Billet - Osanaki Natsu No Binsen

Lareine's song 'Billet - Osanaki Natsu No Binsen' is a poignant exploration of unrequited love and the passage of time. The lyrics, filled with a sense of longing and nostalgia, tell the story of a love letter written in tears, a message that the singer desperately wishes to be delivered to their beloved. The repeated plea, 'dare ka todokete yo love letter' (someone, please deliver this love letter), underscores the depth of the singer's emotions and the pain of their unfulfilled love.

The song paints a vivid picture of a love that has faded into the past, much like the setting sun in the west ('nishi e shizunda kataomoi wa'). The imagery of a glass-like, forgotten love ('wasureta hasu no garasu no koi') and the summer wind that has left the singer behind ('mou sugisagatta natsu no kaze wa boku o okizari ni shita') evokes a sense of abandonment and the fleeting nature of youthful dreams. The clouds that will never return ('nagaredashita kumo wa nido to todoka nai no?') symbolize the irreversible passage of time and the bittersweet memories of a love that could never be.

In the final verses, the song shifts to French, adding a layer of romanticism and universality to the theme. The singer reminisces about a girl from their youth, a dream that they continue to search for, holding onto hope like an undying flower ('je garde espoir, c'est comme une fleur qui ne mourir jamais'). This blend of languages and the recurring motif of the undelivered love letter create a timeless narrative of love, loss, and the enduring hope that one day, the message will reach its intended recipient.
