KONA WIND
杉山清貴 Lyrics

The lyrics to "KONA WIND" by 杉山清貴 speak to the power of shared experiences and emotions, and the importance of taking it easy and enjoying the journey. The opening verses describe sharing tears with someone who is experiencing the same pain as the singer ("同じ痛みに涙流して"), but then encouraging that person to "take it easy" and enjoy the ride. The imagery of a hot west wind blowing into the sheet (presumably of a truck or car) on a dusty, Pacific Ocean-bound road captures the sense of adventure and possibility that lies ahead.

The song then speaks to the desire to hold onto those fleeting moments of beauty and joy, as the singer longs to keep looking at the person they are with ("終わらぬ夏とずっとお前を見つめていたいのさ"). They compare themselves to an aging boy pursuing dreams of catching a marlin, and express just how much they love their companion ("こんなに愛してる"). The final verse repeats the earlier themes of shared experiences, with both the singer and their partner smiling as they drive through the same scenery together.

Overall, "KONA WIND" celebrates the joys of living in the moment, experiencing the world with someone you care about, and finding beauty and magic in the world around us.
