L.C.G

HANABIE's song 'L.C.G' delves into the complexities of growing up in a digital age, blending whimsical imagery with a critique of social media culture. The lyrics juxtapose childlike innocence with the pressures of adult expectations, creating a narrative that oscillates between playful and poignant. The opening lines, 'おとなのかいだんおりてきたぼくらのすとーりー / きえちゃうすとーりー,' suggest a transition from childhood to adulthood, a journey marked by fleeting moments and the relentless passage of time, symbolized by 'ちくたくチクトク' (tick-tock TikTok).

The song also addresses the desire for social media validation, with lines like 'エスエヌエスひゃくまんほしい / トリマタッピってすとーりー' (I want a million SNS likes / Just post a story). This reflects the modern obsession with online presence and the superficial metrics of success. The repeated phrase 'マジぴえんまる' (seriously, I'm crying) captures the emotional toll of this digital chase, blending internet slang with genuine sentiment.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the protagonist is grappling with the dissonance between reality and the idealized versions of life portrayed online. The lines 'ちょっとまってうらでんないよ / そうぞうにのまれてく' (Wait a minute, I can't see the back / I'm swallowed by imagination) highlight this struggle, suggesting a loss of self in the face of overwhelming digital influences. The song concludes with a sense of disillusionment, rejecting fairy-tale endings and embracing a more grounded, albeit chaotic, reality. 'もういらないおとぎばなし' (I don't need fairy tales anymore) signifies a departure from naive dreams towards a more authentic, albeit challenging, existence.
