List of seasonal songs: a classic guide to finding tracks that fit the current season

White SeasonMISIA

MISIA – White Season (Official Music Video)

This song by MISIA is about the winter season, and it’s also a song about a loved one.

It reminded me of how my friends used to sing it at karaoke, but MISIA’s songs really demand strong vocal ability, so I think it’s quite difficult to sing this one well.

Blue and SummerMrs. GREEN APPLE

Mrs. GREEN APPLE – Blue and Summer

A youthful pop tune, reflecting the cool hues of the sky and the summer sunlight, has arrived from Mrs.

GREEN APPLE.

Woven with exhilarating guitar riffs and a lyrical melody, this track heralds the beginning of summer.

Released in August 2018 as the theme song for the film “Ao-Natsu: Kimi ni Koi Shita 30-Nichi,” it portrays an honest, relatable first love and a longing for summer.

The song carefully expresses the emotions of falling in love with a season one once felt indifferent to, gradually discovering its charm, and carries a powerful message about believing in human connection.

Performed at the 75th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen in December 2024, it has become a staple of the summer season.

It’s the perfect track for creating radiant memories of youth—like running along the seaside with friends and talking about love under a bright blue sky.

Snow Magic FantasySEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI “Snow Magic Fantasy”

I think it’s a song whose rhythmic music and vocals make you feel as if you’re watching a movie or a musical right from the start.

Songs by SEKAI NO OWARI all captivate listeners with their vocals and distinctive rhythms, giving the impression of a winter magic song.

The part of this song that I think is amazing is the opening melody.

The music instantly draws you in and evokes a wintry Christmas night, and it resonates in my heart forever.

I also think the lyrics and rhythm are geared toward young people and make it a very impressive masterpiece.

You two, SummerKetsumeishi

Ketsumeishi “You Two, Summer”

It’s a summer song that really makes you feel the season has arrived.

Set to an uptempo beat, it paints bright summer scenes, and the chorus is especially pleasant to listen to.

It’s a song about two people who met in the summer, and I think it brings back memories of a fleeting summer romance.

Winter WhistleSukima Suichi

Sukima Switch – “Winter Whistle” Music Video: SUKIMASWITCH – FUYUNOKUCHIBUE Music Video

I think it’s a love song from Sukima Switch that, unexpectedly for them, carries a powerful message—telling someone to quietly follow along.

It feels like a classic Sukima Switch track infused with the desire to live together with the person you love, set in the winter season.

Song of Springsupittsu

Spitz / Spring Song

A heartwarming Spitz classic that sings of the joy of finding new light after enduring difficult days.

Masamune Kusano’s gentle, translucent voice beautifully captures the feeling of overcoming hardships and welcoming spring.

Its refreshing melody and positive message are sure to sow seeds of hope in listeners’ hearts.

Released on the album “Souvenir” in January 2005 and cut as a single in April of the same year, it reached No.

5 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

It was also featured in commercials for Aquarius and Lotte Ghana Chocolate, becoming a song loved by many.

It’s a track I’d recommend to anyone taking a new step forward or standing at a crossroads in life.

Listen to it as spring arrives, and it will resonate with you even more deeply.
