We woke up this morning to 雨 あめ so I went looking for songs about rain, thinking of the children’s
song I had learned that begins 「あめ、あめ、ふれ、ふれ、母さんが」。
When I searched for it, what came
up first was a hugely popular song by Japanese singer Toshinobu Kubota, 恋の雨 こい の あめ “Love Rain”。Here’s some information about him.
You can listen to the song on the YouTube link below. I think you would be able to understand quite
a bit of it.
Toshinobu "Toshi" Kubota (久保田 利伸, Kubota Toshinobu, born 24 July
1962) is a Japanese singer, songwriter, musician, music producer, and
radio personality.[1][2] Toshinobu Kubota has produced six
million-seller records and thirty-three Top 40 singles during his career. He is
currently part of Sony Music Japan. In addition, Kubota has
composed and written songs for many singers including Iwasaki Hiromi, Misia, Toshinori Yonekura, Koizumi Kyoko, and many
other recording artists.[3]
Kubota's musical genre has varied throughout his career
including R&B, Go-go, soul, funk, blues, reggae, old skool, psychedelia, jazz, and pop.
His artistic influences include Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway,
and Sly Stone.[4] Kubota has pioneered in the sound "Japanese hip hop"
and "Japanese soul", an amalgam of funk, pop, R&B and go that has
influenced many other musicians.
