Discover the story of the song > Arigachi Na Renai – 46 Nogizaka46

The lyrics of the song "Arigachi na Renai" talk about a common love story. The protagonist looks at the windows of the apartments in a housing complex and imagines how happy the families living there are based on the colors of their laundry. She wonders if what she wants to protect is in her future. She then reflects on how predictable love can be, and how without realizing it, two people can end up going separate ways. She suggests that if you find a dream that's more important than love, then reality can be boring. She wonders what made her start thinking so logically. She then talks about the feeling of regret and how it's always a struggle between pride and giving in. She asks her partner if they're satisfied with the life they have now and if their dreams have brought them happiness. She ends by repeating that the ending of a typical love story is always the same, and without realizing it, two people can end up going separate ways if they find a dream more important than love.
