Rainy love songs. Perfect love songs for a rainy day (71–80)
April Rainaiko
The song that sings about how, no matter how many years pass, you can still recall the pain as if it were just yesterday is Aiko’s “April no Ame” (“April Rain”).
Released in 2013 to commemorate the 15th anniversary of her debut, the single reached No.
2 on the Oricon Singles Chart.
It was also used in a contact lens commercial.
The song portrays a couple at a crossroads in April, a season of meetings and partings, who walk separate paths yet spend the same time together.
It’s also said that “April Rain” is a love song from Aiko to her fans.
I fell in loveaiko
Since her debut in 1998, aiko has been popular as one of the voices who speak for women in love.
“Koi o Shita no wa,” released in 2016, was chosen as the theme song for the film A Silent Voice.
It’s a very gentle song you’ll want to listen to on a lonely rainy day.
When you feel loneliness that makes you want to cry, or when you lose sight of the path you should take, it’s as if the song reminds you of the bright sunshine after the rain.
Her soft, warm voice soothes your restless heart on a rainy day.
The Rain and Meback number
Back Number’s “Ame to Boku no Hanashi” captures the raw pain that hits right after a breakup.
It’s a track from their 2019 album MAGIC, which hit No.
1 on both the Billboard Japan and Oricon charts.
Known for their highly relatable love songs, the band crafted this breakup song around the theme of rain.
The heartbreak the protagonist feels is something most of us have experienced at least once.
If you’ve just gone through a breakup, I recommend giving “Ame to Boku no Hanashi” a listen.
Heart Rainindigo la End
Kawatani Enon’s rock band indigo la End released the single “Shin’u” in 2016.
It was also included on the album Aiiro Music released the same year and was used as the commercial song for GREE’s smartphone game Shoumetsu Toshi.
The lyrics, which tell a heartrending, fragile story of two people whose feelings have drifted apart and are heading toward a breakup, are painful to listen to.
In 2020, to commemorate the band’s 10th anniversary, the music video for “Shin’u” was released on YouTube.
Akasaka Rainy Nighthayabusa
Set against the rain-soaked nightscape of Akasaka, this song tells a poignant story of heartbreak.
Released by Hayabusa in February 2024, it was composed by mood kayō master Masayoshi Tsuruoka.
The lyrics trace the feelings of a woman who has gone through a breakup, with the recurring motif of rain leaving a strong impression.
You can picture her walking alone through Akasaka at night, still carrying the sense of loss after losing someone precious.
This is Hayabusa’s second single since moving to Crown Records, and it stands as a symbol of their new beginning.
It’s a perfect track for anyone troubled by love and secretly yearning for someone deep in their heart.
Whimsical Drizzlemaruri to ryūga
Kimagure na Shigure is the memorable first song marking the major-label debut of MaruritoRyuga, a male-female twin-vocal duo consisting of MaRuRi and Ryuga.
Climbing high on the LINE MUSIC and iTunes charts, its popularity drew reactions like “They’re far from your typical newcomers!” The back-and-forth vocals by MaRuRi and Ryuga carry a distinctly modern, colloquial feel, as if real words between a man and a woman naturally ride the melody.
It’s a track that makes you want to side with the heartbroken male perspective—how did it sound to you?
Summer RainKobukuro
A love song by Kobukuro used as the opening theme for the anime Cross Game, based on Mitsuru Adachi’s work, depicting summer rain and feelings for someone you love.
When it comes to Mitsuru Adachi’s stories, the image of baseball and love triangles is strong.
This song also contains depictions that evoke a love triangle between a man and a woman.
Watching the person you love quietly as they’re thinking about someone else while the rain falls—just how heartbreaking must that be…? Though the lyrics have poignant moments, the sound is very summery and uplifting.
It’s perfect for summer karaoke!
