FU-JI-TSU
工藤静香 Lyrics

The song "FU-JI-TSU" by Kudo Shizuka is about a reunion between two people who had a past together. The lyrics describe how, on this small planet, the two are bound to meet again, even if they parted ways before. However, despite the highlights and memories they shared, they don't want to see each other again. Perhaps they've grown up, and they don't know what to say to each other anymore, or maybe they no longer want to risk wasting what little they had left by seeing each other again. The lyrics reflect an internal struggle between the past and present, and maybe the fear that whatever happens, things will never be the same again.

The title "FU-JI-TSU" means "incomplete" or "unfaithful," and it's a recurring theme throughout the song. The singer seems to be playing a role, like a street-corner clown (街角ピエロ), and the lyrics point to something fake or untrue about her story or character. But what exactly that is is unclear -- maybe she's only pretending to be happy, perhaps she's not telling the whole truth about her feelings, or maybe she's not who she presents herself as. The other person's expression seems to question it, and the singer is unsure what to make of their meeting. Overall, "FU-JI-TSU" is a bittersweet reflection on love, memory, and regret.
