Official HIGE DANDism – Cry Baby [Official Video]

Official HIGE DANDism’s “Cry Baby” portrays someone fighting with their pride on the line in the pouring rain.

Released in 2021, the song was used as the opening theme for the anime Tokyo Revengers.

As rain falls—along with the singer’s own tears—the lyrics throb with the determination of “I don’t want to lose” and “I want to be strong.” The imagery of constant rain throughout the song makes it a perfect fit for June’s rainy season.

Don’t let the gloomy June showers get you down—belt it out at karaoke and blow those blues away!

The group’s global musicality is fully on display here, captivating listeners with expressiveness that transcends borders and language barriers.

Kyannai – Hydrangea [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

A work that sings of a fleeting yet beautiful end to love, as if dissolving into the June rain.

“Ajisai” (Hydrangea) by Kyannai is the fifth digital single, released on May 11, 2022.

By contrasting hydrangeas—whose flower language includes “infidelity”—with cherry blossoms, which symbolize “purity,” it symbolically portrays the transient passion of romance, its conclusion, and the shift toward new love.

Rather than lamenting the end of love, it conveys an attitude of accepting it as a part of life.

It’s a heart-piercing song you’ll want to listen to on a wistful rainy day.

The cool vocals and melody, coupled with the wistfulness of the lyrics, will make many listeners want to keep it on repeat.

While the tempo is relaxed, the distinctive melody makes it a fun pop tune to sing at karaoke.

Ringo Sheena – Supreme Life

Singer-songwriter Ringo Sheena, also known as the frontwoman of Tokyo Jihen, has remained at the forefront of the J-POP scene since her debut with her one-of-a-kind voice and musicality.

Her 15th single, Supreme Life, written as the theme song for the TV drama “My Husband’s Wife,” leaves a strong impression with its contrast between a languid vocal delivery and guitar phrasing.

The lyrics evoke a forbidden love, likely to stir hearts that tend to grow sentimental in June.

It’s an emotional number with a passionate melody that feels good to sing.
