Rainy Amusement Park

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

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.

Every Little Thing / Cold Rain

If you’re in the mood to cry on a rainy day, I recommend “Tsumetai Ame” by Every Little Thing! Debuting in 1996, Every Little Thing is a musical duo known for heartbreaking breakup songs and tearjerkers.

“Tsumetai Ame,” released as a single in 2009, carried the catchphrase “the most tear-jerking song of this winter.” Kaori Mochida’s vocals poignantly express a woman’s feelings as she loves someone even knowing the love won’t be returned.
