Brand New Day (feat. Tim Henson & Scott Lepage)

BABYMETAL's 'Brand New Day (feat. Tim Henson & Scott Lepage)' is a vibrant anthem of hope and resilience. The song's lyrics, a blend of Japanese and English, paint a picture of navigating through life's uncertainties with a positive outlook. The imagery of 'stardust' and 'crushした夢' (crushed dreams) in the night sky sets a scene of introspection and longing. Yet, the song quickly shifts to a more uplifting tone, urging the listener to embrace the rhythm of life, even in the darkness, with lines like 'shaking dance in the dark.' This metaphor suggests finding joy and movement even when things seem bleak.

The recurring question, 'How will the weather be tomorrow?' symbolizes the unpredictability of life. The weather metaphor is a powerful one, representing the ups and downs we all face. The song encourages a proactive approach to these uncertainties, with lines like '晴れたらknock knockしてみよう' (If it's sunny, let's knock) and '雨ならbreakしたっていいんじゃない' (If it rains, it's okay to take a break). This duality highlights the importance of adapting to circumstances, whether they are favorable or challenging.

The chorus, with its repetitive '明日がまた来るから' (Because tomorrow will come again), reinforces the theme of perseverance. It suggests that no matter what happens today, there is always a new day to start afresh. The song's message is clear: take life step by step, and don't be afraid to make mistakes or take breaks when needed. The final lines, 'It's gonna be okay, alright' and 'Every day始めよう, Brand new day' (Every day, let's start a brand new day), encapsulate the song's essence of continuous renewal and optimism. This message resonates deeply, encouraging listeners to keep moving forward, no matter what.
