Rain, a ballad with a memorable acoustic guitar intro, is a track from Kumi Koda’s 2004 album feel my mind.
The slightly exotic sound really feels like her style, doesn’t it? According to Koda, the song depicts the growing distance between her and her boyfriend at the time.
It poignantly recounts rain-related memories from when they were still close.
There’s also an unplugged version included on her 2006 single No Regret, so be sure to give it a listen!

Against the backdrop of Hokuriku’s landscapes, Etsuko Shimazu’s voice gently envelops the sorrow of a lost love like a benevolent rain.
Beginning with an image of foam petals dancing down the waves, the song gives voice to regret and emptiness.
The lyrics weave in place names from Hokuriku—Toyama, Kanazawa—and describe the sound of rain beating on rooftops as if it were crying, conveying a profound sadness.
Released in January 2024 as Shimazu’s 60th single, the song was first performed at a dinner show in Kanazawa in December 2023, captivating her fans.
It is a song that stays close to those troubled by love and sheds tears alongside them.

With sounds woven into the intro, it draws you even deeper into a rainy world—a heartrending love song.
When you go through a breakup, you feel like you want to erase your memories, don’t you? Those bottled-up emotions suddenly resurface, syncing with the passing shower.
The contrast between the warm soundscape and Lila Ikuta’s delicate vocals tightens your chest.
