Blanket SnowDream

With lyrics that capture two people drawing closer in a winter world blanketed in white, it’s a cute winter love song that warms you up, conveying the cozy feeling of simply being with the one you love.
Love Song in DecemberGACKT
Gackt’s only winter ballad.
The A and B verses carefully depict people in the city—filled with the chilly air and that subtly hopeful Christmas mood—and the way it unfolds into a grand, pure-feeling chorus is truly exceptional.
His vocals, powerful and richly expressive enough to match the song’s expansive scale, are especially popular with women and well worth noting.
The visuals also feel a bit different from today—there’s a purer vibe to them!

Christmas Eve RapKICK THE CAN CREW
A bold, innovative remix that uses Tatsuro Yamashita’s iconic Christmas song “Christmas Eve” and layers rap over it has become a hot topic.
Although it’s a love song, the lyrics depict unrequited love—feeling lonely because the person you like won’t notice you.
Released in November 2003 as their fourth single at the time, it was also included on the first best-of album released that same year.
Together…MAX
Released in 1999 as MAX’s 15th single.
It was MAX’s first medium-tempo ballad single and was used in a Nikon “COOLPIX” commercial.
The song was performed at the 50th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen and is a mature love song about wishing to be with someone special in the winter month of December.
KISS ~Falling in Love… Winter~MAY’S
It was released in 2008 as MAY’S third single.
It became a smash hit on radio and as a ringtone, reaching No.
4 on the RecoChoku weekly chart.
The lyrics overflow with a woman’s feelings—wishing to still be lovers ten years from now, yet unable to hide her anxieties.
HEROMr.Children
I think this song fits a very cold winter perfectly.
Among Mr.
Children’s many tracks, I believe this one is especially popular.
The music video also evokes winter and has a cute vibe.
The grand, cinematic feel of the story brings the chill to mind.
Still, the feeling of love outweighs that cold—that’s the impression it gives.
It was released on December 11, 2002, as their 24th single at the time.
A morning hastened by snow arrives.Ofisharu Higedan Dism
An up-tempo love song, “Yuki Isogu Asa ga Kuru” (The Hurrying-Snow Morning Will Come).
It’s a track included on Official HIGE DANDism’s album “Love and Peace Are Within You.” Set to an up-tempo piano sound, it portrays a man and woman’s romantic push-and-pull as they go for a drive.
Listening to it is sure to warm your heart with the man’s straightforward feelings.
Given the setting, it’s also perfect as a companion for your own drives.
Another highlight is the pop-tinged production touches—like the use of glissando—that add to its charm.
