"Lemon" expresses the sadness and sorrow for losing important persons in life. The song was greatly influenced by Kenshi Yonezu's grandfather, who passed away during the writing of the song. When talking about the creation of the song, Kenshi Yonezu said, "My original goal was to find out some of the most beautiful things between the TV play's plot and my own feelings, and put them into my song.

5． A man sees a butterfly. The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis (蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn't struggle (挣扎;奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it can't fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.
When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful ones of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are living successful lives.
Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock ﹣climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.

(2)             Power walking is one of them that you could take up today.

Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and keep fit.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. (4)             They are better replacements for traditional heath clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces.
