This is a chill-out number that carries that kind of moist, atmospheric vibe.

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.

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.”

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.
