A classic of wintertime that shines in J-POP history and, in recent years, has enjoyed a resurgence through social media, this is one of Kōmi Hirose’s signature numbers.
Its straightforward theme of wishing for love to come true blends perfectly with an uplifting, breezy dance-pop sound, and that powerful, soaring high-tone voice really lingers in your ears.
Released as a single in December 1993, the track appears on the acclaimed album “SUCCESS STORY.” Chosen as the commercial song for the sporting goods retailer Alpen, it became a massive hit, spending 21 weeks on the charts.

As winter approaches, the songs by Kohmi Hirose—fondly known as the “Queen of Winter”—naturally come to mind.
Released in December 1995, this track is an upbeat tune that captures the excitement of the ski boom of the time.
Its lyrics burst with the joy of a love in full swing, and the piercing high notes feel exhilarating, conjuring vivid images of white ski slopes as you listen.
It enjoyed a double tie-in, airing in households as the CM song for the sporting goods store Alpen and serving as the theme song for a film of the same name, so many people likely find that just hearing the chorus brings back sharp memories of their youth.

DEAR…againHirose Kōmi3rank/position
When the winter leisure season arrives, don’t you suddenly feel like listening to that commercial jingle? The song used in the commercials for the sporting goods store “Alpen” is sung by none other than the Queen of Winter, Kohmi Hirose.
Although it was released as a single in November 1996, it’s also known as a re-arranged version of a track originally included on the album “SUCCESS STORY.” Hirose’s powerful high notes and the warm lyrics that seem to fill the time you can’t be together really strike a chord.
It portrays the earnest feelings of someone who cares for a partner busy with work, yet believes in and waits for the day they can meet again—if you’re in a long-distance relationship, it might even bring you to tears.
Why not listen to it on the drive up to the slopes—or picture your loved one as you take in a snowy landscape?
DEAR…againHirose Kōmi4rank/position
A signature winter ballad by Kōmi Hirose, known as the “Queen of Winter.” Familiar as the theme for Alpen’s commercials, the song was released in November 1996 and reached No.
7 on the Oricon weekly chart.
It expresses the aching feelings for a lover far away, delicately portraying a woman’s state of mind as she spends anxious days without even a phone call, wishing he would return by Christmas.
Although Kōmi Hirose is known for many up-tempo tracks, this piece is a gently sung love ballad.
The piano arrangement gives it a beautifully mellow atmosphere as well.

She’s often called the “Queen of Winter,” and “promise” is also loved as part of that tradition during the winter season.
It features a passionate, dramatic melody and a structure that shows off vocal ability, with a chorus that leaps into the high register from the A and B sections.
I sing it often myself, but the tricky part is definitely the chorus.
It combines a brisk tempo, fast passages, and extremely high notes—all three at once.
Also, it’s easy to speed up in the chorus once you get into it, so aim to sing with enough composure.
When transitioning from the A/B sections to the chorus, try lifting your eyebrows and engaging your facial muscles so the shift in melody feels smoother.
Original songHirose Kōmi6rank/position
The song playing in the NIVEA Deo Protect & Care Spray commercial titled “Birth,” featuring Mina Tanaka, is an original track made for the ad.
Even though it’s an original, the singer is none other than Kōmi Hirose! It’s so dazzlingly delivered in her signature soaring voice that you’ll instinctively want to search which album it’s on.
Her powerful vocals rival the product’s impact, packing a charm that makes the few seconds in the CM feel too short—you’ll want to hear the full version.
The lyrics are tailored to the product, but it would feel perfectly natural if this were released as a Kōmi Hirose song as-is!
Serenade to YouHirose Kōmi7rank/position
This is a song released in 2022—the 30th anniversary of Kohmi Hirose, also known as the “Queen of Winter.” It was selected as the theme song for TV Tokyo’s “Winter Sports 2022.” At a slow tempo, each note is sung with great care.
It’s a cheer song that acknowledges the failures and setbacks behind effort and success, and supports those who keep moving forward step by step without being defeated by them.
With minimal accompaniment—mainly piano—Hirose’s vocals are sure to move you.

On the way home in midwinterHirose Kōmi10rank/position
The early-1997 Alpen commercial song.
For the past three years there had been only one song spanning late December to early January, but this year there were two—one before and one after.
It was released in January 1997.
The commercial featured Haruhiko Kato and Yuko Masuda (the same as the previous one), but unlike the previous ballad, this was an up-tempo track.
It peaked at No.
10 on the Oricon weekly chart, with total sales of 215,000 copies.
