Rain, beat downofukōsu32rank/position

This song juxtaposes the pain of parting with the rain falling in that scene.

It was included on the 1975 album “Wine no Nioi” (“The Scent of Wine”).

Centered on acoustic guitar with bass and drums layered in, the straightforward band sound conveys a rock-like strength within a folk atmosphere.

The darker turns in the arrangement are also distinctive, giving the impression that both the depth of the anguish and the intensity of the rain are being emphasized.

The key point is the powerful singing in a generally lower register; if you focus on delivering the words with force, as if speaking directly to the listener, it should be easier to sing.

Off Course is a band that debuted in 1970.

Kazumasa Oda served as the vocalist and produced numerous hit songs.
