To Beautiful Me / キレイな、私に Kirei na, Watashi ni
This song was written and composed by Sorawo Amano, a pen name Akira
Ishida had used on the internet before he started to produce the idol
unit "Team MII", the precursor of 3776.
He left four songs on this page*1 and this song "Kirei na , Watashi ni" is by far the best song, I suppose. I really love this song and it was a big suprise when Chiyono suddenly started to sing this on the debut stage of 3776 Season#4(May 3, 2017). That moment was one of the most amazing moment of my 3776 experience, knowing Mr Ishida's rough period before Team MII (You can read that here and here)
Namba(Interviewer): ...And then, after you leave the theater company, you go into a white-collar career, right?
Ishida: I joined a sort of electronics company, and that's where I learned to use the computer. I decided to quit music completely.(...) I was even engaged in farming.
Namba: Farming! Throwing everything (about your music career?)...
Ishida: Yes. But that that farming career also wrecked. I started doing it as a "live-in" job, but after two or three months I realized that it wasn't for me (laughs). I was in my late 30s, I guess. (...) It was such a waste of time, and I wished I hadn't done it. There was even a time after that when I decided to get married and settle down. That was the worst part of my life. I don't even want to remember it.
Namba: Ha-ha! You think that the time when you tried to settle down was the worst.
Ishida: My friends who knew me at that time say that my eyes were dead back then. *2
(Underline added by me)
Knowing this, and this song was created around May 2010 (I think it overlaps with his dead-eyed period), this very romantic poem and melody are almost painful. I, when I listened in Fujinomiya to Chiyono singing this song for the first time, I felt the pain of his on those days was rescued and sublimed (after the success as the 3776 producer, and being played in a 3776 concert.) I am glad this song was recorded with Chiyono's vocal:
