This song by YUI, filled with the bittersweet feelings of late summer and memories of a past love.

Released in September 2006 as her sixth single, it’s said to have been written during a preview tour for a film in which she starred.

Even in the face of parting, the determination not to put it into words conveys a sense of hope alongside the sadness.

When you begin to feel the end of a summer romance, why not listen to this song and sort out your feelings?

A refreshing breakup song from the era when she performed under the name YUI.

With that in mind, even though “Rain” is a breakup song, it has a cool, rock-inspired vibe.

The lyrics don’t get sentimental about a broken heart—“You get dumped, you’re drenched in the rain, it’s the Christmas season, and yet this breakup will be the start of something”—which is rock to the core.

Highly recommended for anyone feeling down after a breakup!
