Tenkyu

Naruto's song 'Tenkyu' is a heartfelt expression of gratitude and the simple joys of connection. The lyrics revolve around the theme of appreciating the small, everyday moments that bring people together. The repeated use of 'atarimae' (meaning 'natural' or 'obvious') emphasizes how these moments, though seemingly ordinary, hold significant emotional value. When the singer mentions calling someone's name and having them sit beside them or sharing a laugh, it highlights the comfort and warmth found in these interactions.

The chorus, with lines like 'Daisuki dayo tenkyu' (I love you, thank you) and 'Korekara mo tenkyu' (From now on, thank you), underscores a deep sense of appreciation. The imagery of a forest swaying and dancing to a rhythm suggests a harmonious and joyful existence, where even nature participates in the celebration of life. The song also touches on the idea of serendipity, as seen in 'Guuzen ni tenkyu' (Thank you by chance), suggesting that even unexpected moments can bring happiness and should be cherished.

Naruto also addresses the importance of being present and acknowledging emotions. The lyrics mention a day when someone cried and how those tears were significant, indicating that sharing both joy and sorrow strengthens bonds. The song encourages expressing genuine feelings, as seen in 'Sunao na omoi wa kokoro de yobu yori' (Rather than calling out honest feelings from the heart), urging listeners to voice their emotions openly. 'Tenkyu' is a beautiful reminder to appreciate the people and moments that make life meaningful, celebrating both the ordinary and extraordinary aspects of human connection.
