White LightAmuro Namie

White Light / (Lyric Video)

This song marked Namie Amuro’s first Christmas track.

It’s perfect for a winter drive date when you and your partner, who you don’t often get to see because of busy schedules, finally manage to find time to meet.

As the lyrics say, no matter what unpleasant things happen every day, seeing your loved one blows them all away.

A drive date with this song playing sets a gentle, relaxed mood.

Highly recommended for those who usually live life in a rush.

Namie Amuro – a walk in the park

It was released in 1996 as Namie Amuro’s eighth single.

Produced by Tetsuya Komuro, it was used as the commercial song for Hitachi Maxell’s “maxell UD2,” in which Amuro herself appeared.

The lyrics are memorable, as if encouraging you—walking through a winter park, mulling over love troubles, but saying it’ll work out somehow.

Namie Amuro’s dance and hairstyle also became a hot topic.

Yumi Matsutoya – BLIZZARD (from “Love in Japan, and Yuming.”)

This is a song included on her first album, NO SIDE, released in December 1984.

Its popularity spread after it was used in a winter Shinkansen commercial.

With a somewhat fragile, wistful melody and her straightforward vocals, it’s a track that beautifully captures a winter scene.

As a winter song, it’s often played at ski resorts and similar places!

Ayumi Hamasaki / Zutto… (ayumi hamasaki COUNTDOWN LIVE 2014-2015 A Cirque de Minuit)

This song is Ayumi Hamasaki’s 53rd single CD, released in 2014.

It peaked at No.

5 on the Oricon CD chart.

A winter love ballad in which Hamasaki sings candidly about her feelings for someone she loves, it’s a perfect song for Christmas and highly recommended.

Have you ever been so single-minded in love that you lost sight of everything around you? You might think to yourself, “That’s not good,” but being able to feel that strongly about someone is wonderful! That kind of love story is portrayed in Saucy Dog’s song “Aa, Mou.” Released digitally in 2021, it was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Dekinai Futari.” Its pop, breezy sound is beautifully complemented by vocalist Shinya Ishihara’s expansive singing.

And the lyrics, which trace the wavering feelings of love, are sure to make your heart flutter!

Sonar Pocket “Futari Fuyu Monogatari” [MV Full]

There are many pure lyrics that resonate with a lot of young people, and I feel you can sense that just by listening to this song.

The tune brings Christmas to mind, but it’s a love song you’ll want to hear in winter.

Winter songs are often bittersweet, but this is one you’ll want to listen to with someone you love.

Riding on a mid-tempo groove and a pop, catchy melody full of digital flair, the twin-vocal harmonies make it a beautifully crafted track.

It was released in 1993 as ZARD’s tenth single.

The song was used as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Shiratori Reiko de Gozaimasu!” and reached No.

1 on the Oricon weekly singles chart.

The lyrics poignantly describe the sadness of remembering a past love and a painful breakup each time winter comes.
