ひらがなけやき
Keyakizaka46 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
風の中を歩く私を
通学路に新しい制服
転校して来たの 秋が始まる頃
一本の欅から 色づいてくように
この街に少しずつ 馴染んで行けたらいい
昨日とは違う表情の 青空が生まれる
少し みんなとは離れて
不安そうに歩く私に
声を掛けてくれたクラスメイト
隣に並んだら 古い親友みたい
街角の欅って いつだってやさしい
通ってたあの道も おんなじ風景で
来年の若葉には 何を想うだろう
思い出がいくつも重なって
木漏れ日が生まれる
これからよろしく ひらがなのように
素直な自分で ありのまま
一本の欅から 色づいてくように
この街に少しずつ 馴染んで行けたらいい
舞い落ちる枯葉たち 季節を着替えて
昨日とは違う表情の 青空が生まれる
The song "Hiragana Keyaki" by Keyakizaka46 is a song about a new student who has just transferred to a school during the start of autumn. The song is written from the perspective of the new student, who is walking alone in the wind. The new student hopes to gradually become familiar with the town, just like how the leaves on the keyaki tree gradually change colors. The song talks about the kind keyaki trees that always appear to be gentle in the town as well as the scenery that remains the same even though the new student is experiencing a new and different life.
As the song progresses, the new student is approached by a classmate who helps them become more comfortable in their new environment. The new student is able to make new memories in the town and hopes to continue to grow and fit in, while still being true to themselves. The song ends with the new student welcoming the future with an open mind and a sincere and honest self.
Overall, the song is a beautiful representation of the emotions involved when starting anew in an unfamiliar place. It encapsulates the feeling of being lost and uncertain, but also the hope and desire to belong and grow.

It makes me cry every time. They have come so far, and I’m so proud of them. I hope Hinatazaka46 will release this at a re-record in the future, like they did with NO WAR and Dareyorimo Takakutobe, because it would be beautiful for them to honour Memi, Mao, Neru and the rest of HiraganaKeyaki who have decided to graduate.💙

ここ1年で日向坂から始まり乃木坂⇨櫻坂で坂道アイドルをある程度網羅して自分はここが原点でスタートなんやな、ここ1年で坂道を知って色々と感慨深い
@hansyasinkei1
同じルートで草。けやかけ本当にたまに見てて、気が付いたらがな推しとかいう番組始まってて
なんかこの子たちの方が可愛くね？とか思い始めて、そっから徐々にひなあい見るようになって
乃木中も追うようになって、最終的にBuddiesになってもうた。まあどっちも好きだけどね
