Gimme Chocolate

Babymetal's 'Gimme Chocolate' is a song that combines the heavy metal music genre with J-pop, creating a unique sound that the band is known for. The lyrics, primarily in Japanese, express a playful and somewhat conflicted desire for chocolate. The repeated phrase 'c-c-o ちょこれと' translates to 'chocolate,' and the song revolves around the craving for this sweet treat while also being concerned about weight gain, as indicated by the word 'weight' and the phrase 'ちょっと さいきん しんぱい なんです' which means 'I'm a little worried lately.'

The song's playful tone is emphasized by the onomatopoeic sounds 'ずっきゅん' and 'どっきゅん,' which mimic the feeling of a heart beating fast, possibly due to excitement or anxiety. The internal struggle between the desire to indulge in chocolate and the concern for health and appearance is a relatable theme, especially in a society that often emphasizes diet and body image. The lyrics 'ちょっとだけ たべちゃおう' which means 'Let's eat just a little,' suggest a compromise, giving in to the craving but in moderation.

Babymetal's approach to this song is both humorous and endearing, as it touches on the universal experience of temptation and the guilt that can accompany indulgence. The energetic and catchy music, combined with the lighthearted lyrics, creates a song that is both entertaining and thought-provoking, as it reflects on the simple human experiences of desire and self-control.
