[Jweb Translation] Okurabu Vol 162 (Ohkura Tadayoshi's Jweb)
Hi sorry! Allow me to share this one Jweb entry here ya, m(_ _)m. Related to the release of 8beat album today :3
Vol 162
Today, the album is released.
I think we get to challenge this musically
And when one listen to it again, it properly shows that
it's not like we didn't do anything in this 4 years.
But instead, we had been making desperate efforts.
It's something that makes me think deeply.
During those time, a lot of things other than happy things had happened
And we made all of you experience painful feelings
And I think we have made you think that "If only I haven't like you, then
I wouldn't have to suffer like this."
But, it made me realize that,
the scenery one gets to finally see after overcoming something,
There's scenery that you will never know if you haven't even once
fall into pieces.
I don't know what is the correct answer,
but I believe that if I live on with the utmost effort like I did back then,
then I'll be alright.
As long as my future self makes my past self as the correct answer,
then it'll be fine.
I think, we are the type of idols that are so rare in the sense that
we show too much of our behind the scene selves to the point of
stripping ourselves bare naked. (*metaphorically speaking)
But that, is because this is the path that we walk together with you.
It's not only us that are moving forward,
it's because I feel that we are living in this story together.
The reason why we screamed "Tomoyo (Friend)", it's because you are here
The ones who prepares us the stage of delight (Kanki no Butai) are you
If the path that we have been walking on so far is turned into a movie
It probably will become one magnificent movie
But I'm sure the background music will be Zukkoke or Zutaboro
And so I think it will be edited into a comedy movie instead.
Probably a story where one laugh while one cries too.
However, this movie is not a movie that have been completed yet.
And, it's not like we're aiming for the completion of this movie anyway.
I wonder if this album had really become a gift and a present to all of you?
To all the artists who join forces with us making this album.
All the writers.
The Infinity staffs who tried so hard on thinking about the right extra videos
that could embody these 4 years.
The people of the agency who liven up Kanjani8.
Also, above all else, you who picked this album up.
I'm thankful to you from the bottom of my heart.
