Mr.Children’s “HERO” features a rhythm that feels like the sound of falling snow.

Released in 2002, the song’s lyrics, written from a parent’s perspective, stem from Kazutoshi Sakurai’s question: “What is a true hero?” Rather than becoming a grand hero with great power who sometimes does dirty work, he expresses the desire to be the kind of hero who can put the most important person right in front of him first and protect them.

It’s a feeling that resonates not only with parents, but with anyone who has someone they want to protect.

How about taking it along on a ski trip with someone special?
