Argona Tanka Part 4

Introduction

This is Argona Tanka Part 4.
I've written so much lately that I've lost track of what I should write here.
I don't really have much to say.
Since I have no choice, I'll just write down my wishes.

from ARGONAVIS, please resume activities soon!
Release new songs! Release discs! Hold concerts!

Tanka

Pouring my heart into the encore, I raise my voice, putting even greater wishes into it.

Personally, this is a song about will, but while writing it, I realized it's also a song about the entire project.
Since the hiatus was announced, I think that, to a greater or lesser extent, during encores, we were wishing not just for 'this curtain to rise,' but for 'the project to open again after the curtain falls'... and it was with 'will' that I felt that most strongly.
Just as I wanted this voice to reach Argonavis, I also wanted it to reach the staff who were likely in the venue.

The voice I hear from above strikes my heart, and I feel that everything about it is love.

This is also a song about 'will.'
Fortunately, I was able to get a seat on the first floor for 'will,' but during the call, I could hear voices so, so clearly from both the second and third floors, and I was overcome with emotion.
Are you listening, staff? Look at how much they are loved.
With the seats so full and everyone calling out, what else could you call this but love?

With you, who makes me laugh until the very end, even this |intermission| will have a rainbow over it.

Furai Warabe-uta is my favorite.
I love that Furai released that song during the 'intermission' before their hiatus.
No matter how much we cry, I know Furai will make us laugh.
A rain of tears and a rainbow of smiles. I chose my words with Beyond the Rainbow in mind as well.

Picking up a Kakuni Manju at the exhibition hall, this too is something you taught me.

I'm not very familiar with Nagasaki gourmet food, so my encounter with Kakuni Manju was through Furai.
To me, Iwasaki Honpo*1 is a company that occasionally comes to the exhibition spaces of department stores in Tokyo, and when they are nearby, I go to visit them with the feeling that I'm taking care of Furai.
I was happy that they displayed Furai's acrylic stands the other day.
I'm happy that the things everyone taught me are a part of me.

That voice, the resonance of the |strings|, the vibration, becomes a tailwind racing into the distance.

As stated in the caption.
FANFARE. Nayuta MC Trilogy.
Originally, I had created the third poem first, but while re-reading the MC transcripts for that purpose, two more poems were added.

※I apologize for using my own tweets, but there is no place to read the full text officially... I want them to release the discs soon so I can watch them anytime.

The upper phrase is about the musical expression of Nayuta and the others, but I wonder if it was conveyed without explanation that 'vibration' refers to the drums...

Nayuta, who said they had come so far.
The music of GYROAXIA, which turned into a tailwind the more they played.
Dreaming of the day they climb even further to even greater heights.

Speaking of the song itself, I hope I was able to express the way it gains momentum with the three consecutive phrases: 'that voice,' 'the resonance of the strings,' and 'the vibration'.

Raising my voice toward that sky forever, believing in the path that will one day be completed.

I was happy to see it conveyed in the RT, but I was conscious of aligning the endings and rhyming with "mukete" (toward), "koe agete" (raising my voice), and "shinjite" (believing).
Also, I was somewhat conscious of both the upper and lower phrases starting with "itsu" (when/always).

I thought about including the nuance of "even if I'm all alone," but I intentionally left it out.
Because even if I were to end up all alone, I intend to keep raising my voice to say I love GYROAXIA, and I thought that since we still love GYROAXIA so much, there's no chance of a day coming where I'll be all alone.

Since Nayuta says not to stop and not to be satisfied, I intend to keep saying I love GYROAXIA forever.

What is the boundary between a blessing and a curse? If it comes from you, I suppose anything is fine.

I have various thoughts about blessings and curses (which is why another poem about blessings and curses appears later), but I read the feeling that if it comes from Nayuta, anything is fine just as it is.

I like the rhythm and atmosphere of the flow from "What is it?" to "anything is fine."

Either is fine. As long as it's from Nayuta.

Smash everything to pieces with that sound, change the world and the era entirely.

THRONE BREAKER song.
It's good to compose as many songs as you like about your favorite tracks.

Smash this boring world already! Change everything with Nayuta's music! There are days when I feel like throwing a tantrum like that.
I wish GYROAXIA would hurry up and take the top of the world.

Taking aim and shooting through with the bass gun, with a fearless smile and a lick of the lips.

MANIFESTO A song dedicated to Ryo Akebono's "BANG!" in the second verse's A-melody.
Everyone likes it, right? I like it too.
This is simple so there's nothing to talk about, but if you'd like, I'd be happy if you could play any "BANG!" and think together with me that it really is the best!

Today will definitely become a blessing, because I know we will surely meet again.

This is a song about blessings and curses.
Regarding FANFARE., Nayuta said that whether today becomes a curse or a blessing depends on the situation at the time, but I think that changes depending on the circumstances.
Specifically, whether activities resume or not.
Or whether one can truly believe in a resumption.
Nayuta's words, telling us to raise our voices and that the path continues, will be a guidepost (blessing) for the future as long as we can believe in a resumption, and will become a wound that aches every time we remember it (curse) if we can no longer believe.

That's why I decided to assert that it will definitely be a blessing.
Because I don't want to give up.
Because I don't want to make it a curse.

But that is precisely why this is, after all, a song about blessings and curses.
I think whether this song becomes a blessing or a curse depends entirely on the resumption of the project.

Well, it feels like what I'm saying is completely different from the song three poems ago, but both are my true feelings.
I want to make it a blessing no matter what, but even if it were to become a curse someday, I would be happy if it came from Nayuta.

I've ended up with nothing but my own theories on blessings and curses, so to touch on the song itself, I like the part where I repeated the assertions of "definitely" and "surely."
I like that the essence of a song layered with strong words is a prayer.

In closing

This time, it ended up being nothing but songs about GYROAXIA.
Or rather, I've become embarrassed about talking only about Nayuta.
Well, but, if you try to give shape to someone's "like" just as it is, it's embarrassing to a greater or lesser degree, and since the writing fans do is good including that aspect, I've decided to publish it as is.

It will finally be fifty poems by the next one.
See you again soon.
