Official translation
This is the only battle song I've written. The guitarist is Takamichi Tsugei! He has been playing for me in live performances and recordings since I debuted as a singer. Shuntaro Kado on drums! Miyajima-kun on bass. Strings are by Mr. Manabe Strings. And the piano is by Mr. Kishida. I sang the new chorus. It's a more powerful music than the original.
Original text
唯一のバトル曲です。 ギターは告井孝通さん! 歌手デビューの当初からライブや録音でお世話になっています。 ドラムはかどしゅんたろうさん! ベースは宮島くん。 ストリングスはもちろん真部さんのストリングス。 そしてピアノは岸田さんです。 コーラスも録音しなおしています。 ほぼ生演奏でやらせて頂きました。 オリジナルよりもがっしりしたイメージがあります。
