Sou da ne sono toori da yo ne
Aidzuchi uteba utsu hodo ni (a rainy day in town)

Overall Meaning

The song RAINBOW by Japanese boy band Arashi talks about finding happiness even on a rainy day. The lyrics suggest that difficulties in life are just like a rainy day. No matter how hard it pours, one should keep moving forward and find a way to appreciate the beauty in everything. The line "Sou da ne sono toori da yo ne" means "That's just how it is on this road we're on," indicating that the journey ahead may not be smooth but it's important to keep moving forward. The line "Kimi wa fukurete shimau n' da" suggests that the person mentioned in the song gives up easily during hard times.


The lyrics also describe the beauty of nature. The lines "Kirei da ne tte kimi ga iu" and "Kigen naoshite sugu ni Yokogao wa motodoori no egao" indicate that the beauty of a smile is like that of a rainbow, and the sunshine that comes after rain is like a symbol of hope. The lyrics also suggest that we should enjoy life and live in the moment rather than predicting what's going to happen. The line "Yotei wa nani mo tatetenai" means we cannot plan everything in life, so we need to enjoy every moment.
