"Kimi ga Iine Kuretara" (きみがいいねくれたら, lit. "If you give me 'likes'") is a song by Japanese singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, released as a digital single on May 10, 2019. The song is used as the ending theme song of the YTV drama Mukai no Bazuru Kazoku (向かいのバズる家族).
Interpretation
All alone, sitting in the corner of my room
Growing old just being so lost in thought
Wondering “what if?” and daydreaming away
People would laugh if they could hear my thoughts
Are you all happy being the same?
Even if you chase after a normal life, there’s no guarantee you’ll win
So I’d rather be true to myself, even if it makes me anxious
Whenever you give me a like
Whenever you give me a like
I lose my manners, I can’t sit still
I don’t wanna break our link
I wanna glitter with all my might
even if you’re not next to me
In this song, we have the word “fuketeru” which means to run away from something, like work or responsibilities. But it can also mean to grow old/age visibly, which is very cleverly shown in the video with Kyary’s kawaii beard all grown out.[3]
Music video
The music video for the song was released on May 9, 2019.[4][5]
Live performances
Kyary performed the song in Abema TV on May 5 and in Music Station on May 10, 2019. She performed the song with Goro Inagaki, Shingo Katori, and Tsuyoshi Kusanagi on her Abema TV performance.
