If you’re going with your significant other, a song I’d love to hear a woman sing is Namie Amuro’s “White Light.” I’m sure many people feel it’s a song they want to listen to around this time of year.

Masaki Suda “Sayonara Elegy”

The theme song for the drama “Kiss that Kills,” starring Kento Yamazaki.

It’s a number by Masaki Suda, who has appeared in many films and TV dramas as an actor.

The lyrics and composition were done by singer-songwriter Huwie Ishizaki.

It has a driving feel that blows away the loneliness of winter.

Although the song is about a lonely farewell, the refreshing kick that keeps the sadness at bay likely comes from the melody and the strength of Masaki Suda’s vocals!
