Winter Giftmosao.92rank/position
Sung by Mosawo, a singer-songwriter who performs without showing their face, this piece is a love song that gently portrays winter romance in down-to-earth words.
The music video released in November 2020 is filled with the aching feelings of unrequited love and the courage to confess, isn’t it? Incorporating strings for the first time, the sound vividly colors the sparkle of winter with a touch of loneliness.
Also included on the album “Koi no Uta,” it drew major attention at the time of its digital release, dominating the top spots on LINE MUSIC’s rankings.
With highly relatable lyrics that make you want to see the person you like, it’s a song you’ll want to listen to closely.
If you play it before Christmas or a winter date, it’s sure to give you the courage to share your feelings with someone special!

Gen Hoshino’s music wraps you in a quietly mature mood, casting a romantic spell over the winter slopes.
The lyrics delicately portray the chill of snow and the warmth of human touch, gently stirring the listener’s heart.
Featured on the album YELLOW DANCER, released in December 2015, this song was written as the theme for a Shiseido MAQuillAGE web movie.
Infused with elements of neo-soul, its sound is perfect for a restful break after energetic fun or for savoring a calm moment while gazing at the slopes at night.
It’s a sophisticated track whose allure makes you forget the cold and listen, utterly entranced.
Mochi GirlGesu no Kiwami Otome.94rank/position
Mochi is something you can eat all year round, but for some reason, a lot of people only eat it around New Year’s, don’t they? This song by Gesu no Kiwami Otome shines a spotlight on that very mochi.
It’s included on their 2013 mini-album “Odorenainara, Gesu ni Natte Shimaeyo.” With its tricky sound and lyrics full of playful spirit, it expresses overflowing feelings for mochi! Listening to it might just make you hungry.
Winter FireworksOku Hanako95rank/position
This is the 13th single by singer-songwriter Hanako Oku, who, even after her major-label debut, continued to energetically perform street gigs and has written, composed, and sung for numerous commercial songs.
The story of being unable to voice your feelings to the person you love and ending up heartbroken—a situation many of us have likely experienced—really hits home, doesn’t it? The arrangement, layering piano, acoustic guitar, and strings, creates a wintry chill and depth that amplifies the poignancy of the lyrics.
It’s a bittersweet winter song, perfect for immersing yourself in solitude at Christmas.
