I was thinking I wanted to have a new song for the Secret Live on September 13, so I wrote this sometime in September. It's like my kick-off song for 10th style. Since lots of time has passed, I get kind of nostalgic listening and remembering, but I can remember remaking the song over and over when Tomomi's vocal work draws me into the song. The song delicately balances a sense of sorrow with a positive feeling of having overcome, which is fairly well portrayed in the lyrics, almost as if it was mirroring my own experiences of the time. Even now it's burned into my heart as if it was yesterday.

Sometimes painful things can be the most healing of all. I think there are times like that ... For example, like when you undergo a basic medical treatment instead of seeking temporary relief ...
It's pain that doesn't heal me, it saves me.<br>
I wonder if there are also cases like this... I think. For example, when you undergo basic medical treatment instead of seeking temporary relief, or...


I think this is a song that uses each and every effective method of care. I was extremely impressed by the expression of even those methods that are full of "pain", the soul-rending melodies and heart-piercing timbres. How do you portray that sort of feeling? That's the theme.
I think this song fully uses various methods of care. Among them, I was extremely impressed by these expressions, which were also similar to the medical treatment and rehabilitation associated with "pain", so a timbre melody which tears and pierces your heart. How do you express that? That's a challenge.


Do you leave it shut, or open it ...
And, will it remain closed or open...?

あなたといた私は変われた

I've been able to change since when I was with you
I've gotten strong, so I can live again ...

Your gentle smile overflows into my fingertips
Closing away all of my unease

That attitude I hate ... even all the words you say
Run opposite to what I feel in my heart

Only my tears can shine as bright as those memories
As they spill out from my eyes

Long Version

一緒に過ごした大切な時間 無駄じゃなかった
泣いたり笑ったり叫んでも
あなたといた私は変われた
強くなれた 生きる力くれた・・・

優しい微笑み ふれる指先に
不安なんか飲み込まれてしまう

嫌わせる態度 出てくる言葉も
心とは反対のことばかり

今も思い出す やさしい波
安らぐ寝顔も my one, true love

最後のお願い聞いて・・・
涙と同じだけ輝いた思い出たちが
瞳から溢れる

辛いときはちょっとだけ開けさせて
大切な箱 これからの力にしたいから

貴方を愛した自分を誇りに思っていたい 私の大切な人

一緒に過ごした大切な時間 無駄じゃなかった
泣いたり笑ったり叫んでも
あなたといた私は変われた
大きくなれた 生きる力くれた・・・

English


Was the time we spent together all for nothing?
Crying, smiling, even screaming ...
I've been able to change since when I was with you
I've gotten strong, so I can live again ...

Your gentle smile overflows into my fingertips
Closing away all of my unease

That attitude I hate ... even all the words you say
Run opposite to what I feel in my heart

Even now I can remember the gentle waves,
Your smiling face ... my one, true love

Please, hear my last wish ...
Only my tears can shine as bright as those memories
As they spill out from my eyes

I open it up just a little when life gets hard
This box that I want to make into my source of strength

I want to be proud of the person I was that loved you, my most important person

Was the time we spent together all for nothing?
Crying, smiling, even screaming ...
I've been able to change since when I was with you
I've grown, so I can live again...

Song Production Information

I wanted to perform a new song at the 9.13 secret LIVE, so I created this trance song around early September, and it's the kickoff song for 10th.
It has been a very long time, so listening to it now feels nostalgic to me, but I remember remaking it from the beginning many times to show the new vocalist Tomomi's nice parts.
The excitement of when my music matched the straightforward lyrics, which expressed the delicate psychological situation of overcoming sorrow with positivity, still remains in my heart like it was yesterday.
