男と女
CHAGE & ASKA Lyrics

The CHAGE & ASKA song titled 男と女 or "Man and Woman" talks about a couple who have been walking together for quite some distance but eventually decided to part ways. It starts with the description of how everyone has this one point where they give up and turn back, but the couple has come to a point where the man's heart is already holding him back and is causing him to hesitate. The once smooth path has turned into a steep slope like that of a winter journey that has just begun, and the man had already started to roll down the slippery slope. As the woman watches him go, standing there trembling, she wipes away her tears at the back of the man and says goodbye.

The chorus part talks about how the woman wishes more warmth and love from the man. She wants to feel the presence of his love in such abundance that it overflows her. The woman confirms that she has agreed to the parting, but she wishes, at least, that they could part ways in a dignified manner. The song ends with lines that describe how men and women will forever be each other's support through thick and thin, and how the woman, in particular, has stacked up small dreams on top of each other and has believed in the man all along.
