太陽
作詞作曲：中嶋晃子
美しいあなたの笑顔に
終わらない物語は 語り継がれる
ありがとう 後悔のない人生を
生き抜くということを
教えてくれたあなた もっと話したかったよ
今でもあなたは 太陽のように
私の心に光り続けている
幸せだね 愛する家族と仲間に
恵まれてよかったね
ありがとう 眠る前に 毎晩 思い描いた夢を
残してくれたあなた この歌が聴こえるかな？
いつでもあなたは太陽のように
進むべき道を照らし続けている
苦しい時でも力強く 決断する時は迷いなく
時に厳しく 時に優しく
努力を惜しまず 堂々と生きて
人を支え 人に与え続けた Ah- あなた
この歌が聴こえるかな？
永遠にあなたは太陽のように
みんなの心に光り続けていく

Wonderful world
Akiko Nakashima
Singer-songwriter Akiko Nakashima releases her first single! "Even when we lose someone we love, our thoughts live on." Her late grandmother taught Akiko to live a happy life with no regrets and to imagine your dreams before you go to bed. Her late grandmother words will always shine like the sun in her heart, illuminating the path she should take, and I hope that they will be passed on to the next generation.
The beautiful and dignified violin performance and the outstanding strings arrangement were created by violinist Yuki Etoh, and Ayumi Hashimoto's deep cello performance that gently envelops the world melts into the ensemble, while Akiko Nakashima's unique voice shines through as she plays the piano.
