The meaning of goodbyeNogizaka 46
The chorus lyrics pierce straight into the heart just as they are.
This song was created in response to the graduation of early member Nanami Hashimoto.
It teaches us that every encounter and every parting has true meaning, and it gives us the courage and hope to move forward.
I’m glad I met you.Koizumi Kyoko
It’s a classic, but it’s Kyoko Koizumi’s “Anata ni Aete Yokatta” (I’m Glad I Met You).
It’s a masterpiece that needs no explanation, but live footage of Kyon Kyon is probably rare, isn’t it? Looking back on everything up to now, it wasn’t about who was right or wrong—that didn’t matter… The truth is simply that both of us feel we’re glad we met you.
I can almost hear Kyon Kyon saying, “Isn’t that enough?”
Why did I end up falling in love with you?Tōhōshinki
They’ve resumed activities as a duo now, but when this song was released, they were active as a five-member group.
The harmony woven by those five members is a must-hear.
As the title “Why Did I Fall in Love with You?” suggests, it’s told from a male perspective, portraying a man who continues to think about a single woman.
Love DrizzleShonan no Kaze
This is a song about parting with someone I loved very deeply.
Just listening to it is painful because it’s such a pure love song, but in the end it’s a song that faces heartbreak.
It’s the kind of song you’ll want to listen to after a breakup, when you’re able to think about both the other person’s happiness and your own.
alreadyAbe Mao
This is a song that honestly expresses a girl’s true feelings as she lays everything on the line at the end of a relationship.
The sentiment of “I wanted you to love me more, but it’s far too late now” matches perfectly with Mao Abe’s strong, unwavering vocals.
