Rainy Days ~ Dear Nancy Front Cover

Lyric

A tale made up

Takemi Otsuki

そんなに冷たい 言葉を 聞かせないで おくれよ

昨日までは あんなにやさしく 微笑んで

二人 サヨウナラは 云わない はずだったのに

寒い肩を 温めながら 雨に濡れて 歩いたことさえ

君は 忘れて しまうだなんて

とても不思議な 出逢いだった あの日も今日と よく似た

紫陽花色の 雨が 雨が 降っていて

あれからいつも 二人は しあわせだったのに

君は 僕を 愛してくれて

いつまでも 終わりのないものと

君だって 君だって 君だって そうだっただろう

ひと時の 気まぐれに 過ぎないのか

すべて 嘘で 固めた つくりばなし

追いかけて行っても もう 遅すぎるんだね

小さくなって 消えて行く 君の うしろすがたは

今の僕には 辛すぎるよ 今の僕には 辛すぎるよ

ちっぽけな記憶 辿って 思い出して みようか

見つめ合った 視線の奥の 優しさを

いつも 頬を染めて くちづけ 交わしていても

愛してると 言葉にすれば 何もかもが 消え去ってしまう

そんな 怖さに 震えていたね

ちっちゃなベッドで いだき合って ぬくもりを 伝えあってた

涙に映る 虹が 虹が 輝いて

そのまま二人 一緒に 時間を重ねたね

僕は 君を 愛し続けて

どこまでも 寄り添ってくはずと

君だって 君だって 君だって そうだっただろう

正直に 生きてれば 今の愛も

明日に なれば 古びた つくりばなし

縋りついてみたって 君 想いのままだね

過去の自分 塗り替えて 今朝は もう別の人

そんな姿は 辛すぎるよ そんな姿は 辛すぎるよ

    I always loved you

    Takemi Otsuki

I began writing lyrics and music in the latter half of junior high school. I started by having my music teacher correct me and writing songs to lyrics spelled out by a girl in my class.

Her name was Ms. Nancy.

From that time on, I wrote the lyrics first and then spun the melody. We went to separate high schools, but we exchanged lyrics like a correspondence. We wrote more than 30 songs together in that way.

When I put music to the lyrics that someone else had written, I would encounter word choices and word arrangements that I had not envisioned, and the melodies inspired by them would become gems of music that would not have come from my own lyrics.

For this album, I decided to bring back the nostalgic memories of those days and to convey new life to those songs, so I newly arranged, performed, and sang almost all the songs with supplementary lyrics, while using DTM, an electronic piano-based system.

And in her honor, we decided to call it "Dear Nancy".

And for the lyric card, we asked pupapo design to illustrate and draw the lovely scenes attracted by each song with a touch of watercolor painting. I would like to express our deepest gratitude to them.
