喜劇 (Comedy)

Hoshino Gen's song "喜劇 (Comedy)" is a poetic exploration of life's absurdities and the beauty found in everyday moments shared with loved ones. The lyrics paint a picture of a world that is often chaotic and challenging, yet they also highlight the personal resolve to find one's place and happiness within it. The song begins with a reflection on feeling like an outsider from birth and the struggles that come with living on a 'playful' planet that seems on the brink of destruction. Despite the tears and the feeling of not belonging, the protagonist finds solace in the realization that a sense of place is something to be created, not just found.

The chorus of the song brings a shift in tone, focusing on the simple joys of life, such as deciding what to eat and wanting to share everyday experiences with someone special. This shift suggests that life, despite its trials, can be a comedy when shared with the right person. The imagery of dancing on a creaking bed and laughing together encapsulates the idea that happiness is found in the shared, imperfect moments. The song also touches on themes of breaking free from societal expectations and finding one's own light and path.

Towards the end, the lyrics express gratitude for companionship and the miracles of everyday life, like walking home with a friend as the sunrise greets them. The repeated desire to talk about even the mundane aspects of life with a loved one reinforces the message that the essence of life's comedy is in the connection with others and the shared journey through life's ups and downs. Hoshino Gen's song is a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit and the joy that can be found in embracing life's comedy together.
