Lovely winter song

I want to hear more than just the classics! Hidden gems of winter songs

POPS writer/editorKEI
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.

When winter comes, we sometimes feel a little lonely, while other times our hearts leap at festive events and dazzling cityscapes.

In moments like these, winter songs gently stay by our side.

There are so many of them, and while the classic hits are beloved for years, many of you may be thinking, “I want to discover something different!”

So in this article, we’ll introduce some hidden gems among winter songs.

There are plenty of wonderful tracks beyond the usual standards, so take your time and enjoy them as your companions this winter.

This is a hidden gem included as the B-side on the single “Fan Service [sweet],” which features “Chocolate Disco,” one of Perfume’s signature songs.

It’s a track that seems to depict a snowy landscape, where you can sense the chill of the air within the sparkling, playful sound.

The lyrics portray winter-themed romance and the growing intensity of emotion that warms the heart.

As feelings rise, even the snow that should be cold appears to shine like a radiant gemstone—that’s the sentiment the song seems to express.
