Hard Days, Holy NightPorunogurafiti

Hard Days, Holy Night

Released in 2003, this PornoGraffitti track is a B-side to the single “Ai ga Yobu Hou e,” yet it’s beloved by fans as a classic Christmas song.

While it features Christmas-like sleigh bells, its glamor comes from the crunch of distorted guitars and Akihito Okano’s exhilarating vocals.

The lyrics portray a man who’s too busy with work to go see his girlfriend, but their exchanges feel somehow endearing and heartwarming.

[MV] Black Christmas / After the Rain [Soraru × Mafumafu]

This song by After the Rain, the unit formed by Soraru and Mafumafu who got their start on Niconico, was released in December 2018 and is striking for its dark, mysterious atmosphere.

Its twist on the typically happy image of Christmas feels fresh.

The piece is told from a perspective that leans toward both good and evil, carrying a message that not only so-called “good kids” but anyone harboring unfulfilled feelings can enjoy Christmas.

It’s perfect for when you want to get hyped!

Snow SmileBUMP OF CHICKEN

BUMP OF CHICKEN "Snow Smile"

It’s a bittersweet yet warm love song that uses the winter chill as an excuse to bring two people closer together.

Released in December 2002 as their fifth single, it carefully portrays smiles spilling out on snowless streets, a relationship that remains parallel, and two people whose strides don’t match.

The fade-out ending—unusual for BUMP OF CHICKEN—is also striking.

Many listeners have resonated with the protagonist, who continues walking while holding memories of someone precious close to their heart.

Its relaxed tempo makes it easy to sing, too!

This piece, which portrays a farewell scene using falling snow and a white scarf as motifs, is filled with gratitude and bittersweet emotion for the person who loved an irredeemable me.

Released in February 2011, the song reached No.

10 on the Oricon weekly chart and was selected as the ending theme for Chukyo TV and Nippon TV’s “Futtonda,” as well as Nippon TV’s “iCon.” The music video features Masami Nagasawa and Keisuke Minami, and its dramatic storyline also drew attention.

With a gently penetrating melody and delicate choral work, it’s a song that truly shines—so be sure to sing it with feeling.

EXILE ATSUSHI / Snow Makeup (Music Video)

Let me introduce a bittersweet winter ballad sung by EXILE’s ATSUSHI.

Released digitally in February 2022, the song is also included on his solo best album “ONE.” It was chosen as the image song for a pair of true wireless earphones, and the tie-in commercial featuring ATSUSHI himself became a hot topic.

The lyrics overlay regret and gratitude for a past love onto a pure white snowy landscape.

The resolve to live while holding on to the ache of wanting to see someone you can’t, and feelings that won’t reach them, sinks deep into the heart thanks to ATSUSHI’s rich, resonant vocals.

Perfect for when you want to sing a gentle, tender song.

Starting gently and building to a dramatic climax toward the end, it’s the kind of song that can instantly warm up the atmosphere if you sing it at karaoke.
