NEW LOOK

MISAMO's 'NEW LOOK' is a vibrant anthem celebrating self-expression and the desire for transformation. The song's lyrics revolve around the protagonist's yearning to reinvent herself, inspired by iconic fashion figures like Twiggy. Twiggy, a 1960s fashion icon known for her androgynous look and mini-skirts, symbolizes a bold and transformative style. The protagonist mimics Twiggy's mini-skirt and short hair, which earns her the label of 'tomboy,' but she is eager to find a new look that better suits her evolving character.

The song captures the playful and aspirational spirit of young women who see everyday activities, like walking in the park, as opportunities to feel like supermodels. The lyrics 'We're so hot, we're so fly' emphasize a sense of confidence and self-assuredness. Despite facing setbacks, such as tripping and falling or dealing with heartbreak, the protagonist remains determined to reinvent herself and not give up. This resilience is highlighted in the lines 'このままで終れない生まれ変わりたい' (I don't want to end like this, I want to be reborn).

'NEW LOOK' also touches on the influence of trends and societal expectations. The protagonist is keenly aware of what's 'in' and 'out,' and she frequents popular salons and shops to stay updated with the latest fashions. This reflects a broader commentary on the pressures young women face to conform to ever-changing beauty standards. However, the song ultimately champions individuality and the pursuit of a personal style that makes one feel like a 'cover girl.' The repeated plea, 'How do I look? Baby, baby, tell me,' underscores the universal desire for validation and acceptance in one's journey of self-discovery and transformation.
