Longing for RainYashiro Aki
Aki Yashiro is an enka singer beloved not only by older listeners but also by younger generations.
She’s known for hits like “Funauta,” “Namida Koi,” and “Onna Minato-machi,” but we mustn’t forget “Ame no Bojō,” a rain-themed classic that’s perfect for June.
Her rich, heartrending voice really sinks into the soul, and the chorus has an incredibly familiar, catchy melody.
That’s exactly why it’s a great pick even if you only vaguely remember the lyrics—you’ll still find it easy to sing through to the end.
juiceNatsu to suisei
Remembering a parting with someone who should have been precious, brought back by the sight of rain.
This song was released under the solo project Natsu to Suisei by singer-songwriter Takaaki Natsushiro, who is also active as a Vocaloid producer.
While the arrangement isn’t particularly somber, what comes through are emotions like resignation and sadness.
It seems there’s something the protagonist just can’t forget, still lingering in their heart.
It’s the perfect track to sink into when you’re in a melancholy mood.
Over the rainflumpool
Evoking a gentle, soaking rain, flumpool’s song “Over the rain” wraps the listener in a tender embrace with a melody that seems to turn June’s humid air into sound.
As the song progresses, the lyrics—depicting the freshness and hope that follow a rain—resonate pleasantly in the ear.
It’s as if the wind parts the clouds and carries in a breath of crisp air.
In the rainy season, when it’s easy to grow sentimental, try spending a leisurely moment by the window as the rain falls, listening to “Over the rain.”
The Last RainKōda Kumi
Singer Kumi Koda, who pioneered a one-of-a-kind “sexy-cool” style and is counted as one of the songstresses of the Heisei era.
“Saigo no Ame,” included as the B-side to her 9th single “Gentle Words,” is known as a cover of Yasushi Nakanishi’s long-running hit.
The sentimental lyrics depicting heartbreak may reveal a different landscape when sung from a woman’s perspective.
As a famous song that almost everyone has heard at least once, it’s a sure-fire ballad to get the crowd going at karaoke during the rainy season—just like its title suggests.
Rain-Waiting WindSukima Suichi
A nostalgic ballad that wishes for the rain to wash away heartaching memories.
It’s a work by the musical duo Sukima Switch, released as a single in 2005, and drew attention when it was used in a Calbee commercial.
Its acoustic performance wrapped in orchestral sound creates a striking sense of depth.
The arrangement really brings out vocalist Ohashi’s straightforward, heartfelt singing.
When you’re feeling consumed by loneliness, this song just might stay by your side.
