Miyuki Nakajima (Cover by Akina Nakamori) 'Akujo'

I am captivated by Tamaki-san's enchanting singing voice, and intoxicated by Akina Nakamori's voice, which has a different atmosphere from the songs I have heard before.

The gentle and bittersweet singing in this Remioromen song grips the heart tightly. Just as the snowflakes melt away like tears, this is a wonderful tanka that seems to melt the heart as well.



🌟 Megumi Akizuki

SEKAI NO OWARI - "Snow Magic Fantasy"

From a cute song scattered with fairy-tale-like stories, you have created a heart-fluttering, lovely tanka. Whether it was truly a winter spirit or not, the time spent sharing those feelings is surely a miracle for the two of you.

Chris Rea, 'Driving Home for Christmas'

Tsuru-san's song choices always seem to open new doors to music, and this one is perfect for listening to during the exciting time before Christmas. Christmas is twice as fun when celebrated together, and this makes me look forward to it even more.



🌟Konohana (Kaoru Konohana)-san

Judas Priest, 'Painkiller'

🌟Aoino Sora-san

Chihiro Onitsuka, 'King of Solitude'

A song that gently warms the heart in the cold winter, as if being drawn into Onitsuka-san's voice. The tanka written in modern language nestles close to the song, speaking softly to us.



🌟Yuzu-san

yama, 'Oz.'
King Gnu, 'Chameleon'

Yuzu's song selection is painful, so painful, and you don't know what to do, but you still want to look forward. It possesses both the healing and the energy to push you forward at such times. It's just like Yuzu. The haiku and poems that gently wrap around the world of the song are wonderful.

DREAMS COME TRUE "WINTER SONG"

Leroy Anderson "Sleigh Ride"

The images and tanka that resonate with the beautiful English sounds of DREAMS COME TRUE make me feel gentle as I think of a world where snow dances at night. The song selection and haiku that make me excited for the long-awaited Christmas were also wonderful.



🌟Shichi-san

Zoo-karaderu "Waiting Man"
Elephant Kashimashi "Winter Morning"

I don't know what it is, but Shichi-san's tanka are cute and really hit the spot for me. It's like they just ooze out from the person themselves. I yearn for that kind of northern life, eating ice cream while watching the snow from a warm room.



🌟Azuki-san

Azuki "Wish♥"

The excitement of a date on Christmas Eve—the lyrics that express those feelings just as they are are just like a cute girl herself. I hope you can successfully convey those important words on this sparkling night.

🌟 Madoka Sasara-san

Seiko Matsuda 'Heart's Earring'

That voice, which has not faded even now, fits the phrase 'eternal idol' perfectly. The feeling of trying to overcome tears and move on from a broken heart is something one can empathize with, just as much now as in the past.


🌟 Koredemo Haha-san

Wham! 'Last Christmas'
LiSA x Uru 'Reunion'
Polar Bear Cup Orchestra 'Polaris'

🌟Keika Nishino

Keisuke Kuwata "Shiroi Koibito-tachi"

Uru "Soba ni Iru yo"

The masterpiece "Shiroi Koibito-tachi," which fills the heart with the bittersweetness of winter no matter how many times you listen to it, is expanded upon by a tanka poem full of emotion. They also found a song that fits the Polar Bear Cup catchphrase, "Look, I'm always by your side" perfectly!

🌟Yukinko⛄️

Yosui Inoue "Koori no Sekai"
Happy End "Dakishimetai"

Some people spend winter warmly, while others must live in the harshness of extreme cold. With tanka and songs that skillfully embody such cold, it's nice to have a night to immerse yourself in winter.


🌟Daiki Shioda

Mimori Yusa (feat. Morio Koga) "Silent Bells"

Christmas songs always have a special feeling, but among them, this song, overflowing with transparency, makes you feel as if you are in another world. It was a haiku that makes you want to listen closely to what sounds you can hear when the snow piles up and silence envelops everything.



🌟Yaginu Numata

Shoichi Miyazawa "Kirisuto wa Umagoya de Umareta"
Hachimitsu Pie "Sentimental Dori"

Songs full of sorrow evoke a sense of nostalgia. Wanting to go home, but being unable to. Such feelings seep out from both the songs and the tanka, leaving one feeling sentimental.


🌟 Kayon-san

Isao Bito - "Salamandra"

One person is sad and lonely. The picture drawn of a friend beside the only Salamandra in the world singing sadly is so warm, truly embodying the catchphrase, "Look, I'm always by your side." Thank you for the illustration that exudes Kayon-san's kindness, and for your wonderful haiku, despite it being your first time.



🌟 Maho-san

Official Hige Dandism - "Pretender"

Among recent songs, this is a quintessential sad track: Hige Dan's "Pretender." The article, which explores various patterns of reply poems considering the woman's feelings, is also fun and seems to show herbivore men how they might confess their love.



🌟 Haruka Yunagi-san

Noriyuki Makihara - "North Wind ~May It Reach You~"

The situation of walking alone through a snowy town where the north wind blows is cold and lonely. However, Makihara-san's voice warms you up somehow. It makes you want to gently open the lid on your memories while thinking of that person who is now far away.



🌟 Sen-sing-san

Miyuki Nakajima - "Fight!"

A refreshing song that gives you a strong push on a cold morning when even going to work feels like a chore. It is a wonderful tanka that likens the people walking through a crowded station to fish swimming smoothly.



🌟Olav 153

Yumi Matsutoya 'Yuki no Michishirube'

Just as the ingredients in a stew blend together while bringing out the best in each other, Yumi's song resonates as if it were blending the love of the two people in the commercial video with the snowy landscape to create a single world. A work that makes you feel gentle love.



🌟Oishii Mushiebi

NiziU 'Blue Moon'

From this fresh and overflowing-with-cuteness song, Ebi-chan, who is also young and cute, shares a cute and wonderful haiku, filled with the wish that the happy time with the person she loves will continue.



🌟Hakuraku Shun

Akina Nakamori 'Kazari ja nai no yo Namida wa'

Momoe Yamaguchi 'Imitation Gold'

The voices of Akina Nakamori and Momoe Yamaguchi, which have not faded even now, allow us to feel not only their coolness but also the hidden thoughts within their strength. The tanka written in a flowing manner and the haiku overflowing with reality are wonderful.



🌟Teruha Matsuura

NSP 'Ame wa Niawanai'

I keenly feel the severe cold of winter in this song, which is full of melancholy and somewhat lonely. It is a tanka that makes you feel a story where you want to hope that, just like the song that feels nostalgic even though it is the first time hearing it, when spring comes and the heart melts, love will continue too.



🌟Wani_K-san

Yasuaki Honda 'Ice Palace'

As the name suggests, this song drifts with a mysterious atmosphere that feels like slipping into a world of ice. The ice palace, melting in a single generation, felt poignant yet dignified, as if it knew its own fate.



🌟peach-chan-san

Official HIGE DANdism 'Subtitle'

A song that makes you catch your breath at the words spun so quietly and carefully. Comparing words to snowflakes that eventually melt and disappear is both poignant and beautiful. The haiku that accompanies the song is also wonderful.


🌟Pokomaru-san

amazarashi 'Christmas'

To a girl who doesn't know what a missile is, the glowing object flying through the sky looked like a shooting star. The heartlessness and sorrow of war are conveyed realistically. The music video and the song, which weave a story that makes you sincerely wish for peace and people's happiness, are a must-see.



🌟akariko-san

Akina Nakamori 'Aishu no midnight'
Tatsuro Yamashita 'FUTARI'

A song that makes you deeply feel that this is what it must be like to fall in love so seriously that you lose sight of everything else. Listening to it seems to bring back memories of past loves. The tanka poem, with its realistic touch of love, is poignantly wonderful.
