Futari No Sea Side

Tommy February6's song 'Futari No Sea Side' is a poignant exploration of nostalgia and lost love, set against the backdrop of a seaside drive. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a past relationship that lingers in the memory of the protagonist, evoking a sense of longing and melancholy. The song opens with the imagery of driving along the beach, with the car radio playing a tune that stirs up bittersweet memories. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the protagonist reflects on a time when their partner was their only dream.

The recurring motif of candy bars, specifically 'milk tea flavor,' serves as a metaphor for the sweetness and subsequent bitterness of the memories. The protagonist's tears are described as being 'too sweet,' indicating that the memories, while cherished, are also painful. The promise made under the starlight, now washed away by the waves, symbolizes the fleeting nature of their love. Despite attempts to move on, the protagonist finds it difficult to erase their former lover's number from their diary, highlighting the struggle to let go.

The song's chorus, 'Futari no shi-saido' (Our Seaside), encapsulates the essence of their shared memories, now sealed with tears. The imagery of the sea breeze and the phantom-like encounters with the lover's shadow further emphasize the haunting nature of these memories. Even though the protagonist knows they can't return to those days, they remain trapped in a dream-like state, unable to fully wake up from the sweet yet painful recollections. The song concludes with the protagonist acknowledging that they are still sent off by these sweet memories, shimmering like stars, unable to move on from their 'Futari no Sea Side.'
