Ballad of the Rainbow and SnowTo wa e mo wa

1971 Towa et Moi – Ballad of Rainbow and Snow (Single Version)

The famous song by Toi et Moi, created for the 1972 Sapporo Olympics, is a winter anthem that links hope to the northern land.

Lyricist Bunichiro Kawamura was given three conditions by NHK—“a song that will be sung long after the Games,” “a song that expresses the feelings of Sapporo’s citizens,” and “a song ordinary people can easily sing.” After about two weeks of deliberation, he completed the lyrics.

Through the contrasting motifs of snow and rainbow, the piece conveys both the strength of people living amid harsh nature and a wish for peace that unites countries around the world.

Released in August 1971, it was also performed at that year’s Kohaku Uta Gassen.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to when visiting Sapporo in winter or when you want to face forward without yielding to the cold.

Cat Snow

The folk group Neko’s 1972 single “Yuki” is a classic in which the band delivers a song written and composed by Takuro Yoshida.

The protagonist’s poignant feelings for someone far away overlap with the quietly accumulating snowfall.

The delicate timbre of the 12-string guitar, the rhythm emphasized by the hi-hat, and the restrained vocals create a crystalline resonance that evokes the sophisticated mood of urban folk.

On a winter night when you long for someone you can’t meet, why not listen while watching snow dance outside your window? It’s a song that seeps into the heart, keeping you company when you want to bask in memories in a warm room.

Crystal SnowBTS

Crystal Snow

“Crystal Snow” pairs perfectly with the crisp winter air.

Released in 2017 as part of a triple A-side alongside the globally breakthrough hit “DNA” and “MIC Drop,” it’s a beloved masterpiece with enduring popularity.

Snow has a way of stirring all kinds of emotions, doesn’t it? This love song captures the ache of feelings that seem within reach yet remain just out of grasp.

Kanata Okajima’s lyrics are superb, and BTS’s vocal work makes the fragility all the more palpable.

If a beautiful ballad needs definition, this song surely qualifies, with a masterful progression that lets warmth emerge in the latter half.
