The lyrics of MINMI's song "Hologram" explore the concept of a precious and dazzling existence that is intangible and cannot be touched. The opening line states that this existence is so important that it cannot be allowed to be touched by anyone and is therefore protected at all costs. The subject of the song is referred to as a hologram, which adds to the sense that they are a complex and multi-faceted being that is difficult to grasp in its entirety. The chorus invites the listener to play and fly together with the hologram, which represents the shared experience of a bigger and more vibrant reality. In the second verse, the distance between the singer and the hologram is acknowledged, and the lyrics express the desire to bridge this gap and reconnect through a simple expression of love. The final verse describes the future as a journey that the hologram is embarking on with the singer, carrying the hopes and aspirations of both.
The lyrics of "Hologram" offer a contemplative and philosophical take on the nature of human existence and the intangible aspects of reality. The use of the hologram as a metaphor represents the boundaries of what can be perceived with our senses and suggests the possibility of a greater and more complex form of existence. The message of the song is that this existence is something to be cherished and protected, and that by acknowledging and embracing it, we can take flight and soar to new heights of experience and emotion.

2 years later my chest still hurts while listing to this
@kurniafauzan3557

@roderickk.6053
@Kurnia Fauzan the anime ended with an open ending. As in, the mc still didn't get into a relationship
@kurniafauzan3557
@roderick k. ahhh yes it is
@raymondalejandro472
yes it is, I miss the manga and anime so much
@aaronadamson7463
@roderick k. yeah but the manga tied things up quite nicely.
@Ogudomon
Okay, if you only watched the anime, go to manga right now, this song is one of few things good on anime. The anime roughly cover over 3 volumes and few stuff that happens ahead and there are 22 volumes, as well cut off many interesting stuff. The story get even better and better and has one of most heartwarming ending. No wonder the manga is extremely well rated everywhere. It's a rare story where everyone has your spot, development and arc.
Jitsu wa, watashi wa... Is a masterpiece
@MUSIC3787
true and not 2 second of anime im mad so many shit get 4 season but not this
@Golden-my3zm
Makes me very emotional listening to this. I miss Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa. 😭
@adamkohut252
I know right? I'm so hoping for season 2!
