It was included on the B-side of his second single "Kazaguruma" released on June 25, 1977. Lyrics and composition: Chiharu Matsuyama Arrangement: Tadashige Matsui It is also included as the first track on Side B of his first album "Songs Made for You" released at the same time. "Silver Rain" is included in the album version with a different mix and arrangement. Also, a cassette album "Kazaguruma Chiharu Matsuyama First" was released at the same time, with the same content but a different title and track order. "Silver Rain" was re-recorded (remake V86) for the 1986 album "Tabidachi", and the remake (V86) is included on his best album "Fukei", which he selected himself. It is amazing that "Silver Rain", which is highly regarded as one of the greatest songs among Chiharu Matsuyama's songs, is on the B-side of the main single instead of the A-side. Matsuyama's mentor, Takeda, said, "After the debut single 'Tabidachi', 'Silver Rain' would solidify the image of Matsuyama Chiharu. The A-side should be 'Kazaguruma'" (summary). 'Silver Rain' is a poem that recalls a past breakup from the woman's perspective. This is my personal opinion, but I think the man in this song was a so-called 'useless man'. A man who only talks about his dreams and doesn't work properly. That's why I think he said 'I'm sorry' when they broke up. In the lyrics, it is expressed as kindness, but this is a word that he said because he felt guilty about relying too much on the woman. She seems to be a very maternal woman, and she probably took it as kindness. She has done so much for him, and even after they broke up, she shows her brave side by wishing for his dreams to come true. Silver rain falls on my heart as I pray for your dreams to come true. From the lyrics before and after, 'Silver Rain' probably means a sad rain, that is, a tearful rain. I guess he expressed tears with the color "silver". I don't think there are many male artists who can express lyrics from a female perspective so beautifully. I feel that this is one of the charms of the artist Chiharu Matsuyama, not just his singing ability. #SilverRain #MeiNagano
