Описание: Background introduction /背景介绍

This song was released on February 1, 1969, and was the major debut song of Hiroshi Uchiyamada and Cool Five, and their biggest hit. It is also the representative song of Kiyoshi Maekawa, who became a solo singer after leaving the group. Hiroshi Uchiyamada and Cool Five were an exclusive band of the grand cabaret "Ginbasha" in Nagasaki City, and had a wide repertoire including Latin and jazz. In 1968, Kiyoshi Maekawa, who had made a name for himself as a nightclub singer in Sasebo, was appointed as the lead vocalist. With this hit song, they won the 11th Japan Record Awards Newcomer Award in the same year (1969), and also made their first appearance in the 20th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen. In Kohaku, it was also sung as Maekawa's solo at the 51st NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen in 2000 and the 57th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen in 2006. It is a well-known song in Japanese enka.

The lyrics are a local Nagasaki song about a serious love affair and heartbreak. The combination of "Nagasaki" and "Rain" is not because it often rains in Nagasaki City, but because "Rain" is very suitable as a metaphor for tears when describing a woman's sadness and tears when she breaks up with her lover. In fact, the lyrics of "Nagasaki was raining again today" clearly show the relationship between rain and tears, such as “The rain of tears spilling down my cheeks”.

The stone pavement in the lyrics refers to Oura Catholic Church, the oldest existing Christian building in Japan, and there are many places around it that have stone pavements as after the opening of the country by the Edo Shogunate, foreign residents of Nagasaki requested that the roads to churches be paved with cobblestones. There is a famous tourist spot in Nagasaki called “Holland Hill” with stone pavements. This may be the place where the heroine in the lyrics and her lover used to date and fall in love. That's why she felt sad and depressed when she walked alone on the stone pavement road.

这首歌于 1969 年 2 月 1 日发行，是内山田浩和酷五人组的主要出道歌曲，也是他们的热门歌曲。 这也是退团后成为solo歌手的前川清的代表歌曲。内山田宏和酷五人组是长崎市大型歌舞表演“银波社”的专属乐队，演奏曲目广泛，包括拉丁乐和爵士乐。1968年，在佐世保夜店歌手出名的前川清被任命为主唱. 同年(1969)他们凭借这首热门歌曲获得第11届日本唱片大赏新人奖，并首次亮相“第20届NHK红白歌合战”。在《红白》中，它还曾在2000年第51届NHK红白歌合战和2006年第57届NHK红白歌合战中作为前川独唱曲。它是日本演歌中的家喻户晓的名曲。

歌词是长崎当地一首关于严肃的恋爱和破碎的心的歌曲。“长崎”和“雨”的组合，并不是因为长崎市经常下雨，而是因为在描述一个女人与她的恋人分手时的悲伤和眼泪时，“雨”非常适合比喻眼泪。事实上，《长崎今天又下雨了》的歌词清楚地表明了雨和眼泪的关系，比如“从我脸颊上洒落的泪雨”。

歌词中的石板路指的是日本现存最古老的基督教建筑大浦天主教堂，其周围很多地方都是石板铺成的路。因为江户幕府开国后，长崎的外国居民要求通往教堂的道路都用鹅卵石铺成。那里有一个长崎著名的旅游景点，名叫“荷兰坡”，是用石头铺成的路面。这里可能是歌词中的女主角和她的恋人过去经常约会、谈情说爱之处。这就是为什么当她独自行走在石板路上时感到伤心、沮丧的缘故。
