[English]

What remains there

The sweat and tears from nine performances

Voice

Memories that brought tears to my voice

Bursting emotions

The year 2025

What...

This summer, thank you for delivering so much love!

Thank you so much!

It was the best tour!

Now,

I believe we've proven

That we have properly carried on the legacy of our seniors.

We are Nogizaka46!

Thank you all so much again today!

Oh, Midsummer Day

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Uh, we came from Fukuoka, Sendai, and then Nagoya,

Yes. Today, here,

It's the Jingu Live!

Yeah!

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Just as much as my hair has grown,

Months and days have passed.

Jingooooo!

More than you were

Back then

Go, Nogizaka!

Until the cicadas' chirping stops,

After we talked standing,

Without mentioning anything about the present,

Amazing!

It's so regrettable to part...

Oh, Midsummer Day

Blazingly,

The sun beats down.

Only I, just one person,

Am not the only one feeling hot.

Oh, Midsummer Day,

Why even today

Does it go above 30℃?

wow oh oh

I can't say "I like you."

Put yourself in my shoes!

I truly

Love Nogizaka46, which is filled with so much love.

For Nogizaka, a concert at Meiji Jingu Stadium is very special,

Or rather, it has a special meaning.

But I get unbelievably nervous.

While also enjoying the nervousness,

I'll do my best.

I almost cried during rehearsal,

Thinking everyone was doing their best.

A feeling I've never had before.

Days of youth

Oh, Scorching Day,

How much

Love does it take to become like this?

How many times

Will passion

Flare up in one summer?

Oh, Scorching Day,

Go even beyond 35℃,

Until it turns to ash.

Yes, I want you

To understand too

That I'm serious.

I thought I have to work hard to deliver a good concert,

And I need to change a little,

Um, because I feel like it won't be good otherwise.

The question of whether I can surpass last year,

I feel a lot of pressure on myself.

How many more

Midsummer days will there be?

But today is the only day I can say "It's hot" with you.

When I'm performing alongside my seniors, I end up comparing myself and

I get all flustered and think "oh no, oh no,"

But even if it's just a little, I wonder...

Will I be acknowledged?

Or something like that.

To be able to share the stage with those people, it's truly

I feel so happy.

Including the memories with the members and all the fans,

I hope you'll come to love summer.

Put yourself in my shoes!

Summer

Is still

Continuing.

See you again.

It's our usual, and the best place.

この愛の詰まった乃木坂46が大好きです。

乃木坂にとって明治神宮野球場でのライブってすごく特別

な意味っていうか

でも信じられないぐらい緊張します。

緊張も楽しみつつ、

みんな頑張ってんなーと思って。

初めての感情。

いいライブができるように頑張らないとなーと思ったし、

ちょっと変わらなきゃ

あの、ダメな気がするので、

去年を越えれるかっていう

自分へのプレッシャーめっちゃあるんですけど、

真夏日は

あと何度あるだろう？

でも君と「暑いね」と言えるのは今日だけ

やっぱり先輩と比べちゃって一緒にパフォーマンスしてる時は

やばいやばいってなってるんですけど

ちょっとでもなんだろう？

認めてもらえる？

とか

あの人たちと一緒にステージにさせれて本当に

幸せだなって

メンバーとかファンの皆さんとの思い出も込みで

夏を好きになってもらえたらいいなって思ってます。

僕の身になってくれ！

夏は

まだまだ

続く

また会おう

いつもの、そして最高の場所だ
