White Winter Love。haji→
This is Haji→’s hugely popular winter song, loved for its distinctive voice that sticks in your head after just one listen and its familiar, sing-along melody.
It’s a track that expresses the frustration of not being able to convey your feelings to the person you love.
Winter MarchHarukamirai
Their songs are filled with the brilliance and bittersweetness of youth.
This track is included on the album “Eternal Flower” and was released in January 2019.
It features Harukamirai’s signature hot, high-energy sound paired with lyrics that evoke the chill of winter—an unforgettable combination.
The perspective that views parting, growth, and life’s journey in a positive light warms the heart during the cold season.
With its up-tempo rhythm and guitar-driven band sound, it’s said to be one of the most popular songs at their live shows.
When you feel like you’re about to lose to the winter cold, this song can give you a boost.
It might also be perfect for those who feel nostalgic about their 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.

And winter has ended againyangusukinii
A song that beautifully captures the feeling of winter and the pain of heartbreak.
Its delicate lyrics and powerful performance resonate deeply.
Included on the second mini-album released in December 2021, this piece is a pivotal track that showcases Young Skinny’s growth.
It skillfully portrays the inner turmoil after a breakup, the shifts in everyday life, and the emotions of trying to move forward little by little, making it highly relatable.
While reflecting on the immaturity and sweetness of youth, it also conveys a sense of maturation.
Recommended for those who want to savor the chill of winter and the poignancy of heartbreak, or for anyone who feels sentimental during the change of seasons.
A town where it snowsyunikōn
When it comes to Unicorn’s winter songs, this is the one! The production began with the idea of “Let’s make a Christmas song,” but they decided that making it a year-end song would keep people listening longer.
So the lyrics don’t just include phrases that evoke Christmas—they also portray the year’s end.
That said, the overall vibe and melody fit Christmas perfectly, and as you listen, a sense of excitement wells up.
The lyrics, filled with the easygoing yet warm affection characteristic of Tamio Okuda, gently warm the heart.
Winter TaleSandaime Jē Sōru Burazāzu fromu Eguzairu Toraibu
Don’t you find that winter tends to make you feel a bit sentimental, making it hard to genuinely feel happiness? At times like that, I recommend “Fuyumonogatari (Winter Story)” by Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE.
Its melody gently accompanies that vague sense of loneliness, and the deeply resonant words of love—like they’re telling you you’re not alone—wrap your sadness in warmth.
Even on days so cold your body feels frozen, listen to this song and let yourself feel its warm love.
Snow BlossomNakajima Mika
A winter song classic, Mika Nakashima’s “Yuki no Hana” is a wonderful track that brings out her charm to the fullest! In the gentle, subdued opening verse, her breathy vocals—cool yet full of flavor—are incredibly captivating.
As the song progresses toward the finale, you get to hear her powerful singing, which is another big highlight.
The winter-themed lyrics convey the happiness of being together and the wish for that happiness to continue.
It’s such a beautiful love song that it moves you to tears.
