キミと二人
見てる景色は色褪せないさ
I promise you 声を合わせて

幸せ過ぎて不安なの
贅沢過ぎる悩みだよ
Always happiness
変わらずこのままでいよう
1＋1から成る2じゃなくて
日々増す100にだって
していけると感じてるよ
キミとだから
いつもDon't worry
キミと二人

やがて色とりどりの花を咲かす
まるで七色のロード

The lyrics to The Pockets's song "La la" convey a message of reassurance and love. The opening lines, "いつもDon't worry, キミと二人" (Don't worry, we're always together), suggest a sense of security and a commitment to being there for each other. The following line, "見てる景色は色褪せないさ" (The view we see won't fade), emphasizes the lasting nature of their bond. The repetition of "La la" throughout the song, coupled with lines like "何が起きたって大丈夫だって 愛は勝つんだ" (No matter what happens, love will prevail), serves to reinforce the idea of love conquering any difficulties or obstacles.
The lyrics also touch upon the concept of happiness and the singer's realization that their worries may be considered luxurious compared to their overall happiness. They express contentment with simplicity, as seen in the line "変わらずこのままでいよう" (Let's stay the way we are).
The lyrics continue with a theme of togetherness and the idea that the combination of the singer and their loved one is greater than just the sum of two individuals. The line "1＋１から成る２じゃなくて、日々増す100にだってしていけると感じてるよ" (Not just 1+1 equals 2, but I feel we can make it to 100 that keeps increasing every day) suggests that their bond transcends simple arithmetic and grows stronger with time.
Overall, "La la" conveys a message of unwavering love, trust, and the power of staying together through any challenges that may arise.

If you’re a new viewer, let me tell you something: I’ve been subscribed to this channel for a long time and this dude is the most consistent with keeping the integrity of the channel. Seriously, he’s a gem. He’s not fake, he doesn’t clickbait you, and he treats his fans like good buddies of his. It’s nice to see even after all these years he hasn’t changed :)
J. Noone
Beast really is the man.
