In rainy June, I imagine many people feel like listening to a moving ballad.
Mr.Children’s “Hanatareru” is the perfect song for that mood.
It isn’t one of their most famous tracks, but among Mr.Children fans it’s cherished as a hidden gem.
Its exquisitely beautiful sound pairs with stirring lyrics, and it’s sure to lift your rain-dampened spirits.
without liesmakaroni enpitsu
This song “Usanaki,” included on Macaroni Empitsu’s second album “hope” released in 2020, is a tender, sorrowful love song performed as a solo vocal-and-guitar piece.
In the lyrics, there’s a section that sings about the June rainy season, vividly evoking the rain and a surge of emotion—just the kind of pivotal moment you’d find in a drama or novel.
The stripped-down, singer-songwriter style suits the rain and sadness perfectly, making the feelings come through clearly and fit the song beautifully.
Wedding SongSaitō Kazuyoshi
June is synonymous with June brides.
As you can tell from the title “Wedding Song,” it’s a perfect track for weddings.
It was originally composed only with the chorus as a commercial jingle, but due to requests from viewers and fans, it was completed from beginning to end.
sound of rainHoshino Gen
A gem of a pop tune by Gen Hoshino that delicately captures the feelings of a rainy day.
With a minimal yet meticulously crafted arrangement, the harmonies woven by piano, percussion, and refined guitar tones beautifully portray the moist, subdued scenery of rain.
Included on the October 2016 single “Koi,” this track captivates with an introspective tone distinct from the title song.
It’s a piece you’ll want to listen to quietly by the window during the rainy season, as you listen to the sound of the rain.
It will gently keep you company even when you’re feeling down.
ForgivenessSANTA
Starting with a gentle piano and unfolding into a grand soundscape, this song explores the theme of “forgiveness” in modern society.
SANTA’s delicate vocals and expressive delivery are striking—sometimes tender, sometimes powerful—resonating like the June rainy season sky.
Produced in December 2024 as the theme song for a film of the same title, with lyrics co-written by SANTA, the work is a bold piece filled with the artist’s heartfelt intent.
The melody and lyrics, crafted to accompany the story of the film “Forgiveness: The Wiseman’s Solitude,” are perfect for moments of contemplation during the rainy season.
It’s a song that quietly stays by your side when your heart feels heavy or when you need the courage to forgive someone.
When the rain fillsHiguchi Ai
This is the theme song by Ai Higuchi, beautifully balancing a poignant rainy scene with a dramatic sense of storytelling.
Her transparent vocals and the piano’s melody leave a strong impression, making it a perfect track for the rainy season.
Released on January 15, 2025, it serves as the theme for TBS’s Drama Stream series “I’ll Take You to the Ends of Hell,” skillfully conveying the revenge-centered narrative through music.
A key appeal of this work lies in the combination of carefully crafted, emotionally expressive lyrics and a richly nuanced alto voice.
While the melody keeps a modest range, its dramatic progression is captivating—recommended for those who want to sing about the feelings that come with rainy days.
Precisely because the rainy season can dampen the mood, why not share a voice that resonates with the heart?
Jingle Bells in JuneSutaadasuto Rebyuu
Stardust Revue’s eighth single, “Jingle Bells in June,” was released on March 25, 1986.
Its upbeat sound and lyrics—brimming with the exuberance of Japan’s economic bubble at its peak—make it a thoroughly feel-good love song.
Give it a listen when you want to lift your spirits!
