Released in 2017, Little Glee Monster's 'Seishun Photograph' is both a motivational song and a nostalgic poem that portrays the 'beginning of the end' of student life.
The title 'Photograph' does not merely refer to a commemorative photo but symbolizes moments etched in the heart. The song conveys the importance of capturing those times that, when looked back upon, will support you in the future.
Capture the 'Now,' Not the 'Someday'
'Because it's so dazzling, it makes me want to cry.'
The brilliance of youth is easily forgotten once it passes.
That’s why we want to preserve the 'now.' Smiles, friends, sunsets, school buildings—everything in front of you becomes a photo that fuels your future self.
Photos as Proof of Your Efforts
'Because youth doesn’t last forever, we take photos.'
This lyric conveys how photos serve as a record to affirm the efforts you’ve made.
Moments of frustration, shared laughter—all of these are 'proof of your efforts' captured in a single shutter click.
A Message to Your Future Self
'Seishun Photograph' is not just a song about recording the 'now.'
It’s also a gift for your future self to look back on during tough times.
When music and photography come together, that moment transforms from a 'record' into a 'memory.' And that memory will surely support you somewhere down the road.
