Nagoriyuki (なごり雪, lit.'remaining snow') is a song by Japanese folk group Kaguyahime [ja] from their album Sankaidate no Uta [ja] (1974).[1]

Monument at Tsukumi Station

A cover by Iruka [ja] released as a single in 1975 became her most successful track,[1] and Nagoriyuki has since been covered by a lengthy list of other artists (see ja:なごり雪#その他のカバー). It is used as a jingle for Tsukumi Station; Shōzō Ise [ja], the composer, hails from Tsukumi.[2] A 2002 movie directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi uses the song as a central theme,[3][2] and Iruka recorded a Korean rendition for the 2003 movie Chirusoku no Natsu.
