[Focus on these lyrics!] My Favorite Songs <August Edition>
Good evening. This is Rii☆🍀
I also have an Instagram account, and I update my Instagram stories with songs that have wonderful lyrics "almost" every week😁
They are compiled in the highlight "Focus on these lyrics!", and I have also created a playlist on Spotify, so please take a listen if you'd like♪
This time, I would like to introduce the [August Edition]!
Please stay with me until the end.
Da-iCE / Nonfictions
Come on, it's time to go beyond 100%
Even if you fall and hit rock bottom
Deliver this peak right now
Don't just wait around
The future you will be proud of
Going beyond fiction
There is drama in non-fiction
You are not alone
It starts from here, a big reversal
2025 "Netto Koshien" theme song⚾
Koshien is already over, but I'm still listening to it on repeat♪
It's a song full of baseball terminology that's fun to listen to!
But actually,
"Blue" "Pencil" -> Bullpen
"Outer shell" -> Outer corner
"Extension line" -> Extra innings
"Inner shell" -> Inner corner
It's a lyric full of playfulness where they make words sound like baseball terms or change the kanji characters😆
It's a baseball cheering song, but I love that it's not limited just to baseball♡
It's a song that pushes anyone's back.
Also,
1st chorus: "It's time to give 100%"
2nd chorus: "It's time to go beyond 100%"
Last chorus: "It's time to give 200%"
I also love how the lyrics in the chorus keep changing!
SPYAIR / Chase the Shine
There's no time to be worrying
That's right, the race is very short
Rather than waiting for a miracle
Let's go make one happen
This is the "Boat Race 2025" commercial song featuring Takashi Sasano, Shido Nakamura, Noriko Eguchi, Fuju Kamio, Nako Yabuki, and Oshiro Maeda. Many of you might have heard it, right?
It's a song that lets you feel the sense of speed like a boat race😜
I think the decisiveness of saying "There's no time to be worrying" in the lyrics above is cool to listen to!
The lyrics of Da-iCE's "Nonfictions" that I introduced earlier also said "Don't just wait around, the future you will be proud of," so I ended up choosing songs that both have the message "Don't wait, move!"😁
(It's a total coincidence, haha)
BUDDiiS / SM:)LE
SM:)LE for you
Come on, keep on your smile
If you stop being afraid and take the leap
Surely, surely, to a shining world
Please, please, to a colorful future
Member HARUKI-kun is graduating today, 8/31, isn't he? 😭
So, I chose this song, my favorite BUDDiiS track, for 8/22, the day HARUKI-kun's graduation ceremony was held!
It's easy on the ears and gently gives you a push forward ☺️
I really love how the lyrics above feel like BUDDiiS is right there with you, saying, "Let's do our best together!" ♡
By the way, "SM:)LE" is read as "smile," and I often use this ":)" mark too 😍
It looks like a smile when you look at it sideways, which is cute, right? :)
I'm also healed by watching the 10 members smiling in the music video!
Yu Takahashi / Shonen de Are (Be a Boy)
Was I better off not being born? My wounded heart asks
Making you think that is their goal. Don't lose, boy
This song was the ending theme for "Honne Biyori."
It seems EIKU-kun from ONE N' ONLY has been singing this song since he was little, and after watching his cover on YouTube and Instagram again recently, I wanted to listen to it for the first time in a while 😊
I feel that the lyrics above don't just empathize with the heart's cry of "Was I better off not being born?" but also contain the wish, "Don't let yourself be swallowed by that."
This is a song I really want kids who hate school or are having a hard time to listen to.
Through this song, Yu Takahashi is telling you, "Your ally is right here."
Also,
You don't have to carry the pain you can't handle
Where is the need to force yourself to suffer?
These lyrics are also words I want to deliver to kids who don't want to go to school.
It gently wraps around you, saying it's okay to take a break, it's okay to run away.
