STILL, I CHOOSE Front Cover

Lyric

A poem of a female swordsman

DG5

風が止んだ

鞘の中で

刃だけが知っている

The blade I chose

The life I chose

古びた戸口 夕陽の影

擦れた着物に 乾いた泥

名のある師など 持ちはしない

傷から覚えた 立ち方がある

I don’t need your praise

I don’t need your crown

ただ譲れないものがあるから

今日も静かに 柄へ手を添える

The quieter it gets

The more I hear

息ひとつ

鼓動ひとつ

怖さが消えなくても

手は震えない

No turning back

I know my way

一振りの刃に

生きてきた日々を

言葉にならない

傷まで乗せて

I don’t need permission

I don’t need a crown

誰が何と呼ぼうと

私は変わらない

ただ 私を貫く

This is my blade

This is my way

綻びた裾を 結び直して

暮れてゆく道を また歩く

守れたものも

失くしたものも

どちらも胸に 残っている

I won’t trade my heart

Just to be strong

優しさを捨てて強くなるより

優しいままで 刃を持つ

No master, no crown, no borrowed name

誰かの型じゃ測れない game

“Because you’re a woman” — save that line

取るか置くかは I decide

One breath, one step, blade stays low

見せるためじゃない that’s how I go

怒りで抜けば 刃が鈍る

Quiet resolve cuts deeper than words

No glory, no fame, nothing to prove

余計な一手はいらない move

勝ち負けよりも守るもの

Never betray myself

That’s my code

風が止まった

その一瞬

昨日の痛みも

連れて行く

Eyes ahead

Stand your ground

迷いさえ

力に変えて

一振りの刃に

生きてきた日々を

言葉にならない

傷まで乗せて

I don’t need permission

I don’t need a crown

誰が何と呼ぼうと

私は変わらない

ただ 私を貫く

This is my blade

This is my way

斬るためだけに

研いだんじゃない

抜かずに守れる

夜も知っている

What makes me strong?

I still don’t know

だから今日も

自分で選ぶ

抜くのか

鞘に残すのか

一振りの刃に

私のすべてを

過去も未来も

今へと重ねて

I don’t need permission

I know who I am

女剣士と

呼ばれるその先で

誰のためでもない

この道を行く

This is my blade

This is my life

Stand tall

Through the night

強さの答えは

まだいらない

This is my way

刃を鞘へ

静かに戻す

I chose my way

勝つことよりも

大事なものを

まだ

忘れてはいない

"STILL, I CHOOSE" album description

Even if I hesitate or get hurt, I still choose.

What DG5 depicts is not strength without hesitation.

To fall in love with someone. Things that we can't understand each other. To stop. Touching someone's way of life and knowing colors that are different from yourself. And sometimes there are nights when you don't want to hear anything.

"STILL, I CHOOSE" is an album depicting women who finally choose their own lives while having such human imperfections.

It begins with loneliness and love at night, humor, encounters with others, conflict, freedom, and determination. In "Beloved by the Sea", he rowed out into the sea that is not bound by anyone, and in "Poem of the Female Swordsman", he asks about the blade and lifestyle he chose, and in "I am me", he accepts himself, not someone else's correct answer. And with "This Is Your Moment", we will change that choice to a step towards the future.

Kanzaki Momiji's BLACK GRAVEL, Shion Asagiri's MATURE SMOKY HUSKY, Hina Shiramine's WARM SILK, Tachibana Toka's DRY CUT, Amagi Mirai's CRYSTAL POWER. The five different voices are not dyed into one, but intersect with each color.

It doesn't have to be the same.

You don't have to be perfect.

You don't have to have the right answer.

You can choose a different path from yesterday, stop, believe someone again, or choose yourself again.

STILL, I CHOOSE.

Even so, I choose.

It's not a life chosen by someone,

I choose my life.
