A track that captures shifting emotions along with the view that opens up beyond the Shuto Expressway.

As the rain begins to fall, a subtle shadow creeps into their relationship.

That ambiguous sense of distance is strikingly conveyed through the clear vocals and urban pop sound.

Raindrops seen from the car window slipping between buildings, the cold, resonant patter of rain—such moments rise up like scenes from a film.

Perfect for a rainy-day drive, or whenever you want to sink into a slightly sentimental mood.

The Bride of SetoKoyanagi Rumiko

Seto no Hanayome by Rumiko Koyanagi (Showa 47 [1972])
The Bride of SetoKoyanagi Rumiko

Rumiko Koyanagi, who debuted with the 1971 smash hit “Watashi no Jōkamachi,” released a song the following year that earned her the Vocal Performance Award at the Japan Record Awards and the Grand Prize at the Japan Kayō Awards.

As a top graduate of the Takarazuka Music School, her singing ability is indeed remarkable.

This song is a quintessential Seto Inland Sea local tune, portraying the feelings of a young bride marrying into a family on a small island, the sentiments of the islanders, and the serene scenery of the Seto Inland Sea.

Even the Seto sunset seems to bless the couple as they become husband and wife, bringing the song to a close.

Hydrangea KaleidoscopeFlower

Hydrangea Kaleidoscope by Flower, which includes hydrangeas—flowers that bloom beautifully in blue and pink during the rainy season—in its title, was released in 2016 as the B-side to JUJU’s cover song “Yasashisa de Afureru You ni.” The lyrics describe how meeting and falling in love with someone made the world burst into vivid colors like hydrangeas and become as dazzling as a kaleidoscope.

Like hydrangeas made up of countless small blossoms, it’s a love-filled song that expresses the desire for the two of them to keep layering memories together forever.

Listening to it might make you want to see your lover even in the rain.
