Heroineback number
Among back number’s songs—and as a winter song in general—this track is extremely popular.
You wouldn’t know it’s a winter song from the title, but the lyrics are set in winter.
The lines about wanting to watch the snow with someone you love might feel a bit cliché to some, but many men surely related to them.
As the lyrics suggest, plenty of guys have probably imagined the heroine of every story as the woman they’re interested in.
It’s a laid-back tune, so it’s easy to sing while keeping the rhythm, but the range is wide and the high notes are quite high, making it fairly difficult.
If you’re confident in your vocal range, definitely give it a try.

The image of a frozen silver world and TERU passionately singing is absolutely beautiful.
Amid the harshness of winter, you find yourself wondering how that special someone is doing, drifting into contemplation, and feeling nostalgic for your hometown.
Above all, the climactic chorus, where the emotions seem to burst, is overflowing with feeling.
Let’s hurl all those unspoken emotions and restless thoughts straight into “Winter, again”!
