きらいきらいきらいって (I Hate You, I Hate You, I Hate You, I Hate You, or So I Say)

Kikuo's song 'きらいきらいきらいって (I Hate You, I Hate You, I Hate You, I Hate You, or So I Say)' delves into the complex emotions of frustration, longing, and the difficulty of expressing true feelings. The lyrics paint a picture of two individuals in distant worlds, both physically and emotionally. The repeated imagery of laughter in faraway places and the falling snow creates a sense of isolation and coldness, symbolizing the emotional distance between the two characters.

The chorus, with its repetitive declaration of 'I hate you,' juxtaposed with the desire to express these feelings, highlights the internal conflict of the narrator. The use of 'いや' (no) and 'きらい' (hate) emphasizes the struggle to articulate these emotions, suggesting a deeper, unspoken pain. The repetition of 'なりたい なれない' (I want to, but I can't) further underscores the frustration and helplessness felt by the narrator, who is trapped in a cycle of unfulfilled desires and unexpressed emotions.

Kikuo's musical style often blends whimsical, almost childlike melodies with dark, introspective themes, creating a hauntingly beautiful contrast. This song is no exception, as the light, airy music contrasts sharply with the heavy emotional content of the lyrics. The song's exploration of unspoken emotions and the difficulty of communication resonates with listeners, making it a poignant reflection on the human experience of longing and frustration.
