Song Meaning

The song opens with a repetitive, almost chant-like phrase, "イチタス イチタス" (Ichita tasu ichita tasu), which translates to "one plus one plus." This immediately establishes a sense of building, of addition, and perhaps a fundamental, simple logic. The narrator declares, "I don't wanna change, Keep it goinon," asserting a desire to maintain their current trajectory, driven by a "formula only we know." This suggests a unique path or understanding that the narrator and their group possess, fueling their "Ambition" and the "passwords" to achieve it. This core idea is contrasted with the surrounding chaos: "unreasonableness that has spread" and a "breaking system." The narrator frames their stance as a direct response, stating that "the end is when you break your stance" and "now is the only time." This creates a tension between the internal, consistent logic of the group and the external, decaying systems they are pushing against. The repeated "今今今今今しかない" (Ima ima ima ima ima shika nai – "only now, now, now, now, now") emphasizes urgency and a refusal to be deterred by the present difficulties. The lyrics then introduce a playful, almost taunting invitation: "Hey mister, this way, towards the sound." This persona seems to be beckoning others to join their path, promising it's "fun, right? Come on over here." This contrasts with the serious, almost defiant tone of the earlier verses, suggesting a charismatic leadership that draws people in. The imagery of "footprints with you" across "EVERY SEASON" and the act of "knocking on the door" and "turning the doorknob" to "unlock the sixth key" points to a progression, a journey that is both personal and shared, moving towards a new phase. The repeated "イチタス イチタス" returns, now interspersed with "Wow oh yeah," and the crucial lines, "It hasn't ended yet, Oh yeah, it hasn't begun, Oh yeah." This reframes the initial addition not as a simple sum, but as a prelude to something much larger. The "NEXT PHASE" is described as a "wave attack" to "dye the hate," indicating an aggressive, transformative approach to negativity. The narrator asserts their "fire" is unwavering, prioritizing "pride with meaning" over "prizes without meaning." The final assertion, "It hasn't changed since long ago, so it's useless to stop me," reinforces the unyielding nature of their ambition and the unique, self-defined logic they operate by.
