Megumi No Ame

Yanagi Nagi's song 'Megumi No Ame' delves into the complexities of life's narratives and the often unrealistic expectations of perfect endings. The lyrics begin by highlighting the conventional 'happily ever after' that concludes many stories, a phrase that simplifies and glosses over the intricacies of real-life experiences. The artist reflects on how these endings leave much to be desired, as they fail to capture the ongoing struggles and aspirations that follow the so-called conclusion.

The song then transitions into a metaphorical exploration of rain versus snow as symbols for different types of endings. Yanagi Nagi suggests that if a story must end, it should do so with rain rather than snow. Rain, despite leaving one drenched, can be seen as a blessing to someone else. This metaphor underscores the idea that even in seemingly unfavorable circumstances, there can be elements of grace and growth. The rain allows one to keep their head up, symbolizing resilience and the potential for new beginnings.

Further into the song, the lyrics touch on the concept of a 'dark hero' who disrupts monotony and challenges the status quo. This character embodies the struggle against societal norms and the pursuit of authenticity, even if it leads to less-than-ideal outcomes. The song acknowledges the absence of a perfect happy ending, yet it emphasizes the importance of striving for meaningful experiences and connections. The final verses express a desire for a new beginning, symbolized by blooming flowers after the rain, signifying hope and the enduring impact of cherished memories.
