Orion in midwinterINFINITY16
Created as a sequel to the summer classic “Midsummer Orion,” released in December 2010, this work features vocals not only from MINMI but also from Kana Nishino.
Shifting away from the reggae-tinged sound of its predecessor, it transforms into a tender love ballad that resonates on winter nights.
It weaves a poignant tale of love, overlaying memories of bygone seasons and unforgettable moments with the constellation Orion shining in the winter sky.

You and the slopesSHISHAMO
It’s a story about going to a ski resort for fun—not just the two of us—with someone I’ve had a crush on for two years.
It’s a ski song by SHISHAMO, a girls’ band that’s hugely popular with younger generations, and the lyrics portray a sweet, relatable kind of young love that’s so cute and heartwarming.
But it turns out the person she likes actually has a girlfriend… The girl pretends not to know and locks her feelings for him away in her heart.
The melody is bright, but it’s a fleeting and bittersweet song.
holly (Japanese holly tree, Ilex crenata)Do As Infinity
A beloved love ballad with a bluesy vibe.
Tomiko Van’s somewhat androgynous vocals pierce through the sorrow-tinged melody, lending a monochrome, withered winter hue to the sweeping, ballad-typical arrangement.
Released in 2003 as the lead single for their fifth album, “GATES OF HEAVEN,” it was their 17th single.
Winter MagicKARA
KARA, the Korean girl group that helped ignite the K-pop boom in Japan.
Let me introduce their winter song “Winter Magic”! Released in 2011 as their fifth single, this mid-tempo track showcases the members’ clear, translucent vocals that convey tenderness and fragility.
The lyrics, which earnestly capture pure, young love, really tug at the heartstrings.
They overflow with a woman’s adorable wish to stay together forever.
Many listeners will likely find parts that resonate with their own feelings.

As the title suggests, it portrays a passionate love unfolding on the ski slopes in midwinter.
It’s a perfect up-tempo track for the winter sports season, and listening to it on the way to the mountains is sure to crank up your excitement! Pair the ‘slope magic’—how ski wear can make you look cute or cool—with this song, and go win yourself a wonderful romance!
