Lyric

Singing, Smiling

Deris Takagi

Something is going right

You came into a world today

O Something beautiful

And wonderful

Nothing can take that away

Something has changed today

One and one became three

O you are beautiful

And wonderful

We always love you so

Singing, Smiling

No matter what you do

Singing, Smiling

Making the best for you

(Interlude)

Everything is brighter now

You came into a world today

O you brought happiness and Love

Into our lives again

The world is new today

You made your family whole

O you are beautiful

And wonderful

We love to watch you grow

Singing, Smiling

You're growing everyday

Singing, Smiling

Sharing your happiness

Life can be a rough ride

But we're alway on your side

Keep moving forward

One step, one step

Singing, Smiling

No matter where you are

Singing, Smiling

Making your dreams come true

Making your dreams come true

You are our dream come true

Artist Profile

  • Deris Takagi

    物心ついた頃から音楽に興味を示し、3歳の頃、独学でピアノを弾き始める。 夜中にこっそりテレビをつけ、クラシック番組を観ては怒られる日々。 中学3年生の時、テレビでポルノグラフィティを観たことがきっかけで、それまでクラッシックにしか興味がなかったのが一転、POPSを歌い始める。 歌の基礎を学ぶため、高校卒業と同時にオーストリア、ウィーンのグスタフ・マーラー音楽院Solo Gesang科に進学。 副科のピアノ試験では審査員からスタンディングオベーションが起こるなど、歌以外でもその音楽性を発揮。 2回の飛び級を経て、審査員全員満点でディプロム課程修了。 同年、ウィーン国立音楽大学サマーセミナーでディプロム過程修了。 帰国後はボーカルインストラクターや高級ホテルラウンジでのJASS演奏、ディナーショー出演の仕事をしながら、ロック、ポップス、ジャズ、歌謡曲、ボカロやアニソン系のライブに多数出演。
