[2025] Songs I want to sing at karaoke in June: classic songs about rain and more (51–60)
Goodbye ElegyMasaki Suda
“Sayonara Elegy” beautifully captures the gloom and loneliness of June.
It’s a song by the hugely popular actor Masaki Suda and served as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama series “Kiss that Kills.” The song was written and composed by Huwie Ishizaki.
In the music video, Suda himself appears, and his rough, driving acoustic guitar seems to embody the murky feelings of the rainy season.
If this song resonates with you, why not try singing it at karaoke?
RainySCANDAL
SCANDAL’s “Rainy,” released in 2014.
Songs about rain are often mellow and moody, but this one is an upbeat, catchy rock tune with that signature SCANDAL flair.
It’s packed with everything great about a girls’ band.
The rainy season can be damp, gloomy, and make your spirits dip, but let’s sing along to a positive, high-energy track like this and lift our mood all at once!
Rain-Waiting WindSukima Switch
Skimama Switch’s “Amemachi Kaze,” with its wistful, aching melody, shines in the rainy season.
Released in 2005, the song is said to be based on “Natsugumo Noise,” which was created during their indie days.
Many people find the rainy tsuyu season dreary, but the protagonist of this song longs for the rain.
After a sorrowful breakup with a lover, they wish for the rain to wash away and erase all their swirling emotions.
When hearts are broken, many people probably feel, like this protagonist, that they want everything to just disappear.
If that’s you, why not let this song carry your cry and wash it away together with the monsoon rains?
When this rain stopsKana Adachi feat. Yukito Takeuchi
Born from a collaboration between singer-songwriter Kana Adachi and Yuito Takeuchi, this moving track layers the emotional bond of lovers over rainy scenes.
Released in September 2023, it was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Ao Haru Ride Season 1.” The lyrics convey both a deep affection for the other person and the frustration of not being able to put those feelings into words.
Still, the two are dreaming of a future after the rain.
Listen while gazing at the wet scenery, and it’s sure to bring back the flutter of first love.
It’s a lovely song that will make you want to walk through this season with someone special.

Summer RainKobukuro
Kobukuro, the musical duo set to create the theme song for the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, are well known for their work.
“Summer Rain,” which was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Cross Game, is included as a coupling track on their 17th single, “Niji” (Rainbow).
Its pop ensemble carried by a lively beat lifts your spirits with a refreshing, liberating feel that evokes a summer shower.
It’s also a great choice for karaoke—perfect for blowing away the gloomy atmosphere that often settles in June.
Memories are beautifulAimer
Singer-songwriter Aimer is known for her distinctive smoky voice and powerful expressiveness.
Her 15th single, “Omoi de wa Kirei de,” released as a triple A-side along with “Black Bird” and “Tiny Dancers,” is also included on her fifth album, “Penny Rain,” which was created around the theme of rain.
The lyrics tell a story of memories with her father, making it a perfect song for June, when Father’s Day takes place.
With an ensemble featuring strings and a wistful vocal that resonates deeply, it’s an emotional number.
Weather ReportBUMP OF CHICKEN
This song is included on BUMP OF CHICKEN’s 2010 album COSMONAUT.
“Weather Report” literally means weather forecast in Japanese.
It captures rainy days and a somewhat overcast heart—the heavy feelings of worrying about someone and about yourself—through a rock tune that’s quintessentially BUMP.
June often brings to mind the rainy season, but did you know June 1 is also Meteorological Memorial Day in Japan? This is a track I recommend for a day like that: it paints the scene after the rain with freshness and clarity, and by the time it’s over, it gives you the strength to face forward.
