You Don't Have to Forgive (Japanese Ver.)

You don't have to forgive.

You don't have to suppress your anger or hide your sadness.
"Those feelings are proof that you are protecting yourself."
That is the message of this ballad, sung quietly yet with unshakable passion.

Anger and sorrow are not signs of immaturity-they are signs that you refuse to abandon yourself.
The refrain-<You don't have to forgive / It's okay to be angry / It's okay to be sad>-resonates with each listener's own memories and struggles, gradually transforming into the realization that "pain is not misfortune, but a force that protects your true self."

The minimalist arrangement carves out space for every word to breathe, allowing the raw emotion of the vocal to echo directly into the heart.
When the song fades, it leaves behind a quiet afterglow-and the reassuring reminder that it's enough to simply accept yourself as you are.

# Highlights
