behindyanaginagi
A gem of an anime song that depicts a clear, wintry scene and a quiet resolve amid the changing seasons.
It was released in November 2017 as the ending theme for the anime “Just Because!,” which portrays the youthful lives of high school students.
Sung by the three characters Mio Natsume, Hazuki Morikawa, and Ena Komiya, the song’s structure beautifully layers each of their feelings.
Its lyrical resonance, like falling snow, is perfect for a winter night when you want to reflect on your relationship with someone important.
An ideal companion for a Christmas Eve spent alone.
RAY OF LIGHTNakagawa Shoko
Released as Shoko Nakagawa’s 11th single, this song was selected as the ending theme for the TV anime Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
It’s a heartrending piece—a very atmospheric rock ballad that’s perfect for winter.

This is the one chosen as the theme song for Chapter 1 of the film Fate/stay night [Heaven’s Feel].
It’s a track by the popular singer Aimer, known for numerous anime songs like “Zankyo Sanka,” and it was released in 2017 as her 13th single.
The tense sound arrangement, with beautifully resonant strings, is striking.
You get the feeling of being enveloped by its ethereal soundscape.
The film is a trilogy, so watching all three parts helps you understand the world of the song even more.
I also recommend the TV series!

STYX HELIXMYTH & ROID
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.
Its lyrics convey a sadness and poignancy that perfectly match the anime’s worldview.
With vocalist Mayu’s captivating voice, it’s a heartrending yet powerful track.
Re:Re:ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
Re:Re: was chosen as the opening theme for the anime ERASED, whose unpredictable story developments are deeply moving.
The song, by the rock band ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, was originally included on their 2004 album Sol-fa and was re-recorded for the tie-in with the series.
Its intro, marked by the bright ring of a nimble guitar, leaves a strong impression, and the track is also known for its relatively long running time.
The lyrics, which convey feelings for someone you can no longer meet, evoke the chill of winter.
Give a listen to its driving rock sound that wraps around loneliness and solitude.
