Recommended for when you want to linger in the afterglow of heartbreak and slowly heal your heart.

It’s a mellow pop song that gently stays by your side even in the damp air and under overcast skies of the rainy season.
Created by the music duo Rikon Densetsu (Divorce Legend), it was released in April 2025.
It was chosen as the theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama “Taigan no Kaji — Kore ga, Watashi no Ikiru Michi!” and is also known for the tremendous response it received.
One of its charms lies in its lustrous vocals and a refined band sound that evokes elements of soul and city pop.
The song gently envelops the anxieties and wavering emotions we carry through everyday life and conveys a message that helps us notice the love close at hand.
This is a recommended number for a rainy afternoon—when you’re prone to melancholy—to listen to alone, slowly facing yourself.
water mirrorNEW!Cocco
Released in April 2000 as Cocco’s seventh single, Mizukagami (Water Mirror) is a pivotal song that symbolizes her early work.
It was also included on her June 2000 album Rapunzel and remains enduringly popular.
Like a gently rippling water surface, it portrays uncertain memories and the afterimages of love with a sound that is both delicate and heavy.
The lyrics overlay scenes of nature to express a sense of loss, perfectly matching the moist, lingering atmosphere of a rainy season.
The music video directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda beautifully visualizes this world.
When you want to linger in a tender melancholy, this song will stay close to your heart.

A gently moody piece of urban pop that conjures up rain-soaked cityscapes.
It’s a track by Nekomata Okayu from the female VTuber group hololive, included on the album “Personya ~ Respect,” released in May 2025.
The sound evokes neon-lit nights and humid air, perfectly matched with Nekomata Okayu’s calm, soft vocals.
It has a quiet addictiveness that draws you deeper the more you listen.
An ideal number for relaxing at home on a rainy night, soaking in its pleasant afterglow.

The track is by Haru Kaida, a member of the virtual liver group NIJISANJI, and is included on his second mini-album, WEATHER, released in April 2026.
It carries a positive, gentle message: even rainy days that tend to feel depressing can turn into a vividly sparkling world with just a small shift in perspective.
The piece blends a transparent, airy sound with a soft vocal, giving the impression that the haze in your heart clears away as you listen.

It’s included as the coupling track on their seventh single, Aishii, released in April 2026.
Lyrics by TATSUNE and music/arrangement by Kentaro Sonoda add gentle shading to the unit’s cool image.
The sound of a heartbeat hidden within the rain and the unclosed distance between two people are distilled into roughly three minutes.
Rather than an explosive outburst of emotion, this piece lets quiet, wavering feelings of love and gratitude seep through.
It’s the perfect song for the long rainy spell of the monsoon season, when you want to spend time alone at home and think softly of someone.

Beginning with a quiet intro, it holds emotions in a low register and then lets a sense of resolve seep through in the chorus—a dramatic arc that stirs the heart.
It carefully portrays the determination to keep looking forward even while being battered by the rain, and it’s sure to give you courage when you’re feeling lost or defeated.
The group-sung version is also included on their first album, “NAUTICAL STAR,” released in April.
It’s a recommended track for those who want to immerse themselves in its world on a calm, leisurely day.
