A Tale of Rainiruka6rank/position

Speaking of Iruka, her classic “Nagori Yuki” is famous, but she also has a masterpiece that depicts rain.
Released in 1977, it became a hit second only to “Nagori Yuki.” This one, too, was written and composed by Shozo Ise.
It portrays a richly lyrical romance between adults and is incredibly heartrending.
Listening to it when you’re out of sync with your lover or on the verge of breaking up will likely deepen your sense of empathy.
The song shines with Ise’s signature literary scene-setting, and the deeply expressive guitar tone further enhances its appeal.
