Love Rain (Toshinobu Kubota song)
Love Rain (Koi no Ame) is a 4:52 R&B/pop single by Japanese singer Toshinobu Kubota from his 2010 compilation Love & Rain: Love Songs. Released on June 6, 2010 by SME Records, Kubota wrote and produced the track, with arrangement by Yoichiro Kakizaki. The song was the lead single from the album and served as the theme song for the TV drama Tsuki no Koibito ~Moon Lovers~. An English version appears on Gold Skool, and the track also features on The Baddest: Hit Parade.
Kubota performed the song with Bank Band at AP Bank Fes 2010 on July 19, and the performance is included on Bank Band’s Live & Documentary DVD. The B-side, Timeless Affection, is the full version of interludes from his album Timeless Fly. A music video for Love Rain features Kubota singing in an empty room on a stage pedestal, scenes of him recording himself, a forest at night, and various comic-book visuals.
Chart performance: the song reached No. 3 on both the Oricon Daily and Weekly Singles charts, with about 22,000 copies sold in the first week. It also peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 and topped the RIAJ Digital Tracks chart for the week of June 16–22, 2010.
