"'Let's Play Winter'" is the debut single by Japanese singer-songwriter Hitomi and was released on November 28, 1994 by Avex Trax.[http://www.oricon.co.jp/music/release/d/45981/1/ Let's Play Winter on Oricon] It appears as a remixed version on her 1995 debut studio album 'Go to the Top' and was later included in its original form on the 1999 best-of compilation 'H' and the 2007 three disc set 'Peace'.[http://www.hitomilove.com/albums.php Hitomi album discography and track lists]
Background
"Let's Play Winter" was the first commercially available single from Hitomi. Produced by the then-popular music producer Tetsuya Komuro and Cozy Kubo, it surprisingly did not chart on the Oricon.[http://www.oricon.co.jp/music/release/d/45981/1/ Let's Play Winter on Oricon] Hitomi was, at the time, among the first artists part of the flagship label Avex Trax, which was quickly signing other new artists, and this is most likely the reason for the single's failure to sell well. "Let's Play Winter" and the b-side "Pleasure" were written by Furuya and the a-side was used as the 1994 Nippon TV "Action! Snow Board" ending theme song.[Text on the front cover of "Let's Play Winter"]
Music video
The promotional video shows Hitomi in various, different colored rooms, wearing different outfits, such as a grey sweater or pink sequined tank top, and doing minimal activity, such as playing with her dog, lying in bed, and dancing. This video marked the first appearance of Furuya's trademark mini-skirt/high-heels combo and provocative image.
