SOUL’d OUT is a hip-hop group that has continued to thrive in the mainstream with exceptional flow up to the present day.

White LoveSPEED

White Love – SPEED (Full)

SPEED is a four-member female group that became a huge sensation in the late ’90s.

This song is one of their signature tracks and is also known as a winter classic.

The lyrics compare pure first love to falling snow, and the members’ clear, translucent vocals make it a memorable ballad.

Released in October 1997, it topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and became a massive hit, selling over 1.84 million copies.

It was also featured in a Shiseido commercial and is loved by a wide audience.

It’s a perfect fit as refreshing background music for snowboarding, too—play it in the car on your way to the slopes, and it’s guaranteed to get you pumped.

Movin’on without youUtada Hikaru

Utada Hikaru – Movin’ on without you

The reason I somehow picture winter when I listen to Hikaru Utada’s early songs is that they were actually released during the cold season.

Anyone who remembers that time will probably understand this feeling.

The second single, “Movin’ on without you,” released in February 1999, two months after the sensational debut hit “Automatic,” is a danceable track with a house-music groove.

Of course it became a big hit, but as I recall, it was especially praised by stylish music lovers who were into club music back then.

It’s astonishing that she wrote such mature lyrics at just 15, and her command of both English and Japanese, her rhythmic sense, and her melodic sensibility can only be described as genius by any objective measure.

Naturally, it’s also an incredibly cool and stylish track to have as BGM when you’re enjoying winter sports!
