==Title==
Literally {{nihongo|''ai ai gasa''|相合傘}} means to share an [[umbrella]],<ref>See [[wiktionary:相合傘|相合傘]] on [[Wiktionary]].{{rs|date=May 2023}}</ref> 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.
