Onlywonder

Frederic's song 'Onlywonder' is a vibrant anthem celebrating individuality and authenticity. The lyrics emphasize the importance of being true to oneself, regardless of societal expectations or pressures. The repeated phrase 'きみはきみのもの' (you are your own) underscores the message that each person should embrace their unique identity and not conform to others' standards. This theme is further highlighted by the lines 'だからあなたはあなた、私は私、君は君なんだ' (so you are you, I am me, you are you), which reinforce the idea that everyone is distinct and valuable in their own right.

The song also addresses the concept of self-worth and the futility of comparing oneself to others. The lyrics 'いちばんなんかならなくたってきみがわらったんだ' (even if you don't become number one, you smiled) suggest that happiness and fulfillment come from within, not from external validation or achieving a certain status. This is a powerful reminder that personal joy and contentment are more important than societal accolades or rankings.

Culturally, 'Onlywonder' resonates with the Japanese concept of 'jibun rashiku' (being oneself), which encourages individuals to live authentically and embrace their true selves. Frederic's energetic and upbeat musical style complements the song's positive and empowering message, making it an uplifting anthem for anyone struggling with self-acceptance or societal pressures. The use of metaphors like 'とびらをひらくのはワンダーテンダーオンリーワンなんだ' (the one who opens the door is the only one) further illustrates the idea that each person has the power to shape their own destiny and find their unique path in life.
