Heroineback number
This back number song, which portrays the bittersweetness of a winter unrequited love, was released in January 2015 as their 11th single.
As the JR East “JR SKISKI” campaign song, together with a commercial starring Suzu Hirose, it left a lasting impression on many people.
The protagonist’s feelings—cherishing every moment of the person they like—are carried by a warm band sound.
The frustration of drafting and deleting confessions, the anxiety of not being a good match in the other person’s eyes, and the poignancy felt amid snowy scenery—all of the lyrics resonate deeply with anyone experiencing unrequited love.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to while walking through a winter city, thinking of someone special.
Let’s decorate with holly.Pokemon Kids TV
Just getting ready for Christmas is enough to make your heart skip with excitement, isn’t it? Pokémon Kids TV’s “Deck the Halls” is a traditional carol of Welsh origin arranged with Japanese lyrics.
A dance version was also released in December 2023, and you can enjoy it alongside footage of Pikachu and Eevee decorating.
Its lively, highly repetitive melody and bright call-and-response parts are striking, giving it a festive flair that blows away the winter chill.
The karaoke version lets you sing along with the Pokémon, so if friends take turns doing the call-and-response parts, it’s sure to get everyone pumped.
It’s perfect for when you want to get into the Christmas party mood.
Killing time, someone’s lifeUbanaroku
This chilling Vocaloid song portrays the runaway acceleration of “justice” under the mask of anonymity.
Released as Rokuhana Uka’s fifth work in October 2020, it sharply slices into the darkness of modern society through Hatsune Miku’s voice.
The contrast between the light, catchy melody line and the heavy, bleak story unfolding in the lyrics leaves a powerful impression.
Centered around guitar-driven rock, the sound creates a sense of speed, and the more you listen, the deeper you’re drawn into the narrative.
It’s a track that makes you reflect on the act of condemning others on social media.
Higurashi MountainInagaki Junichi
Released in January 1982 as the B-side to the debut single “Ame no Regret,” this is one of Junichi Inagaki’s early works.
The lyrics are by Reiko Yukawa, the music by Kazuhiko Matsuo, and the arrangement by Yasuhiko Tsumura.
The song strikingly opens with an English phrase, and its evocative lyrics transform memories from a place where young lovers once pledged themselves into the legend of a white serpent.
With a refined arrangement characteristic of early city pop and Inagaki’s gentle vocals, it delicately weaves a lyrical world.
The track was also included on his debut album “246:3AM,” released in July of the same year, showcasing Inagaki’s narrative-rich side.
History MakerDEAN FUJIOKA
This is the opening theme of the anime “Yuri!!! on ICE,” which centers on figure skating.
It’s a grand piece sung in English, featuring a distinctive fusion of waltz rhythms, orchestral elements, and EDM beats.
Its lyrics offer encouragement to those who continue to chase their dreams, making it perfect for winter as we renew our resolve for the new year.
It’s a track I’d recommend to anyone who wants to reflect on their past and take a step into the future.
Alone at Christmas ~ Alone at X’masTHE toraburyū & Clarence Clemons

Alongside the band’s sound, Clemons’s wistful saxophone heightens the emotion.
Unlike their massive hit “Road,” this one follows a romantic ballad style, and the music video was reportedly filmed in New York at the time.
It delicately depicts the protagonist’s determination to convey their feelings despite the ache of not being able to meet at Christmas.
It’s a perfect choice for those thinking of a partner far away or for anyone who wants to sing a gentle Christmas song at karaoke.
