Kashimiya No Hohoemi
Junko Yagami Lyrics

The lyrics of Junko Yagami's song "Kashimiya No Hohoemi" describe a city with glass buildings and neon lights that resemble an "illuminated" area. The city is filled with people on the weekends, and they look up towards the sky with the same intention of reaching the top of the world. This city seems to be cold and uninviting, as the people are all strangers and there is no sense of warmth. But then the lyrics shift and describe someone who stands out in the crowd like a bright spot of moonlight cutting through the darkness. This person is not flashy or conspicuous, but their presence brings a radiance to the city. The metaphorical "moonlight" symbolizes gentle warmth that is needed to counteract the coldness and isolation. The song then shifts to a reflection of reminiscing a season with an important person who was like that "moonlight" to them. It was the first season after moving to the city, during a warm winter, and the person's kindness never changed. They were someone that the singer wanted to treasure since they had changed their life for the better.

The lyrics then describe the city at night, with street lamps shining and the city lights dimming. The singer is reminded of the "moonlight" person and how they brought light to their life. The metaphor of the "moonlight" represents comfort and reassurance during dark times. As the night gets darker, the light emitted from the person in the singer's life remains, and it never falters. They then express how they could see their "moonlight" always shining with a single beam of light, and they hope that it will continue to shine forever. The song concludes by reinstating that the "moonlight" person may not be noticed by many, but they hold great significance in the singer's life.
