More Natural

Aika's song 'More Natural' is a heartfelt exploration of self-discovery and authenticity. The lyrics describe a journey away from the bustling city life, symbolized by 'Zawameku machi o nukedaso,' which translates to 'escaping the bustling city.' This departure signifies shedding societal expectations and superficial layers, represented by 'Utsuwa o nugisutete,' or 'casting off the vessel.' The desire to walk with the wind, 'Kaze to aruite mitai,' evokes a longing for freedom and a return to a more natural, unencumbered state of being.

The song delves into the rediscovery of genuine emotions, as seen in 'Wasureteta sunaona kimochi,' meaning 'forgotten honest feelings.' Aika suggests that a single deep breath, 'Shinkokyuu hitotsu de,' can awaken these dormant feelings, highlighting the simplicity and power of reconnecting with one's true self. The imagery of the moon, 'Tsuki no madobe de,' and the distant thoughts of a loved one, 'Ima, kimi o omotteru,' add a layer of introspection and longing, suggesting that this journey is also about reconnecting with important relationships.

Aika reflects on her past self, who pretended not to notice the things stored deep in her heart, 'Shimaikondeta mono ni, Kizukanai furi shiteta.' This acknowledgment of past fears and pretenses, 'Okubyou to tsuyogari ni,' contrasts with the emerging stronger feelings, 'Motto motto, tsuyoi kimochi.' The song conveys a sense of hope and transformation, as Aika envisions a new tomorrow, 'Sukoshi dake atarashi ashita,' where she can face her dreams and meet the smiles of loved ones, 'Kimi no egao ni aitai.' This journey, though filled with uncertainty and dreams, 'Mayoinagara, yume minagara,' ultimately leads to a place of genuine connection and self-acceptance.
