The Rain and Meback number

This is a ballad that stays with you on nights when the pain of a finished love just won’t fade.

Instead of closing the curtain as a beautiful memory, it portrays the cruel reality of a dull, lingering ache through a weighty arrangement crafted in tandem with Seiji Kameda.

It resonates deeply with a lyrical melody, capturing the tangled feelings toward one’s hometown and the earnest resolve to face forward even while carrying the weight of everyday struggles.

After being included on the 2004 album “A la Mode,” the song was released as their sixth single in September 2005 and was also chosen as the ending theme for TV Kanagawa’s “saku saku.” It appears on classic albums such as “FAB FOX” as well.

Following the sudden passing of Masahiko Shimura, Tamio Okuda covered the song in a solo acoustic performance, famously singing it through tears.

This ambitious release reconstructed past classics with the lineup of that time, demonstrating an evolution that went beyond a simple re-recording.

This is a track included as the first song on their 21st original album, “miss you,” released in October 2023.

Stripped of glittering ornamentation, the sound—driven by the timbre of an acoustic guitar and the band’s breathing—creates a tension that tightens your chest every time you listen.

Although it isn’t tied to any specific TV drama or commercial, it’s deeply loved among fans as a key work that symbolizes the album’s worldview.

I recommend listening alone on a quiet night with headphones, savoring every word of the lyrics.
