Rain Song

“Rain Song,” sung by singer-songwriter Masayoshi Yamazaki, is another great pick for rainy days.

It was included as the B-side to the single “Adrenaline,” released in 1997.

With Yamazaki’s powerful vocals resonating emotionally, it’s a hidden gem known to those in the know.

The acoustic guitar has a refreshing tone that conjures up the image of the sky clearing after the rain.

The lyrics convey a resolve to move forward beyond feelings of heartache—making it a perfect post-rain song.

Summer MonologueYamazaki Masayoshi

New York: A Summer Monologue

The words I left behind at summer’s end have become memories that still continue even now, and the line about the one I loved “hiding their tears” may be because we were caring for each other.

Still, the part that says “I never managed to say what mattered most,” even after time has passed, is that one phrase you only realize after losing it… surely words of love.

A town with sloping streetsYamazaki Masayoshi

A town with sloping streets

This song is said to be about the time when Masayoshi Yamazaki moved to Yokohama right after coming up to Tokyo.

Since it’s from before he became popular, I feel the lyrics are very real and relatable.

Listening to this song, performed with just a single guitar, makes me feel somehow very nostalgic.

It earnestly sings about everyday feelings, like reading aloud from a diary.

Thinking that even people who’ve become big and famous had times like this makes me feel a bit relieved.
