Stories

Hitomi Kuroishi's song 'Stories' is a poetic exploration of love, destiny, and the unknown. The lyrics convey a sense of embarking on a journey with a loved one, where the relationship itself is an unwritten story, full of potential and mystery. The repeated lines 'Anata wa watashi no sutooriizu' (You are my stories) and 'Yonda koto no nai monogatari' (A story never read) emphasize the uniqueness and novelty of this bond, suggesting that it is a tale yet to be told, filled with endless possibilities.

The imagery of 'Mishiranu kuni ga mieta' (I saw an unknown country) and 'Tobira ga hiraita sutooriizu' (A story with an open door) evokes a sense of adventure and discovery. This metaphorical 'unknown country' represents the uncharted territories of their relationship and life together. The open door symbolizes new beginnings and opportunities that come with embracing the unknown. The lyrics suggest that once this door is opened, it leads to a story that will never close again, highlighting the irreversible and transformative nature of their journey.

The song also touches on themes of protection and hope. The lines 'Anata o mamoritai' (I want to protect you) and 'Shikkoku no kono sekai ni Hikari afureru toki made' (Until light overflows in this jet-black world) express a deep desire to safeguard the loved one amidst a dark and uncertain world. This protective instinct is driven by pure emotion and a hope for a brighter future. The song beautifully captures the essence of love as a guiding light through the darkness, promising that as long as they are together, they can navigate any challenges that come their way.
