Rain

Continuing to suppress the emotions lying deep within the heart, left helplessly drenched in the rain.

While feigning gentle connections with others, the intensity inside cannot be contained.

This is the quietly infused, solitary and stunned state of mind captured in one of Motohiro Hata’s renowned songs.

Its weighty melody and clear, understated vocals illuminate the protagonist’s emotions like a single spotlight.

The song was used as the ending theme for Makoto Shinkai’s animated film The Garden of Words starting in May 2013, and was included as a coupling track on the single “Kotonoha” as a cover of one of Senri Oe’s signature pieces.

It resonates as a song that accompanies late-night drives or quiet moments spent with someone special.
