Rainy Moondōyō
This nursery rhyme, “Amefuri Otsukisan” (Rainy Moon), which likens the moon to a bride, is said to have two interpretations of its lyrics.
One theory is that the lyricist, Ujo Noguchi, wrote it to honor his wife, who took two days to travel by horse in the rain to marry him.
You can sense the customs of the era in which the song was created.
The other theory is that it was written about Noguchi’s daughter, who passed away at a young age—perhaps expressing a father’s feelings as he imagined his daughter coming of age and getting married.
Though the melody is sad, simply reading the lyrics is enough to make one’s heart ache.
Love’s Melody and Rainy SkiesAAA
In June, when the humidity of the rainy season begins to set in, AAA’s “Koion to Amazora” is the perfect song for the sentimental mood unique to rainy days.
It delicately captures the heartache of someone drifting away, and AAA’s harmonies deepen the song’s emotion.
The sound arrangement, which feels as if the sound of rain is woven into the track, is also striking.
Be sure to listen closely and let it sink in.
Two LipsEXILE
June, when you can sense the rainy season approaching.
It’s a time when we long for songs that gently soothe the heart amid the damp air.
EXILE’s “Futatsu no Kuchibiru” is the perfect track for this season.
Its gently flowing melody and comforting vocals wrap the listener’s emotions, like raindrops, in a soft embrace.
The blend of wistfulness and warmth woven into the song creates a space where time moves slowly, leaving the listener with a tender feeling.
If you’re searching for music to enjoy on a rainy day, this is unquestionably a gem I recommend.
COLORSGLAY
GLAY is a four-member rock band that set numerous milestones in the J-POP scene during the 1990s and continues to be highly active today.
COLORS, which was selected as the theme song for the film Final Fantasy XIV: Daddy of Light, is memorable for its lyrical string arrangements.
The song’s lyrics, depicting the relationship and emotional distance between father and child, may resonate as a feeling of gratitude you come to understand in adulthood.
It’s an emotional medium-tempo ballad perfect for June, when Father’s Day falls—one that invites you to reflect on your own life.
Nobody’s HomeONE OK ROCK
ONE OK ROCK is a four-piece rock band whose powerful vocals and edgy rock sound have earned strong support both in Japan and abroad.
“Nobody’s Home,” which closes their fourth album Niche Syndrome, is a straightforward rock tune that’s often played during live encores.
The lyrics, written by vocalist Taka as a message to his parents, Shinichi Mori and Masako Mori, tell a story that many listeners may find overlaps with their own lives.
It’s a song you’ll want to hear not only in June for Father’s Day but also in May for Mother’s Day—a number that will likely bring your parents’ faces to mind just by listening.

Amezing BluesT-junctions
The blues duo T-Jiros, comprising Taeko Ito and Tomohito Shinoda, wrote this song as the theme for Eiji Uchida’s work “If You Cry in the Rain.” Its distinctive blues sound and Taeko Ito’s weathered, deeply human vocals leave a strong impression.
The work itself is a drama set on a film set in the 1980s, and the song perfectly matches that world.
Despite the lyrics and sound being simple in structure, the song conveys a powerful sense of resolve, as if determined to push forward through adversity.
A Bouquet of Kisses in the RainImai Miki
When the rainy season begins, the song I find myself wanting to listen to is Miki Imai’s “Bouquet of Kisses in the Rain.” This track features a heartwarming melody and lyrics that beautifully color special rainy-day moments.
Its soul-soothing sound brings coolness and comfort amid the muggy days.
It also richly expresses a woman’s joyful happiness, lifting even the heaviest moods into something brighter.
Why not let the sound of the rain be your BGM and change your mood with this one song?
