暫くの間ブログをお休みしてしまい、
みなさんにご心配をおかけしてすみません。
新聞などで既に知っている方もいらっしゃると思いますが、
先月２９日に父が他界しました。
もっと早くにみなさんにもご報告したかったのですが、
葬儀の準備や色々な手続きなどもあって、
このタイミングになってしまいました。ごめんなさい。
父は１０年前に脳梗塞で倒れ入院、
以来ずっと病院で闘病生活を送っていました。
本当に歌が大好きな父で、
若い頃はバンドを組んで歌手を目指したことも…。
その影響を多大に受け、
私も幼い頃から歌手を夢見て歌い続けて…
今の私があるのは、本当に父のお陰です。
一度、生で私のライブを見せてあげたかった…
その想いを込めて、お通夜みんなが帰った後、
父に教わった演歌を父の傍で歌いました。
そして、
「パパの娘に生まれてくることができて幸せ」と、
沢山のありがとうを伝えました。
これからはいつでもすぐに飛んで行けるから…
そんな言葉が聞こえた気がします。
今回のことを経て、今まで以上に音楽に真摯に取り組み、
大好きな歌を大好きな人達に伝えていきたいと
心から思っています。
まだまだ走り出したばかりの水樹奈々を
よろしくお願いします。
激励のメッセージをくださったみなさん、
本当にありがとうございました。
暫くはブログの更新が不定期になるかもしれませんが、
みなさんよろしくお願い致します。

Apologies for any worries I have caused as a result of my absence from this blog over the last few days
It has been in the news,
and I think most people will have heard by now that my father passed away on the 29th.
I had wanted to tell everyone about this news earlier,
but was unable to due to the preparations for the funeral
and so, it has been delayed up until now.
Apologies.
10 years ago, my father was hospitalised as a result of a stroke,
and since then he has been constantly fighting the illness.
My father was a man who truly loved music,
and in his younger days even formed a band to try to make it in the business…
This had a large influence on me.
When I was young, I too sang, dreaming of becoming a singer someday…
I am who I am now, because of my father.
I wanted him to see me sing live someday…
With that thought in my mind,
I stood beside my father when everyone had gone home after the wake,
and sang to him an enka song he had taught me.
And then, with much gratefulness I said to him,
‘I am truly blessed to have been born as Papa’s daughter’.
And somehow, I felt I could hear him saying to me,
‘From now on, just call and I’ll be there…’**
With what has now passed,
I will put my whole heart into music, more than I ever have before.
Singing the songs I love, to the people I love,
is my heart’s true desire.
I have only just begun down this road,
so please continue supporting me (Mizuki Nana) from now on.
Thank you for the many messages of encouragement I have received.
Blog updates may be irregular in the interim,
but please continue supporting me.
