Toritori.
Thank you very much!
Sorry for writing about personal stuff, but since my father is from Toritori, I came here often during my summer breaks as a kid. At that time, the possibility that I could one day come and perform a live in Toritori, didn’t even cross my mind. That’s why I am overly happy that I could come to Toritori during our tour.
I have a lot of relatives in Toritori, so today my grandfather, grandmother and other relatives too came to see me.
When I came to Toritori as a kid, there was an old man whom I really liked and who was always nice to me. Because he was a really kind and a warm person, I really liked him. This old man waited for my live with excitement, but sadly he went to heaven just a little while before it took place.
Today I wanted my grandfather and grandmother, aunts, relatives to see me trying my best so I sang with all my might. I wanted to let the old man, looking down on me from heaven, see me energetic so I sang with all my might. And above all, I wanted all the eighters, who came to the venue, to have fun, wanted to convey energy, courage and aspiration so I sang putting my entire body into it and conveyed it.
Again, it was a live where I felt how many people made me alive. I won’t forget what happened today until I go to the old man’s place*. It will make the old man happy when we and the eighters laugh.
The tour is also slowly coming to an end. I’ll sing enjoying it and with a sense of myself to the very end.
Also eighters. Today was a good live! Toritori, I’ll be back! Toritori eighters, thank you! Thank you for your hard work!
