Koi Ni Naritai Aquarium

The song 'Koi Ni Naritai Aquarium' by Love Live! School Idol Project is a whimsical and enchanting exploration of young love, set against the backdrop of an aquarium. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of an underwater world where the protagonist and their love interest experience a magical connection. The opening lines, 'Sorairo Kaaten Open! umi iro Geeto Welcome! A-so-bi-ma-shou,' invite listeners into this fantastical setting, where the sea and sky blend seamlessly, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

The song uses the metaphor of an aquarium to symbolize a safe and contained environment where love can blossom. The imagery of fish partying and the protagonist's ability to breathe underwater despite the oddity ('Nande mizu no naka demo iki ga dekiru no?') suggests a suspension of reality, emphasizing the surreal and magical nature of falling in love. The repeated references to 'puka puka' (floating) and 'awa awa' (bubbles) evoke a sense of lightness and joy, mirroring the feelings of infatuation and excitement that come with new love.

As the song progresses, the protagonist becomes more confident in expressing their feelings. Lines like 'Daisuki wa mou kakusanai!' (I won't hide my love anymore) and 'Hontou no kimochi korekara sunao ni natte miyou' (Let's be honest about our true feelings from now on) highlight a journey towards emotional honesty and boldness. The aquarium setting serves as a metaphor for the protagonist's inner world, where they navigate their emotions and ultimately decide to embrace their love openly. The song's upbeat tempo and cheerful melody further enhance the theme of youthful exuberance and the transformative power of love.
