Me ni ukaberu kimi ni deatta hi
Hajimete orera ga shiriatta hi
Saisho zenzen shirane- aite doushi
Datta kara kaiwa mo nai tte choushi
Dattakke ano toki wa
Demo madjika ni kanjiteta ano toki kara
Ore no naka de isshu no inabikari
Sonna shougeki no hajimari nando ka hanashitari
Shite deau kaisuu fuyashiteku koto ni
Tsunotte itta kimi e no omoi
Dakara hajimete omoi wo tsutae tsutawatta
Sou ano toki no
Yoru nante kimi no hikari de
Hareta you na ki ga shita n’ da ore no rainy days
(kouda kumi + km-markit)
I’m still loving you, baby demo…
Ano hi ni wa kaeranai subete wo ukeireteku
I belong to someone else,
Then say goodbye
2(ni)do to kaeranai doshaburi no rainy days
(km-markit)
Atsui manatsu no yoru
Totsuzen no doshaburi ni furare heya ni iru futari fui ni
Otozureta totsuzen no wakare itsumo to wa chigau sono nagare
Ishi hanashi to mo tsuujizu
Otagai ni moto ni wa modorenai kuuki
Tadayoi surechigau kekka igai ni mo kantan na ketsumatsu
Osotta sonna saigo

Kimi wa sou hitori mi no mama de
Kiete itta ano ame no naka e….

Ano hi ni wa kaeranai subete wo ukeireteku

You was all the dream
Asa made hanashitari sore ja tarizu ni nagadenwa shitari

Futari chou-shinken ni shinjiattari
Shite kimi to sugoshita hibi kidzuku to ima mo ame no tabi ni
Omoidasu futoshita shunkan yomigaeru ano hi ano koro no shuukan

Kono joukyou mae ni soumatou no you

The song "Rainy Day" by KM-MARKIT featuring Koda Kumi talks about the memories of a past relationship and how they still hold onto those emotions despite the bitter end. The lyrics are reflective of the emotional turmoil that one goes through after a heartbreak, the end of a relationship, the longing to go back to the good days but that becoming impossible.
The first verse explains the singer's initial memory of meeting their former lover, how they initially didn't know what to say to them, so there was no conversation. But, there was something electric about the moment that stayed with them. They describe feeling a spark in their heart and feeling electrified. The following verse talks about how things didn't work out between the two, they struggled through a lot of fights and parted ways. The second part of the song deals with a different point in their relationship, where the couple was living together and they were hit by an unexpected storm that left them trapped in the same room. In this verse, they talk about how things started falling apart, how misunderstandings led to fights, and how they both knew that their relationship was doomed despite their love towards each-other.
