Before winter endsShimizu Shota
A song that anyone who’s experienced a long-distance relationship can relate to.

It’s a recommended track for a bittersweet winter love song.
JUST A FALSE!JUST A HOLE!10-FEET
A super upbeat track by 10-FEET included in the third installment of the compilation album “WHITE OUT,” which features Japanese rock bands with deep ties to snowboarding.
It is also included on 10-FEET’s fifth album “TWISTTER,” where it stands out as an exceptionally light and catchy pop number.
Kawasaki DriftBAD HOP
BAD HOP is a hip-hop crew from Kawasaki, Kanagawa.
With full-body tattoos and a wealth of gritty street experiences, they carry a presence that makes them seem far older than their early twenties.
This track incorporates the sound of the U.S.
mainstream while making it entirely their own, giving the impression that the future of Japanese rap is bright.
The beat is insanely dope, too!
Cinderella ChristmasKinKi Kids
Cinderella Christmas by KinKi Kids of Johnny’s is a signature winter song.
Released in 1998, its lyrics are based on the story of Cinderella.
It’s a perfect track to listen to as a couple while snowboarding on the slopes to elevate the mood.
come againm-flo
Armed with a solid grounding in authentic club music and a genre-defying, high-quality hybrid sound skillfully distilled into a J-POP format, m-flo delivered numerous hits in the early 2000s.
The song introduced here, “come again,” is their ninth major single, released in 2001, and it became their biggest hit and a certified classic.
Crafted by members fluent in both English and Japanese, its cleverly written lyrics depict the real romantic dynamics of stylish club-goers—while not specifically themed around winter, its January release has led many to remember it as a winter classic.
Built around the then-trendy UK music style known as “2-step,” the track’s forward-thinking sensibility—where LISA’s beautiful voice weaves a soothing melody and VERBAL’s cool rap intersects—still feels astonishing today.

To All Tha DreamersSOUL’d OUT
SOUL’d OUT is a hip-hop group that has continued to thrive in the mainstream with exceptional flow up to the present day.
Underground heads often tend to look down on rappers active in the major scene, but SOUL’d OUT’s skills were top-tier even when you include both the underground and mainstream, so they have plenty of fans among underground heads as well.
Their classic “To All Tha Dreamers” stands out with its refreshing sound and flow.
It’s perfect for snowboarding, so be sure to check it out.
Movin’on without youUtada Hikaru
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!
