Nukumori sae mo nai, nai, nai

The song "Let It Rain" by Girls' Generation offers diverse interpretations through its lyrics, where the first few sentences speak of a strange yet intriguing light in the skies while emphasizing the lack of warmth. The next verse implies consistent rain echoing through the mountains, and the duality between two people getting lost within its hold. The chorus highlights the inevitability of change as we pay the price for our actions, and specific moments where everything shifts. It further emphasizes that even when we cry or pray, we cannot control everything, and sometimes, we need to let go and wash our worries away.
The second verse highlights the unpredictable nature of life, where the continuous rain can either mockingly laugh at us or push us to move further. The recurring theme of uncertainty and knowledge that everything could change at any moment is underlined with the lines, "It’s time to pay the price, everything changes in an instant." Although the chorus repeats, it doesn't come across as repetitive, instead indicates the difficulty of letting go of what was.
"Let It Rain" by Girls' Generation puts forward the idea that the rain is a metaphor for the unpredictable nature of life where it can either leave us perplexed or inspire us to take the next step. However, the song's message stands clear, no matter the results, whether we laugh or cry, we must keep moving forward and not let the rain wash away our dreams.

I was only 14 when this was released. Fast forward to 10 years later, it's still gold.

Their 1st Japanese album was solid and one of my all time favourite albums from a kpop group.
@weirdcoincidence
Jessica and Seohyun's voice color/harmonization (?) always kills me. They're simply astonishing.

SJJD's Japanese discography is gold and I think one of the best out of any other Japanese songs sung by Korean idols
