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.
snowNakanomori BAND
A winter classic written and composed by Masatoshi Mashima, beautifully performed by Nakanomori BAND.
Against a backdrop of white, piling snow, a bittersweet story unfolds in which distant memories and warmth quietly return.
It opens with images of snow drifting down onto everyday scenes like the morning assembly platform and cherry tree branches, and features striking lyrics where the scent and echoes of someone nostalgic fall into the heart like tiny particles.
Released in October 2007 as the double A-side single “Isoburavo/Yuki,” it was also selected for power play on Nippon TV’s “Ongaku Senshi MUSIC FIGHTER.” It’s a song that gently stays with you on a winter night when you find yourself wanting to drift into old memories.
Snow, fall and scatter toward you.Wagakki Band
This is Wagakki Band’s enchanting winter ballad, where shamisen and koto weave their tones together with Yuko Suzuhana’s vocals interlaced with shigin (poetic recitation).
Included on the album “Shikisai,” released in March 2017, it was also chosen as the theme song for the stage play “Laughing in Purgatory,” performed that summer.
Set against a landscape of falling, accumulating snow, it portrays a heartrending tale of feelings that cannot reach the one who matters most.
Highly recommended if you’re looking for a dark, beautiful rock ballad that seeps into the depths of your heart on a cold night.
Snow Shadow CapWagakki Band
Wagakki Band, known for their unique sound that fuses traditional Japanese instruments with rock, released this classic winter song in January 2018.
It was featured in a New Year’s sale commercial for the used-car dealer Gulliver, drawing attention as the band members themselves appeared in the ad.
Written and composed by vocalist Yuko Suzuhana, the track layers the three-dimensional timbres of traditional instruments—Tsugaru shamisen, koto, shakuhachi, and wadaiko—within a pop-rock framework, evoking a resilient strength like waiting for spring beneath the snow.
The driving force of electric guitar and drums contrasts beautifully with the delicate tones of the traditional instruments, creating a comfortable blend that can make you feel warmed from the core when listened to in the cold season.
Included on the album “Otonoe,” it has remained a staple in the band’s live performances.
Snow CountryToukyou Jihen
This experimental track transplants the emotion of traditional Japanese popular song—akin to the resonance of wagakki (traditional instruments)—into a hard-edged rock ensemble.
It’s a masterpiece by Tokyo Jihen, led by Ringo Sheena, included on their 2006 album “Adult.” As Sheena herself has called it “enka,” the phrasing that makes use of Japanese rhythmic cadence and lingering vowels, along with its lyrical word choices, overlays the snowy landscapes with the ache of a forlorn love.
On the album, it plays a narrative role through its continuity with the surrounding tracks, and on tour it took on importance as the opening number.
It’s a song you’ll want to hear when you want to feel the chill of the season while being wrapped in a voice that somehow carries warmth.
( you can do ) everythingONE OK ROCK
This song, included on the 2007 album Zeitakubyo, epitomizes ONE OK ROCK’s early style.
With predominantly English lyrics, it unleashes a message of self-affirmation: even if you’re lost, if you keep believing, you’ll reach what you’re striving for.
Written and composed by Taka, and co-arranged with Satoru Hiraide, it spotlights the thrust of distorted guitars and dynamic vocals.
When you’re wavering, the song’s momentum gives you a push, making you feel “I can do it”—an encouraging anthem you’ll want to keep as a talisman.

Let’s dream!rasonburu
The 5th digital single, released in July 2025, is a straightforward expression of the desire to keep chasing the pure dreams we held as children, even into adulthood.
Born from seeing a friend on the verge of giving up on their dream, its background resonates deeply with listeners of the same generation.
With driving guitar and an exhilarating melody, the arrangement races forward and fully showcases Lasonble’s signature, live-ready dynamism.
The song was also selected for a web commercial tie-in starting in July of the same year, in collaboration with Fashion Center Shimamura and ABEMA’s dating reality show “Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita.” Reaching a broad audience as an uplifting anthem for everyday life, it’s a track that gives you a push when reality feels overwhelming and when you want to believe in your dream once more.
