Winter songs by Japanese girls’ bands! Recommended hits and hidden gems

Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

Here’s Regal Lily’s winter song “White out,” beloved for its nostalgic atmosphere.

It’s included on their first mini-album “the Post,” released in 2016.

The simple lyrics, which conjure a pure white snowy landscape before your eyes, are delivered dramatically by vocalist Honoka Takahashi’s delicate, ephemeral voice, and the straightforward performance that carries it really touches the heart.

It’s a song that accompanies the quiet winter air and feelings of loneliness.
