Koibito

Shazna's song 'Koibito' is a poignant exploration of love, memory, and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that endures despite the changing seasons and the inevitable farewells. The opening lines describe an autumn sky, symbolizing the end of a romantic relationship. Yet, before saying goodbye, the narrator clings to intangible dreams, highlighting the ephemeral nature of love and the human desire to hold onto fleeting moments.

The song delves into the emotional turbulence experienced by lovers. The 'HEART tachi' (hearts) are described as being in a dazzling time, yet they are fragile like 'GIZAGIZA no Plastic' (jagged plastic). This metaphor suggests that while love can be bright and beautiful, it is also delicate and easily damaged. The recurring theme of dreams and memories, such as the 'yume no naka' (in dreams) and 'munesawagi' (heart palpitations), emphasizes the deep emotional impact of the relationship, even when it exists only in the mind.

'Eien ni koibitotachi wa' (Eternal lovers) suggests that true lovers are bound by the mysterious workings of the heart. The song questions whether the feelings of excitement and trembling emotions still linger, even after time has passed. The lyrics reflect on the miracle of meeting and the memories created, which, despite the flow of time, remain vivid. The song concludes with a promise of eternal love, whether awake or asleep, underscoring the enduring nature of true affection. The imagery of twilight and the gentle breeze carrying memories adds a nostalgic and almost ethereal quality to the song, making it a touching ode to everlasting love.
