steamChatto Monchī
Yuge (Steam) is included as the B-side track on Chatmonchy’s debut single Koi no Kemuri (Smoke of Love).
It’s a staple at their live shows and a perennial fan favorite.
If you listen while picturing a chilly classroom with stuffy, trapped air, vivid scenes come to mind.
After the high-speed chorus rushes by, it’s only in the second verse that the word “yuge” — the song’s title — appears in the lyrics for the first time, and at that moment you can feel the atmosphere shift, as if reflecting a change in the protagonist’s heart.
Try listening while tuning into the delicate feelings that peek through the exquisitely chosen words.
Love SnowSilent Siren
Koi Yuki, brought to you by Silent Siren, aka Saisai.
The intro, beginning with the sound of piano, invites listeners into a magical world where snow seems to flutter down.
The lyrics overlay a growing crush with steadily falling snow, making it a heart-tugging love song.
From the gentle verse that highlights vocalist Suu’s sweet voice, it shifts into a soaring, almost bursting chorus—that contrast is the highlight.
Enjoy a Saisai world that’s a little different from their usual: not just cute, but tinged with a touch of bittersweetness.
Win TimeCHAI
No wonder their concept is “NEO-kawaii”—CHAI is a band whose stylish sound, rooted in neo city pop, grabs fans’ hearts and never lets go.
“WINTIME” is their third single, released in 2018.
The song depicts having a great time with friends on New Year’s Eve, and listening to it fills you with happiness! That cuteness is so quintessentially them.
If you want to feel the joy of winter, the cold season, this is a must-listen!
Ding DongPRINCESS PRINCESS
With the distant sound of bells carrying the scent of the Christmas season, “Ding Dong.” It’s included on Princess Princess’s fourth album, LOVERS, released in 1989 by the band that defined the ’80s girls’ band scene.
Despite its bright, member-distinctive feel, it’s actually a poignant rock number about spending Christmas alone.
The way it contrasts this year with last year’s Christmas spent with a lover feels strikingly real—and so relatable.
Crank it up loud and blast the loneliness away!
You and the slopesSHISHAMO
A must-have recommendation for a girls’ band winter song is SHISHAMO’s “Kimi to Gelände”! As the title suggests, it’s a song about a romance unfolding on the ski slopes.
The heroine has a crush, but the person he’s looking at… yes, it’s another girl—making it a truly heart-wrenching love song.
If you listen without knowing the lyrics, the catchy melody gives you a nostalgic thrill, but once you understand the words, a delicate loneliness washes over you.
Be sure to watch the story-style music video too! So bittersweet!

Kaneyori Masaru is a three-piece rock band that made their major-label debut in 2023, taking a human name for their group because it felt familiar and easy to come up with.
Neon Sign, a track from their third album, We Are Driven Onward, features an ensemble with tight, guitar-forward sound that feels lyrical.
Its message—wanting to connect with someone important not just on the surface, but at a deeper level—is something anyone can relate to.
With dramatic arranging that creates a strong hook, it’s a rock tune perfect for the colder seasons.

Their third digital single “daylight” lingers in the ear with its spacious, weightless melodies and ensemble.
