In Kabukicho, the neon lights
Are dimmed by the rain at night
The streets are slick, the air is cool
As drops fall gently, like a pool

The city's noise is hushed and low
As people hurry, to and fro
But in the rain, there's peace to find
As nature's music soothes the mind

The colors blur, the world transforms
As raindrops dance in rhythmic forms
And though the night is dark and wet
There's beauty in each silhouette

So if you find yourself in Kabukicho
On a rainy night, don't let it go
Embrace the calm, embrace the rain
And let it wash away your pain.
