Since it’s a cold winter, why not listen to a love song that will warm your heart—“Fuyumegu”? It’s a track released by the three-piece rock band SILENT SIREN, included on their album “GIRLS POWER,” which was created around the theme of “the power women possess.” The song portrays a loving couple and a forward-looking, strong woman.

Be sure to check it out along with the music video, which has also drawn attention for featuring Sadao Shimura.

When you get to my levelTRACK15

This is a poignant song that portrays the cold of winter and a sense of solitude.

Through small everyday moments, it expresses a deep bond with a loved one.

It’s striking how seemingly trivial words and actions—like forgetting a scarf or holding roasted green tea in the right hand—symbolize a profound mutual understanding.

Amid the chilly air of December, the repeated farewell, “See you again,” leaves a faint, bittersweet feeling.

Released by TRACK15 in March 2024, this song is included on their first mini-album, “bouquet.” It’s a perfect track to listen to on a winter night while remembering someone dear.

Third ChristmasSHOW-YA

SHOW-YA is a five-member rock band known as a pioneering all-female group, and in 2021 they broke into the global scene.

Their song “3rd Christmas,” included on their fifth album Immigration, is a comfortable number with a gentle rock ensemble.

The lyrics, which depict a Christmas that can no longer be spent with a lover, evoke a poignant feeling alongside the wistful melody.

It’s a sentimental Christmas song that reveals a different side of SHOW-YA, who are often associated with hard rock.

They’ve been drawing a lot of attention, including being selected for the 2022 CD Shop Awards.

From their second album, “Cheerful Holiday,” I’d like to introduce the song “Whisper of Winter.” It depicts the scene of a beautiful snowy night and the bittersweet drama of lovers.

Its hallmark is a mellow melody paired with soulful vocals.

Pay attention to the meaning of the title as you listen.
