Aka no Kodou is a song about the heart that keeps moving forward, even when doubt and conflict make you feel like stopping.
It expresses the idea of placing a bookmark in your own story, so you do not lose sight of the self you can always return to.
The song captures the moment when the emotions still beating deep inside your heart begin to turn into the strength to take another step forward.
It gently supports those who are trying to accept themselves as they are and continue moving ahead.
