Say, Yes!

The song 'Say, Yes!' by Bubblegum Crisis is a powerful anthem of resilience, self-belief, and the pursuit of freedom. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of overcoming adversity and embracing one's inner strength. The opening lines, 'kimi wa kaze no you ni, aoku chigire nagara / ASUFARUTO ni kieta,' evoke an image of someone disappearing like the wind, suggesting a sense of loss or struggle. However, the resolve to never give up, as expressed in 'kesshite makenai to itta ano hi no koe,' sets the tone for the song's message of perseverance.

The chorus, with its repeated calls to 'Say, Yes!' emphasizes living passionately and fully, despite the loneliness and challenges one might face. The lines 'kinou yori mo atsuku ikiru dake / iyasenai kodoku wo shitta kara' highlight the importance of living more intensely than yesterday and acknowledging the deep loneliness that cannot be healed. This acknowledgment of pain and the decision to live fervently in spite of it is a testament to the human spirit's resilience.

The song also touches on themes of freedom and the pursuit of dreams. The imagery of 'kabe no ushirogawa, nanika kirameku no sa / sore wa yoru no NAIFU' suggests hidden dangers and the sharpness of night, yet there is a determination to protect one's dreams, as seen in 'kimi ga kakushite'ta, yume no ERIA dake wa / watasanai yo Forever.' The repeated affirmations of 'I CAN BE / I CAN DO / I CAN SING / I CAN LIVE' serve as a powerful mantra, reinforcing the belief in one's capabilities and the desire to reach out and connect with others who share this spirit of resilience and freedom.
