Koi Kogare

Man With a Mission's song 'Koi Kogare' delves into the profound and universal quest for love and beauty amidst chaos and hardship. The lyrics, a blend of Japanese and English, reflect a deep yearning for a world where love prevails over adversity. The phrase 'I call the elemental name of love' suggests an invocation of love's purest form, a force that can transcend the turmoil of life.

The song speaks to the relentless search for love ('ずっと探していたんだ' - 'I've been searching all along') and the struggles encountered along the way. The imagery of nights without end and the chaos of the times ('不条理が纏い通る' - 'Absurdity wraps around and passes through') paints a picture of a world in disarray. Yet, even in such a world, the singer falls in love, finding solace and hope in the presence of a beloved person whose graceful movements open paths to dreams ('しなやかに舞う君の輪が 夢が通る道を開く').

The chorus expresses a desire to love and protect gentle people, to laugh together, and to reach out for dreams ('愛し合って笑いたいな 優しい人たちを全部守りたいな'). This longing is not just for personal happiness but for a collective well-being, a beautiful world where everyone can thrive. The song's bridge and final verses reinforce this message, urging trust and resilience in the face of life's cruel ocean, and a belief in the possibility of a beautiful, unknown world ('美しい世界に 恋焦がれて').

'Koi Kogare' is a powerful anthem of hope, love, and resilience, encouraging listeners to hold on to their dreams and to believe in the transformative power of love, even in the darkest times.
