🎧 V6 "HONEY BEAT" | Choose your future and restart now ✨
V6, who disbanded in 2021,
November 1, 2025, marked their 30th anniversary since debut!
To mark the 30th anniversary, their 20th-anniversary concert
was released on YouTube for a limited time!
*The viewing period has ended 😭
What makes me happy is that I can talk about it
with fellow V6 fans here!
Among the many V6 songs, the one that sticks in my head every time I see it is
🎧 "HONEY BEAT"
Click here for the official MV
It seems it was used as a commercial song for a cram school,
and the MV also features a performance as an anthem for students preparing for exams.
Every time I listen to this song, I am struck by the lyrics.
Right at the beginning, there is this unexpectedly negative expression:
Most platitudes have holes in them
Listening to it in this day and age hits home all over again.
We live in a world where we don't know what to believe.
Sometimes we believe, get betrayed, and get hurt.
It's safer to assume everything has holes in it.
But then the lyrics go on to
heal and encourage that wounded heart.
Memories cannot surpass the present
This is my favorite lyric from the beginning.
It makes me stop and think every time I hear it.
Sometimes we want to cling to past glories,
thinking, "Things were better back then."
I often hear people say they want to go back to the past and start over.
But while memories remain as facts,
they are the past,
and no matter how glamorous or successful they were, they are still the past.
That past shapes the present
and serves as a foundation.
You can't change the past, but
you can change the present depending on your mindset.
Truly,
"Memories cannot surpass the present"
is a groundbreaking phrase.
And then the perspective of the lyrics shifts toward the future---
Choose your future and restart now
Any other words would be weaker than these lyrics.
No matter how things are now,
you can choose your future and restart.
No matter how things are now,
if you restart, you can even change this very moment.
Every time I listen to it,
I think, "Ah, it's time. I can restart."
"Let's restart!"
It changes my mindset.
V6's "HONEY BEAT"
is filled with lyrics that resonate with the heart throughout.
