Lovers AgainEXILE
When it comes to winter songs that were massive hits in the late 2000s, EXILE’s “Lovers Again,” by the hugely popular dance-vocal group of the time, is a standout.
The gently somber, wintry track paired with the sweet, tender vocals of ATSUSHI and TAKAHIRO is utterly captivating.
Listening to the lyrics, steeped in aching emotion, makes you feel as though your wintertime longing for warmth is being understood—leaving your heart feeling warmer.
Coffee and syrupOfisharu Higedan Dism
Don’t you think a lot of men like a warm cup of coffee in the cold season? In this song, set in winter, there’s a slightly ironic portrayal of someone drinking coffee to get over unpleasant things or to reset their determination.
When you’re working as a member of society, you may face many unreasonable or unavoidable events and even grow accustomed to the pain.
But this is a song that makes you think, “Let’s not get used to that bitterness, let’s not lose ourselves, and let’s keep going!”
PresentINI
It’s a dance-pop number that captures the sparkle of winter and the excitement of the holidays, featured on the single “THE WINTER MAGIC” released in November 2025.
Its structure layers shimmering sounds from a global team of producers with rich multi-voice harmonies, warmly enveloping the listener.
The lyrics, crafted by members Rihito Ikezaki and Hiroto Nishi, gently weave feelings for a loved one against seasonal imagery like powdery snow and glowing lights.
It’s a perfect song to savor with your partner during those special year-end moments.
SNOW SMILEShimizu Shota
Here’s a Christmas song by Shota Shimizu, released in 2014.
His soft, delicate vocals are a perfect match for winter songs.
Warmly portraying the long-awaited reunion of two people who haven’t been able to see each other for some time, this track feels like it lights a gentle flame in your heart.
It also drew attention for featuring Nana Komatsu in the music video.
While many winter songs are about parting, isn’t it also wonderful and deeply moving to have songs that nurture warm love without yielding to the cold?
MemoriesMAN WITH A MISSION
This is the sixth single by MAN WITH A MISSION, the five-member rock band popularly known as “Man With,” who have gained domestic and international popularity for songs of a quality you’d never expect from their appearance.
The track was used in a JR SKI SKI commercial; although it was originally a digital-only release, an overwhelming number of fan requests led to a limited, made-to-order physical edition.
The memorable guitar arpeggios that evoke the cold season, fused with MAN WITH’s signature loud rock sound, really get your energy up.
It’s catchy, fast-paced, and in a lower key, making it a perfect winter song for men who want to fire up the crowd at karaoke.
somedaySaucy Dog
For those who want to sing songs by a younger-generation rock band, I recommend this signature track by Saucy Dog.
The lyrics candidly portray the lingering feelings of a man who’s been told it’s over—so frank they might even come off as downright pathetic, yet that’s exactly what resonates with so many listeners.
The setting is winter, which makes the heartbreak feel all the more poignant.
And those heartrending lyrics ride on a tear-jerking melody, so you might find yourself getting choked up while singing it.
