<voice: Hekiru-san, that was great!>

Thank you!

Since the second album, I have spoken with the staff about a lot of things, many times. I've really let things ride. It's been a year since I started singing, just one year. Since I released the solo album and have been singing solo all this time, it's been really just one year, just gone in a flash.

In the phrases that I hold dear, there is "Don't lose out to yourself", "Don't lose out to your own weakness", but the ones who let me know that, "if there is something you don't have, then you have nothing more to lose, and if you have nothing to lose, why don't you go ahead and add to it", the ones who taught me that - the myriad of people, all this time, quietly, gently, looking after me - they are, my family, or my friends, the staff, the people who wrote in to me, and all you you who have come all the way here today.

Even when I feel like I'm about to be defeated, you say, "We're doing our best too! So do your best as well!"

<voice:?>

I will do my best.

<voice: That's right! Go for it!>

I will never forget the thanks, all the thanks that I have received from you all. So that's why I will return all the courage and energy that I have received from you. I will always go on with that in mind.

<voice: Do your best!>
