Fanfare

BRADIO's song "Fanfare" is a vibrant anthem that encourages listeners to embrace their true selves and live life with joy and resilience. The lyrics convey a message of authenticity, urging individuals to be honest with themselves and not conform to societal expectations. The line "こころにうそがないってだけで" (Just by not lying to your heart) suggests that being true to oneself can bring clarity and happiness, symbolized by the blue sky. This theme is reinforced by the recurring phrase "Don't stop believin'", which serves as a motivational reminder to keep faith in one's dreams and aspirations.

The song also addresses the struggles of maintaining a facade and the importance of self-acceptance. The lyrics "むりしたえがおはmēdē" (A forced smile is a mayday) highlight the emotional toll of pretending to be someone you're not. BRADIO encourages listeners to celebrate their individuality and to find joy in their passions, as expressed in the lines "たにんのためにがんばらないで / じぶんをほめてほめちぎれよ" (Don't work hard for others / Praise yourself lavishly). This message is a call to prioritize personal happiness and self-worth over external validation.

The concept of "fanfare" in the song symbolizes the heartbeat of life and the excitement of new beginnings. The lyrics "からだをめぐるいきるよろこび / みゃくうつこどうそれはfanfāre" (The joy of living circulates through the body / The pulsating heartbeat is a fanfare) celebrate the vitality and enthusiasm that come with embracing life's journey. The song acknowledges that mistakes and regrets are part of the process, but they contribute to personal growth and resilience. The line "むだなことなどなにひとつない / あのひのこうかいやしっぱいが / いまのぼくらをつくりあげている" (Nothing is wasted / The regrets and failures of that day / Are shaping who we are now) emphasizes that every experience, good or bad, is valuable in shaping one's identity.
