Himitsu Kichi

In 'Himitsu Kichi,' Kessoku Band invites listeners into a world of personal refuge and boundless creativity. The song's title, which translates to 'Secret Base,' sets the stage for a journey into a private sanctuary where the protagonist can escape the mundane aspects of daily life. The lyrics open with a sense of resignation to the routine, suggesting that the day will be wasted again. However, this is quickly countered by the invitation to visit the 'secret base,' a place of solace and imagination.

The song paints vivid imagery of this secret base, describing it as a place where time seems to lose its meaning and where the protagonist can freely explore their thoughts and memories. The metaphor of 'scuba diving' into a new world when closing one's eyes emphasizes the depth and immersion of this imaginative space. The walls of the secret base are likened to a canvas for graffiti, symbolizing the freedom to create and express without limitations. This sanctuary is depicted as a treasure trove of personal value, filled with the protagonist's unique and cherished imaginings.

'Himitsu Kichi' also touches on the pressures of conforming to societal expectations, such as maintaining a regular lifestyle and avoiding late nights. Despite these pressures, the protagonist finds solace in their secret base, a place where they can be true to themselves. The song celebrates the idea of having a personal space that is untouched by external judgments and filled with one's passions and dreams. The recurring theme of the 'secret base' serves as a metaphor for the inner world of creativity and freedom that everyone can access, making each day a treasure in its own right.
