Mrs. GREEN APPLE – umbrella【LIVE from “Atlantis”】

Amid an unending rain of sorrow, a powerless feeling like standing motionless without an umbrella.

Even so, it is a song that portrays a painfully selfless love, swearing to become the “umbrella” oneself to protect a loved one.

The track was included on the 2016 single “Samama Festival!” and was later featured on the 2017 album “Mrs.

GREEN APPLE.” Written by vocalist Motoki Omori during his high school years and released after parting with someone close, its background deepens the work’s sense of urgency.

When your heart is shrouded in deep sadness, listening to it will remind you that feelings for someone can be a source of salvation.

JUJU “Sakura Ame” (Cherry Blossom Rain)

Sakuraame is JUJU’s 12th single, released in 2010.

It was issued as her first quadruple A-side single and was used as the opening theme for TBS’s COUNT DOWN TV as well as in corporate commercials for RecoChoku.

In the song, “rain” plays various roles: it hides tears, washes away memories of the two of them, and is described in a very poetic way.

Spring, when the cherry blossoms bloom, is a season of meetings and farewells.

Rain that falls in such a season seems to accentuate the poignancy of parting.
