When it comes to music that blends seamlessly into various Japanese situations, Tatsuro Yamashita comes to mind.
“Heron,” meaning great blue heron, is his 30th single, released in 1998, and it seems it was used as the song for a Kirin Lager Beer commercial around the time of the Nagano Winter Olympics.
While it doesn’t explicitly mention winter, its atmosphere of heading toward dawn and its rhythmic groove feel like a perfect match for the refreshing lift you want from winter sports.
It has that comfortable quality that would slip right in even if it started playing as background music on the ski slopes.
YA-YA-YAZoo
When it comes to energetic dance tracks that make you want to move, this song is the one.
Released in October 1992 as ZOO’s sixth single, it’s characterized by its uptempo beat and catchy melody line.
It was widely loved, having been featured as the JR East “JR SKISKI” campaign song and as the opening theme for TV Asahi’s “Karei ni Ah!so.” If this track were playing as BGM on the slopes, you might just find yourself picking up speed on your skis or snowboard.
It’s a perfect song to accompany winter sports with friends amid snowy scenery, and one I highly recommend.
