Romance Ga Ariamaru

Gesu no Kiwami Otome's song "Romance Ga Ariamaru" delves into the complexities of love and the feeling of having an abundance of romance that one doesn't quite know how to handle. The repeated line, "ぼくにはありあまる ロマンスがありあまる" (I have an excess of romance), sets the tone for the entire song, suggesting a sense of being overwhelmed by emotions and the luxuries of love. The protagonist reflects on their indulgence, feeling as though they have perhaps taken too much, leading to a sense of guilt or unease.

The lyrics paint vivid imagery, such as the sight of an empty wine bottle symbolizing the protagonist's desolate heart. This metaphor highlights the emptiness that can accompany excess, where the pursuit of sophistication and elegance may lead to a hollow feeling. The protagonist's musings about whether they have overreached or been disliked add a layer of self-doubt and introspection, showing a struggle to balance their desires with their reality.

The song also touches on the idea of unattainable beauty and the allure of the unreachable. The protagonist acknowledges that their cries and lies won't reach the person they long for, making the unattainable even more beautiful. This theme is further emphasized by the line, "信じてくれよ 名前も知らぬ誰かがぼくの音をさらった" (Believe me, someone whose name I don't even know has stolen my sound), suggesting a sense of loss and longing for something or someone just out of reach. The song captures the bittersweet nature of love and the human tendency to yearn for what we cannot have, making it a poignant reflection on the excesses and emotional turmoil of romance.
