I was excited on which song will I cover when I received this offer!

To make it simple, I was glad that I was able to cover “However” by my idol GLAY-san!!!
The recording was a blast and I enjoyed it together with the director, sound engineer, and all the staff!
It seemed that everyone is a fan of GLAY-san. Haha.

I had sang “However” while putting in all my youth.
It will surely be a nostalgic song to everyone of my generation, and I am happy that the younger generation will get to know more about the songs that lighten up the youth of our generation!

This is a slightly special project other than the character songs as well as my career as a singer. I believe that by covering these songs, our respective special memory will help to liven up the song. Thus, I am glad to receive this offer.

◆Please tell us your impression and thoughts after the recording
This is a song that I had listen to multiple times during my high school period, and it feels quite strange that I am able to undergone an official recording of it when I become an adult. Haha.
I am feeling both profound and honored at the same time.
As I had previously co-star with Nakashima Mika-san in a musical few years back, I had sang this song while thinking about this fated bond.

◆Please give us a message to the readers, who are looking forward to the release
To put it simple, I had sang it emotionally.
I am happy that I am able to share my memory with the fans of “Yuki no Hana” as well as to transmit the merits of this song to the firstcomer.
The original version by Nakashima Mika-san is fabulous, so please check it out as well.

Namikawa Daisuke (Covering “Kimi ni Todoke in “~10’s-20’s Edition~”)

◆Please tell us your feeling on your participation in this series
As this is my first time singing without being in a role, I felt quite excited and nervous.

◆Please tell us your impression and thoughts after the recording
The impression between my version and the original is so different as if it was a totally different song.
It was hard! The hurdle was high! And it makes me fatigue.

◆Please give us a message to the readers, who are looking forward to the release
I believe the each of the singer have their own thoughts when singing the song.
So, you might experience something new when listening to it.
I will do my best so that it will be leave a deep impression in you as if it like “Kimi ni Todoke (To reach you)”
