It’s a rock number you’ll want to sing with full emotional immersion after a breakup.
The song is included on the 2016 album “SHISHAMO 3.”

Winter is starting.Makihara Noriyuki
This song sung by Noriyuki Makihara is a perfect winter tune with a delightfully upbeat rhythm! Listening to it or singing along fills you with excitement.
The lyrics depict a happy couple, and there are touches that evoke Christmas, making it an ideal song for December, the very start of winter.
The key is a little high for men with an average vocal range, but since the gap between the lowest and highest notes isn’t that large, it’s easy to adjust—just lower the key a bit if it feels high, and it becomes much easier to sing.
If you can sing its familiar, ear-pleasing melody well, it feels great!

One-Room ChristmasCARAMEL CANDiD
On Christmas night, spending time alone in a studio apartment.
This song, which revisits the distance between who I am now and the memories of the tree I once gathered around with my family as a child, delicately portrays the loneliness felt all the more in a festive season and the unextinguished longing for warmth.
The clear, high-toned vocals resonate as if awakening the bells and lights from memory, highlighting a lyrical world where sweetness and bitterness coexist.
Released digitally by the four-piece band CARAMEL CANDiD in October 2024, the track was later included on their October 2025 album, “A Place with Neither Heaven nor Hell.” Year-end parties and dazzling celebrations are great, but when you want to quietly look back on the year, this is a song that gently keeps you company for a Christmas spent alone.
