Rainy Days ~ Dear Nancy Front Cover

Lyric

Secret things

Takemi Otsuki

そんな話は もうよそうよ もっと歩こうか

それとも…

ブランコにでも 揺れようか

やりきれないんだ

きみの暗い 淋しそうな横顔が

できれば…

君の心の傷を すっぽり覆いつくして

それだけでも

何かが変われば いいんだけど

寄り添うことは 僕にもできる 小指を繋いで

そのまま…

時を忘れて 抱いてあげるよ

哀しい出来事

襲い掛かる 打ちのめされているのか

できれば…

君の涙の雫 すっかり拭い去ったら

見知らぬ街

二人で暮らして いいんだけど

今日のきみは まるで別人 何があったのか

そんなに…

隠さなくっても… わかるんだ

強がりはおやめ

きみはなぜ… 嘘の微笑み 浮かべて

できれば…

君の心の中に こっそり入って行って

その翳りを

盗んで行っても いいんだけど

    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.
