In the Rainy Town(雨の街を)
" In "雨の街を", I sought to visually capture the emotional depth of quiet longing and hope conveyed in Yuming's iconic song. The artwork depicts a rain-drenched town at dawn, where the soft interplay of light and rain creates a dreamlike atmosphere. At its heart, a figure holds cosmos flowers—symbols of delicate beauty and unspoken affection—sharing a moment of quiet intimacy with another.
The scene represents the narrator’s deep desire for connection and companionship, as expressed in the song’s wistful lyrics. The rain, both obscuring and revealing, mirrors the ambiguity of unfulfilled love—at once tender and bittersweet. The cosmos flowers, kissed by the rain, embody her hope for a love that blooms, while the figure beside her symbolizes the imagined presence of someone she holds dear in her heart.
Through this piece, I invite viewers to immerse themselves in the gentle solitude and quiet yearning of the song, reflecting on their own moments of longing and cherished connections.
