Someday Somebody
Aya Hisakawa (久川綾)
Dreams of Love and Serendipity
“Someday Somebody” by Hisakawa Aya is a whimsical and hopeful song that captures the essence of youthful dreams and the anticipation of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a serene spring day, where the gentle breeze and the sunlight create a perfect atmosphere for daydreaming. The protagonist finds herself in a state of contentment, as the wind turns the pages of her book and even her previously downcast feelings transform into smiles. This imagery sets the stage for the song’s central theme: the magical and transformative power of love.
The recurring motif of “Dreamin’” underscores the protagonist’s longing for a romantic encounter. She imagines the possibility of love as a chance that isn’t defined in any dictionary, suggesting that love is an unpredictable and unique experience. The scent of her hair rinse and the feeling of anticipation hint at the sensory and emotional aspects of falling in love. The protagonist’s desire to be called by her name in a gentle voice and to respond with the brightest smile reflects her yearning for a genuine and heartfelt connection.
The song also touches on the idea of serendipity and the magic of everyday moments. The protagonist walks on tiptoes, passing by couples who whisper sweet nothings to each other, and she dreams of experiencing such moments herself. The lyrics convey a sense of wonder and the belief that love can change one’s world in an instant. The light dress and white loafers symbolize purity and new beginnings, encapsulating the innocence and excitement of first love. “Someday Somebody” is a beautiful ode to the dreams and hopes that accompany the journey of finding love.
