AfterglowKurosaki Maon
A number by Maon Kurosaki, an anisong singer known for performing many anime songs.
It was used as the second ending theme for the 2015 anime School-Live! Winter tends to make us feel a bit down.
With the sun rising late and setting early, there’s less time in the light, and it’s easy to lose sight of hope.
But even those dark, lonely days will eventually give way to dawn, and days full of hope will arrive! The lyrics of this song give us that forward-looking feeling.
Afterglow—beyond the fading shine, a wonderful world awaits! With that belief, let’s get through the long, cold winter together!
snowspringChōkyūmei
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!
History MakerDEAN FUJIOKA
This is the opening theme of the anime “Yuri!!! on ICE,” which centers on figure skating.
It’s a grand piece sung in English, featuring a distinctive fusion of waltz rhythms, orchestral elements, and EDM beats.
Its lyrics offer encouragement to those who continue to chase their dreams, making it perfect for winter as we renew our resolve for the new year.
It’s a track I’d recommend to anyone who wants to reflect on their past and take a step into the future.
OraciónChino Ai
This is the ending theme of the 2014 TV anime adaptation of the popular light novel series No Game No Life, performed by Ai Kayano, who voices one of the protagonists, Shiro.
The song was produced by the music unit Nasca, and it’s crafted into an evocative, fast-paced number that reflects influences from 2000s emo and pop-rock.
While it isn’t specifically a winter song, its emotional lyrics—frankly portraying the characters’ feelings and relationships—combine with the sound to evoke a cold yet crystal-clear winter sky.
glowing madder-redAimer
Aimer’s gentle singing voice warms the heart in “Akane Sasu.” Released in 2016, the song was used as the ending theme for the anime Natsume’s Book of Friends Go.
In contrast to her warm tone, the lyrics evoke the poignant chill of winter.
They portray the ache of meeting and parting, yet also a slender ray of light: the resolve to keep walking forward with what those experiences have taught us held close to the heart.
As the season shifts from autumn to winter and the melancholy deepens, why not try getting through it by listening to this song that seems to fill that loneliness?
Can’t you sayRoys
This song was used as the ending theme for the 2017 TV anime Koi to Uso (Love and Lies).
With its instrumental timbre and slightly nostalgic melody, it’s an anime song that fits winter perfectly.
Roys is a three-member female vocal group composed of highly skilled performers, including members with musical theater experience.
