[2026] Songs I Want to Sing at Karaoke in June: Classic Rain-Themed Songs and Other Masterpieces (41–50)
Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki
“Sayonara Elegy” beautifully captures the gloom and loneliness of June.
It’s a song by the hugely popular actor Masaki Suda and served as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama series “Kiss that Kills.” The song was written and composed by Huwie Ishizaki.
In the music video, Suda himself appears, and his rough, driving acoustic guitar seems to embody the murky feelings of the rainy season.
If this song resonates with you, why not try singing it at karaoke?
cherrysupittsu
A coming-of-age song named after a seasonal fruit.
Released in April 1996, this work sets the resolve to move forward after heartbreak to a fresh, vibrant melody.
With delicate word choice and a clear, translucent vocal, it beautifully balances sorrow and hope, making it one of Spitz’s finest masterpieces.
It’s a track you’ll want to hear from spring into early summer, carried by a refreshing breeze.
Whether you’re suffering from love or ready to take a step toward your dreams and hopes, this is a song you should definitely listen to.
RainySCANDAL
SCANDAL’s “Rainy,” released in 2014.
Songs about rain are often mellow and moody, but this one is an upbeat, catchy rock tune with that signature SCANDAL flair.
It’s packed with everything great about a girls’ band.
The rainy season can be damp, gloomy, and make your spirits dip, but let’s sing along to a positive, high-energy track like this and lift our mood all at once!
Rain-Waiting WindSukima Suichi
Skimama Switch’s “Amemachi Kaze,” with its wistful, aching melody, shines in the rainy season.
Released in 2005, the song is said to be based on “Natsugumo Noise,” which was created during their indie days.
Many people find the rainy tsuyu season dreary, but the protagonist of this song longs for the rain.
After a sorrowful breakup with a lover, they wish for the rain to wash away and erase all their swirling emotions.
When hearts are broken, many people probably feel, like this protagonist, that they want everything to just disappear.
If that’s you, why not let this song carry your cry and wash it away together with the monsoon rains?
When this rain stopsAdachi Kana feat. Takeuchi Yuuto
Born from a collaboration between singer-songwriter Kana Adachi and Yuito Takeuchi, this moving track layers the emotional bond of lovers over rainy scenes.
Released in September 2023, it was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Ao Haru Ride Season 1.” The lyrics convey both a deep affection for the other person and the frustration of not being able to put those feelings into words.
Still, the two are dreaming of a future after the rain.
Listen while gazing at the wet scenery, and it’s sure to bring back the flutter of first love.
It’s a lovely song that will make you want to walk through this season with someone special.
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.
COLORSGLAY
GLAY is a four-member rock band that set numerous milestones in the J-POP scene during the 1990s and continues to be highly active today.
COLORS, which was selected as the theme song for the film Final Fantasy XIV: Daddy of Light, is memorable for its lyrical string arrangements.
The song’s lyrics, depicting the relationship and emotional distance between father and child, may resonate as a feeling of gratitude you come to understand in adulthood.
It’s an emotional medium-tempo ballad perfect for June, when Father’s Day falls—one that invites you to reflect on your own life.
