Hikaru mono to kawaii mono
Suki na toko wa aikawarazu dakedo

Overall Meaning

The song "My Name's Women" by Ayumi Hamasaki expresses the complexities and contradictions of being a woman in modern society. The lyrics start by stating that liking shiny things and cute things is something that doesn't change, but being cooler and tougher is also important in today's world. The singer questions the transience of time and how people change, but tears always seem to be constant. Despite this, she acknowledges that it's not easy to cry, and even though she may be dependent at times, her kind of vulnerability is not that of a fragile doll. The song then speaks of moments when laughter doesn't come easy, and while different people face diverse situations, it's essential to remember that there's no giving up. The chorus reminds everyone that just because they dream of being something greater doesn't mean that they are dolls. Even if someone did try to rule everything, they wouldn't be dolls that only dreamt of success. The final message is a call to remember that humans are not simple creatures and that it's critical to retain the complexity of life even when simplification seems necessary.
