GIFTNissy(Nishijima Takahiro)
A perfect Christmas number that conveys just how much she loves him.
It’s a track from Nissy (Takahiro Nishijima)’s 2016 album HOCUS POCUS.
Both the lyrics and the music video depict a boyfriend who’s late for their Christmas date; even as she throws reproachful words at him, the look on her face says “I’m so happy to see you,” and that only makes his feelings for her grow even stronger—warming your heart in the process.

My Gift to YouCHEMISTRY
“My Gift to You” is the perfect song to give to someone you love.
It’s a moving ballad that portrays the gentle feelings you have for someone special.
Released in 2002 as a limited advance single of 100,000 copies, it sold out immediately.
For many CHEMISTRY fans, this might be the go-to winter song.
It’s truly a track that warms your heart when you listen to it, and as a woman, it’s the kind of song you’d love to receive from a man.
A winter love song filled with affection—highly recommended.
Mr.SnowmanE-girls
Winter is practically the season for lovers, packed with exciting events that make your heart race! And for the first big event—Christmas—the song you’ll want to listen to is e-girls’ “Mr.
Snowman.” It’s a delightful, feel-good pop tune perfect for anyone who has a crush or wants to find a partner by Christmas.
It portrays a girl who’s proactive in love, and it’ll give you a boost of courage.
Crank up the excitement to the max and enjoy the lead-up to Christmas!
By the time of the Christmas carolsInagaki Junichi
Junichi Inagaki’s “Christmas Carol no Koroniwa” may look like a happy song just from the title, but it’s actually about a couple keeping their distance.
The song suggests that by the time Christmas comes, they’ll have an answer…
The chill between them and the winter cold pierce the heart.
The way they take space feels real, and setting the climax at Christmas—the time when couples are usually at their most excited—makes it an achingly bittersweet track.
Merry XmasBoA
When it comes to Christmas songs, I’m sure many people immediately think of BoA’s “Meri Kuri.” Since its release in 2004, it has continued to be loved as a classic Christmas tune.
With a sound that evokes the holiday season, it’s a heartwarming song.
In the chorus, where she sings about wanting someone to stay by her side forever, BoA’s soaring vocals express the greatness of love.
It’s a grand love ballad that, on the special day of Christmas, reminds us anew of the love and gratitude we feel for the person who shares our everyday moments.
Snow SmileBUMP OF CHICKEN
From the narrative-style lyrics, you can picture a beautiful winter scene and a happy couple, and just imagining it warms your heart.
The phrase “It gives me a reason to slip your hand into my pocket…” is one many people probably longed for.
Although it depicts a couple who seem very happy, the end of the song reveals that the loved one is no longer there, making it a bittersweet love song.
The more you listen, the more it grows on you.
White LoveSPEED
White Love, released in 1997 as the fifth single by SPEED, the girls’ group that was hugely popular in the late ’90s.
With total sales surpassing 2 million copies, it became SPEED’s biggest hit.
It’s an essential pick when it comes to winter love songs.
The lyrics capture a pure, innocent love, portraying the miracle of meeting and being able to love each other.
Give it plenty of listens and enjoy your winter romance with a pure heart!
