Olivia Wo Kikinagara

Anri's song 'Olivia Wo Kikinagara' is a poignant exploration of loneliness and the bittersweet memories of a past relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a solitary night where the protagonist finds solace in listening to a favorite song, 'Olivia,' which comforts her lonely heart. The mention of 'Jasmine Tea' as a sleep-inducing remedy adds a layer of intimacy and personal routine, highlighting the protagonist's desire to end her day in a way that feels true to herself.

The song delves into the nostalgia of a relationship that has faded over time. The lines 'deatta koro wa konna hi ga kuru to wa omowazu ni ita' reflect on the unexpected nature of the relationship's end. The phrase 'MAKING GOOD THINGS BETTER' suggests an attempt to improve or cherish the good moments, but ultimately, the relationship couldn't withstand the test of time. The protagonist acknowledges that her partner loved an illusion of her, a 'maboroshi,' rather than her true self, which adds a layer of sadness and disillusionment.

As the night progresses, the protagonist counts stars, trying to find some peace, but the memories of her partner's face keep surfacing. The mention of 'Katorea' on her birthday signifies a tender memory of her partner's kindness, yet it is clear that the relationship has ended, as indicated by the line 'yasashii hito datta mitai keredo oshimai.' The late-night phone call from her partner, which she has no interest in answering, underscores the finality of their separation. The repeated refrain 'tsukarehateta anata watashi no maboroshi wo ai shita no' encapsulates the exhaustion and the realization that the love was for an illusion, not the real person.
