Colors
Takeshi Asakawa Lyrics

The song "Colors" by Takeshi Asakawa inspires the listeners to create a new world for themselves as they face their inner struggles. The lyrics tell us that every moment, however difficult it may seem, is an opportunity for change. It urges us to face our fears, insecurities and doubts, and come out victorious. The lines "Jibun wo sekai sae mo kaete shimaesou na/Shunkan ha itsumo sugu soba ni..." (I can change even the world/Having the moment right beside me) reflect the idea that we have the power to transform our reality. No matter how much we wish to escape from it, our problems will always be there. We must instead learn to confront them and come out better on the other side.

The verses also talk about the importance of receiving encouraging words when we’re feeling lost. "Kimi ga kureta kotoba hitotsu tomadoi ha kiesari/Karappo datta boku no heya ni hikari ga sashita" (The words you gave me dispelled my confusion/Lit up the darkness in my empty room) suggest that even a single word of kindness can brighten up an otherwise gloomy situation. By keeping our hopes alive, we can find our way out of our despair. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the idea of looking inside oneself to find strength, "Jibun wo sekai sae mo kaete shimaesou na/Sonzai ha boku no me no mae ni" (I can change even the world/Your existence is right before me).
