[Rain Songs] Songs to listen to on rainy days. Rain song special (31–40)
Rain MelodyKinKi Kids
If you want to ignite a fiery passion on a rainy day, KinKi Kids’ “Ame no Melody” is highly recommended! Released in 1999 as KinKi Kids’ eighth single, the song debuted at No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart.
The tones of brass instruments and acoustic guitar create a subtly Latin atmosphere, resulting in a sound that makes you want to move your body.
Why not spend a rainy day feeling the burning passion of Latin music?
Warm RainTomita Rabo
If you want to spend a rainy day in style, I recommend Tomita Lab’s “Atatakai Ame” (“Warm Rain”)! Tomita Lab is a music producer and composer-arranger, best known for producing MISIA’s “Everything.” “Atatakai Ame” was created with Mamalaid Rag’s Hirokuni Tanaka as a guest.
True to Tomita’s influences from Steely Dan and David Foster, it’s a sophisticated and stylish track.
Try listening to it in the rain with a glass of wine in hand!
Rain of jewelsPerfume
A coupling track from the 2017 single “TOKYO GIRL.” It was used as the commercial song for the “Ora2 × Perfume Mouth Beauty Project.” Perfume is a three-member music unit from Hiroshima Prefecture that debuted in 2002.
The song features an uptempo, evolving rhythm and a signature style with techno sounds pushed to the forefront.
I think the vocals’ impassive, almost emotion-suppressed tone matches the sound perfectly.
Weather ReportBUMP OF CHICKEN
Even this pesky rain can feel refreshing with BUMP OF CHICKEN’s melody.
This song, included on the album “COSMONAUT,” was used for the weather segment of the infotainment show “Shogeki LIVE Goody!” It expresses a desire to help those who hide their sorrow beneath umbrellas and smiles.
Rain, umbrellas, and even people’s expressions can make it hard to see what’s in their hearts, can’t they? But listening to this BUMP track can clear away those hidden sorrows a bit—like the sun that comes out after the rain.
A midsummer passing showerUtada Hikaru
This is Hikaru Utada’s fifth digital-only single.
It was released simultaneously with “Hanataba wo Kimi ni.” It was chosen as the theme song for NTV’s NEWS ZERO.
It’s the kind of song you’ll want to listen to when you feel like soaking in the gentle, wistful mood of a rainy day.

After The RainKj from DRAGON ASH×Leyona
A collaboration track by Kenji Furuya (aka kj) from Dragon Ash and female vocalist Leyona, released on May 22, 2013.
Above all, the rap is super cool! It’s a slow-tempo, feel-good song you’ll want to enjoy with friends in the park.
Sky Blue Townsupittsu
It’s Spitz’s 27th single.
It was released in 2002.
The lyrics and music are by Masamune Kusano, and the arrangement is by Spitz and Seiji Kameda.
It’s included on the album Mikazuki Rock.
It’s very pleasant to listen to and gives you the feeling of wandering into a mysterious world.
