YukitokiNEW!yanaginagi

A refreshing number by Nagi Yanagi, whose crystalline vocals evoke both winter’s chill and the promise of spring.

Set in a world that conjures the story’s heroine and motifs of flowers that bloom in winter, it depicts a frozen heart slowly thawing.

Chosen as the opening theme for Season 1 of the popular TV anime My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected.

Although released as a single in April 2013, the fast-paced sound crafted by Masashi Kitagawa remains timeless.

Nagi Yanagi’s delicate expressiveness brings a liberating feeling, as if gently nudging the listener forward.

It’s perfect not only for immersing yourself in the story’s world, but also for looking ahead to a new season.

Snowlit TownNEW!saitou yuki

Yuki Saito, a top idol representing the 1980s who continues to shine today as a skilled actress.

This work is included on the album “Yuki no Danshō Sound Sketch,” released in December 1985 as a related piece to the film “Fragments of Snow – Passion,” in which she starred.

The contrast between the snowy scenery painted by Takashi Matsumoto and the artificial lights seeps into the heart, carried by Takao Kisugi’s poignant melody.

Although it was never released as a single, its serene beauty has made it a beloved hidden gem among fans.

On a winter night when the cold bites, if you want to sit quietly and reflect in a warm room, why not listen to Yuki Saito’s crystal-clear singing voice?

29 of Onyanko Club and went on to achieve remarkable success as a solo singer.

Released in October 1986, this second single is one of the songs that accomplished the feat of five consecutive No.

1s on the Oricon chart from her debut.

It’s also known for lyrics by Yasushi Akimoto and composition by Tsugutoshi Goto.

The lyrics depict a scene of tears on a winter night road as the north wind blows, stirring listeners’ hearts alongside the minor-key melody.

Its wistful, ballad-like sound, distinct from glitzy idol pop, really resonates.

The sweet, innocent vocals, conversely, heighten the sense of poignancy—an 80s classic you might find yourself humming on the way home during the cold season.

The continuation of the dreamNEW!Number_i

Number_i is drawing attention for their sophisticated dance performances and genre-defying musicality.

While many of their tracks lean heavily into hip-hop, this piece is perfect for those seeking a gentle sound that stays close to the heart.

It’s a ballad that closes out their mini-album “No.O -ring-,” released in May 2024, and is also known for being produced by Yuta Jinguji.

Its poignant world—overlaying rainy scenery with the continuation of a dream—quietly seeps into the listener’s heart.

The lingering aftertaste, deliberately placed at the very end of the album, is superb.

On a night when you want to forget the busyness of daily life and relax, take your time and really listen.
