あの夢をなぞって (Tracing the Dream)

皆さん,Yoasobiという歌手をご存じですか？Yoasobiは日本だけではなく外国でも凄く人気があります！Yoasobiの曲には色々ないいものがありますが、今日は「あの夢をなぞって」という曲について書きます。

Do you happen to know who Yoasobi is? Yoasobi is not only popular in Japan, but also very popular internationally as well! There are a lot of good songs from Yoasobi but today, I will be writing about a song called ‘Tracing the Dream’.

正直に言うと最初にこの曲のPVを見て少し混乱しました。この曲のPVで主人公はある日、恋人に告白されて本当に幸せになりました。しかし翌日になると、二人ともなぜか前日に何も起こらなかったをふりをしました。

Honestly speaking, I was a little confused at the beginning when I watched the PV of this song. In the PV, the main character’s romantic crush confessed his feelings to her which made her extremely happy. However, the next day, they both pretended as if absolutely nothing happened the day before for some strange reason.

ゆか先生のおかげでやっと答えを見つけました。ゆか先生は最近この曲の解説の動画を投稿したのです。その動画を見て主人公に予知夢の力があることが分かりました。つまり恋人に告白されたのは夢でした。しかし予知夢だからこそ現実になる可能性があります。

Thanks to Yuka sensei, I finally managed to find the answer to this. Yuka sensei recently uploaded a video that explains the meaning of the song, revealing the main character’s power of prophetic dreams. In other words, the confession that took place was just a dream. However, because it was a prophetic dream, there is a possibility that it might actually come true in the end!

ただし、予知夢で夢見た未来は現実になることが確実ではありません。彼女の行動によって未来が変わる可能性もあります。

However, her prophetic dream power does not guarantee that the future she saw in her dream will turn into reality with absolute certainty. There is also the possibility that the future might change based on her course of actions.
