Masamichi Sugi, an artist whose Beatles-inspired sound won popularity in the 1980s.
“Vacances wa Itsumo Ame” (Holidays Are Always Rainy) is one of his signature songs.
While many rain-themed tracks tend to be emotional or subdued, this one blends a cheerful vibe with a subtle sense of wistfulness.
It also incorporates elements of kayōkyoku, making it very easy to sing.
If you perform this song at karaoke with your boss, it’s sure to be a hit.
Rainy MidosujiOuyang Feifei
This song was the debut single of Fifi Ouyang, released in 1971, and it was composed by The Ventures, who sparked an electric guitar boom among Japanese youth.
Speaking of songs composed by The Ventures, Yuko Nagisa’s “Kyoto Bojo (Longing for Kyoto)” is also famous.
The poignant lyrics describe a woman, on a rainy night, wandering up and down Osaka’s main street, Midosuji—walking from Kita to Minami without even an umbrella—in search of her lover.
Through Fifi Ouyang’s dynamic vocals, you can sense the resolve of a woman determined to face forward and live strongly from now on.
RainMotohiro Hata
Here is a romantic song themed around rain: “Rain.” It’s sung by singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata.
Hata’s gentle voice is as soothing as a light mist.
“Rain” was originally released in 1988 by singer-songwriter Senri Oe.
It has since become a classic, covered by artists such as Noriyuki Makihara and Motohiro Hata.
The version introduced here by Motohiro Hata was used as the theme song for the animated film The Garden of Words.
It’s a song that turns rainy days—so often gloomy—into something dramatic.
The Day the Rainbow DisappearedMotohiro Hata
Hata Motohiro’s “The Day the Rainbow Disappeared” lets you feel the hopeful rainbow beyond the rain.
Released in 2008, the song was used as the theme for the film “Tsukiji Uogashi Sandaime” and as the ending theme for the summer high school baseball program “Netto Koshien.” Its lyrics portray a story of setting out once more to pursue a light of hope that once vanished.
A rainbow hidden by the rain may appear again when the rain stops.
Hold onto that hope and sing with a fresh, uplifting feeling!
Bring the Rain to Quench the ThirstMinami
This song is one of the signature tracks by the rising singer-songwriter Minami.
She’s known for her wide expressive range—from clear, delicate high notes to powerful, gritty shouts—and you can really feel that brilliance come alive in the chorus of this track.
The lyrics paint vivid images of rain, adding depth to the emotions woven into the song.
While the words capture subtle, delicate feelings, the overall sound is rooted in guitar rock, making it a great recommendation when you want to sing a rain-themed song that’s catchy and refreshing.
