Reason

The song 'Reason' by Hunter x Hunter delves into themes of friendship, perseverance, and the journey of life. The lyrics convey a sense of companionship and the importance of having someone close by, especially during challenging times. The repeated phrase 'いるよ そばにいちばんちかく' (I'm here, right beside you) emphasizes the comfort and support that friends provide to each other. This sentiment is further reinforced by the lines 'いまはただ それだけでいいから' (For now, that's all I need), highlighting the significance of presence over words or actions.

The song also explores the idea of moving forward despite obstacles. The lyrics '向かい風と知っていながら それでも進む理由がある' (Knowing there's a headwind, but still having a reason to move forward) reflect the determination to keep going even when the path is difficult. This resilience is a central theme, suggesting that the journey itself, with all its trials and tribulations, is what shapes and strengthens individuals. The mention of 'なげすてがむしゃらにあしたをめざす' (recklessly aiming for tomorrow) captures the spirit of pushing through adversity with hope and courage.

Additionally, the song touches on the idea of personal growth and the value of experiences. The lyrics '汗にまみれて泥にまみれて 手にしたものは見っともないかな' (Covered in sweat and mud, what we've gained might look unsightly) suggest that the true rewards of life are not always glamorous but are deeply meaningful. The song encourages embracing one's unique path and rejecting societal standards of success, as seen in '誰かが決める勲章は欲しくない' (I don't want medals decided by someone else). This message of authenticity and self-acceptance resonates throughout the song, making it a powerful anthem for those navigating their own journeys.
