Kohmi Hirose – I Want to Fall in Love Until the Slopes Melt (Official Video)

Kohmi Hirose’s hit song “GELENDE ga Tokeru Hodo Koi Shitai” is known for its piercingly high vocals.

Many of you have probably heard it, since it’s often played at ski resorts in winter.

It’s great to enjoy on your own, of course, but it would also liven up events like Christmas parties as background music.

It’s also highly recommended as a karaoke pick for the winter season.

Since the chorus is quite high, adjust the key to suit your range to make it easier to sing!

December RainArai Yumi

December Rain / Jyunigatsu No Ame

This song, which captures the loneliness of winter and the bittersweet longing for a love that has passed, is a gem that represents the early work of Yumi Arai.

Released in October 1974 and included on the album MISSLIM, it features a restrained band performance as its foundation, while the beautiful choral work by Tatsuro Yamashita and Taeko Onuki leaves a strong impression.

There is even an anecdote that Yamashita agreed to join the recording on the condition that he handle the chorus arrangement.

Set against a winter scene of December rain, a quiet nostalgia for days that will never return rises to the surface.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to softly by a window streaked with cold rain, when you feel like immersing yourself in memories of the past.

MISIA – Everything （Official HD Music Video）

In the middle of a quiet, snow-covered town, MISIA delivers a tender winter ballad.

It sings of a woman’s aching love, yearning for only you.

MISIA’s powerful vocals carry a sense of poignancy as well, so be sure to listen while watching the music video.

Snowdome / Kaela Kimura

When it comes to winter songs that overflow with feelings for a cherished person you can no longer meet, Snowdome comes to mind.

Released in 2007 by Kaela Kimura, who is active as a model and singer, the song was composed by the rock band BEAT CRUSADERS.

Her supple vocals resonate over an energetic band performance.

The warm melody line, which seems to envelop a story of a lonely winter farewell, leaves a strong impression.

It’s a winter song whose clear, heartfelt love for someone dear strikes straight at the heart.
