YOASOBI's song is a pep talk the singer gives herself, and by the second half, to you too. It opens with life rushing past: seasons gone before you can miss them, meetings and goodbyes coming so fast there is no time to get ready, and the morning sun rising again anyway. Nobody knows where wishes or a sweet little crush will end up, so she just keeps walking.

The image that carries the whole thing is flowers. "枯れかけた木にも" (even on a tree that is almost dead) / "花は咲く" (flowers bloom), and then the command "私よ咲き誇れもっと" (Me, bloom proudly, even more). The title verb, 咲き誇る, means to bloom in full glory, and here it is in the imperative, which makes it sound like she is shouting at herself in the mirror. I love that she does not wait for the spring wind either: she wants to go on ahead of it.

A word to watch: "何一つ見逃さないでいたいの" (happiness, for sure) uses 仕合わせ, an older way of writing shiawase (happiness) that literally hints at things fitting together by chance. Later the song turns it around with 不仕合わせ (unhappiness), telling you not to decide you are unlucky just because rain is wetting your cheeks. The chorus keeps pointing "over there" at her answer and her future, and the ending repeats "咲き誇れ咲き誇れ" (bloom proudly, bloom proudly) like a chant. It is sweet, a little relentless, and very easy to sing along to.
