The ending theme of the first season of the TV anime Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World.

The song features ethereal, melodious layers of vocals and remixes, making it an emotionally charged pop tune.

Be sure to check out the ballad “Sekka,” which captures the spirit of wabi-sabi.

This song was released by Eri Kitamura—known as a voice actor and singer—as the second opening theme for the anime C³ (C Cube).

The word “sekka” in the title is a winter seasonal term that refers to snow crystals or snowflakes drifting like petals.

In the song, the fleeting nature of sekka is used as a metaphor for feelings that never reach their destination and fade away.

The beautiful Japanese expressions make it a piece that feels purifying to listen to.

Bleach Beat Collection: Fuyu no Hanabi – Gin Ichimaru ft. Matsumoto

Isn’t it great when a song strongly reflects the essence of its anime? With that in mind, I’d like to recommend “Fuyu no Hanabi” (Winter Fireworks).

It’s a track sung by Gin Ichimaru, a popular character from the anime BLEACH.

Featuring Rangiku Matsumoto, a female character with a close connection to him, the song portrays their meeting and their back-and-forth.

The performances by their respective voice actors, Koji Yusa and Kaya Matsutani, are truly outstanding and a major highlight.

It’s enjoyable on its own, but watching the anime beforehand will let you appreciate the world of the song even more.

Starlight Prologue

Perfect for those moments on a winter night when you want to listen to an idol song that truly touches the heart.

Used as an insert song in the anime Love Live! Superstar!!, this piece was released in October 2021.

The clear, radiant vocals of the Liella! members and the string arrangements create a beautiful sense of breadth, bringing warmth to the cold season.

The lyrics, themed around dreams, friendship, and hope for the future, gently resonate with listeners and give them courage.

It’s great to listen to alone on a long winter night, and also highly recommended to enjoy with someone special.

This is a bright winter anime song released as the second single by μ’s, the group from the hugely popular anime Love Live!.

Its instrumental tones and melody evoke the feeling of winter.

It gained attention when it was used as an insert song in the second season of the TV anime.

This is a song by ChoQMay that feels like painting the moment when winter’s chill softens and shifts into spring through music.

Released in January 2024, it was selected as the ending theme for the TV anime A Sign of Affection.

Characterized by a warm tone, it features vocalist Rei’s clear, translucent voice that conveys the emotive lyrical world in depth.

The arrangement, as if watching over the changing seasons, is something I’d love for you to hear if your heart is fluttering in anticipation of new encounters!

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.
