lower25ji, Naitokōdo de. × MEIKO
Lower, sung by Niigo and MEIKO.
It’s an original song written for the event “My Footprints, Your Destination,” released in November 2021.
The earnest, rescue-seeking lyrics and the delicate piano tones are deeply moving.
The worldview—seeking connection even while passing each other by—really pierces the listener’s heart.
The tempo isn’t particularly fast, but the rhythm is finely subdivided, so you’ll need to be careful not to fall behind.
In the chorus, sing with an image of emotions bursting all at once to further highlight the song’s dramatic atmosphere.
LonerEsaki Fumitake
A short score track placed near the beginning of the soundtrack written specifically for the live-action film.
Though only about 38 seconds long, it delicately renders the nuances of a lonely psyche suggested by its title through subtle timbres.
The combination of piano and fine-grained electronic textures gently brings out the original work’s worldview, centered on themes of distance and time.
It accompanies that poignant feeling of thinking of someone yet being unable to reach them.
I fell in love with rock and roll!rasonburu
The title track of the digital single that went viral on Instagram Reels is a high-energy, fast-paced anthem that sings straight from the heart about a pure love of music.
Packed with Rasonble’s unpretentious character, the lyrics overflow with the impulse and joy of throwing yourself headlong into the music you love, making you want to jump up and run alongside it just by listening.
Released in July 2024, the song was also selected for an ABEMA movie tie-in and achieved the remarkable feat of 2.8 million Reels views just six months after the group’s formation.
It’s the perfect soundtrack for those moments when you want to be truly passionate about something and start moving forward with a positive mindset.
God of RomanceHirose Kōmi
Kohmi Hirose’s signature song—still beloved as the quintessential winter anthem—was released in December 1993 and became a massive hit, topping the Oricon Weekly Chart into 1994.
Featured in a commercial for the sporting goods retailer Alpen, its upbeat four-on-the-floor rhythm and optimistic lyrics about wishes for love perfectly matched the winter sports boom of the time.
With cumulative sales exceeding 1.7 million copies, the track earned Hirose the title “Queen of Winter.” It’s a high-energy, feel-good tune that’s perfect for hyping up in the car on the way to the slopes, at the ski resort itself, or for anyone wanting to sing a winter classic at karaoke.
LonelinessMrs. GREEN APPLE
This track, included on the album ANTENNA released in July 2023, squarely asks how we confront loneliness.
It portrays the protagonist’s introspection as they try to take a step forward despite their weakness and sense of stagnation, with lyrics that are striking for the heartbeat that emerges not by rejecting loneliness, but by accepting it.
In live performances, it’s unveiled amid a spectacle of pillars of flame in the darkness, and despite being an album track, it instantly raises the venue’s energy with its commanding presence.
The sound—where dark emotionality coexists with the driving force of dance music—is truly one of a kind.
It’s a song that quietly stays by your side on nights when you want to face yourself or when you want to confirm the feelings deep in your heart.
Christmas Waiting at the LodgeMatsutōya Yumi
Yumi Matsutoya’s song delicately depicts the quiet of a moonlit ski slope and the aching feelings of the protagonist waiting in the lodge.
The way the heart alone seems to glide—chasing a distant echo of a lover’s voice, slipping past windows and doors—symbolizes just how strong the longing is for someone far away.
Included as the opening track on her 1978 album “Ryūsenkei ’80,” the piece was also used as an insert song in the 1987 film “Take Me Out to the Snowland.” It’s a perfect song for that special scene of waiting for someone dear at a ski resort on Christmas night.
