Audience- |

Hm- |

Audience- |

M- |
Hamachan, hey Hamachan...! You've gone too far... |
Hm- |
(to Matchan) Hey, wait a minute! (audience laughs) - (audience applauds Matchan for siding with X) I'm just reading what it says! |
M- |
No, no Hamachan... |
Hm- |
(to audience) Tell me if I'm wrong! |
M- |
Hamachan... Hama... don't do this to them... (audience laughs) |
Hm- |
Is it because you haven't finished the stuff to be released for X Japan? |
Y- |
Anything related to X is my responsibility... |
Hm- |
Yes, yes, yes. |
Y- |
We're doing it centered around me... |
Hm- |
Yes, yes. |
Y- |
Between, when there's time they... |
Hm- |
They are doing their solo work. |
Y- |
Yeah... |
Hm- |
So they were waiting for you to finish? |
Y- |
Yes. |
Hm- |
And yet, you went to Las Vegas... |
Y- |
No, no... that was only a day! (audience laughs) |
Hm- |
So you came back because you were done... |
Y- |
Done with what? (audience laughs) |
Hm- |
The X Japan songs, which everyone waited for you to finish, were completed, so you came back? |
Y- |
Yeah, yeah, yeah... |
Hm- |
Hmmm. |
Y- |
Uhm, I was also making a video... |
Hm- |
Hmmm... how many songs have you made? |
Y- |
Uhh... we made our songs maybe 2 years ago, right? (looking at the others) - (Hamachan loses it, drops his pointer on the floor and makes a pissed off face) - (audience laughs) |
Hm- |
So why the hell did you people go over there for?! (audience laughs) |
Y- |
It's really hard to explain X Japan... |
Hm- |
Ah... yeah, I see... |
M- |
(to Hamachan) It's a different world from ours |
Hm- |
(to Matchan) They're different from regular musiciens... |
M- |
(to Hamachan) That's right. |
Y- |
It's very complex... |
Hm- |
Hmmm. |
Y- |
(turns to hide) Right? |
H- |
(turns to Pata) Yeah? |
P- |
(turns to Heath) Yeah? (audience laughs) |
Hm- |
Don't pass it on, don't pass it on! |
M- |
When it reaches over here, I wonder what kinda word it'll have change into...? (audience laughs) |
