While grounding his music in R&B, Aile The Shota has pursued pop that anyone can hum along to.
Released in December 2025, the winter ballad “Hanayuki” serves as the concluding piece of a seasonal song series that has been delivered across spring, summer, and autumn.
Set against imagery of snow piling up on winter nights and frosty white breaths, it depicts fragile memories that seem like they might vanish at a touch, and the feelings that nevertheless remain in the heart.
The composition features contributors including UTA, known for work with BTS and Daichi Miura, resulting in a classic love ballad reminiscent of the 2000s.
Included on the album “REAL POP 2,” released in February 2026.

After changing their name, the duo DOMOTO took a fresh step forward in 2025.

Christmas songback number
When you think of back number’s winter songs, a few probably come to mind, but for December, this Christmas-themed track is definitely my pick! While some of their love songs feature slightly wimpy male characters, this one has a guy who, though a bit clumsy, conveys his feelings in a straightforward, manly way.
It’s a Christmas love song that’s perfect for men to sing, and the vocal range is within reach for the average male singer with a little effort.
If it feels a bit high, try lowering the key slightly to make it easier to sing!
