Memories are beautifulAimer
Singer-songwriter Aimer is known for her distinctive smoky voice and powerful expressiveness.
Her 15th single, “Omoi de wa Kirei de,” released as a triple A-side along with “Black Bird” and “Tiny Dancers,” is also included on her fifth album, “Penny Rain,” which was created around the theme of rain.
The lyrics tell a story of memories with her father, making it a perfect song for June, when Father’s Day takes place.
With an ensemble featuring strings and a wistful vocal that resonates deeply, it’s an emotional number.
Osaka Rainy BluesSUPER EIGHT
A blues ballad by SUPER EIGHT that exudes the distinct sentimentality and wistfulness of Kansai.
Against the backdrop of a bustling Osaka under the rainy season skies, the song weaves a tale of bittersweet love in Kansai dialect.
Released in March 2005 as their second single, it debuted at No.
3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and was performed on numerous music programs, including Kansai TV and Yomiuri TV.
It’s a classic whose aching tenderness seeps into your heart—one that makes you suddenly recall a past love on a rainy day.
The Rain and Meback number
A beloved song by back number that wraps the pain of heartbreak—depicted alongside a poignant rainy scene—in a beautiful melodic line.
With delicate expressions, it weaves together fragments of memories recalled while getting soaked in the rain, making for a deeply moving track.
Included on the album “Superstar,” released in April 2011, it captured the hearts of many listeners as their major-label debut work.
This piece resonates even more when listened to during the rainy season.
It’s a soothing song that stays close to the feeling of trying to move forward while carrying the pain of a broken heart.
Rain and CappuccinoYorushika
A gem of a ballad perfect for the rainy season, imbued with the sound of rain and the aroma of a café.
Included on the album “Elma,” released in August 2019, it strikingly portrays the fictional character Elma as she lives on, carrying the pain of losing her beloved while holding precious memories close to her heart.
It’s a key track that established the world of Yorushika’s album “Elma,” and it beautifully depicts the scenery of Visby, Sweden, which Elma visits in the story.
Highly recommended for those who want to empathize with the feeling of cherishing someone dear, or for anyone who wants to enjoy music gently on a rainy day.
ForgivenessSANTA
Starting with a gentle piano and unfolding into a grand soundscape, this song explores the theme of “forgiveness” in modern society.
SANTA’s delicate vocals and expressive delivery are striking—sometimes tender, sometimes powerful—resonating like the June rainy season sky.
Produced in December 2024 as the theme song for a film of the same title, with lyrics co-written by SANTA, the work is a bold piece filled with the artist’s heartfelt intent.
The melody and lyrics, crafted to accompany the story of the film “Forgiveness: The Wiseman’s Solitude,” are perfect for moments of contemplation during the rainy season.
It’s a song that quietly stays by your side when your heart feels heavy or when you need the courage to forgive someone.

Singer-songwriter Sakura Fujiwara captivates fans with her smoky vocals and the soft sound of fingerpicked classical guitar.
“Sunny Day,” included on her second EP, green, is a song many will relate to—a lyrical story about waiting for the sun during the rainy month of June.
Its bluesy ensemble adds color to a season when it’s easy to feel sentimental.
The overall key sits low, making it easy to sing at karaoke, and if you pour your feelings into it, it’s a number that lets you sink into your own world.
Weather ReportBUMP OF CHICKEN
This song is included on BUMP OF CHICKEN’s 2010 album COSMONAUT.
“Weather Report” literally means weather forecast in Japanese.
It captures rainy days and a somewhat overcast heart—the heavy feelings of worrying about someone and about yourself—through a rock tune that’s quintessentially BUMP.
June often brings to mind the rainy season, but did you know June 1 is also Meteorological Memorial Day in Japan? This is a track I recommend for a day like that: it paints the scene after the rain with freshness and clarity, and by the time it’s over, it gives you the strength to face forward.
