Guru Koi

Chico With Honeyworks' song 'Guru Koi' delves into the whirlwind of emotions and experiences that come with infatuation and devotion. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person caught in a loop of longing and admiration for someone who seems just out of reach. The repeated phrases 'リセットループ' (reset loop) and 'ぐるぐるぐるぐる' (whirlwind) emphasize the cyclical nature of their feelings, as they continuously reset and revolve around their object of affection.

The song explores the desire to connect, both emotionally and physically, with the person they admire. Lines like '繋ぎたいその点と点' (I want to connect those dots) and '繋げないその手と手' (I can't connect those hands) highlight the struggle and frustration of unfulfilled desires. Despite financial constraints and the inability to go on dates, the protagonist remains steadfast in their devotion, willing to do anything to see the next chapter of their story unfold.

The chorus, with its repetitive and catchy 'Ah! ぐるぐるぐるぐる恋模様' (Ah! Whirlwind of love patterns), captures the essence of their emotional turmoil and the sweet agony of unrequited love. The protagonist's obsession is further illustrated by their need to obtain a special card, symbolizing a token of their beloved's affection. The song's bridge invites the listener into a 'special world' where the protagonist's love and devotion are celebrated, culminating in a declaration of gratitude and unwavering admiration for their '推し' (favorite person).

'Guru Koi' is a testament to the intensity of youthful infatuation and the lengths one will go to in the name of love. It captures the highs and lows of romantic obsession, making it a relatable and emotionally charged anthem for anyone who has ever experienced the dizzying effects of a crush.
