[2025] Songs I want to sing at karaoke in June: classic tracks like rain-themed songs

RAINSEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI「RAIN」Short Version

It’s the song that became the theme for the film “Mary and The Witch’s Flower,” so if you’ve seen the movie, it will probably sound familiar.

It’s a charming track with fantasy- and fairytale-like lyrics that are very SEKAI NO OWARI.

Fukase’s gentle vocals suit it perfectly.

Even though this is a rainy season, singing a warm and tender song like this might brighten your mood a bit, don’t you think? The chorus about a rainbow is especially memorable, reminding us that once the rain stops, a beautiful rainbow will appear—a positive rain song.

Pornograffitti “Saboten” MUSIC VIDEO

A Porno Graffitti number that depicts a couple’s relationship gradually falling apart.

In fact, it’s said that the title and lyrics were changed multiple times before release.

The two sadly reach the end without noticing the signs the lover shows here and there.

Even so, in the end the narrator realizes those feelings and their own oversights, and wishes they could start over.

The imagery in the lyrics is like rain that keeps falling, followed by the sun breaking through.

It’s not just bittersweet—it’s a song that also conveys a sense of hope.

Mrs. GREEN APPLE – umbrella【LIVE from “Atlantis”】

Set beneath a sky where the rain keeps falling, this song gently wraps around a powerful desire to protect someone.

Its warm, compassionate message—“I want to be someone who protects you”—and the carefully woven melodies and vocals of Mrs.

GREEN APPLE resonate deeply.

Released in June 2016 as the B-side to the single “Samama Festival!”, it was included the following year on the album “Mrs.

GREEN APPLE.” Composed by Motoki Ohmori during his high school years, the song was finally performed for the first time at their dome concert in August 2023, captivating fans.

It’s a heartwarming track that tenderly soothes the gloom of a rainy day.

Rainy BlueHidemasa Tokunaga

HIDEAKI TOKUNAGA – Rainy Blue

When it comes to rain-themed songs, I imagine many people think of this one.

Although it was released in 1986, it’s still cherished as a classic love song today.

The lyrics portray the lingering feelings of a woman after a breakup.

The weather mirrors the emotions of the woman in the song; the lyrics don’t say much, yet as you read them, you can vividly imagine the feelings she holds.

Tokunaga Hideaki’s beautiful high-tone voice amplifies the sense of melancholy.

It’s also a song that works wonderfully when sung by a woman.

Ref:rainAimer

Aimer “Ref:rain” MUSIC VIDEO (5th albums “Sun Dance” and “Penny Rain” released simultaneously on Wednesday, 2019/04/10)

This is a song by the popular female singer-songwriter Aimer that was used as the theme song for the anime “After the Rain.” She’s known for her captivating, breathy vocals, and you can really feel her charm in this track as well.

The lyrics depict a heartrending story set in the rainy season.

The regrets and lingering feelings about time that has passed tighten the chest.

Of course, the rain adds a sense of melancholy, but in this song it also somehow enhances its beauty.

Consider choosing this song when you want to sing a beautiful ballad at karaoke during this season.

back number – “Mabataki” Music Video

Back Number has released numerous love songs that have captivated many listeners.

Among their tracks, when it comes to a song where the word “rain” leaves a strong impression, I think it has to be Mabataki.

That said, the “rain” that appears in the lyrics is used metaphorically.

Just as the lyrics suggest, I’m sure many people feel the desire to protect someone important to them from hardship.

It’s a classic ballad that sings of warm, gentle love.

It can be a bit challenging to sing for the average male vocal range, but it’s a wonderful song—so if you’re confident, definitely give it a try!

Heart Rainindigo la End

Indigo la End “Koiame”

A beautiful ballad by indigo la End that sings of rain falling endlessly on the heart.

Through the symbolic motif of rain, it poignantly portrays the complex emotions of a woman facing the end of a relationship.

The lyrics delicately express the wavering between the resolve to leave and the guilt that comes with it, as well as the gradual cooling of affection—feelings anyone who has experienced a breakup can relate to.

Released in February 2016, this song was also featured in a commercial for the smartphone game “Shoumetsu Toshi” (Disappearing City).

It’s a track that gently keeps you company on a rainy night in the rainy season, when you’re alone in your room listening to the sound of the rain, or when you want to face the end of a romance.
