Lyric

If (Calla Version)

NTsKi

If I asked you not to go

If I had not let you go

If I asked you not to do

If I had not let you do

大好きだってあなたへ囁く前に

I can't reach you

もう一度だけあなたへ触れたくなって

I told you so

どうやって？

If I asked you not to go

If I had not let you go

If I asked you not to do

If I had not let you do

大好きだってあなたへ (If I asked you not to go)

囁く前にI can't reach you (If I had not let you go)

Calla

NTsKi

NTsKi 2nd album. The field-recorded sounds of nature, the fluctuating rhythms and voices, and the organic sound are warm and intimate, while NTsKi's distinctive melancholic voice reminds one of nostalgia and good old-fashioned Japanese songs. Throughout entire album, more Japanese lyrics are used than ever before. The songs contain words to express feelings, memories, and love for her mother as she traces her happy memories from her childhood to the present after her beloved mother passed away last year. An album capturing love is delivered to the world, where each listener can feel intimacy with their own experience.
