Ivory Color is a four-piece co-ed nostalgic piano rock band formed in 2015.
Their winter song is “Fuyu no Atogaki” (“Afterword of Winter”), from a group whose poignant, empathy-evoking songs have become a hot topic.
The lyrics depict the first winter after a breakup, when the absence of a lover sinks in with a deep loneliness—and it truly pierces the heart.
You can feel both the cold and the solitude so vividly that it comes across like a lived experience.
Layer that with a sentimental melody, and your tear ducts are bound to give way.

Their songs are filled with the brilliance and bittersweetness of youth.

meringuemakaroni enpitsu
Many people have romantic memories associated with winter, right? That’s why I’d like to recommend the song “Meringue.” It’s by Macaroni Empitsu.
The song compares a love that feels like it might disappear—but somehow never does—to snow, and further, to meringue.
By the way, meringue is a pure-white confection made by whipping egg whites, and it’s surprisingly slow to melt.
The song also features lots of rhymes in its phrases, so some listeners interpret “meringue” as a wordplay echoing “gelände” (ski slope) as well.
Be sure to explore the lyrics’ meanings yourself.
