Arranger: Tatsuro Yamashita
From Yamashita's 1978 album: "Go Ahead!"
With towers and skyscrapers hidden in low rain clouds, "Ni-sen Ton no Ame" depicts a scene only found in the big city. For people who have quietly loved hearing this song since the 1970s, there isn't a doubt in the world that no one could have imagined it to be used as the theme tune for a movie in the 21st century. There have been many revivals of hit songs but for an album track to do so is extremely unusual. It's especially a miracle since it is a famous Tats song.
The above comes from "Disc Collection Japanese City Pop Revised" (2020).
