the heart as a weighty ballad, perfect for the cold season.
