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.[3] 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.[4]

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.
