[Masterpieces] Big Feature on Winter Anime Songs! (41–50)
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?

A flower that blooms in the snowHanazawa Kana
It’s a classic winter song performed by one of today’s most popular voice actors, Kana Hanazawa.
It served as the second ending theme for the TV anime adaptation of Yusuke Kishi’s 2008 novel From the New World, which aired from 2012, and was released in January 2013 as a double A-side single together with the first ending theme, “Wareta Ringo.” Hanazawa is also known for receiving high praise for her energetic music career, and in this track you can fully enjoy her emotional vocals set against a poignant yet dramatic sound that matches the work’s worldview.
The song stands on its own, but I highly recommend experiencing it together with the series.
That voice becomes a map.Hayami Saori
Hayami Saori—affectionately known as Hayamin—has a boundlessly clear, soaring singing voice that exudes an elegant, refined quality, like the crisp chill of winter.
Released in 2016, this song is her second single and a double A-side, and it also served as the opening theme for Season 2 of the TV anime Snow White with the Red Hair, in which she starred.
Beyond her vocal ability that transcends the bounds of a typical voice actor, note that Hayami wrote the lyrics herself and was involved in the composition as well.
If possible, give the anime a watch—you’ll likely grow to love the song even more!
A faint layer of ice over a warm heartHayashibara Megumi
This winter anime song was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju, and it made waves because Ringo Sheena provided the music.
Its tone fits the anime’s world perfectly, and the retro vibe is super stylish.
If you like mature-sounding tracks, this one’s a must-listen.
Kazakiriyanaginagi
The opening theme of the TV anime Norn9: Norn + Nonette.
It’s sung by Nagi Yanagi, who also voices Aion in the show.
She also wrote the lyrics herself.
Since the anime aired in winter, her vocals feel as if they’re drifting out along with white breath in the cold air.
The song’s dynamics rise and fall, making it feel thrilling to listen to.
Try comparing her vocals at the beginning with those in the latter half.
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!
snowdropHaruna Runa
A song by Luna Haruna, who is active as both a singer and a model.
It was chosen as the ending theme for “Koimonogatari,” part of the anime Monogatari Series Second Season.
The lyrics portray the joy of becoming mutual lovers and being together, while also feeling a touch of anxiety.
Even when your feelings connect with the person you like, you sometimes can’t help but feel uneasy, right? But those feelings of love keep growing, and eventually even that anxiety fades, letting you find happiness in even the smallest things.
It’s a winter song that captures a sweet-and-sour sensation amid the uncertainty.
