Lyric

"Ashita no Watashi wo Hikari ni Utsushidashitara" is a pop song that follows a woman's emotional journey as she overcomes heartbreak and begins to move forward again.
Starting from a quiet farewell, the story unfolds through cinematic scenes-streetlights blurred by tears, a slow-flowing end roll-capturing the delicate beauty of parting.
Yet the song is not only about sadness. Through the realization that "every love helps us grow up," the protagonist finds the strength to see beauty in heartbreak, softly affirming that "melancholy can be beautiful."
Images of light-the morning sun, prism reflections, and a cobalt-blue sky-symbolize hope for a new self, shining upon the moment when pain quietly transforms into rebirth.
Musically, the song blends emotional synth textures with warm piano and gentle strings, creating a transparent and nostalgic J-POP atmosphere. A steady rhythm section and soft acoustic guitar strokes bring a modern freshness while preserving a 90s-inspired warmth. The restrained yet expressive vocal performance quietly conveys both loss and hope, as if light gradually fills the song from the intro to the outro.
Each element resonates together to paint a cinematic morning scene after the rain-a calm, tender beginning of tomorrow.
It's a song that gives gentle courage to those healing from goodbye moments, celebrating small joys like watching a movie alone or enjoying a cup of coffee.
A pop ballad of light and renewal, reminding us that the "true self," unadorned and honest, can shine beautifully once again.
