愛して愛して愛して (aishite aishite aishite) (Love Me, Love Me, Love Me)

Kikuo Kikuo

The Cries of a Cursed Love

The song "愛して愛して愛して" (Love Me, Love Me, Love Me) by Kikuo is a haunting exploration of obsessive love and the pain that can come with it. The lyrics tell the story of a person who is desperately seeking love and attention, to the point of being consumed by it. The repeated cries for love ('あいして あいして あいして') suggest a deep yearning and an inability to live without the affection of another. The metaphor of a cursed necklace ('のろい の くびわ') that was cast long ago symbolizes a burden or a trap of love that the protagonist cannot escape from. As the necklace tightens, it represents the increasing desperation and suffocation felt by the need for love and validation.

The song also touches on themes of self-worth and comparison to others ('くらす の だれにも まけない きれいな いい こでしょ'). The protagonist wants to be seen as good, pretty, and better than everyone else, indicating a deep-seated insecurity and a desire for external validation. The confessional nature of the lyrics, especially in the lines that speak of a confession behind the gym ('たいいくかん うら あなたに こくはくを'), adds a personal and vulnerable dimension to the song, suggesting that the love they seek is specific and deeply personal, yet perhaps unrequited or tainted ('きたない あなたが').

Kikuo's musical style often incorporates elements of Vocaloid music, which is known for its synthesized vocals and sometimes dark, emotional themes. The intense repetition and the crescendo of desperation in the song mirror the obsessive and all-consuming nature of the love that is being sung about. The song ends on a paradoxical note, with the protagonist claiming to be happy ('しあわせなの') despite the evident turmoil and pain expressed throughout the song, leaving listeners with a sense of unease and contemplation about the true nature of love and happiness.
