Songs to Listen to in June: Selected Rain-Themed Tracks and Father’s Day Classics [2026] (51–60)
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.
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.
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!
ifNishino Kana
The love song “if,” which begins with a heartrending piano melody, was released as a single in 2010.
It’s a bittersweet track packed with the charm of Kana Nishino’s early days, and its lyrics—evoking a long-distance relationship—may resonate even more deeply in June, when the frequent rain heightens feelings of loneliness.
The grandeur brought by the choir further amplifies the earnest, straightforward emotion of the song.
And speaking of June, it’s also wedding season.
With its theme of “fated encounters” matching perfectly with a wish for eternity, this song is highly recommended for wedding playlists.

rainbowAqua Timez
The sixth single by the five-member rock band Aqua Timez, which was chosen as the theme song for the TV drama Gokusen.
With a structure that kicks off right from the chorus, the song instantly pumps the energy to the max.
Like a rainbow appearing after the rain, its powerful message that “hard times don’t last forever” might blow away the gloomy mood that often comes with the rainy season in June.
Not only is it well-known thanks to the drama tie-in, but its bright, exhilarating sound could help clear away the doldrums of this time of year.
JuneKOTORI
KOTORI’s “June” is a June-themed track I highly recommend to fans of Japanese rock.
The lyrics portray a June spent still thinking about a lover you broke up with in spring.
The emotional vocals over a laid-back tempo really tug at the heartstrings.
The raw, slightly rough-around-the-edges playing—so characteristic of rock—also adds to its charm.
If you’ve had a similar experience to what the lyrics describe, this is a must-check!
Poem of Hydrangeassadamasashi
Hydrangea Poem is a song written by Masashi Sada, one of Japan’s leading singer-songwriters, during his Grape era.
In the TV drama Chanpon Tabetaka, adapted from Sada’s semi-autobiographical novel, actor Masaki Suda, who plays the protagonist, performed the song.
The lyrics about Sada’s hometown of Nagasaki, paired with the visuals, evoke a deeply nostalgic feeling.
