Lila Ikuta 'Answer' Official Music Video

A moving ballad by Lila Ikuta that weaves delicate emotional expression with a powerful message, portraying the search for answers to forge one’s own future.

It beautifully captures the protagonist’s emotional journey—from anxious nights curled up in tears to the resolve to carve out a path with their own hands.

Released in March 2021, the song was also featured in a Tokyo Marine Nichido Anshin Life commercial.

It gently encourages people who, despite feeling anxiety and loneliness in their daily lives, choose to face forward and overcome them.

It’s also recommended when you want to convey your feelings at karaoke.

The lyrics depict the beautiful scene of daybreak while also conveying the wonder of life.

Though gentle, the song has a powerful feel, making it great for times when you want to boost your motivation.

You can also enjoy considering the meaning of the title.
