The song "Ittekoi" draws its inspiration from a basic painting technique moving the brush forward and back to portray life itself.
In painting, this back-and-forth motion evens out uneven spots and creates a smooth finish. In life, the ups and downs, the wins and losses, the steps forward and backward all blend together to form your unique color.
The lyrics capture vivid moments from the job site paint splashing in the wind, the frustration of being scolded, and the importance of an undercoat alongside the emotional highs and lows of everyday life.
Lines like "Life's boring if it's always flat" and "Waves will always be there" remind us that smooth sailing isn't the only way to live.
Ultimately, every experience good or bad mixes together to become the "color" that defines you. This song reflects the mindset and life philosophy of a true craftsman.
