WATASHI wa UTA ga HETA

Kotoko's song "WATASHI wa UTA ga HETA" is a playful and self-aware exploration of the artist's perceived lack of singing talent. The title itself translates to "I Am Bad at Singing," setting the tone for a humorous and candid reflection on her musical abilities. Throughout the lyrics, Kotoko repeatedly emphasizes her struggle with singing, using phrases like "Honki de UTA ga HETA" (I'm really bad at singing) and "Muchakucha UTA ga HETA" (I'm terribly bad at singing). This self-deprecating humor is a central theme, as she acknowledges her shortcomings with a light-hearted and almost defiant attitude.

Despite her self-proclaimed lack of talent, Kotoko finds joy and freedom in singing. She mentions various types of songs, from love songs to life songs, and even mundane activities like shopping and cooking. This variety highlights her belief that singing is not just about technical skill but also about personal expression and enjoyment. The line "Suki ni Utaeru WATASHI no UTA" (I can sing my song as I like) encapsulates this sentiment, suggesting that the act of singing itself is valuable, regardless of proficiency.

The song also touches on the idea of perseverance and acceptance. Kotoko humorously describes different methods she has tried to improve her singing, such as practicing and even eating fish, but ultimately concludes that her singing won't improve. This acceptance of her limitations is coupled with a sense of resilience and determination to continue singing anyway. The playful tone and whimsical lyrics create an atmosphere of lightheartedness, encouraging listeners to embrace their imperfections and find joy in their passions, no matter their skill level.
