Rain-Waiting WindSukima Suichi
“Amai Machikaze,” Sukima Switch’s sixth single, released in 2005.
As the title includes “rain,” it’s a ballad that sings of a very tender, sorrowful love.
The piano melody powerfully heightens the sadness and poignancy, drawing you ever deeper into those aching emotions.
It’s a song packed with regret and unresolved feelings; for anyone who shares those emotions—who has an unforgettable love they still regret—it’s a number that will bring you to tears.
SQUALLHimuro Kyosuke
Kyosuke Himuro, who debuted as the vocalist of the rock band BOØWY and became a huge sensation.
This song is his 13th single released as a solo artist in 1996, after the band broke up.
But… after watching the music video, I couldn’t help thinking that Kyosuke Himuro might be the only person who can pull off a jacket with nothing underneath.
I don’t have an umbrella.Inoue Yosui
“I Have No Umbrella” is a single by Yosui Inoue, released on July 1, 1972.
It’s a dramatic folk song whose fragmentary story—going to a lover in the rain because there’s no umbrella—strikes an emotional chord.
In 2008, a music video was released featuring Joe Odagiri portraying a young Yosui Inoue, which drew considerable attention.
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.
It was a very lovely June.Eight
In Eight’s work, the song “It Was a Very Lovely June,” included on the album Cobalt-Blue Daydream.
It’s a renowned Vocaloid track often called a ‘god-tier song,’ praised by fans for its addictive quality that makes you want to replay it over and over.
Although the lyrics don’t use any explicit words that evoke June, the song perfectly matches the slight chill of the season and the gloomy mood of the rainy season.
If you’re looking for a Vocaloid track to listen to in June, why not give it a try? It seems some people make a point of listening to it every June!
The Last RainYasushi Nakanishi
This is a signature song by Yasushi Nakanishi, a singer from Nara Prefecture.
It tells of a bittersweet breakup with a lover.
The song has a mature feel that evokes a rainy night in the city.
His clear, soaring high notes are truly wonderful.
