Mika Nakashima “A or B” Music Video

It’s a single released by Mika Nakashima in 2017.

From the title, you can tell it deals with two choices.

The lyrics begin with a sense of being dejected about one’s own weakness, and in the chorus the mood shifts to a bright, uplifting feeling of becoming a new self.

It also feels like the singing style changes to match the character’s emotional transformation.

Looking at the song as a whole, it seems less about making a choice and more about expressing a resolve to change.
