Spitz – “Yukikaze” Special Video

This song vividly conjures up the frigid cold of the far north and the beautiful silver-white landscape that spreads out there.

Spitz’s characteristically translucent melodies and poetic lyrics seep into the heart.

Masamune Kusano is said to have written it with images of Norwegian scenery in mind, and the sound is striking for the warmth it conveys amid the harsh cold.

Released in April 2015 as their 40th single, it was also used as the ending theme for the TV Tokyo drama “Fuben na Benriya.” The song was later included on the album “Samenai.” It’s perfect for listening quietly alone in a snow-laden season, or while thinking of someone special.

A winter classic that lets you feel a light like hope within the cold wind.

Yumi Matsutoya’s “BLIZZARD” captivates with a sense of speed that blows away the winter cold.

Released in December 1984 and featured on the acclaimed album “NO SIDE,” which won the Excellence Album Award at the 27th Japan Record Awards, the song later became widely known as an insert song in the 1987 film “Take Me Out to the Snowland” (“Watashi o Ski ni Tsuretette”).

Its rich, layered synthesizers evoke the thrill and exhilaration of racing through a blizzard.

The lyrics vividly portray emotions swaying in a sealed-off white world and the sensation of cutting through an icy wind.

The Snowy Guiding Direction

This work left a strong impression on me along with the warm stew visuals from winter TV commercials.

It’s a classic ballad released digitally ahead of singer-songwriter Yumi Matsutoya’s December 2020 album, “Shinkai no Machi.” The song was written specifically for House Foods’ “Hokkaido Stew” commercial.

Even when you feel you might lose your sense of direction in a world of pure white snow, you can still clearly feel the presence of someone precious—portraying deep trust and love.

The characteristically dramatic melody and enveloping vocals that are so Yuming strike right at the heart.

It’s a song that makes you feel a warmth, as if a light is kindled in your heart just by thinking of someone, even in the bitter cold.

A piece to savor on a quiet snowy night while thinking of someone dear.

This is a number by Gen Hoshino, a singer-songwriter who shows his multifaceted talents not only in music but also as an actor and writer.

It’s included on the album YELLOW DANCER, released in December 2015, and was written as the theme song for Shiseido Maquillage’s web movie Snow Beauty.

Snow tends to evoke a cold image, but the groove rooted in Black music and the gently feverish vocals create a pleasantly warm feeling.

The mature sound is captivating, as if the quiet of falling snow coexists with a hidden inner passion.

It’s a track you’ll want to savor on a winter night when you’d like to spend a romantic, moody time—distinct from lively winter songs.
