rainPetorōruzu

PETROLZ – Ame (Rain), Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall, October 10, 2015

This song is by Petrolz, a formidable three-piece band formed by members who had supported various acts in different settings.

Their sound is striking for its blend of a nostalgic feel with cutting-edge elements, incorporating influences from Black music.

Coupled with the music’s floating, weightless quality, the lyrics’ bittersweet worldview comes across as almost unreal.

Precisely because the band’s lineup is so simple, it feels like each member’s technique is being brought to its fullest potential.

JuneYuga

Yuga – June

A song by singer-songwriter Yuga, released in 2019.

Its leisurely unfolding sound and deep, layered vocals create a curious sense of weightless drift with a touch of eeriness.

The keyboard tones, which chime in like accents, seem to evoke rain falling in an irregular rhythm.

The lyrics’ mysterious worldview is striking as well, conveying the dimness and melancholy of twilight and a sense of emotional instability—it’s a track that draws you into its world as you listen.

Rain OtoRADWIMPS

Amaotoko

With its graceful band sound, “Amaotoko” is a track from RADWIMPS’ 2009 album “Altcolony no Teiri.” It’s pronounced “ama-otoko.” The smoothness unique to English lyrics—showcasing Yojiro Noda’s command of the language—is soothing, and the guitar tones, reminiscent of flowing rain, are captivating.

The song depicts a pure, lovestruck heart by likening oneself to an umbrella, making it perfect for a leisurely listen on a rainy day.

Try listening to it while layering it over your own story of love.
