[Stars, Fireflies, etc.] A Compilation of Songs Whose Titles Start with “Ho” (1–10)
white keyNEW!Suzuki Ami
This is Ami Suzuki’s fourth single, released in December 1998.
Since it was used as the commercial song for Alpen’s snowboard brand “kissmark,” many people might remember their hearts leaping to the catchy chorus that played on TV.
Produced by Tetsuya Komuro, the sound features sparkling tones that feel like falling snow and a rhythm tinged with a certain wistfulness.
The lyrics convey a delicate longing, as if waiting for something that will open a heart closed off by the winter cold.
It reached No.
2 on the Oricon chart at the time and became a key number leading into the hit album SA.
For those in their 40s, just the intro is enough to bring back the era—an essential winter karaoke classic.
one’s true feelingsNEW!sumika
It was written as the cheer song for the 99th All Japan High School Soccer Tournament, and it’s a gentle, ballad-like piece that makes it easy to pour your emotions into.
Its hallmark is lyrics that convey gratitude and honest feelings, so it might be nice to sing while picturing someone who comes to mind for you.
The A and B verses sit in a relatively calm range, while the chorus has sections to sing more strongly, so be careful not to strain your voice.
Place a hand on your chest and sing while resonating there; that resonance will boost your projection.
Rather than simply getting louder, focus on resonance as you sing!
whiteoutNEW!Omoinotake
As the season arrives when your breath turns white in the cold, don’t you sometimes feel frustrated by feelings you can’t put into words? This song by Omoinotake is a love ballad that vividly portrays that hesitant state of mind.
The splendid orchestral tones evoke a wintry world, and the contrast between the freezing white scenery and the burning love hidden within is truly moving.
Released as a package-only single in December 2024, it was later included on the album “Pieces.” It also drew attention as the TV commercial song for GLOBAL WORK featuring Yuriko Yoshitaka.
Even though your feelings overflow so much that your field of vision turns pure white with thoughts of that person, you still can’t take that final step…
This is a must-listen for anyone struggling with the brakes on their love, or those searching for a winter gift for someone special.
Holy LightNEW!imase
Singer-songwriter imase, who quickly rose to prominence starting from TikTok.
This track is included on the digital EP “POP CUBE,” released in November 2022.
It was written as the campaign song for Shibuya Scramble Square’s “SHIBUYA SCRAMBLE XMAS.” The sound of bells and sparkling synths vividly portray a city Christmas scene.
Lyrics tinged with greedy wishes and a sense of exhilaration add color to the heart as the holiday season approaches.
With a soothing voice that blends gently into a winter night, including falsetto, it’s a perfect pop tune for background music on a drive or a date.
HontoNEW!sumika
Sumika is a band whose activities are driven by the wish that “music will become a home for people’s hearts.” Honto, written as the theme song for Doraemon the Movie: Nobita and the New Undersea Devil’s Rock, is pop rock that blends their signature warmth with a brisk, refreshing feel.
Also released as a single on February 25, 2026, the track was written and composed by Kenta Kataoka.
Its message—let’s go search for the kind of “truth” that’s more exciting than a correct answer—fits perfectly with the atmosphere of February 2026, when the film hits theaters.
With Ryo “Lefty” Miyata brought in for arrangement, the expansive sound should be all the more moving when heard in a cinema.
It’s a dependable number that gently gives you a push when you want to move forward without fearing failure.
Ring of the StarNEW!Hamada Shogo
A signature song that sings of eternal parting and the fleeting nature of love.
Often chosen for weddings by people who wish to be “a couple like this,” it’s considered an ideal love song.
The tempo is gentle, making it easy to follow the melody calmly.
In terms of structure, the music gradually rises and builds toward the chorus, and since the chorus features a flowing melodic line, adding accents as you sing is key.
If you feel the beat in 2/4 and place stronger emphasis on every first beat, you’ll create contrast and find it easier to sing.
By consciously delivering the initial note clearly from the very beginning and throughout, you should be able to sing smoothly without getting stuck.
I’m the committee for that!NEW!usushio shisū
Be sure to experience this exhilarating pop-rock sound! It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Usushio Shisū, released in January 2026.
Sung over a guitar-centered band arrangement, the lyrics reveal a somewhat excuse-like inner monologue trying to come to terms with one’s role and position.
Kasane Teto’s straightforward vocals convey both urgency and humor at the same time.
