Stay Warm in Winter with Snowy Japanese Songs
If you've already learned by heart the songs we recommended earlier this year, we bring five more songs for your winter karaoke sessions!
L'Arc-en-Ciel — Snow Drop
The lyrics hint more at the snow melting when warmer weather comes, but how could we miss L'Arc-En-Ciel in this list? Since we couldn't find the more fitting "Yuki no Ashiato" (Snow Footprints), this song released in 1998 was our second-best find.
Bump of Chicken — Snow Smile
This quiet, guitar-centered track is the perfect way to summon up the winter spirit at any moment of the year. Fast forward to 0:16 to hear a clip of the hit song from the best of Bump of Chicken album.
GReeeeN — Yuki no Ne
Let this charming video carry you off to a white, melancholic dream. Don't miss it if you like music videos with a story.
Arashi — Dear Snow
Good looking guys and a heartbreaking romantic song: a perfect recipe for success! Released in 2010, this track immediately climbed at the top of the Oricon charts, and was also the theme for member Kazunari Ninomiya's movie Ooku: The Inner Chambers.
Yoshi Ikuzo — Yukiguni
The music genre of modern enka has an unending supply of songs on the topic of snow; not a surprise as this kind of music is manly composed of sentimental ballads. It was a hard choice, but we came up with this representative track for you!
