Kare no Kitchen
Chocolove from AKB48 Lyrics

The song "Kare no Kitchen" by AKB48 talks about the singer's admiration for her boyfriend's kitchen and his cooking skills. She longs to be as skilled in the kitchen as he is and seeks guidance from her mother and tries to improve her cooking skills overnight. However, she also feels pressure from her boyfriend and other people around her to be the ideal domestic partner by being a good cook. The lyrics also highlight the stereotype that cooking is a woman's job and that women are expected to be excellent in the kitchen.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the connection between love and cooking and how both require patience, practice, and skill to achieve success. The singer wants to impress her boyfriend with her cooking skills and become his ideal type. The idea of cooking being a measurement of a woman's ability to be a good partner and desirable to men is also prevalent in the song.

Overall, "Kare no Kitchen" captures the social expectations that women face regarding their domestic responsibilities and how their cooking skills can be used to measure their worthiness as partners. It also highlights the pressure that women feel to conform to these expectations and the desire to improve and excel in these traditionally female roles.
