It’s nice to sing a bittersweet breakup song, isn’t it? One I recommend is Yuri’s “Christmas Eve.” It’s a ballad included on his second album, “Ni.” The lyrics depict a man who visits places filled with memories of his ex on Christmas Eve, wishing to see her again.
A highlight is how his feelings are expressed through various metaphors.
The humming and intonation are also striking, so keep those in mind when you sing it.

This work is a heartwarming Christmas song that portrays a sweet, bittersweet longing for love—feelings of wanting to see someone piling up in the heart like falling snow.

The imagery of snow tinged blue and the protagonist’s wavering emotions—holding on to their feelings despite the distance—evoke the fragility of a winter romance itself.
The sound fuses SIX LOUNGE’s signature rock ’n’ roll power with a kayōkyoku-style lyricism, further highlighting the poignant lyrics.
With poetic words by drummer Shintaro Nagamatsu and melodies woven by guitarist Yuumori Yamaguchi in perfect harmony, this work is the ideal song for quietly turning over your thoughts on a winter night.
