[English]

It's been a long time.

This is Nishikawa.

Well, today, I'd like to sing with all my heart once again.

But I'm not alone today.

This time, I've asked someone who once provided me with a meal and a place to stay—

Or rather, someone I owe a big favor to—to play the accompaniment.

It's Kiyozuka-kun.

It's a pleasure to be here.

I'll follow my big brother anywhere!

No, no, no.

It's something I've long desired...

No, really, it's because I owe him one.

He did send me a message, actually.

Right, so the other day, Kiyozuka-kun was coming to my hometown, Shiga, for a concert.

Since he was coming, I thought I'd send him a message of support.

That's right.

And then I thought, "I haven't paid him back yet!"

Yes.

I'm looking forward to working with you today.

I wish things like this could go on forever.

I'm incredibly happy.

The pleasure is all mine.

Well then, I'll give it my absolute best. Let's do this.

In a room lit by moonlight, I'll pierce every corner of your heart.

If I could melt away like a single shard of ice within your hands.

In a waveless town, embraced by the rising heat haze,

Life will continue to bloom.

Expose your lonely wings and show me a flight that belongs only to you.

Let's keep dancing through these dazzling moments, until our strength runs out.

An unadorned heart, fingertips covered in rings; I search for them,

But like fiddling with keys in a pocket, I only touch upon someone else's wounds.

Are the twinkling stars, looking as if they might catch fire,

Releasing their heat into a broken prayer before they fade away?

Scattering unfulfilled dreams, the passion echoing in my chest

Cannot wait for the flames; even my voice is faint and struggling in turmoil.

Layering our lonely wings, if you believe in the feelings

That are born only to take flight, then let me hear your love, until it wets my cheeks.

Hey, someone is whispering, just beyond the door of this night.

While seeking love at the end of shifting, swaying wishes.

So cool!

I was nervous.

That was electrifying!

It's true that this is "THE FIRST TAKE,"

But since this is our first time performing this song face-to-face,

It was "THE FIRST TAKE" in many different ways.

Now I can go around on sales calls!

Thank you very much.

Let's go nationwide!

Thank you so much.

どうもご無沙汰しています

西川でございます

では本日もしっかりと心を込めて歌わせていただきたいと思うんですけれども

今日は一人じゃないんです

今回はですね一宿一飯の音儀

というか貸しがある人に今回は伴奏をお願いしました

清塚君 です

よろしくお願いいたします

もう兄貴についていきます

いやいや

念願の

いやいや　っていうかほら　貸しがあるから

確かにメッセージ もいただきました

そうこの間ね清塚君がやってるコンサートで地元滋賀に来てくれるってことだったので

ちょっとせっかくで応援メッセージをねそうですね届けさせていただいて

そうでした

その借り返してもらってなかったなと思ったので

はい

今回はよろしくお願いします

もうこんなのはずっとずっと続けばいいと思ってます

超幸せです

こちらこそです

では一つ精一杯頑張りますんでよろしくお願いします

月灯りの部屋　心の隅々まで　痛くしよう

君の手の中で　一欠けの氷のよう　溶けてゆけるなら

波のない街で　浮かんだ陽炎に

包まれて行く　命はまだ　咲いていくから

孤独な羽根を曝して　君だけの　羽ばたきを見せて

まばゆい時を　踊り続けよう　力尽きるまでに

飾らない心　指輪だらけの指先　探すけれど

ポケットの鍵を　いじくるように　誰かの傷に触って

燃え移りそうに　瞬く星たちは

絶えた祈りに　熱を放ち　消えてゆくのか

叶わぬ夢を散らして　この胸に　響く情熱は

炎を待てず　声もかすかに　乱れもがいてるよ

孤独な羽根を重ねて　生まれては　羽ばたく想いを

信じてるなら　愛を聞かせて　頬を濡らすまでに

ねえ　誰かが囁いてるよ　この夜の扉の向こうで

移ろい揺れる　願いの果てに　愛を求めながら

かっこいい！

緊張しました

しびれるー

本当にTHE FIRST TAKEっていうのもそうですけど

こうして顔を合わせてこの曲をやるの初めてなので

色んな意味でTHE FIRST TAKEでしたが

これで営業回れますね

ありがとうございます

全国行きましょう

ありがとうございました
