about

●This song is included in the album "Gratitude" released in 2014, but this piano version was recorded in 2021. This song was written for my friends and fans all over the world and is very important to me. I have sung this song many times with my band and acoustic guitar. And this time I sang this song with the piano. It's something I've always wanted to do. I dedicate this piano version to all my friends and fans around the world. I hope you enjoy this version along with the original version.

●この歌は、2014年にリリースしたアルバム「Gratitude」に収録されていますが、このピアノ・ヴァージョンは2021年に録音しました。この曲は、世界中にいる友やファンの皆さんの為に書かれ、僕にとってとても大切な歌です。僕は幾度となくこの歌をバンドやアコースティックギターと共に唄い続けてきました。そして今回僕はピアノと共にこの曲を歌いました。それは僕が以前からやりたかった事でした。このピアノ・ヴァージョンを世界中にいる僕の友やファンの皆さんへ捧げます。オリジナルヴァージョンと共にこのヴァージョンを楽しんでいただけたらと思います。

Thank You For Being A Friend
-ありがとう友よ-

Written by Toshikazu Maruno

There are friends united by music.
There’s a bond made by music.
I hope to see your smile today.
I send my voice to the world with all my heart

Filled with heartfelt appreciation today,
“Thank you”
This song is for you
Thank you for being a friend

“Long time no see! Let me hear your voice
and your new song”
backed by unchanging, warm friendship
I can push forward today

Filled with heartfelt appreciation today,
“Thank you”
This song is for you
Today somewhere in the world
A friend is listening to my songs
Thank you for being a friend, I’ll never forget you

I courageously took a step… with no fear
The day my voice went out to the world
Now supported by many encounters and friendships
I keep answering the voices of my friends

Filled with heartfelt appreciation today,
“Thank you”
This song is for you
Today somewhere in the world
My friends are listening to my songs
Thank you for being my friends, I’ll never forget you

音楽で繋がる友がいる
音楽で築いた絆がある
君の笑顔に今日も出会えますように
僕は心を込めて世界へと歌声を届けるよ

今日も心から感謝の気持ちを込めて
“ありがとう”
この歌は君の為にある
“ありがとう”友よ

“久しぶりだね、また君の歌声と
新しい歌を聴かせてくれないか”
変わらない、温かい友の優しさに
僕は背中を押され今日も前へと進むことができる

今日も心から感謝の気持ちを込めて
“ありがとう”
この歌は君の為にある
今日も世界の何処かで
僕の歌を聴いてくれる友がいる
“ありがとう”友よ、僕は君のことを忘れない

勇気を出して一歩を踏み出した… 恐れずに
世界へ僕の歌声が届いた、あの日…
今では沢山の出会いと友情に支えられて
僕は友の声に今日も応え続けてゆく

今日も心から感謝の気持ちを込めて
“ありがとう”
この歌は君の為にある
今日も世界の何処かで
僕の歌を聴いてくれる友がいる
“ありがとう”友よ、僕は君のことを忘れない

about

Toshikazu Maruno Kagoshima, Japan

As for the work, he does all the production of the work by himself, from writing lyrics, composing, arranging, recording, and video production. As for songwriting, I believe in writing melodious songs with hooks by skillfully adding Japanese lyrics to the melodies cultivated by listening to Western music in the 80's. In recent years, he has also worked on film soundtracks. ... more
