Over the rainflumpool
flumpool’s second digital-only single, released on November 5, 2008.
A slow-tempo track with a beautiful chorus melody that sings, “Once the rain stops, a rainbow will appear, so let’s believe in our dreams and keep walking toward the future.” Perfect for when you want to feel positive.
Tokyokinoko teikoku
On rainy days, I get that inexplicable urge to call the person I can’t see, too…
There are so many songs about Tokyo that there’s even a compilation album called “Tokyo Compi.” Maybe it’s because Tokyo is a city with all kinds of people, and everyone has their own version of Tokyo.
cold rainMiho Karasawa
The sorrowful tone from the intro is very striking.
However, the lyrics are positive—it feels like they’re saying that even sorrow will be washed away by the rain, and that once this rain passes, everything will feel refreshed.
It’s a song that really makes you want to try your best and overcome things.
RainHata Motohiro
For those wistful rainy-day moods, I recommend Motohiro Hata’s “Rain”! The song was originally by Senri Oe and was a hidden favorite passed down among fans.
Hata covered it for use as the ending theme of the 2013 animated film “The Garden of Words.” His version has a distinct flavor compared to Oe’s original.
The lyrics, which sing of a heart swaying uncertainly in the rain, are perfect for a rainy day—so give it a listen!
autumn rainsonā poketto
Sonar Pocket, known for love songs that resonate with many, released a piece in November 2022 that is a lyrical track conjuring vivid scenes of autumn rain.
While their straightforward, heartfelt lyrics are one of their trademarks, this work, with newly written lyrics by Saint Vega, ventures into a fresh mode of expression that paints landscapes through skillful Japanese rhymes.
The sound, evocative of rain-soaked streets and slightly chilly air, further highlights the poignancy of the story.
Many listeners will likely find their hearts moved as they overlay their own experiences onto the song’s wistful reflections on days gone by.
On a chilly autumn night, listening alone in quiet contemplation, it sinks deeply into your heart.
Love’s Melody and Rainy SkiesAAA
The 38th single by AAA, a six-member Japanese co-ed music group, released on September 4, 2013.
It is included on the album Eighth Wonder.
A medium-tempo, bittersweet love song that conveys wavering feelings straight from the heart, entrusted to the early autumn rainy sky.
RAINGLAY
This is GLAY’s first single, released in 1994.
It reportedly sold over 100,000 copies.
It’s included on the album “SPEED POP.” The song was used as the first ending theme for the TV anime “Yamato Takeru.” It features very gentle vocals and a calm tempo.
