Gotta Face Forward
02.19
Due to the release of ZKT48's 1st single, I decided to make a little review on my blog.
Oshima Yuko.
Recycled candy boxes-like seifuku.
Whirling standing mic choreohraphy.
You're absolutely right! It's Mae Shika Mukanee.
Mae Shika Mukanee has a meaning "gotta face forward". Got a clue how the song would be?
Mae Shika Mukanee is Oshima Yuko's last single before graduating. It's a good song after all. Seems like the producers were trying when they created it, and maybe they were.
Compared to the most of AKB48 released major singles, Mae Shika Mukanee has a discrete theme. AKB48 had crawled out of its snake pit of mediocrity random oddball songs. Their major singles with Yuko as its center never gets me bored! The energy level in the song is great, especially for a live concert. Mae Shika Mukanee won't win any awards for song production, but it's a song that's at least slightly less bland than AKB48's recent songs, so I'll take it.
So, let's go to the spotlight of this post.

"Gotta face forward
You'll notice the tears
'Cause if you look to the side
Gazing into the distance
And gritting my teeth
I'll take this path!"
This song is telling us to take step forward, to develop ourselves to be a better one, to build a better life. Somehow people don't succeed because they still clutch in their past and loomed by their past. It's either because they are sure that it's okay to stand idle or they withdraw their selves from changes, they don't want to out from what called as comfort zone.

"I met you
And we hung out all the time
We struggled against
The days of our youth
Because we knew
That the important
Things in life
Lie in the future"
This line caught my eyes a bit. It triggers me to remember my buddies in ZKT48 and ZKB48 at their old era since this song is about letting what behind us and go forward.
🌚
"Even if we're having fun right now
It can't go on forever
We can't cling to it"
Just like what I've explained before.

"Gotta face forward
At least, in the end
Let me go out with dignity
My new world
Scares me, but
There's no going back now
Even if I look back on the road I walked
All I see is the wind blowing"
Touché! That's the point. Sometimes the thing that spooks us to move from our comfort zone is the fear of meeting new things and menaces because we had accustomed in our customary behavior in a particular situation.
And this is it. New ZKT48 has born in the RP world. New friends, new beginning, new atmosphere, well, it wasn't that hard to get used to it. The new hopes from new aces has been arised.

"The night my relationship
Fell apart
I stood on the swing
Like when I was a kid
When I shouted obscenities
In a loud voice
You were right there next to me
And your kindness pierced through me"
Again, about the friendship in the past.

"No matter how hard it gets
The sadness can't last forever
Let's live strong"
I ever read a good sentence said "if you're sad, cry a river, and get over it!" (it reminds me about RIVER lyrics smh). Nothing lasts forever and so does sadness. It may hurt, it may depressing, but the one who is able to end it is you yourself. Do you really acquiesce yourself to live under the sorrow? Of course not. Even stupid people who believe in apocryphal stories always wish a "happily ever after". Remember that everyone deserves happiness.

"When it's time to set off
Cast out your memories"
I also ever read a novel that written around 1930's. It's about someone who failed in defending his marriage because he's still loomed by his past. I want to say that if the only thing that we can do to move on is by casting out your memories, then go for it. Miyawaki Sakura ever said in her speech in 2015 Sousenkyo that we ought destroy the old one to build a new one (I didn't expect she could be that wise???? Lmao). We have to sacrifice something to get another thing.
I think, that's all. I'm writing much more than usual today. Thank you for spending your time to read this post.
