Snow Falling on the SeaŌta Hiromi15rank/position

Set against a winter seashore blanketed in snow, this work portrays a sudden shift that emerges from the silence.

Hiromi Ota’s translucent voice conveys the delicate emotions of the lyrics with even greater depth.

Released in December 1980, the song is included on the album “The Traveler of December.” The lyrics are striking, evoking unchanging hot tears within the flow of time and flashes of fleeting brilliance.

It’s especially recommended for a stroll along the winter coast.

Delicately depicting stillness and motion, past and present, and the sense of distance that exists between people, it stands as a moving winter classic.

Written by lyricist Takashi Matsumoto, composed by Takuro Yoshida, and passionately sung by Hiromi Ohta, this song depicts the bittersweet subtleties of a couple whose relationship shifts from lovers to “friends” amid a flurry of falling cherry blossoms.

The repeated words take on new shades of meaning each time they appear, a lyrical world that may tighten the chest of many listeners.

Released on the A-side of the February 1978 album “Senaka Awase no Rendezvous,” the track features a calm band arrangement by Shigeru Suzuki, which is part of its charm.

It has the deep flavor unique to album cuts, distinct from flashy hit singles.

It’s a song we’d especially recommend for those moments when a touch of loneliness steals over you in the spring sunshine, or when you want to quietly revisit the bittersweet memories of youth.
