When it comes to ski slopes and winter songs, you can’t help but think of Kōmi Hirose, right? It’s the theme song for the 1995 film “I Want to Fall in Love Enough to Melt the Ski Slopes.” When the movie was released, the song sparked a nationwide skiing boom in Japan, and Hirose’s life-sized, conversational lyrics are really charming.

Even if you don’t know the beginning, I think many people know the chorus, so definitely give it a listen.

The wolves who have fired up countless rock festivals are also the perfect band to make winter sports like skiing and snowboarding even hotter.

Listening to MAN WITH A MISSION can amp up any ordinary day, but this particular song carries a slightly bittersweet vibe that will color a day on the slopes with a different atmosphere than usual.

Released in 1999, it’s a winter song by the rock band GLAY, and the music video—featuring TERU, who hails from Hokkaido, singing in a pure white snowy field—is especially memorable.
