Television Lyrics
[Verse 1: Ruri, Rui]
Hey there, boy
かまってもいいじゃん
Not a toy
リカちゃんじゃないわ
Hear me, boy?
誰よりも1番
私を見て欲しいの not your television
[Verse 2: Sayaka, Kaede]
3次元は生きづらいから
2次元で恋したい気分とか
I understand でも現実では
For you, I stan 気付いて欲しい my love
[Chorus: Rui]
Like that
Yeah, I like that
Do it like that
Be a real boy
Like that
Yeah, I like that
Do it like that
Be a real boy
[Verse 3: Miyuu, Kaede]
異次元でも感じる like ビッグバン
信じて 純粋なその直感
今まで見たことない vision
釘付けになって欲しい to me, not television
[Verse 4: Sayaka, Miyuu]
二人で冒険したい
冗談で話てるワケじゃない
バービーとケンみたいな偽世界
そんなんで幸せになれるかい？
[Chorus: Rui]
Like that
Yeah, I like that
Do it like that
Be a real boy
Like that
Yeah, I like that
Do it like that
Be a real boy
[Outro: Kaede]
Te-television, no television
Te-television, n-n-no television
Te-television, no television
Te-television, n-n-no television
Television Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1: Ruri, Rui]
Ruri and Rui open the song by directly confronting a love interest who treats them like a background distraction. They assert their desire to be seen and valued as individuals, not as passive entertainment. By rejecting the comparison to “リカちゃん” (Licca-chan, a Japanese doll), they challenge objectification and demand real emotional investment. The contrast between being watched like a “television” and being truly seen is foundational to the song’s message.
[Verse 2: Sayaka, Kaede]
Sayaka and Kaede explore the appeal of escapism through 2D fantasy relationships, a reference to anime or virtual crushes. While they empathize with the desire to avoid the difficulties of real-life intimacy, they still crave reciprocated love in the real world. The blend of English and Japanese illustrates the duality between fantasy and reality, and their vulnerability reveals the emotional stakes behind their plea to be noticed.
[Chorus: Rui]
Rui’s chorus is a rhythmic mantra demanding sincerity. The repetition of “Like that” and “Be a real boy” urges authenticity over performance. The tone is both flirtatious and firm, signaling that emotional availability and genuine action are more attractive than aesthetic gestures or empty charm. It acts as the song’s emotional heartbeat, uniting all the verses’ individual perspectives under one clear demand.
[Verse 3: Miyuu, Kaede]
Miyuu and Kaede dive into the cosmic scale of their emotional experience, describing it as explosive and transcendent—like the Big Bang. Their expressions of intuitive connection and longing for attention reflect a desire to be someone’s focal point, not just a passing image. They reject the cold detachment of the “television” metaphor, pushing instead for deep presence and recognition.
[Verse 4: Sayaka, Miyuu]
Sayaka and Miyuu challenge the illusion of perfect love portrayed in mass media through the metaphor of Barbie and Ken. They expose the hollowness of performative romance and affirm that real happiness requires more than superficial fantasy. Their wish to embark on a shared adventure is heartfelt and grounded, emphasizing depth over decoration.
[Chorus: Rui]
The chorus returns with consistent energy, reinforcing the song’s recurring plea for honesty and human connection. It serves as a rhythmic and thematic anchor, keeping the listener centered on the core message: emotional authenticity matters more than a polished image.
[Outro: Kaede]
Kaede’s outro deconstructs the symbolic “television” metaphor entirely. The glitchy repetition of “Te-television, n-n-no television” echoes a digital signal breaking down, symbolizing the rejection of artificial love and the beginning of something real. It leaves the listener with a lingering sense of defiance against emotional detachment.
