snowMatsubara Takeshi
This is the sixth single released in 2010 by enka singer Takeyuki Matsubara, who is also known as the Prince of Snow Songs.
Matsubara, whose clear, pure voice has led him to record many songs themed around “snow” and “winter,” often feels closer to pop than traditional enka in terms of accessibility.
This song, “Yuki” (Snow), vividly conveys a world set in a snowy region from a woman’s perspective, with a rich sense of ebb and flow.
Snow may evoke a certain loneliness while at the same time awakening passionate emotions.
It’s a winter song that shimmers with the quiet elegance of snow and the blazing feelings of love.
Snow FantasyMatsuda Seiko
A song included on Seiko Matsuda’s best album “Snow Garden,” released on November 21, 1987.
It was used as an insert song for a film about a boy.
This is a slow-tempo pop song that sings of a poetic worldview, likening a snowy night to the bottom of the sea.
snowchiaki naomi
Naomi Chiaki, who debuted in 1969 and has created timeless classics, sings a poignant snow-themed ballad titled “Yuki” (“Snow”).
The song was originally the B-side to Mimi Hiyoshi’s 1986 single “Kitasabou,” which Naomi Chiaki later covered.
It portrays a dramatic moment in a woman’s life.
Though little is explicitly stated, the story seems to be that she visits her ex-lover’s apartment only to find he is already living with a new partner.
The way the song mirrors her emotional state with the falling snow is masterfully done.
Powder Snow ~An Eternally Unending Winter~Sandaime Jē Sōru Burazāzu fromu Eguzairu Toraibu
A love ballad released by Sandaime J Soul Brothers in 2012.
It’s a winter song where feelings of love, gently spun over a melody that exudes the classic winter vibe, seem to soak in.
Is the character in the lyrics perhaps experiencing a first love? There are times when you can’t grasp the sense of distance or don’t know what to do, right? It portrays the emotion of wanting to let those unspoken feelings ride on the snow.
When you want to recall faint memories or a pure heart, you’ll find yourself longing for “Powder Snow ~An Eternally Unending Winter~.”
Snowy WeekendImai Miki
A winter classic that delicately and beautifully portrays an irrepressible love.
It’s included on Miki Imai’s 1992 album “flow into space” as well as her best-of “Ivory II.” A love song about realizing someone’s importance only after losing them, and longing for the one you can’t forget.
You’ll be wrapped in its gentle melody.
The singer-songwriter Akemi Kakihara, who wrote the song, has also covered it herself, but Miki Imai’s version feels warmer.
It’s the kind of song you’d want to listen to slowly at home on a night of softly falling snow.
Snow somehow feels like it makes everything flat and even.
