優しい雨
小泉今日子 Lyrics

The lyrics of 小泉今日子's song 優しい雨 describe a scene where a gentle rain is falling in the cracks of the heart, while the tired back is gently moistened. The fish swimming in groups appear to be having fun as they run toward the station. In the midst of such an ordinary day, the two people met each other. They wish that they could let the rain wash away everything but it isn't that simple since they have to go their separate ways. She reflects that looking at someone she doesn't know, the far-off swaying city is like a diamond, with each piece disappearing one by one into the night's silence. She watches with bated breath, dreaming of being embraced and taken away by destiny.

The lyrics suggest that the rain may symbolize a kind of renewal or healing process that may be necessary to fill the void in one's heart. The song also has a subtle romantic theme that is expressed throughout the lyrics. The fish swimming in groups may represent the sense of playfulness and fun that is a necessary component in a healthy relationship. The diamond-like city could be seen as a symbol of the beauty found in the world that she longs to experience with someone close to her. Overall, the song touches upon the wish for deeper connections with the people around us.
