Wish on the Same Sky - Monsta X

Another one of my favourite K-pop groups today, but this song is in Japanese. I still miss Wonho.

The song starts with piano, clicking and Kihyun's vocals before adding percussion behind Shownu's vocals. The song feels perfect for spring, especially with all the pastel tones in the music video. As soon as the song's intro starts, it hits that this will be a sad song. It is so beautiful, the harmony, the marriage of the instruments, all of their voices. I like a lot of Monsta X's music, but their ballads made me love them. I also like that the song starts with Kihyun and Shownu and ends with them. It's almost like a cycle in your life coming to completion. The instruments used really highlight their voices. I don't know why Jooheon's voice reminds me of Tablo in this song; I love his rapping style.

The lyrics are going to hit those emotional chords in you. To me, the song gives me break-up vibes. But it could also relate to friends or family leaving. Though you have to leave, something will always keep you together, such as memories. Even if you can't be with that person, you will still love them '季節が何度巡っても そばにいれなくても 愛してるよ' ( Even if the seasons change. Even if you weren't there for me I still love you). It also talks about how the memories make 君らしい すべてがあたたかい (Everything is warm), making me think there are no hard feelings and perhaps neither wanted the break up to happen. Especially when they sing ' This is not goodbye'. The lyrics also talk about how they should both learn to grow, and they will support the person and know they will see each other again. Wish on the same sky かけがえない絆 (our irreplaceable bond).

I hope you all enjoyed this piece; I would love to know your interpretation of the song. Thank you for reading, and I hope the translations are correct x
