L’Arc～en～Ciel「snow drop」-Music Clip-

L’Arc~en~Ciel’s “snow drop,” sung by vocalist hyde, is a classic winter-themed Japanese rock song.

The lyrics are filled with words that evoke winter, and as you listen, vivid wintry scenes naturally come to mind.

By the way, there are two versions of this track: the single version has a warm, wintery sound, while the version included on the summer-released album “ray” is arranged with a cooler feel.

It’s fun to compare the two and hear the differences.

Merry XmasBoA

BoA / Meri Kuri

BoA’s classic song “Meri Kuri” tenderly sings of the desire to be with a precious lover.

The soaring melody in the chorus feels so good! Since it’s a very famous song, it’s sure to be a hit at karaoke.

The key is especially comfortable for women to sing in chest voice, so it’s a great idea to practice now and perform it at Christmas parties or other events.

If you shift the high notes in the chorus closer to falsetto, you can capture more of BoA’s signature vibe.

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.

Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE / Winter Story

A gem of a ballad with their signature R&B style, layered with a bittersweet, tender vocal.

It’s a love song that sings of pure, profound love.

The beautiful melody never gets old, no matter how many times you listen.

For fans of the LDH groups, this is an essential winter classic you just can’t skip!
