Stay Warm in Winter with Snowy Japanese Songs

J-Pop Music Video Snow Japanese Winter

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

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
