LOVER SOULJUDY AND MARY
It used to play in a liquor commercial back then, and I loved the song—I often sang it at karaoke too.
It might seem simple, but it’s actually quite a difficult song.
I adore the very cute, sweet voice.
It’s a song that brings to mind February, winter, and snow.
It’s very cute.
I’m Pegasus, you’re Polaris.MISIA
This is the 30th single by MISIA, the female singer-songwriter with a five-octave vocal range whose solo performance of the Japanese national anthem at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics moved audiences around the world.
Written specifically as the theme song for the TV drama “S – Saigo no Keikan – (The Last Policeman),” the track opens with a delicate piano tone and richly layered strings that create a mysterious atmosphere.
It is also known as a song dedicated to drummer Jun Aoyama, who passed away suddenly in 2013, and you can sense that message in the lyrics.
With its full-bodied arrangement and her commanding, overwhelming vocals, it’s a number that gives you courage—perfect to listen to before Valentine’s Day.
DEPARTURESglobe
February’s days end early, and it’s easy to feel a little lonely, isn’t it? That’s when “DEPARTURES” gently keeps you company.
It’s a song by globe, the music unit led by Tetsuya Komuro.
Since it was used in a JR commercial that aired in winter, many people feel like listening to it when it snows.
The lyrics are based on real experiences and carry a bittersweet tone—something you’ll likely relate to.
Plus, the rap part helps keep the mood from getting too dark, which is a nice touch.
UrarakaAmano Tsukiko
February is a month when we often find ourselves lost in thought, isn’t it? We recall how the year-end and New Year went, think about Setsubun, and feel that spring is just around the corner.
Uraraka is a song that contemplates the events from January to March.
It’s performed by singer-songwriter Tsuki Amano.
Its intense, rock-tinged melody and her husky vocals create a distinctive world.
If you listen to this track, even those drifting off in deep thought will be jolted wide awake.

Slave to chocolateSKE48
Speaking of February, many people probably feel like listening to songs that get them excited for Valentine’s Day.
SKE48’s 11th single, “Choco no Dorei,” released in 2013 with Jurina Matsui as the center, is a Valentine’s song that makes you feel cute and happy.
It’s a track that straightforwardly sings about a boy’s feelings as he gets tossed around by Valentine’s Day and chocolate—he wants chocolate on Valentine’s Day, and he wants to know how the girl he likes feels.
Come, springdōyō
This song was composed in the late Taisho period.
It depicts the people of the snow country longing for spring.
It is said that “Mii-chan,” who appears in the lyrics, was modeled after the lyricist Gofu Soma’s eldest daughter, Fumiko.
Some parts of the lyrics use baby talk.
Soldiers of Februarythe cabs
A song by the cabs, who disbanded in 2013.
It’s included on their 2011 mini-album “Ichiban Hajime no Dekigoto” (The Very First Thing That Happened).
The sentimental melody layered over lyrics that evoke a wintry chill tightens the chest.
It’s a track that lets you savor winter’s loneliness one last time in February, just before spring arrives.
