[Masterpieces] Big Winter Anime Song Special! (71–80)
Promise of a walknangi
A number notable for singer-songwriter nangi’s wistful melodies.
It was chosen as the ending theme for the anime Shiki, based on Fuyumi Ono’s suspense-horror work.
The poignant tone of the piano, followed by the powerful band sound, seems to express the strong will at the core of the song.
Though it tells of a sorrowful farewell in the cold of winter, it pledges never to stop moving forward, no matter what days may come, until the distant future when they meet again.
The melody overlaps with winter’s chill in its sadness, yet beneath it reflects a passionate promise to one’s future self.
What a mess!Asaka
Asaka’s clear, translucent vocals wonderfully bring out the sparkle of young love.
Chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime “Dosanko Gal wa Namara Menkoi,” it was released in January 2024.
Riding on a bright, pop sound, it adorably portrays a girl’s heart swaying with love.
Listening to this song reminds you how joyful—and just a little bittersweet—being in love can be.
It’s perfect for girls’ get-togethers with friends or for karaoke.
Ash Like Snowthe brilliant green
A winter rock number by the brilliant green that sings of a bittersweetness drifting down like ash.
Released in 2008, it was used as the second opening theme for the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
Its heavy sound, woven from warped guitars and powerful drums, is intertwined with Tomoko Kawase’s transparent vocals.
Peaking at No.
8 on the Oricon Weekly Chart, the song remains etched in many fans’ memories as an ambitious work marking the band’s restart.
It’s a track that stays by your side on winter nights when you want to stop and reflect on yourself.

Angel’s PrayerAiM
Voice actress Ai Maeda has not only appeared in many TV anime series, but also performs as a singer under the name AiM.
One of her roles includes Digimon Adventure 02, whose Christmas episode featured her song Angel’s Prayer as an insert track.
It’s an anime song with a wintry feel that we highly recommend to anyone who fondly remembers the wildly popular Digimon of that era.
white snowKuraki Mai
When it comes to winter songs by the golden duo of Mai Kuraki and Detective Conan, I feel like your generation might be revealed by whether you think of the 2002 Christmas song Winter Bells or this Shiroi Yuki.
Released in 2006 as Kuraki’s 25th single, this track served as the ending theme for the aforementioned TV anime Detective Conan.
Its clichéd chord progression gives it that quintessential feel, resulting in a beautiful song that’s both wistful and lyrical.
The key change in the latter half adds a dramatic touch.
Kuraki’s exceptional expressive power as a vocalist is on full display!
frostbite of the lipsWarukyūre
An epic anime song that unfolds dramatically! It was featured as an insert song in the film “Macross Δ the Movie,” performed by the in-story unit Walküre.
It’s included on their third album, “Walküre Reborn!,” released in 2021.
This piece energetically sings about feelings for someone important, building to a heart-stirring finish as you listen.
You can practically sense the film’s grand scale from this song alone.
The Macross series really has fantastic music.
memory of snowfripSide
This song, with a sound that evokes a nostalgic 90s vibe, is by fripSide.
It was included as the B-side to 2010’s “LEVEL5-judgelight,” which was used as the opening theme for A Certain Scientific Railgun.
It conveys a fleeting atmosphere that conjures up wintry scenes of falling snow, and the guitar riffs are really cool.
Another highlight is the crystal-clear vocals of Yoshino Nanjō, who joined as the new vocalist after nao’s departure.
