ESSENTIALS / RED

I know you, I know me

Knowing you, I begin to see both the self on stage and the self beneath it.

Liner Notes

Color Notes

“I know you, I know me” is a song about an idol coming to know herself by being found by someone. Standing on a stage doesn't mean she can see her own outline from the start. Because someone waves back, a song that couldn't yet become a voice slowly takes shape.

“Knowing you” in this song isn't only about understanding the other person. It means knowing herself as an idol through your gaze, and finding the self beneath that, too. Red glows here less as the color of strength than as the color of an outline that rises by being seen.

自分の中の 小さな灯が まだ夢を 照らせないの やっと立てた このステージに ひとり なにも見えないまま 届けたい 届けたい 声にならない 歌をうたうの それでも君が 手を振ってくれるかな さあ ここからが本番だね I know you I know me この空の下 君も 同じ夢を見つめていたの I know you I know me 始まってるよ 怖がってたのは 自分だよ 星の中 この夜も ひとりきり 泣いているよ 笑顔の裏 かくしたいまま いつも通りに まぎれて 震えてる 震えてる 弱い自分じゃ ないけれど 君の声が 聴こえた気がしたの さあ ここからが 変わるよね I know you I know me 自分のこと 好きになれたの 君がいたから I know you I know me ライトの中で 鏡みたいに 見つめてよ I know you I know me だから 君の 涙も わたしに預けていいかな I know you I know me もう大丈夫 わたしを好きでいいよ
