As For One Day
As For One Day is the 18th single for Morning Musume.
And for me, it was the last single as a Morning Musume.
This song is really important to me.
I graduated on May 5th, 2003.
The opening of the graduation concert was As For One Day.
I cried before the concert started.
I remember singing As For One Day with tears in my eyes.
Graduating was a big thing for me.
And this song is the last one.
It's a song with the members.
For example, eye contact on the stage, dance lessons, rehearsals, etc.
Compared to other songs, I think this is the last one.
I'm doing it while thinking that this is the last one.
As for One Day, Tsunku-san gave me a present.
I've been singing this song since Summer Night Town.
Actually, I don't listen to what I sang on the recording.
Because I have taken many takes.
But I always ask the MD to bake the best take.
I bring it home and listen to it.
Even if the recording is over, I always ask the staff to bake it.
However, as I got busier and busier, recording became more and more like a part-time job.
In the past, I used to spend a lot of time singing a song, but now it's becoming more and more like a part- time job.
Even if I get an MD, my voice is only included in that part.
At first, it was Yasuda Kei's voice in one chorus, but it gradually became less and less.
At the time of As For One Day, Tsunku-san said,
Let's sing all of this. I was wondering why, but I was happy to be able to sing, so I thought it was okay.
When I sang, Tsunku-san said,
Yes, this is an MD.
He processed As For One Day, which I sing alone, properly.
He gave me my own As For One Day as an MD, and I still take it with great care.
I think Tsunku-san has seen it for five years, and he likes to take it as an MD and listen to it.
He remembered it somewhere, and at the end he said,
And Never Forget.
This is a song that Asuka Fukuda sang when she graduated.
As I graduated this time, I got to sing Never Forget in my own voice.
I didn't expect that I would be able to sing the chorus in my own voice in a single.
Tsunku-san knew that I loved singing, so I think Never Forget is a gift from Tsunku-san.
I think it's the culmination of what I've been doing for the past five years.
I worked hard on Never Forget, so it's an important CD for me.
It's a family, a rival, and I think it's different depending on the time.
At first, it was more of a rival than a friend.
But eventually I realized that I had to be the center.
I think that's what I started to respect.
It's hard to say it in one word, but now we're a family.
Even when I'm an old lady, I'm sure we're all drinking tea and talking about how it was back then.
I think I've made friends that I'll never see again.
