Wonderful world

Akiko Nakashima

素晴らしい世界

作詞作曲:中嶋晃子

長い夜を超えて 眠りから覚めたなら

窓を開けて空をみあげて ゆっくりでいいから

大丈夫だよ そっと 呼吸して

喜びや幸せは 今ここにある

風に揺らぐ花のように

あなたらしく素直でいて

弱さや痛みも受け入れてみて

素晴らしい世界が待っているよ

過去を思い出して 涙あふれたなら

波の音に耳を澄まして 海に抱かれてみて

大丈夫だよ 一人じゃないよ

ありのままのあなたを 愛している

空に浮かぶ星のように

あなたらしく 輝いていて

見えない恐れを愛に変えよう

素晴らしい世界を描いていこう

    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.
