SNS24時 (esuenuesunijyuyoji)

Atarashii Gakkou no Leaders' song 'Esuenuesunijyuyoji [SNS 24-じ]' delves into the complexities and illusions of social media life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the digital world as an 'illusion' ('iryujon'), where the constant flow of information ('netto no umi ni abudakushon') can be overwhelming. The song captures the anxiety of being constantly watched and judged, as expressed in lines like 'darekaga watashinokoto o yonde iru' (someone is calling me) and 'darekaga watashinokoto o sagashi teru' (someone is searching for me). This reflects the pressure to maintain a certain image online, even if it means living a life that feels inauthentic or hollow.

The song also touches on the superficiality of social interactions on social media. The phrase 'karisome no sosharu mi'na waratteru' (everyone is laughing in the superficial social world) highlights the facade that people often put up online. Despite appearing happy and engaged ('tanoshi geni furumattete mo'), there is a sense of emptiness ('kokoro arazu'). The lyrics suggest that even if these interactions are based on lies ('uso demo ikeredo'), they still create a sense of companionship ('issho tomodachi'). This duality underscores the paradox of social media: it connects us, yet often leaves us feeling more isolated.

The song further explores the idea of a 'celebrity' life that is constantly under scrutiny. Lines like 'mirareu jinsei tanoshina' (a life being watched is fun) and 'mirareru jinsei munashi na' (a life being watched is empty) juxtapose the allure and the hollowness of fame. The mention of 'kamisama' (God) questions the search for meaning and validation in a digital world. The song concludes with a reflection on the consequences of this lifestyle, pondering whether being 'arrested' ('taiho sa retanara') might add a certain 'coolness' ('haku ga tsuku') to one's image, despite the inherent risks ('kokin shitakunai datte infuruensa').

Overall, 'Esuenuesunijyuyoji [SNS 24-じ]' is a poignant commentary on the modern digital age, exploring themes of identity, authenticity, and the search for meaning in a world dominated by social media.
