WISH (Japanese Version)

NCT WISH's 'WISH (Japanese Version)' is a vibrant anthem of hope, dreams, and unwavering determination. The song opens with a declaration of the future being in their hands, setting the tone for a journey of self-belief and aspiration. The lyrics emphasize the power of wishes and dreams, portraying them as the driving force behind their actions and ambitions. The repeated phrase 'It's my wish' underscores a personal commitment to making their dreams a reality, reflecting a universal theme of striving for one's goals.

The song's imagery is rich with metaphors that evoke a sense of youthful energy and optimism. Phrases like '眩しいほど 青い今日' (a dazzlingly blue today) and '白いスニーカー履いて' (wearing white sneakers) paint a picture of a fresh start and boundless possibilities. The mention of 'ユメの中で触れた Madness' (touched madness in a dream) suggests that their dreams are not just aspirations but vivid, almost tangible experiences that fuel their passion. The lyrics also highlight the importance of companionship and shared dreams, as seen in lines like 'キミなしでは意味すらないんだ' (without you, it has no meaning), emphasizing that their journey is incomplete without the presence and support of loved ones.

Culturally, the song resonates with the Japanese concept of 'ganbaru,' which means to do one's best and persevere. This is evident in the lines 'Keep on, keep on loving, babe' and '突き進もう The wish's complete' (let's push forward, the wish's complete), which encourage persistence and resilience. The upbeat tempo and energetic delivery of the song further amplify its message of positivity and forward momentum. NCT WISH, known for their dynamic performances and diverse musical styles, encapsulates the spirit of youthful ambition and the power of dreams in this track, making it a motivational anthem for listeners.
