ルル (Rule)

Ado's song 'ルル (Rule)' is a powerful anthem of rebellion against oppressive and hypocritical societal norms. The repetitive and rhythmic 'ちゃっちゃっちゃちゃ、なななななー' serves as a catchy yet almost mocking backdrop to the serious message conveyed in the lyrics. The song opens with a series of commands to '降りろ' (get down) and '閉じろ' (shut up), directed at an unspecified 'you' who represents the enforcers of these corrupt rules. This 'you' is depicted as an unwanted authority figure whose advice and presence are neither needed nor welcomed.

The lyrics criticize the '分厚く肥ったルールブック' (thick and fat rulebook) as a product of the enforcer's own delusions and self-righteousness. Ado calls out the hypocrisy and contradictions in these rules, urging the enforcer to look in the mirror and confront their own flaws. The repeated farewells, 'サヨナラ' (goodbye), to these '腐ったルール' (rotten rules) and '歪んだルール' (twisted rules) emphasize the desire to break free from these oppressive structures. The imagery of throwing garbage into the trash bin further underscores the need to discard these outdated and harmful norms.

Ado's aggressive and confrontational tone, coupled with the vivid imagery of chainsaws and headshots, highlights the urgency and intensity of this rebellion. The song is not just a critique but a call to action, encouraging listeners to reject and dismantle the corrupt systems that bind them. By doing so, Ado empowers her audience to reclaim their autonomy and challenge the status quo, making 'ルル (Rule)' a resonant and impactful piece in her discography.
