Light Blue RainYagami Junko
Singer-songwriter Junko Yagami, who also performs under the name June Stanley, became the first Japanese recipient of the Women Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2022.
Her fifth single, Mizuiro no Ame (Pale Blue Rain), covered by numerous musicians, is known as her signature hit.
Its clear, translucent melody and wistful lyrics are perfect for the emotionally tinged month of June.
It’s also a great pick for karaoke, but since it demands fairly high notes, be sure to adjust the key to suit your voice.
Rainy MidosujiŌyō Fifi
This song was the debut single of Fifi Ouyang, released in 1971, and it was composed by The Ventures, who sparked an electric guitar boom among Japanese youth.
Speaking of songs composed by The Ventures, Yuko Nagisa’s “Kyoto Bojo (Longing for Kyoto)” is also famous.
The poignant lyrics describe a woman, on a rainy night, wandering up and down Osaka’s main street, Midosuji—walking from Kita to Minami without even an umbrella—in search of her lover.
Through Fifi Ouyang’s dynamic vocals, you can sense the resolve of a woman determined to face forward and live strongly from now on.
RainHata Motohiro
Here is a romantic song themed around rain: “Rain.” It’s sung by singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata.
Hata’s gentle voice is as soothing as a light mist.
“Rain” was originally released in 1988 by singer-songwriter Senri Oe.
It has since become a classic, covered by artists such as Noriyuki Makihara and Motohiro Hata.
The version introduced here by Motohiro Hata was used as the theme song for the animated film The Garden of Words.
It’s a song that turns rainy days—so often gloomy—into something dramatic.
The Day the Rainbow DisappearedHata Motohiro
Hata Motohiro’s “The Day the Rainbow Disappeared” lets you feel the hopeful rainbow beyond the rain.
Released in 2008, the song was used as the theme for the film “Tsukiji Uogashi Sandaime” and as the ending theme for the summer high school baseball program “Netto Koshien.” Its lyrics portray a story of setting out once more to pursue a light of hope that once vanished.
A rainbow hidden by the rain may appear again when the rain stops.
Hold onto that hope and sing with a fresh, uplifting feeling!
Bring the Rain to Quench the ThirstMinami
This song is one of the signature tracks by the rising singer-songwriter Minami.
She’s known for her wide expressive range—from clear, delicate high notes to powerful, gritty shouts—and you can really feel that brilliance come alive in the chorus of this track.
The lyrics paint vivid images of rain, adding depth to the emotions woven into the song.
While the words capture subtle, delicate feelings, the overall sound is rooted in guitar rock, making it a great recommendation when you want to sing a rain-themed song that’s catchy and refreshing.
Sunny DayFujihara Sakura
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.
