Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Winter, wrapped in cold, crisp air, is a season that naturally makes you long for human warmth.

At the same time, with fun events like Christmas, it’s also a season that brings a subtle sense of excitement.

This time, we’ve researched Western love songs perfect for winter—focusing on the latest popular and noteworthy tracks, and introducing timeless classics in the latter half.

From mellow masterpieces that set a romantic winter mood, to songs about heartbreak and poignant feelings for those who want to lean into the sadness, and of course Christmas-related tracks—we’re delivering a lineup carefully selected from a wide range of genres!
