As the title suggests, it portrays a passionate love unfolding on the ski slopes in midwinter.

White BeachHY
Released as a single in 2006 by HY, a mixture band from Okinawa, this work is one of their signature songs from their early days.
From the opening lines, the parched wind, hints of winter, and scenes of white beaches weave a unique atmosphere that delicately captures the shifting seasons particular to the subtropics.
The refreshing guitar sound, warm vocals, and nostalgic melody resonate pleasantly, giving it a curious charm that makes you want to listen during the colder months.
Performed since the era of their early album Departure, it has remained a staple at their live shows.
Whether you’re spending a winter night reminiscing about a distant summer or feeling a sudden pang of wistfulness at the turn of the seasons, the song’s gentle warmth will be there to keep you company.
The snow is piercingly coldatarayo
Set against the crisp, piercing air of winter, this work paints a scene of the season’s first snowfall.
Released by Atarayo in December 2022, the song tenderly portrays the ache of memories with a loved one—recollections of the four seasons flashing back like falling snow.
Seasonal images—cherry blossom-lined streets, a seaside café, a field of cosmos—illuminate the feelings of a protagonist who, despite the pain of parting, tries to take a step forward with a faint hope in their heart.
The transparent vocals and arpeggio-driven arrangement delicately capture winter’s quiet and an introspective worldview.
Chosen as the ending theme for ABEMA’s “ABEMA Prime,” it is performed frequently in winter setlists.
On a clear winter night, it will stay close to you as you look back on the past while resolving to face forward.
Lost SheepChatto Monchī
Using Christmas-like motifs, it portrays a relationship in a deep freeze, stuck in a period of ennui.
Even though reason says “I’m done,” a single email that just says “thank you” brings you to tears—this contradictory feeling is captured with raw honesty in lyrics by Akiko Fukuoka.
The song was included as the B-side to the 2006 single “Shangri-La,” and can also be heard on the 2010 compilation Hyōjō
Try listening to it alone on a cold night when your feelings for someone are wavering.
In that moment when you sway between bravado and your true feelings, it will surely stay by your side.
snow globeDaisuke
Daisuke’s 2016 winter song “Snow Dome” showcases his uniquely captivating vocals.
Using lyrics themed around a snow globe, the track reflects on a past romance—perfect for the winter season when we long for warmth.
The synth sounds that evoke a wintry atmosphere are wonderful.
First LoveUtada Hikaru
The breathy tone of her voice gives it a sensual sheen that resonates in the chest as a poignant emotion.
It’s hard to believe this was a song by a 16-year-old girl at the time—the quality and the world it creates are remarkable.
From the low notes to the falsetto high notes, every resonance is tinged with longing.
Released in 1999 as her third single, the song was used as the theme for the TBS drama “Majo no Jōken” (Devil’s Advocate/Conditions of a Witch), which helped propel it to greater success.
It’s no wonder the world took notice.
A masterpiece I highly recommend for winter.
North Wind ~May It Reach You~Makihara Noriyuki
Noriyuki Makihara’s 1992 release “Kitakaze ~Kimi ni Todokimasu You ni~” is a track that enjoys strong support from fans as a hidden gem among his songs.
The word “north wind,” which doesn’t evoke the flashiness of Christmas or Valentine’s Day, directly conveys the cold and loneliness of winter.
The lyrics portray a simple, innocent feeling of love, leaving you with a touch of bittersweet emotion as you listen.
Please take time to savor the lyrics, woven with Makihara’s gentle words.
