| M- |
| Yes |
| Hm- |
| Before the show started, Yoshiki didn't come down... so I thought maybe he went home... |
| M- |
| Everyone thought that perhaps he went home, I thought that he maybe hasn't shown up yet (audience laughs) |
| Hm- |
| But it wasn't like that.. everyone's here. |
| M- |
| Yeah. (Yoshiki grabs his drink right after it was served) |
| Hm- |
| Oh! going for it already... (audience laughs) Well, lets drink, lets drink... uhm, has it been a while since you guys meet up with each others? |
| Y- |
| No... (looks at Toshi) meeting today... |
| T- |
| It's been a while. |
| Y- |
| It's been few months, right? |
| T- |
| Uh huh. |
| Hm- |
| Eh? For everyone? |
| Y- |
| Yeah, I came back yesterday... or was it today? |
| M- |
| From Awaji Island? |
| Hm- |
| (to Matchan) What?! (audience laughs) Why was he in Awaji Island?? |
| M- |
| (to Hamachan) From where then? |
| Hm- |
| (to Yoshiki) From Los Angeles? |
| Y- |
| Yes, yes |
| Hm- |
| (to Matchan) From Los Angeles... |
| M- |
| Uhhh... for not seeing each other a lot, you guys sure can do it! |
| T- |
| Do what? |
| M- |
| What?... (audience laughs) Well, when I uh... (pointing to Hamachan) you... uh... |
| Hm- |
| HA- MA-DA |
| M- |
| Hamada, Hamada. (audience laughs) If I don't see Hamada for 6 months or so, it gets tough... |
| T- |
| Ahhh. |
| M- |
| Maybe that's different for musicians, huh? |
| Hm- |
| How is it? (looks at Yoshiki)-(Yoshiki laughs) What is so funny?! (audience laughs)-(to Yoshiki) do you have a bit of jet lag? |
| Y- |
| Yes completely... (audience laughs) |
| Hm- |
| During that time, do you guys have done something on your own? (to hide) I saw you. |
| H- |
| Eh? huh? |
| Hm- |
| For that sick girl... you did some stuff. |
| H- |
| Ahh... yes yes... |
| Hm- |
| With THOSE hair... (audience laughs) What you have done is great... |
| M- |
| Yeah... |
| Hm- |
| (looking at Pata) the rest of you... |
| P- |
| Yes? |
| Hm- |
| During that time... |
| P- |
| I had a part-time job at his place. (pointing hide)-(audience laughs) |
| M- |
| A part-time job? |
| P- |
| Yes |
| M- |
| What were you doing? |
| P- |
| I had a part-time job playing guitar with him... |
| M- |
| Ahh. |
| Hm- |
| Oh, that kind of part-time job? I thought you were helping out his family business or something (audience laughs) |
| M- |
| So individually, you guys were doing stuff, huh? (to Heath) What were you doing? |
| E- |
| I was recording the whole time... |
| M- |
| Alone? |
| E- |
| Yes, alone... |
| M- |
| Ehhh... eh? You played alone like this (pretending to play bass) and saying 'that wasn't right', going outside, do this (pretending to mess with the mixers), and then do this (pretending to play bass again). (audience laughs) |
| Hm- |
| Hey, that's way too much for one single person! |
| M- |
| (to Toshi) I saw you... |
| T- |
| Really? |
| M- |
| You were on 'Tetsuko no Heya', weren't you? |
| T- |
| Yes... |
| M- |
| I happened to be watching... (audience applauds) |
| Hm- |
| Oh, really? |
| M- |
| I thought to myself 'whoa... he's on 'Tetsuko no Heya' by himself! |
| Hm- |
| Huh... |
| M- |
| That's gotta be tough... (audience laughs) Being on that show is like being victim of a hit-&-run (audience laughs) |
| Hm- |
| (to Yoshiki) And you were recording? |
| Y- |
| I was in L.A. |
| Hm- |
| What were you doing? |
| Y- |
| Working on a video... |
| Hm- |
| Hmmm... |
| Y- |
| Yeah... |
| Hm- |
| Just working? (Yoshiki sips his drink) I bet you didn't have much work and were playing around! (audience laughs) |
| Y- |
| I went to Las Vegas once... |
| Hm- |
| Ahh! You see! You were goofing off! (audience laughs) You went to Las Vegas and gambled and... |
| Y- |
| Yes. |
| Hm- |
| Did you make any money? |
| M- |
| What was it? Was it this? (pretending to play slot machine) |
| Y- |
| Uhm, what was it called... you do this (pretending to throw dices) like 'BAN!' (imitating sound of dices hitting table)-(audience laughs) |
| M- |
| (On a sarcastic tone) That was 100% understandable. (audience laughs) |
| Hm- |
| What was it? |
| Y- |
| A dice game... I think it was called Craps. |
| Hm- |
| Hmm... how long did you ply in Las Vegas? |
| Y- |
| Just one day. |
| Hm- |
| Oh? Just one day?? |
| Y- |
| Yes. |
| Hm- |
| If you played just one day, I guess it wasn't that fun, huh? You should have stayed a little longer. |
| Y- |
| Yeah... I got tired (audience laughs) I left. |
| Hm- |
| Oh, you left? You said 'I'm leaving!' and took off? |
| Y- |
| Actually, I was suppose to stay longer but... |
| M- |
| '6' comes up too much! |
