💔 1. “Rain That Never Stops” (止まない雨 – Yamanai Ame)

💔 1. “Rain That Never Stops” (止まない雨 – Yamanai Ame)

Rika and Kento were childhood friends who walked home together every day with one umbrella.

As they grew older, Rika confessed her love, but Kento only smiled,

“Let’s stay like this forever.”

Before graduation, he moved away without a word.

Years later, during a sudden downpour, Rika visited their old school and saw him — in a photo on a memorial board.

He’d died in an accident that same week he left.

Now, every year on that day, it rains — and Rika walks home with the same umbrella, whispering,

“You kept your promise. You stayed with me whenever it rains.”

🌧️ Love that lives in every drop.

💔 2. “A Thousand Autumns” (千の秋 – Sen no Aki)

In Nara, Mio, a temple artist, met Takeru, a historian.

They fell in love restoring an old pagoda mural — one that told of two souls who met every thousand years.

When the mural was finished, Takeru confessed:

“Maybe we were those souls — meeting again.”

But before they could marry, he was diagnosed with a rare illness.

After his death, Mio returned to the temple and found new colors on the mural — a figure painted beside hers.

No one else had touched it.

🍁 Some love stories are painted not by hands, but by hearts that never stop remembering.

💔 3. “The Station Clock” (駅の時計 – Eki no Tokei)

Every morning at 8:03, Airi waited at the same platform for her boyfriend Shun.

One winter morning, he didn’t arrive. There had been a train accident that day.

Since then, the station clock froze — permanently showing 8:03.

People said it was broken, but Airi believed it stopped for love.

Years later, when the station was renovated, workers fixed the clock — it began ticking again.

That night, Airi dreamt of Shun smiling, saying,

“It’s time to keep moving.”

🚉 Even broken clocks can mark the moment love stood still.

💔 4. “Her Voice on Tape” (彼女の声 – Kanojo no Koe)

Daigo, a sound engineer, found an old cassette in his studio labeled “For Tomorrow.”

He played it — a girl’s voice, soft and warm, reading a love letter.

The name was Mika, his college sweetheart who had disappeared years ago after a car crash.

Every night, he listened — not to remember her, but to feel alive again.

One day, he accidentally erased the tape.

When he broke down crying, he heard her whisper faintly through the speakers,

“You don’t need my voice anymore. You have my silence now.”

🎧 When love fades, echoes remain.

💔 5. “The Last Train to Kyoto” (最後の電車 – Saigo no Densha)

Yuna met Haruto on the last train from Osaka to Kyoto.

They talked all night, strangers connected by stories and laughter.

Before parting, they promised to meet again — same train, same time, next year.

Yuna returned every year. Haruto never did.

On the fifth year, she met an old conductor who told her,

“That boy died the night of your first meeting… in a train accident on this line.”

She looked outside the window — and saw his reflection, smiling back.

🚆 A love that rode time’s last train.
