TUYU – It’s Raining After All

Review

“It’s Raining After All” by TUYU feels like stepping straight into a quiet, rainy afternoon where everything smells like nostalgia and unresolved feelings. The title track sets that dreamy gloom perfectly—it’s sad, yeah, but it doesn’t wallow. Songs like “Early Summer” and “Under the Summer Breeze” have this bittersweet charm, like remembering a summer that never really belonged to you. I love how each song shifts from soft melancholy to little flickers of hope, like the band’s saying, “Hey, we’re hurting, but we’re still standing.”

What really grabs me is how raw the whole album feels—“Loneliness and the Future” hits especially hard if you’ve ever stayed up too late thinking about where life’s headed. “Envy” and “Compared Child” carry that punch of frustration and self-doubt that’s almost too real, while “Perhaps I’ll Be Able to Become the Sun” glows with quiet determination beneath the sadness. The production is ridiculously crisp, too—every guitar pluck and synth line sounds deliberate but never sterile. When “Goodbye to Rock You” and “Even Tears Withered” wrap things up, you’re left sitting there in that familiar post-album silence, just… letting it all sink in. TUYU managed to make melancholy sound gorgeous—and I’m absolutely here for it. - Madi
