Janaindayo

Atarashii Gakkou no Leaders' song 'Janaindayo' is a powerful anthem that challenges societal norms and encourages individuality. The lyrics express a sense of frustration with being constantly watched and judged by others. The opening lines, 'なんかやだね だれかにみられてんの' (I don't like it, being watched by someone), set the tone for the song's rebellious spirit. The band members assert their independence and refuse to conform to expectations, as seen in the lines 'じゃまするならここで おわらせるだけさ' (If you interfere, I'll just end it here).

The chorus emphasizes the importance of recognizing that happiness is not a given and should not be taken for granted. The repeated phrase 'あたりまえじゃないんだよ' (It's not a given) serves as a reminder that the simple joys and freedoms we experience are precious and should be cherished. The song rejects a future filled with empty words and superficial happiness, as expressed in 'ぼくらがみてるしあわせは あたりさわりのない ことばでうめつくす そんなみらいなんていらない' (The happiness we see is filled with inoffensive words, we don't need such a future).

The song also touches on themes of resilience and defiance. The lines 'わらわれるくらいならひきがねひけ' (If you're going to laugh at me, I'll pull the trigger) and 'なめたたいどばかり しかえしがくるって' (If you keep underestimating me, revenge will come) highlight a determination to stand up against ridicule and disrespect. The band members convey a message of strength and self-respect, urging listeners to embrace their true selves and not be swayed by societal pressures.

'Janaindayo' is a bold declaration of self-empowerment and a call to reject conformity. Atarashii Gakkou no Leaders use their unique blend of music and performance to inspire listeners to live authentically and unapologetically.
