The Story of a Picky Eater in Love
This song isn’t just about food. It’s a hilarious story told from the perspective of a guy who is very, very particular about what he likes and dislikes. And it all starts with a simple confession to his girlfriend.
The Confession
Right away, our main character lays it all out. He tells his partner about the foods he just can’t stand. She playfully teases him, but he’s totally serious about it. You can almost picture him saying this with a straight face.
Hey
Pakuchii piiman guriin piisu
Cilantro, bell peppers, green peas
Nigate nan da tte kimi ni uchiaketara
When I confessed to you that I’m not a fan
Kodomo ka! tte iwareta kedo
You said, “Are you a kid?” but
Iya na mono wa iya nan da
I just don’t like what I don’t like
Can’t be helped, right?
Just Be Yourself
He has a simple philosophy: why force yourself to do something that makes you unhappy? He compares eating food you hate to forcing things in life. He’s all about being true to himself, even if it means carefully picking veggies out of his dish. It’s better to be honest than miserable!
Saying you have to eat it while enduring it
Sorette fushiawase da
Bokura no jinsei mo onaji darou
Our lives are the same, aren’t they?
Muri nanka suru na
Don’t force yourself
A Parade of Unwanted Foods
As the song goes on, the list of things he dislikes gets longer and funnier. It’s not just a few veggies anymore. He goes on a full-blown rant, listing everything from liver and plums to blue cheese. He’s not just a picky eater; he’s a professional hater of certain foods!
The Real Meaning Behind “Pakuchii Piiman Green Peas”
So, what’s the big deal with all this food talk? Here’s the secret: the food is a metaphor. He’s not just talking about what’s on his plate. He’s talking about people and relationships. He mentions that there are people you just don’t click with, like “a boundary line” is drawn between you. This picky eating is actually his way of explaining his picky heart.
He doesn’t want just anyone. He’s not a social butterfly who gets along with everybody. And this is where it gets really sweet. All his “dislikes” make his one “like” so much more powerful.
The Sweet Message from Hinatazaka46
The song’s core message is that it’s okay not to like everything. In fact, knowing what you don’t want helps you appreciate what you do want. His strong dislike for so many things is what makes his love for his girlfriend so special and focused.
Basically, no matter what kind of person
Suki kirai wa aru yo
There are likes and dislikes
Kirai na mono ga aru kara
Because there are things I dislike
Konna ni suki ni mo nareru
I can come to like something this much
He wraps it all up by saying he doesn’t want any other girl. He might be picky, but he’s chosen her. In the end, he tells her, “Kimi dake de mou onaka ippai da”, which means “Just you is enough to make my stomach full.” He’s completely satisfied with just her love. It’s a quirky, hilarious, and surprisingly romantic way to say “I only have eyes for you.”
So, what’s your take on this song? Do you see it as a funny anthem for picky eaters, or is there a deeper love story hidden in the lyrics? Let me know what you think!
