ABOUT/MEANING: “Wishlist” captures the excitement and nervousness of trying to make someone important feel special on their birthday. Unsure what present to choose, the boy repeatedly asks “you” to reveal what they really want, determined to find something capable of expressing how much they mean to him. Rather than assuming he knows the answer, he waits eagerly for some clue that will help him fulfil their wish. The seemingly simple problem of choosing a gift consequently becomes an expression of affection: what matters most is not the present itself, but the happiness he hopes it will bring.
Eventually, his search for the perfect gift leads him towards something more vulnerable than anything on a wishlist: simply confessing that he likes them. The shift reveals that his uncertainty was never only about choosing the right present, but about finding the right way to communicate feelings he has struggled to express directly.
Within minisode1: Blue Hour, “Wishlist” provides a warmer expression of connection amid an album shaped by distance and uncertainty. While other tracks dwell on people becoming unreachable or moments slipping away, “Wishlist” focuses on the simple happiness of having someone you still want to celebrate. In an uncertain period of growing up, that desire to make another person happy becomes something small but meaningful to hold onto.

Please tell me now
(Tell me now)
It’s harder than an exam
Understanding your heart
I’ve been searching all day
Your feed on the timeline
(What do you like?)
The question mark, please remove it for me
“Guess”, you keep pretending not to know
Why do you keep laughing?
Time is flowing by
I stay up all night again today
Where in the world did you hide it?
Tell me the secret
Say now! Say now! Oh yeah
Say now! Say now!
Please tell me now
Time’s up, give me your wishlist
Tell me your birthday wish
Say now! Say now! Oh yeah
Say now! Say now!
Please tell me now
A useful something?
No, pretty trash
How about romantic?
I can’t make a guess
(What’s the best present?)
A wishlist that I've filled up in my phone
Suddenly everything becomes meaningful
A treasure box filled with a star called you
Is overflowing in my heart
Now I'll send it to you
Where in the world did you hide it?
Tell me the secret
Say now! Say now! Oh yeah
Say now! Say now!
Please tell me now
Time’s up, give me your wishlist
Tell me your birthday wish
Say now! Say now! Oh yeah
Say now! Say now!
Please tell me now
Oh oh oh oh
Been waiting for your birthday
My heart flutters for your birthday
Oh oh oh oh
Tell me what’s your wish, yeah
Tell me what’s your wish, yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Been waiting for your birthday
My heart flutters for your birthday
Oh oh oh oh
Tell me what’s your wish, yeah
Tell me what’s your wish, yeah
Rather than getting it all wrong
I might just confess
I like you
Where in the world did you hide it?
Tell me the secret
Say now! Say now! Oh yeah
Say now! Say now!
Please tell me now
Time’s up, give me your wishlist
Tell me your birthday wish
Say now! Say now! Oh yeah
Say now! Say now!
Please tell me now
