HEY! HEY! HEY! MUSIC CHAMP
~ part 4 ~
M-
Last year was somewhat slow, right?
Hm-
Yes, yes.  
Y-
It wasn't slow...
Hm-
Oh, it wasn't slow
Y-
Yes
Hm-
Oh really?
Y-
I got hurt during the tour...
Hm-
You got hurt?
Y-
Yes... I hurt my neck a little.
Hm-
Ah... really?
Y-
A little bit, kinda seriously hurt it... hurt it really bad...  (audience laughs)
M-
(unclearly)  Along with taking care of your neck, what do you want to do this year?
Y-
Food? huh? (audience laughs)
Hm-
(to Yoshiki)  'Along with taking care of your neck'... I had some problems understanding him too...
M-
Oh, really?
Y-
I heard him say 'food'
Hm-
'neck'
M-
Along with taking care of your neck...
Hm-
Hmmm.
M-
What is going to happen?
Y-
It'll have to be...
Hm-
Are you guys gonna be doing your own things?
Y-
No, no, we're planning on doing some recording, but... (audience laughs) - (Hamachan extends his pointer and smashes it against the board)
Hm-
So you're going back to L.A.!! (audience laughs)
M-
I'm sorry if the way I think is so unprofessional, but... I understand that recording is hard, but... July, August, September, October and November... does it really takes THAT long?
Audience-
It does!!
M-
Why?  You just click it like this and then...  (pretends to push a record and playback button on a tape recorder with 2 fingers and pretends to play guitar) - (audience laughs)
Hm-
What, is it a tape recorder?!  (pretending to push rec/playback too) - (audience laughs)
M-
Isn't like this? (pushes rec/playback again with 2 fingers)
Hm-
Hey! Don't push two... the newer ones only use one... (audience laughs)  Why is it like that?  Do you say "Oh this isn't right" while you're recording and throw things out?
Y-
Yeah, yeah... I get sick of it...
M-
So does that mean there are some songs that don't go into the Cd?
Y-
Everyone's quite picky so...
Hm-
Oh, really?!  It seems like they wouln't say anything... (audience laughs)  They're picky huh?
Y-
They don't say much, but...
Hm-
Which is it?!  (gives Yoshiki a light elbow) - (audience laughs)
Y-
Oh yeah... hide can't taste things...
Hm-
He can't taste things? (audience surprised)  What do you mean?
Y-
Ah, ihe can taste things, but...
Hm-
Which is it?!  (light slap to Yoshiki's shoulder) - (audience laughs)
M-
I'm getting confused...
Y-
(points hide)  uhm... whatever he eats, he says it's delicious...
H-
(point Yoshiki)  He's very picky about what he eats... "/I don't want this... I don't want that..." 
Y-
No, no, no
H-
For saying all that...
Hm-
Do it! do it! do it!  Fight each other! (audience laughs)
H-
(to Yoshiki)  You started this...
Y-
No, no... in hide's case, say like you go to a restaurant...
Hm-
Hmmm.
Y-
You know how they have fish stores... not fish stores... a seafood restaurant... (audience chuckles)
Hm-
A seafood restaurant.
Y-
The ones where they have fishes in a tank...
M-
Yes, yes, yes
Hm-
Ahh...
M-
So he loses to the atmosphere...
Hm-
I see...
Y-
So if we go to a place that's a bit fancy, he says "Yoshiki, this place is good!" (audience laughs)
M-
Ah! So that pisses you off?
Y-
No, it's ok...
M-
Huh...?  It's ok? (audience laughs)
Y-
He doesn't know how to taste things... (audience laughs)
H-
But the single most favorite food of this person is uh... McDonald's morning menu... (audience laughs)
Hm-
Oh, the one with the sausages and stuff?
Y-
That just happened to be...
H-
(Imitating Yoshiki)  WOW!! THIS IS SO GOOD!!!
Y-
Just with the atmosphere, he thinks it's delicious...
