Winter and Springback number

As a beautiful yet heartrending breakup song, this track is quintessential back number.

Like a scene from a film, it portrays a woman’s pain of heartbreak and her process of moving on.

Released in January 2024, it was produced by Masanori Shimada, and in the music video, Iyori Shimizu took on his first directing role.

The song delicately depicts the pain of a breakup—led astray by a fleeting illusion like snow resting on withered branches—and a woman’s emotions as she faces her true feelings with the arrival of spring.

It’s recommended for those who can relate to the feelings of dreaming of a fairy tale–like romance only to meet a different ending in reality, or for listeners who want something to accompany the changing seasons.

One of the quintessential songs of spring is Kobukuro’s “Sakura.” The song likens the protagonist—who has gone through a heartbreak and now prays for their former lover’s happiness—to cherry blossoms waiting for spring.

The sorrow and pain of a broken heart are compared to the harsh cold of winter, and just as blossoms endure the winter and put out new buds, the song depicts the inner resolve to overcome the sadness of heartbreak and move forward.

Spring often brings farewells, but this track suggests that beyond the sadness, new encounters and joys may await.
