Shiawasette Iu Kaibutsu

Frederic's song 'Shiawasette Iu Kaibutsu' delves into the complex and often paradoxical nature of happiness. The title itself translates to 'The Monster Called Happiness,' suggesting that happiness can be elusive and multifaceted. The lyrics explore various dimensions of human emotions and societal constructs, questioning the true essence of happiness and how it is perceived by different individuals.

The song opens with a seemingly simple and serene scene of drinking tea and dancing at a town festival, but quickly transitions into deeper reflections on the human condition. The lyrics mention 'kokoro no koe,' or the voice of the heart, emphasizing the importance of listening to one's inner self. This introspection is juxtaposed with societal roles and expectations, as seen in the lines about pacifists and criminals both shedding the same tears of sadness. This suggests that despite our different backgrounds and identities, our emotional experiences are fundamentally similar.

Frederic also touches on the innocence of childhood and the universal capacity for love, even among animals. This highlights the natural, untainted aspects of happiness that are often overshadowed by societal complexities. The recurring line 'Atama wa hitotsu janai' (We don't have just one head) and 'Kokoro wa hitotsu janai' (We don't have just one heart) further emphasize the multiplicity of perspectives and emotions that coexist within us. The song ultimately leaves us pondering what we can do tomorrow, under the same blue sky that watches over both the joys and sorrows of life, encapsulating the enigmatic nature of happiness.
