is the third single by the Japanese duo Tegomass, released on June 18, 2008, by Jonny's Entertainment. It was used as the ending theme for the anime Neo Angelique ~Abyss~. It ranked first on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and charted for 13 weeks.[1]
"Ai Ai Gasa" was certified Gold by the RIAJ for shipment of 100,000 copies.[2]
Literally means to share an umbrella,[3] but it could also be read as "Love-Love Umbrella", as the word for love (愛) is also pronounced ai. As such, sharing an umbrella as a couple in Japan is considered a romantic expression, and teenagers often draw an umbrella with their name and the name of their crush, the way one would in a heart. In Tegomass's video, the two are creating rain to make a young boy and girl walk under an umbrella together.
