The Reason Why

TWICE's song 'The Reason Why' is a heartfelt ode to unwavering companionship and the deep emotional bonds that tie people together. The lyrics express a commitment to being by someone's side through thick and thin, sharing both joy and sorrow. The repeated line, 'どんなときもいちばんそばにいるよ' (I'll always be by your side), underscores the theme of steadfast support and loyalty. This sentiment is further emphasized by the desire to walk together with the loved one, as expressed in 'あなたとあるいてゆきたい' (I want to walk with you).

The song also delves into the emotional depth of the relationship, highlighting the importance of understanding and communication. Even in moments of misunderstanding or when words fail, the bond remains unbroken, as seen in the lines 'Cry もしもふたり Someday すれちがい ことばをなくしてしまっても' (Even if we lose words someday). This suggests that the connection between the two is so strong that it transcends verbal communication, relying instead on a profound mutual understanding.

Culturally, the song reflects the values of loyalty and emotional resilience, which are significant in many East Asian societies. The idea that having one beloved person can make life less frightening and more meaningful is a universal theme that resonates deeply. The lyrics 'あいするひとがひとりいれば Can live こわくない' (If you have one person you love, you can live without fear) encapsulate this beautifully. TWICE's musical style, known for its catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics, enhances the emotional impact of the song, making 'The Reason Why' a touching tribute to the power of love and companionship.
