MeguriKALMA
A song by KALMA, a three-piece band from Hokkaido, included on their album Millennium Hero.
Its greatest appeal lies in a straightforward, refreshing sound that makes the most of the simple band setup.
The lyrics, which seem to express pure joy, are also striking, depicting deep love for people and one’s hometown, as well as the happiness of living each day.
It’s a bright, uplifting track that conveys a ray of hope piercing the heart—like a glimpse of clear sky breaking through during the long, overcast rainy season.
No way I’m going to cry.ikimonogakari
This is a 2009 song selected as the theme for the film “Nakumonka.” Centered on the theme of tears, it sings of uncertainty and an unclear future, and it also feels like the brooding emotions link with the uniquely melancholic mood of rain.
Ikimonogakari’s signature simple, straightforward message gently seeps in, and when you listen to it when you’re tired, it might bring you to tears.
Rainy days can make you feel down, but “Nakumonka” reminds you of a warmth that can greatly save you with just a small heartwarming moment.
It will surely ease not only the hardships of everyday life, but also the languor of June.
rainbowFukuyama Masaharu
One of Masaharu Fukuyama’s signature songs, which ranked second on Oricon’s 2003 year-end chart.
Although it gives off a very fresh vibe—having been used in Pocari Sweat commercials and as the theme song for the drama “WATER BOYS”—it also carries an atmosphere that feels especially nostalgic during the rainy season when you’re eagerly awaiting summer.
The monochrome aesthetic of the music video, along with the chorus that feels like it’s breaking through the present toward a bright summer, seems to fit perfectly with the month of June.
Fukuyama’s breezy presence and the crisp, catchy sound feel like they could summon cheerful, sun-drenched weather.
Song of HydrangeasHarayuko
Ajisai no Uta is Haru Yoko’s sixth single.
It was released on August 21, 1987, and was reissued in 1993 and 1998.
It served as the theme song for the film BU•SU and was also used in a commercial for Daihatsu Motor’s Daihatsu Leeza.
It’s a gentle singing voice that you want to listen to every June.
Haru Yoko is a member of Southern All Stars, and her husband is Keisuke Kuwata.
Brilliant RainKing Gnu
It’s a song whose musicality and message seep into your heart, as if rain were pouring down in brilliant torrents.
Released by King Gnu in July 2022, the track paints a grand sonic landscape where violins, cellos, organs, and female chorus weave together with a noisy guitar sound.
Written as the theme for TBS’s Sunday drama “Old Rookie” and included on the album “Stardom,” this piece is one you’ll want to listen to when facing turning points in life, a song that stays close to the listener’s heart.
It’s especially fitting for the rainy season.
JuneSuga Shikao
Not a refreshing rain, but a song that lets you feel the humidity itself: “June.” This track is included on Shikao Suga’s sixth album, TIME, released in 2004.
It was also used in a Sekisui House “Sha Maison” commercial.
The title “June” refers to the sixth month—right in the middle of Japan’s rainy season.
The song is filled with that dreary, oppressive feeling of the monsoon and the kind of brooding thoughts it brings, making it a very relatable and realistic rain-themed track.
In the night sky after the rainRC sakuseshon
In June, when the air is damp with rain, the song that I want to listen to is “Ameagari no Yozora ni.” Accompanied by the raindrops that color the rainy season, it’s a track that lingers in your ears and lets you spend a relaxed moment.
Kiyoshiro Imawano’s one-of-a-kind voice, which resonates in the heart, gives listeners a deep sense of emotion.
The lyrics evoke a refreshing night sky, and the lively melody is sure to get everyone going at karaoke.
Definitely give it a try!
