Towa no Mirai

Animetal's song "Towa no Mirai" delves into the themes of enduring pain and holding onto dreams despite the hardships. The lyrics open with a sense of sorrow, where the protagonist clings to their dreams even in the midst of overwhelming sadness and physical discomfort, symbolized by the 'doshaburi no ame' (torrential rain) that chills their body. This imagery sets the stage for a narrative of resilience and unwavering hope.

The chorus, with its invocation of the 'aoki sora' (blue sky), represents an infinite expanse of possibilities and hope. The blue sky is a metaphor for a future filled with light and potential, as long as there is light, the protagonist and their companions will live passionately and strongly. The desire to protect love and create an eternal future is a powerful message that resonates throughout the song. This eternal future, or 'towa no mirai,' is not just a personal aspiration but a collective dream of a better world.

The song also touches on the human experience of learning from pain and the innocence of childhood tears. Despite the world's corruption and the sins of the times, the truth remains pure and untainted. The repeated imagery of the clear blue sky and the dreams that fly with wings symbolizes the unyielding spirit and passion that will one day create a paradise, an eternal future. The song's powerful and energetic delivery, characteristic of Animetal's style, amplifies its message of hope and resilience, making it a stirring anthem for anyone facing adversity.
