Noctiluca on Rainy Streets / Kenshi Yonezu [Cover]

“Night-glow Worms on Rainy Streets” was released on October 7, 2015, as part of the third original album, Bremen.

As the rain falls, the streetlights, neon signs, buildings, and car headlights all glitter, turning the city into something like a field of bioluminescent creatures, and the singer likens themselves and their lover to these night-glow worms.

It’s a romantic love song about the two of them walking through the night, feeling like they could go anywhere together.

Evoking a gentle, soaking rain, flumpool’s song “Over the rain” wraps the listener’s heart in a tender embrace with a melody that seems to turn June’s humid air into sound.

As the song progresses, the lyrics—painting the freshness and hope that follow a rainfall—resonate pleasantly in your ears.

It’s as if the wind slices through the clouds, carrying in crisp, clean air.

In this season that can make us a bit sentimental, try spending a leisurely moment by a rain-streaked window, listening to “Over the rain.”

I hope it’s sunny.DREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE – I Hope It’s Sunny (from DWL 2011 Live Ver.)

DREAMS COME TRUE’s “Haretara Ii Ne” is a song I especially want to listen to in June.

Its uplifting lyrics are filled with anticipation and hope for sunny days, turning gloomy skies into a brighter mood.

The arrangement feels like magic that clears away the clouds, and the refreshing melody gives your spirits a reset—perfect for days like Father’s Day when you’re thinking of family.

Warm and comforting, it’s a song that stays close to the listener’s heart and helps you relax even during the rainy season.

SoraaiEvery Little Thing

"Sora Ai" MUSIC VIDEO / Every Little Thing

That annoying overcast sky that looks like it might rain but doesn’t—and isn’t sunny either—often shows up during the rainy season, doesn’t it? On days like that, a single bright ray of light is Every Little Thing’s “Soraai.” Just as we hoped for clear skies, we had hopes for the future of the two of them, but the love fizzled out, left hanging in the middle.

Even so, the song conveys a desire to live positively, to pour the love gained from that experience into someone they’ll meet in the future.

It also carries a sense of hope that even days as dreary as an overcast sky are never meaningless.
