Rainy Amusement Park

This is a ballad that poignantly depicts memories of a couple’s date at an amusement park and their bittersweet parting.

It weaves together contrasting scenes: a past moment of riding a carousel in the rain, and the present, where the narrator catches sight of a former lover with shorter hair, looking happy.

The lingering attachment the protagonist still feels, along with a quiet resolve to face forward and live on, gently presses on the heart.

A warm sound centered on acoustic guitar and piano highlights the story-rich lyrics.

Included on Sasuke’s album “Smile,” the piece was released in October 2004, reached No.

3 on the Oricon charts, sold over 450,000 copies, and was certified Platinum.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to on a rainy day, especially when you’re trying to heal the pain of a broken heart.

Together forever…GLAY

Together forever…

When you think of ballads, many of them have bittersweet themes, don’t they? Still, there are times when you want to listen to a song that warms your heart.

That’s why I’d like to introduce “Zutto Futari de.” It was GLAY’s first ballad released as a single.

There’s also a moving backstory: the song was written by the vocalist TERU for his older sister’s wedding.

As a result, it’s a piece that celebrates the beauty of love.

Why not give it a listen on a special day, like an anniversary or a wedding?
