Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

This song, with its deeply emotive vocals and beautiful sound that permeate the heart, portrays a protagonist who keeps living earnestly despite inner conflict.

It likens the frustration of things not going as hoped to rain, yet sings of a subtle, forward-looking acceptance—embracing getting wet because, in other words, it means a seed will one day sprout.

Ikkyu Nakajima’s steadfast voice intertwines with Takashi Niigaki’s flowing piano, and before you know it, you’re drawn straight into the world of the song.

Included on the mini-album “Jenny High,” released in October 2018, this piece later became the theme song for the drama “Tokyo, Love or Something Like It.” On a rainy night, if you listen while lost in thought, it might pierce your heart deeply.
