hatsukoi wa hatsudou dekinakatta

The lyrics of "Nisemono" by Friends speak about first love and the uncertainty and vulnerability that comes with it. The first verse describes how even the smartest and tallest individuals can't control the emotions that come with falling in love. The singer notes that they don't need words to express their feelings, they just need to be seen and understood by their love interest, and to be encouraged to become stronger. They compare themselves to a spiraling snail but express a desire to be drawn up to the sky with their partner's antenna - they want to be closer and more connected.
The chorus repeats the phrase "nisemono wa iranai yo" or "I don't need a fake," indicating a desire for authenticity and honesty in the relationship. The second verse goes on to describe how the singer wants to experience new things with their partner and go on adventures together. They acknowledge that if they try too hard or put too much pressure on themselves, they might fail, but they still want to try. The bridge describes a desire to confirm or verify their feelings with their partner so they can move forward together. The song ends with a hopeful image of building a world together with their partner, and wondering what their dreams will look like in the future.
