It’s a track from Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s album “Attitude,” released in October 2019.
The poignant melody and emotionally stirring lyrics leave a strong impression.
While it voices the anxiety that love—warm like soup—might cool over time, it also sings of a steadfast resolve that the feelings for a cherished person will not change.
The album “Attitude” peaked at No.
4 on Japan’s Oricon chart.
It’s the perfect song to listen to on a winter night as you quietly think of a lover or someone you care about.
Happy Endingback number
A ballad that’s perfect for the season when winter’s chill makes your heart tremble.
It matches the longing that comes as autumn turns to winter and the nostalgic atmosphere.
Overflowing with the earnest emotions that grip the listener’s heart, it’s a song brimming with the uniquely bittersweet flavor of back number.
Released in November 2016, it was also used as the theme song for the film “My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday.” The lyrics, which depict the complex feelings of two people who choose to part ways, allow for various interpretations and leave a deep aftertaste.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to quietly on a winter night—one that stays close to those separated from a lover or carrying the pain of heartbreak.
Snow, Moon, and FlowersShonan no Kaze
When it comes to winter songs, many people picture mellow ballads, but I also recommend tracks like this one by Shonan no Kaze that passionately and ruggedly belt out love.
It’s a heartfelt thank-you to one’s partner for “staying by my side.” While the vibe may differ from a typical ballad, the message carried by the song is beautiful and sure to move you.
Plus, the music video, which tells a touching story, is a must-see.

A GLAY song that conveys the chill of winter while kindling a fire in the heart.
Included on the album “FREEDOM ONLY,” the track portrays the anxieties and loneliness of modern society while powerfully singing of human bonds and hope.

Released in October 2021, this piece is packed with GLAY’s passion for music.
It’s a heartwarming winter song you’ll want to hear when the cold feels overwhelming or when you want to connect with someone heart to heart.
