Turbulent Journey through Life

Hi there! Hikari here!

“Koukai no Uta” means the song of the voyage. The song reflects that theme through the gradual buildup from the softer verse, then the pre-chorus and finally reaching its climatic chorus. The overall soft verse captures the feeling of being lost. As the song progresses from the verse, the guitar kicks in at high volume, reflecting the beginning of the feeling of wanting to break out. Then, like journeying through stormy weather, the song shifts to a higher key (F# minor) and reaches the climatic chorus on a high note. It is here that captures the feeling of breaking out.

This song really fits into the theme of My Hero Academia very well. In the show, Eri was a young girl who was abused in the hands of the show’s villain, Overhaul. Feeling lost, helpless and even hopeless of her situation, all she could do is to hope that one day she could break out of it and be saved, much like how the song expresses. I hope you enjoy the transcription!
