Futari No Kisetsu

“Futari No Kisetsu” by Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai is a poignant exploration of love, regret, and personal growth. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that has ended, leaving the protagonist to reflect on their past actions and the emotional journey that follows. The imagery of walking behind someone and watching their back suggests a sense of distance and unspoken feelings, while the rain symbolizes the emotional turmoil and the protagonist's inability to face the reality of their situation.

The lyrics reveal that the protagonist was too close to the person they loved to realize their true feelings. This realization comes too late, as the dream of saying goodbye becomes a painful reality. The protagonist acknowledges their weakness and inability to protect their loved one, which is metaphorically represented by the continuous, cutting rain. This rain not only signifies the protagonist's sorrow but also their understanding of the strength and comforting words that they lacked.

As the song progresses, the protagonist reflects on the final moments of their relationship, replaying the last words and the tears shed. The imagery of a hand reaching out but appearing dirty suggests a sense of guilt and unworthiness. Despite the regret and the realization that it is too late to change the past, the protagonist vows to never forget the important lessons learned from their loved one's tears. The song concludes with a sense of personal growth, as the protagonist decides to move forward without losing sight of the strength and love that once surrounded them.
