夢じゃないほうが
いいじゃない そうだ
ふるえているよ
プルプルまるで赤色のjelly
迷い込んだ この場所で
みつけたんだ 僕がどんなに
思い込んでたの
それは偶然 だけどきっと
キミは当然 だって言うよね
そんな僕は 自信がない
すぐにダメだって 思い込んでいた
いつもそうなんだ
だけどそうなんだ
これは当然って 思い込んだんだ
夢じゃないほうが
いいじゃない そうだ
ふるえているよ
プルプルまるで赤色のjelly
jelly jelly jelly
迷い込んだ あの場所で
みつけたんだ 僕がどんなに
求めても 手に入んない
思い込んでたの
それは偶然 だけどきっと
キミは当然 だって言うよね
そんな僕は 自信がない
すぐにダメだって 思い込んでいた
いつもそうなんだ
だけどそうなんだ
これは当然って 思い込んだんだ
夢じゃないほうが

ふるえているよ
プルプルまるで赤色のjelly
プルプルまるで赤色のjelly
その小瓶の リボンを解いて
銀の蓋を 開けると

The lyrics to "Jelly" by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu convey a sense of self-doubt and uncertainty, as well as the desire to believe in something that may not be realistic. The singer is convinced that it's better if their dreams aren't real, expressing that trembling feeling as they compare themselves to a red jelly. They find themselves lost in a place where they realize they can never obtain what they truly desire, yet they still hold onto their conviction.
There is an underlying theme of chance and inevitability, as the singer believes that their encounter with someone special was a mere coincidence but also feels that it was destined to happen. However, they lack confidence, always thinking they will fail, yet still holding onto the belief that this situation is natural and expected. The repetition of the phrase "夢じゃないほうがいい" (it's better if it's not a dream) suggests a complex mix of hope and fear in the singer's mindset.
Overall, the lyrics of "Jelly" reflect the singer's struggle with self-doubt, their desire for something that may not be attainable, and their conflicted emotions regarding the nature of their relationship.

What’s the story behind this??
There’s people in the comments talking about other artists singing capsules songs but nobody actually went into detail on why it’s happened here or in other situations either
... was it a mistake/accident??
Did they both record the song and the producer went with capsules as the official one because they thought it was more fitting for that artist but it was leaked at some point and that’s why we are hearing this kyary version now??
Are these things happening(other artists singing capsule music) like a bonus treat for fans?? Or is it something more like the producer is being neglectful with capsule music and letting it fall into the hands of his other artists??
What’s going on with these? Why didn’t anyone go into further detail in the comments??

La verdad es que la chica es preciosa, tiene una voz HERRRMOSA y hace unos temazos...
Increíble!
Apenas hoy la descubrí gracias a un vídeo de Overwatch.
Porque incluso le pegaba al personaje. Hshshshshshshhsh

Tuviste una buena adolescencia :']
@ladeojitosclaros7304
@Arsenor Dovah Brendom Dinok total. Amé ser rarita, me dejó experiencias que solo yo puedo apreciar, como estos artistas de otro continente uwu
@aruseninvalinor5262
@LaDeOjitosClaros . Qué bonito, loco! Esta mujer me recuerda a las de Baby Metal y Lady Baby, pero sin ser metal.
No sé, el rollo súper cute que tienen...
Aunque sinceramente... Esta chica canta mejor. Me gusta más.
Japón es una maravilla.
Y bueno, ahora que encontré a esta cantante, más ganas de ir.
Ojalá verla algún día.
