1
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:37,837
In a world without you
2
00:00:37,937 --> 00:00:42,876
None of my wishes could
come true, and so
3
00:00:43,343 --> 00:00:50,350
Even if valleys of
hell fire lie ahead
4
00:00:50,850 --> 00:00:55,722
What I want to protect is you
5
00:00:55,822 --> 00:01:00,860
Besides you, I don't need anything
6
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,865
Most problems are inconsequential
7
00:01:05,999 --> 00:01:11,671
I don't ask for much, God I beg you
8
00:01:11,771 --> 00:01:16,743
Let tomorrow be
not so different from today
9
00:01:16,843 --> 00:01:22,082
This body that gives out
a sigh of relief at day's end,
10
00:01:22,182 --> 00:01:29,189
There is someone that depends on it
11
00:01:30,223 --> 00:01:37,230
It's no time to be depressed
12
00:01:38,998 --> 00:01:46,005
Oh, mere numbers become special
13
00:01:48,108 --> 00:01:52,879
When I tread with you, the world
14
00:01:53,379 --> 00:01:58,184
Is breathtakingly beautiful
15
00:01:58,885 --> 00:02:03,923
In the middle of
an uninhabitable wasteland
16
00:02:04,190 --> 00:02:10,663
You squeezed back my hand
17
00:02:11,397 --> 00:02:15,869
Besides you, I don't need anything
18
00:02:16,369 --> 00:02:21,374
Most problems are inconsequential
19
00:02:21,474 --> 00:02:27,113
I don't ask for much, God I beg you
20
00:02:27,313 --> 00:02:31,851
Let tomorrow be
not so different from today
21
00:02:32,252 --> 00:02:39,259
Announcements of war commencing,
22
00:02:40,393 --> 00:02:46,799
Sounds of marching activists--
they cannot reach us here
23
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:53,106
In this room,
I want to stay a bit longer
24
00:02:54,407 --> 00:03:01,414
Oh, the smell of your skin is changing
25
00:03:03,650 --> 00:03:08,855
Should the world of your generation
26
00:03:08,955 --> 00:03:14,360
Be filled with doubt and avarice
27
00:03:14,460 --> 00:03:21,301
The stars of the clear evening sky
will still tremble
28
00:03:21,768 --> 00:03:26,673
At the radiance of you
29
00:03:26,773 --> 00:03:31,077
Besides you, I won't regret
leaving anything behind
30
00:03:32,011 --> 00:03:36,849
Most problems are inconsequential
31
00:03:36,950 --> 00:03:42,488
I don't ask for much, God I beg you
32
00:03:42,789 --> 00:03:47,293
Let tomorrow be
not so different from today
33
00:03:48,428 --> 00:03:50,964
However many times you ask me
34
00:03:51,130 --> 00:03:53,800
I want to let you hear an answer
35
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:57,270
That always stays the same
36
00:03:59,205 --> 00:04:01,774
No matter what you tell me
37
00:04:01,874 --> 00:04:04,577
I will always worry
38
00:04:04,677 --> 00:04:08,481
About your future
39
00:04:11,050 --> 00:04:17,724
Let us accept
this never-ending suffering,
40
00:04:17,824 --> 00:04:21,427
And darling, carry on with our journey
41
00:04:21,861 --> 00:04:26,933
Besides you,
there is nowhere to call home
42
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,337
In heaven and on earth, nowhere
43
00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:23,256
Beyond the black waves
44
00:05:23,356 --> 00:05:27,960
I can sense the morning
45
00:05:28,161 --> 00:05:35,168
A star that will never disappear
begins to shine in my heart
46
00:05:36,502 --> 00:05:39,472
Even sad songs will one day
47
00:05:39,539 --> 00:05:44,344
become nostalgic songs
48
00:05:44,610 --> 00:05:51,617
Invisible scars adorn my soul
49
00:05:53,052 --> 00:05:56,989
Even if I fall, I get back up
50
00:05:57,223 --> 00:06:01,060
If I'm unsure what to do, I stop
51
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,365
And I ask myself
52
00:06:05,465 --> 00:06:08,534
What would you have done?
53
00:06:09,001 --> 00:06:14,507
You are here inside my heart
54
00:06:14,607 --> 00:06:17,410
Each and every single moment
55
00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:22,248
I thought I had walked this road alone
56
00:06:22,348 --> 00:06:25,284
But the beginning of it was you
57
00:06:25,385 --> 00:06:29,389
It's a lonely road
58
00:06:32,158 --> 00:06:37,697
But I'm not alone
59
00:06:40,266 --> 00:06:41,868
That's kinda how I feel
60
00:06:42,001 --> 00:06:45,671
There was a point when I let myself
61
00:06:45,772 --> 00:06:49,609
Get a bit carried away
by my own success
62
00:06:50,276 --> 00:06:54,313
It's not so much that we live
63
00:06:54,414 --> 00:06:57,283
As it is that something is
letting us live
64
00:06:58,785 --> 00:07:02,688
Don't just believe in things
65
00:07:02,789 --> 00:07:06,626
That you can see with eyes
66
00:07:06,926 --> 00:07:12,632
There are no traffic signs
67
00:07:13,299 --> 00:07:14,467
At life's crossroads
68
00:07:14,567 --> 00:07:18,604
Whatever I am doing, whoever I am with
69
00:07:18,704 --> 00:07:22,742
This body is with you
70
00:07:22,842 --> 00:07:27,914
Even though
this road must be walked alone
71
00:07:28,014 --> 00:07:30,716
I can hear your voice
72
00:07:31,050 --> 00:07:35,321
It's a lonely road
73
00:07:37,757 --> 00:07:43,629
You are every song
74
00:07:45,865 --> 00:07:47,233
That's a fact
75
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:52,872
You are here inside my heart
76
00:07:53,072 --> 00:07:55,308
Each and every single moment
77
00:07:55,675 --> 00:08:00,713
Though we don't know
where this road leads
78
00:08:00,813 --> 00:08:03,816
I know you will be there
79
00:08:03,916 --> 00:08:07,620
It's a lonely road
80
00:08:10,490 --> 00:08:15,962
But I'm not alone
81
00:08:18,631 --> 00:08:20,132
That's kinda how I feel
82
00:08:20,266 --> 00:08:24,737
It's a lonely road
83
00:08:26,939 --> 00:08:32,411
But I'm not alone
84
00:08:35,181 --> 00:08:36,616
That's kinda how I feel
85
00:08:45,124 --> 00:08:46,659
Hey everyone!
86
00:08:48,995 --> 00:08:49,962
I'm sorry I kept you waiting!
87
00:08:51,464 --> 00:08:53,266
Today, let's get fired up!
88
00:09:09,482 --> 00:09:13,452
It's Friday afternoon,
89
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:17,590
but I'm not slacking off at work
90
00:09:17,690 --> 00:09:21,627
I manage to catch a taxi right away
(I jump in)
91
00:09:21,727 --> 00:09:25,765
Destination: You
92
00:09:25,865 --> 00:09:29,135
"Where to?"
93
00:09:29,969 --> 00:09:34,006
Oh, just somewhere nearby
94
00:09:34,106 --> 00:09:38,044
"This recession is bad for business"
95
00:09:38,144 --> 00:09:42,448
"Mind the closing door"
96
00:09:42,548 --> 00:09:46,285
Saddle the wind, ride up to the moon,
97
00:09:46,686 --> 00:09:50,523
My seat is next to you
98
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:54,727
Suddenly I come to my senses,
I feel dizzy
99
00:09:54,827 --> 00:09:58,364
'Tis all but a Spring night's dream
100
00:09:58,664 --> 00:10:02,735
Traveling Got you in my ride,
101
00:10:02,835 --> 00:10:06,372
we're illuminating the asphalt
102
00:10:06,939 --> 00:10:10,943
Traveling Where are we going?
103
00:10:11,043 --> 00:10:14,647
Anywhere as long as it's far away
104
00:10:15,081 --> 00:10:19,151
Traveling Rock it, more;
105
00:10:19,251 --> 00:10:23,122
the urge to destroy
106
00:10:23,322 --> 00:10:27,360
Traveling Go faster;
107
00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:31,030
even though there's no need to rush
108
00:10:47,913 --> 00:10:51,517
There's a song I wanna play to you;
109
00:10:52,051 --> 00:10:55,721
Endless Repeat
110
00:10:56,188 --> 00:10:59,792
It spurs on emotions;
111
00:11:00,259 --> 00:11:04,263
all according to plan
112
00:11:04,597 --> 00:11:08,134
Frolic with the waves,
seduce the clouds
113
00:11:08,668 --> 00:11:12,505
At last, we meet
114
00:11:12,838 --> 00:11:16,842
Blame it on my youth,
I give it away too quickly
115
00:11:16,942 --> 00:11:20,613
‘Tis all but dust in the wind
116
00:11:20,713 --> 00:11:24,784
Traveling Show off cleavage,
117
00:11:24,884 --> 00:11:28,621
let's get more attention than usual
118
00:11:28,954 --> 00:11:32,992
Traveling "Not here"
119
00:11:33,092 --> 00:11:36,862
We have further to go
120
00:11:37,129 --> 00:11:41,200
Traveling Lower the windows;
121
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:44,937
Fearless Mode
122
00:11:45,438 --> 00:11:49,375
Traveling "I'm good here"
123
00:11:49,475 --> 00:11:53,579
We're just going with the flow
124
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:59,719
Now's the time
everyone starts to dance
125
00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:04,290
Unable to hold it any longer,
126
00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:09,995
tonight, secret wishes are throbbing
127
00:12:10,096 --> 00:12:16,769
Now's the time everyone gets excited
128
00:12:16,869 --> 00:12:20,473
Makuhari Messe!
129
00:12:22,408 --> 00:12:25,377
Today's the final show!
Let me hear your voice!
130
00:12:26,479 --> 00:12:30,082
Traveling Got you in my ride,
131
00:12:30,516 --> 00:12:34,553
we're illuminating the asphalt
132
00:12:34,653 --> 00:12:38,591
Traveling Where are you?
133
00:12:38,691 --> 00:12:42,661
The fun is about to begin
134
00:12:42,762 --> 00:12:46,899
Traveling Rock it, more;
135
00:12:46,999 --> 00:12:51,103
the urge to destroy
136
00:12:51,203 --> 00:12:55,040
Traveling Go faster;
137
00:12:55,141 --> 00:12:59,078
it's a bit scary to stop
138
00:13:46,325 --> 00:13:53,332
If the sky isn't blue,
why not spread a blue umbrella
139
00:13:55,568 --> 00:14:01,874
The canvas is all yours
140
00:14:01,974 --> 00:14:08,981
A white flag is only for when I give up
141
00:14:11,350 --> 00:14:18,357
Right now, I am a matador,
seductive in red
142
00:14:35,007 --> 00:14:42,014
Under florescent lights
where colors fade
143
00:14:42,815 --> 00:14:48,153
I met you
on a black and white chessboard
144
00:14:49,722 --> 00:14:53,225
For a time,
145
00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:57,396
we huddled together, unsure
146
00:14:57,663 --> 00:15:04,336
A month has passed since then,
do you still remember?
147
00:15:05,004 --> 00:15:12,011
Just watching
the orange sunset next to you
148
00:15:14,079 --> 00:15:20,586
Should have been enough;
Words are the source of trouble
149
00:15:20,686 --> 00:15:27,693
I only wear black
when I pray to the dead
150
00:15:29,995 --> 00:15:36,535
A bright red smear of lipstick
that I left intentionally
151
00:15:38,437 --> 00:15:41,640
If you say
152
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:47,947
you can no longer paint imaginatively
153
00:15:49,748 --> 00:15:56,055
Re-paint the canvas,
as many times as you need to
154
00:15:56,155 --> 00:16:02,995
A white flag is only for when I give up
155
00:16:05,431 --> 00:16:12,438
Right now, I am a color
that you don't know
156
00:16:55,748 --> 00:16:57,149
Good evening!
157
00:17:08,660 --> 00:17:09,595
Um...
158
00:17:10,162 --> 00:17:15,167
thanks for coming today,
from far and wide.
159
00:17:28,113 --> 00:17:33,118
Today is my 20th debut anniversary...
160
00:17:38,157 --> 00:17:39,358
I'm getting kind of bashful here.
161
00:17:42,061 --> 00:17:47,299
Well, to spend such a day like this...
162
00:17:47,533 --> 00:17:50,335
I'm not really into being celebrated,
163
00:17:51,103 --> 00:17:52,638
you know,
164
00:17:55,207 --> 00:18:01,146
I feel very awkward to be like
the star of the party.
165
00:18:01,413 --> 00:18:04,450
But here I'll just take it as it is
and be happy.
166
00:18:04,650 --> 00:18:06,718
I'm glad to be able to spend the day
like this. Thank you!
167
00:18:44,389 --> 00:18:47,159
Don't go making me cry
from the beginning.
168
00:18:47,759 --> 00:18:50,829
I was thinking I won't need to hold back
near the end of the show but...
169
00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:52,564
My makeup is smudging.
170
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,169
You know,
171
00:18:57,903 --> 00:18:59,171
I said yesterday as well,
172
00:18:59,271 --> 00:19:00,839
but this venue feels like
a school assembly,
173
00:19:01,740 --> 00:19:04,810
because there aren't any stand seats.
174
00:19:07,479 --> 00:19:10,782
And I'm the not-very-authoritative
school principle.
175
00:19:11,250 --> 00:19:13,385
Before we proceed...
176
00:19:13,485 --> 00:19:16,822
Those who are using smartphones,
177
00:19:17,389 --> 00:19:20,159
please make sure
you don't disturb other people.
178
00:19:20,259 --> 00:19:23,996
Please make sure the screens are
as dark as possible, flashes are off,
179
00:19:24,296 --> 00:19:26,965
and if you hold them up too high
you'll block the view of others
180
00:19:27,032 --> 00:19:29,935
so hold them as low as you can.
181
00:19:30,035 --> 00:19:31,870
Thanks for your cooperation.
182
00:19:32,204 --> 00:19:32,871
Okay.
183
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:36,275
Now I sound a little like
a proper principal, don't I?
184
00:19:37,809 --> 00:19:39,211
Principal!
185
00:19:39,311 --> 00:19:41,880
Oh, "Principal"?
That's a new nickname.
186
00:19:43,382 --> 00:19:47,386
I had "Big sis" before but "Principal".
187
00:19:50,923 --> 00:19:52,624
Not bad.
188
00:19:54,626 --> 00:19:59,598
So, because the floor is flat here,
189
00:19:59,698 --> 00:20:04,269
people at the very back might be feeling
the distance even more,
190
00:20:06,038 --> 00:20:09,608
but I can see everything,
like you putting your hands up,
191
00:20:09,741 --> 00:20:11,843
and I even heard what you guys just said.
192
00:20:12,411 --> 00:20:15,414
So let's enjoy this together.
193
00:20:15,881 --> 00:20:17,583
Ok, so, that's how it goes.
194
00:20:17,683 --> 00:20:18,984
Thanks.
195
00:20:25,157 --> 00:20:30,395
I'm a prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
196
00:20:30,462 --> 00:20:33,565
Just a prisoner of love
197
00:20:34,733 --> 00:20:41,740
I'm just a prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
198
00:20:46,078 --> 00:20:51,883
I was lying without a care,
199
00:20:53,485 --> 00:20:55,187
and laughing
200
00:20:56,021 --> 00:20:58,257
And I got sick of it
201
00:20:58,523 --> 00:21:05,097
Always looking for an easy way out
202
00:21:05,330 --> 00:21:08,367
Wanting-what-you-can't-have-Blues
203
00:21:08,467 --> 00:21:12,904
Everybody is yearning for peace of mind
204
00:21:13,372 --> 00:21:18,043
We all have enough
but steal from each other
205
00:21:18,377 --> 00:21:23,015
Chasing the shadow of love
206
00:21:24,216 --> 00:21:28,887
My days that were so boring
began to shine
207
00:21:29,154 --> 00:21:34,026
From that day
that you came into my life
208
00:21:34,126 --> 00:21:38,964
I felt alright
even in solitude and in pain
209
00:21:39,064 --> 00:21:42,100
I'm just a prisoner of love
210
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,569
Just a prisoner of love
211
00:21:55,414 --> 00:22:05,190
Through sickness and in health
212
00:22:05,290 --> 00:22:09,528
Through storms and in good weather
213
00:22:09,628 --> 00:22:14,366
We shall walk together
214
00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:17,569
I'm gonna tell you the truth
215
00:22:17,669 --> 00:22:22,541
I secretly choose the harder path,
216
00:22:22,641 --> 00:22:27,379
and you cheer me on
217
00:22:27,479 --> 00:22:32,551
That is why I call you my only friend
218
00:22:33,452 --> 00:22:34,553
I no longer see
219
00:22:34,686 --> 00:22:38,357
the point of pretending
to be tough or being greedy
220
00:22:38,457 --> 00:22:43,228
It's since the day that you loved me
221
00:22:43,328 --> 00:22:45,697
I could be free and at ease,
222
00:22:45,797 --> 00:22:48,166
but I'd feel empty,
if I were all by myself
223
00:22:48,266 --> 00:22:51,303
I'm just a prisoner of love
224
00:22:51,403 --> 00:22:53,472
Just a prisoner of love
225
00:22:54,172 --> 00:23:01,012
Oh, we're almost there
226
00:23:01,947 --> 00:23:03,749
Don't you give up
227
00:23:04,049 --> 00:23:11,056
Oh, I will never abandon you, ever
228
00:23:15,527 --> 00:23:20,465
If cruel reality tears us apart
229
00:23:20,565 --> 00:23:25,137
We would only be drawn
to each other more
230
00:23:25,437 --> 00:23:30,375
I felt like I could try harder,
and harder, without a limit
231
00:23:30,475 --> 00:23:32,944
I'm just a prisoner of love
232
00:23:33,378 --> 00:23:35,313
Just a prisoner of love
233
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:40,352
Mundane, daily life
suddenly began to shine
234
00:23:40,452 --> 00:23:44,923
From that day
when my heart was stolen away
235
00:23:45,257 --> 00:23:50,061
I felt alright
even in solitude and in pain
236
00:23:50,228 --> 00:23:53,198
I'm just a prisoner of love
237
00:23:53,298 --> 00:23:55,834
Just a prisoner of love
238
00:23:55,934 --> 00:23:59,304
Stay with me, stay with me
239
00:24:00,705 --> 00:24:05,277
My baby, say you love me
240
00:24:05,977 --> 00:24:09,614
Stay with me, stay with me
241
00:24:32,938 --> 00:24:35,273
I won’t let you be alone
242
00:25:03,635 --> 00:25:10,342
Juvenile delinquents,
honor students, and teachers
243
00:25:12,844 --> 00:25:19,851
They're all the same
when they fall in love
244
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:26,091
The bass drum hitting my eardrums,
the gentle stabs of hi-hats
245
00:25:26,224 --> 00:25:30,795
A pre-chorus that makes me melt away,
melt away
246
00:25:30,929 --> 00:25:35,433
Your smile has given
my heart a Critical Hit
247
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:40,138
Before I know it, I'm so elated,
so elated
248
00:25:40,272 --> 00:25:44,776
Come closer,
249
00:25:44,876 --> 00:25:49,180
don't hold back
250
00:25:49,281 --> 00:25:52,884
Even if you get injured a little
251
00:25:52,984 --> 00:25:54,953
What's the big deal?
252
00:25:55,253 --> 00:25:56,254
Kiss and cry
253
00:25:58,924 --> 00:26:05,897
I don't like victim-mentality
254
00:26:08,233 --> 00:26:15,240
I'd rather seduce you with my eyes,
and be an accomplice
255
00:26:17,042 --> 00:26:19,144
Father's been laid-off
256
00:26:19,244 --> 00:26:21,513
The daughter is cutting her wrists
257
00:26:21,713 --> 00:26:26,117
Mother's on a diet, on a diet
258
00:26:26,351 --> 00:26:28,420
Everybody's flying solo
in the night sky
259
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,889
The moonlight eases the loneliness
260
00:26:30,989 --> 00:26:35,527
Today we're eating
a Nissin Cup Noodle, Cup Noodle
261
00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:39,798
Come closer,
262
00:26:40,265 --> 00:26:44,502
don't hold back
263
00:26:44,603 --> 00:26:48,039
Even if you do get injured a little
264
00:26:48,406 --> 00:26:50,675
What's the big deal?
265
00:26:50,775 --> 00:26:52,577
Kiss and cry
266
00:26:54,145 --> 00:26:58,717
Don't worry, baby
267
00:26:58,817 --> 00:27:05,824
All that overthinking and
over-protecting
268
00:27:06,825 --> 00:27:08,994
Don't you find it lonesome?
269
00:27:09,094 --> 00:27:10,495
Kiss and cry
270
00:27:12,464 --> 00:27:15,700
I just want to be happy
271
00:27:16,801 --> 00:27:20,905
A little more, just a little more
272
00:27:21,539 --> 00:27:24,876
I just want you to hold me
273
00:27:26,144 --> 00:27:30,682
I'm such a damn coward
274
00:27:30,782 --> 00:27:35,153
At this rate,
275
00:27:35,253 --> 00:27:39,491
nothing will have changed
by my next birthday
276
00:27:40,025 --> 00:27:43,128
I just want you to hold me
277
00:27:44,429 --> 00:27:48,800
I don't care
if I end up looking like a fool
278
00:28:08,053 --> 00:28:11,456
Be more courageous,
279
00:28:12,590 --> 00:28:15,760
let me see you go all out
280
00:28:16,828 --> 00:28:19,964
Even if you don't succeed
281
00:28:20,699 --> 00:28:22,867
It's no big deal
282
00:28:22,967 --> 00:28:24,269
Kiss and cry
283
00:28:30,508 --> 00:28:34,913
So you've been hurt a little;
284
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,650
don't give up
285
00:28:39,451 --> 00:28:42,687
Laugh it off and keep at it
286
00:28:43,154 --> 00:28:45,190
What else can we do?
287
00:28:45,290 --> 00:28:46,291
Kiss and cry
288
00:28:48,927 --> 00:28:53,131
Be more courageous,
289
00:28:53,565 --> 00:28:57,902
let me see you go all out
290
00:28:58,002 --> 00:29:01,506
Even if you don't succeed
291
00:29:01,606 --> 00:29:03,842
It's no big deal
292
00:29:03,942 --> 00:29:05,276
Kiss and cry
293
00:30:36,434 --> 00:30:41,940
Carry a love for someone,
294
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,809
mark its end, and swear:
295
00:30:45,043 --> 00:30:47,912
This is the last heartbreak
296
00:30:48,012 --> 00:30:54,652
Even sakura, shaking in the wind,
297
00:30:54,986 --> 00:30:59,858
will blossom again eventually
298
00:31:22,647 --> 00:31:26,584
The summer rain that began to fall
299
00:31:26,684 --> 00:31:31,055
passed right along my tear
300
00:31:31,222 --> 00:31:33,625
Glided ever so smoothly
301
00:31:34,259 --> 00:31:39,931
Images that overlap with memories
302
00:31:40,031 --> 00:31:45,103
Re-runs of an Autumn TV drama
303
00:31:45,803 --> 00:31:51,009
Why do I keep taking
304
00:31:51,142 --> 00:31:55,847
the same kind of punches?
305
00:31:56,281 --> 00:32:02,186
Even then I guess I will keep fighting
306
00:32:02,353 --> 00:32:07,525
That's the mystery of life
307
00:32:09,127 --> 00:32:11,229
Carry a love for someone,
308
00:32:11,329 --> 00:32:17,068
give it your all, and pray:
309
00:32:17,568 --> 00:32:20,438
This is the last heartbreak
310
00:32:20,538 --> 00:32:27,478
Even sakura, shaking in time space,
311
00:32:27,578 --> 00:32:32,350
will blossom again
312
00:32:55,239 --> 00:32:59,477
Over the repeating seasons,
313
00:32:59,577 --> 00:33:03,181
the soles of my shoes get worn
314
00:33:03,915 --> 00:33:10,455
Let go of the tension
in your shoulders,
315
00:33:12,190 --> 00:33:16,694
Keep the past stored away somewhere
316
00:33:17,462 --> 00:33:23,334
It can't be that far from here
317
00:33:23,434 --> 00:33:28,373
A landscape that is yet to be seen
318
00:33:30,008 --> 00:33:36,614
The relentless pain in my heart,
I want to overcome it
319
00:33:36,914 --> 00:33:41,352
And get closer to you
320
00:33:41,452 --> 00:33:46,657
I go round once, and come back
321
00:33:47,091 --> 00:33:52,864
Just grasping at the empty blue sky
322
00:33:53,064 --> 00:33:58,336
Carry a love for someone, mark its end,
323
00:33:58,469 --> 00:34:04,509
and swear:
Today is the first "good day"
324
00:34:04,609 --> 00:34:11,549
Even sakura, shaking in the wind,
325
00:34:11,649 --> 00:34:16,654
gently reach for you
326
00:34:27,765 --> 00:34:30,301
I love you so, love you so,
it can't be helped
327
00:34:30,535 --> 00:34:32,804
That has nothing to do with this
328
00:34:33,504 --> 00:34:36,174
I love you so, love you so,
it can’t be helped
329
00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:38,876
That has nothing to do with this
330
00:34:39,310 --> 00:34:41,512
I love you so, love you so,
it can’t be helped
331
00:34:42,180 --> 00:34:44,849
That has nothing to do with this
332
00:34:44,916 --> 00:34:47,819
I love you so, love you so,
it can’t be helped
333
00:34:47,985 --> 00:34:50,655
That has nothing to do with this
334
00:35:59,290 --> 00:36:00,691
Thank you!
335
00:36:13,337 --> 00:36:20,344
How many of you are on your own today?
336
00:36:21,045 --> 00:36:22,713
Oh there are quite a few up front.
337
00:36:23,314 --> 00:36:24,749
Are you on your own?
338
00:36:25,049 --> 00:36:28,019
You were the first one who stood up,
after hesitating a while.
339
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:32,323
Thanks.
Thanking you is a bit strange
340
00:36:32,423 --> 00:36:33,524
but I saw you.
341
00:36:34,258 --> 00:36:37,895
Yes, actually,
I can see you all quite well.
342
00:36:38,062 --> 00:36:39,363
With contact lenses.
343
00:36:39,463 --> 00:36:45,069
I have very bad eyesight,
but I can see well.
344
00:36:48,005 --> 00:36:50,007
So those who are alone are rather...
345
00:36:51,442 --> 00:36:56,013
You know, I don't play live often.
346
00:36:56,781 --> 00:36:59,817
And over this tour,
347
00:37:00,985 --> 00:37:05,022
I reflected on the importance
of having occasions like this.
348
00:37:11,429 --> 00:37:17,602
Because otherwise
I don't get to see your faces.
349
00:37:18,636 --> 00:37:22,807
So I'm going to imprint your faces
on my memory before I go home.
350
00:37:22,907 --> 00:37:24,909
So show me your faces, ok?
351
00:37:27,011 --> 00:37:29,914
I don't think many people are
filming non-stop,
352
00:37:30,014 --> 00:37:32,116
but I noticed yesterday and today
353
00:37:32,416 --> 00:37:34,885
that very few people
keep their smartphones up
354
00:37:34,986 --> 00:37:36,487
in front of their faces.
355
00:37:36,587 --> 00:37:38,556
It makes me very happy, yesterday too.
356
00:37:39,490 --> 00:37:41,993
Not that you can't take
pictures or videos;
357
00:37:42,093 --> 00:37:45,930
I just want to say I'm happy
when I can see your faces.
358
00:37:46,030 --> 00:37:48,966
Those who are alone,
don't worry and enjoy.
359
00:37:49,066 --> 00:37:50,935
I'm watching you.
360
00:37:54,972 --> 00:37:56,540
Ok, that's how it goes.
361
00:37:56,641 --> 00:37:57,842
It's my birthday!
362
00:37:57,942 --> 00:37:59,844
What? Birthday?
363
00:37:59,910 --> 00:38:00,911
Happy birthday!
364
00:38:00,978 --> 00:38:02,546
Happy birthday.
365
00:38:07,084 --> 00:38:08,552
You're welcome.
366
00:38:08,686 --> 00:38:10,855
What a courageous person.
367
00:38:13,591 --> 00:38:14,725
Well,
368
00:38:14,825 --> 00:38:16,994
today, I guess, is a celebratory day.
369
00:38:17,094 --> 00:38:20,498
Not only birthdays, but anniversaries,
370
00:38:20,631 --> 00:38:25,102
and maybe some of you have left
your kids at home for the first time...
371
00:38:25,436 --> 00:38:28,472
I guess everyone has something
in their own way
372
00:38:29,774 --> 00:38:32,076
that makes the day special...
373
00:38:34,412 --> 00:38:36,147
maybe good and bad.
374
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,718
So let's make it like
a year-end party today.
375
00:38:41,519 --> 00:38:43,587
It's that time of year.
376
00:38:44,055 --> 00:38:48,993
Some of you might even be anticipating
something scary soon...
377
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,429
Yup, so,
378
00:38:52,063 --> 00:38:56,801
let's keep it going
like this till the end.
379
00:39:09,714 --> 00:39:14,719
Always, I'd been on my own
380
00:39:15,019 --> 00:39:19,690
Living, forgetting my destiny
381
00:39:20,157 --> 00:39:27,164
And suddenly, I awaken
in a stream of light
382
00:39:28,032 --> 00:39:30,901
In the middle of the night
383
00:39:34,372 --> 00:39:38,509
Stand quietly
384
00:39:39,643 --> 00:39:44,248
at the exit
385
00:39:45,049 --> 00:39:50,054
And shoot a ray of light
386
00:39:50,321 --> 00:39:54,392
into the darkness
387
00:39:55,059 --> 00:39:57,094
In this day and age,
388
00:39:57,661 --> 00:40:00,698
promises probably make you
even more doubtful
389
00:40:01,031 --> 00:40:04,268
But I'm just saying my wishes out loud
390
00:40:04,368 --> 00:40:11,275
Let me introduce you to my family
391
00:40:11,709 --> 00:40:15,946
It's going to work out well
392
00:40:16,347 --> 00:40:21,419
Always, the two of us
393
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:26,624
Always, I will be by your side
394
00:40:26,724 --> 00:40:33,564
The light that is you, finds me
395
00:40:34,765 --> 00:40:37,067
In the middle of the night
396
00:40:43,674 --> 00:40:47,144
Enter
397
00:40:49,013 --> 00:40:53,484
a noisy street,
398
00:40:54,318 --> 00:40:58,923
take off
399
00:40:59,690 --> 00:41:03,928
the mask of destiny
400
00:41:04,328 --> 00:41:06,764
Let's stop
401
00:41:06,897 --> 00:41:10,234
the pointless exercise of trying
to predict where this is heading
402
00:41:10,401 --> 00:41:13,671
And eat something delicious tonight
403
00:41:14,104 --> 00:41:20,411
The future is so far away
404
00:41:21,078 --> 00:41:25,182
I really don't know either
405
00:41:25,749 --> 00:41:30,688
Don't complete it,
keep improving on it
406
00:41:31,021 --> 00:41:35,860
We can go one scene at a time
407
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:43,167
The light that is you,
408
00:41:44,001 --> 00:41:46,871
projects my scenario
409
00:41:46,971 --> 00:41:51,041
Let's talk more
410
00:41:51,141 --> 00:41:56,447
about the imminent future
411
00:41:57,047 --> 00:41:59,617
Turn the TV off,
412
00:41:59,717 --> 00:42:06,724
and just look at me
413
00:42:08,392 --> 00:42:13,397
No matter how good it gets,
we still can't trust it
414
00:42:13,731 --> 00:42:18,669
Even at times like this,
I will be by your side
415
00:42:18,769 --> 00:42:25,776
The light that is you, finds me
416
00:42:26,710 --> 00:42:29,313
In the middle of the night
417
00:42:29,413 --> 00:42:33,617
Let's talk more
418
00:42:33,717 --> 00:42:39,056
about the imminent future
419
00:42:39,657 --> 00:42:42,393
Turn the TV off,
420
00:42:42,493 --> 00:42:50,568
and just look at me
421
00:43:30,674 --> 00:43:33,811
...in the middle of the night
422
00:44:18,756 --> 00:44:23,060
I'm close enough to see you smile
423
00:44:23,327 --> 00:44:26,463
That's all I could ask for
424
00:44:27,998 --> 00:44:35,005
If we're friends,
it's not weird for me to be near you
425
00:44:37,207 --> 00:44:41,445
I watch him touching you
426
00:44:41,845 --> 00:44:48,852
Nights when unrequited feelings
just keep accumulating
427
00:44:51,021 --> 00:44:53,590
What am I to do?
428
00:44:54,491 --> 00:45:01,198
You pretend to be unaware
of my feelings
429
00:45:02,266 --> 00:45:08,839
Your half-assed kindness
430
00:45:10,140 --> 00:45:12,309
Makes me want to cry
431
00:45:13,844 --> 00:45:18,248
Oh, we can't be friends,
can't be friends, oh
432
00:45:18,449 --> 00:45:22,953
Oh, the reason being that
I can't help wanting to touch you, oh
433
00:45:23,053 --> 00:45:27,758
Oh, we can't be friends,
can't be friends, oh
434
00:45:27,858 --> 00:45:30,327
Oh, the reason being that
if I am not your number one,
435
00:45:30,427 --> 00:45:34,998
It's all meaningless
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
436
00:45:51,048 --> 00:45:55,853
If only I could confess,
get this off my chest
437
00:45:55,953 --> 00:45:58,055
Ha, who am I kidding?
438
00:45:58,555 --> 00:46:02,893
I can lie so well,
439
00:46:03,260 --> 00:46:06,964
but my heart is honest to a fault
440
00:46:08,365 --> 00:46:14,404
I want to kiss you,
441
00:46:14,671 --> 00:46:17,541
I don't want a hug
442
00:46:17,641 --> 00:46:23,847
Let me have one kiss
443
00:46:23,947 --> 00:46:25,649
The truth is...
444
00:46:27,751 --> 00:46:32,022
Oh, we can't be friends,
can't be friends, oh
445
00:46:32,289 --> 00:46:36,894
Oh, even now,
I can't help wanting to touch you
446
00:46:36,994 --> 00:46:40,964
Oh, we can't be friends,
can't be friends, oh
447
00:46:41,532 --> 00:46:44,735
Oh, if you end up hating me
I can no longer go on living
448
00:46:44,968 --> 00:46:51,975
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
449
00:47:03,754 --> 00:47:09,560
Embarrassing fantasies
450
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,863
and impossible dreams
451
00:47:12,963 --> 00:47:18,769
I'll just take them
452
00:47:19,303 --> 00:47:21,405
to the grave
453
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:27,044
Oh, we can't be friends,
can't be friends, oh
454
00:47:27,711 --> 00:47:31,982
Oh, the reason being that
I can't help wanting to touch you, oh
455
00:47:32,349 --> 00:47:36,086
Oh, we can't be friends,
can't be friends, oh
456
00:47:36,954 --> 00:47:39,389
Oh, the reason being that
if I am not your number one,
457
00:47:39,489 --> 00:47:46,496
It's all meaningless
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
458
00:48:15,859 --> 00:48:16,760
Thank you!
459
00:48:24,868 --> 00:48:29,873
Allow me to introduce to you,
dancer Fukiko Takase-San!
460
00:48:30,374 --> 00:48:31,742
Whoooa! Yay!
461
00:48:39,216 --> 00:48:43,420
In the music video of
the single "Forevermore",
462
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,856
I was suddenly required
to do contemporary dance.
463
00:48:46,156 --> 00:48:50,861
She was my choreographer, and
since then she has become a dear friend.
464
00:48:51,161 --> 00:48:53,397
Thanks for touring with me.
465
00:48:53,797 --> 00:48:56,433
Let's hear it for her again.
466
00:49:19,690 --> 00:49:21,892
That's how awesome you are.
467
00:49:23,627 --> 00:49:26,463
Okay, we'd like to do
one more song together.
468
00:49:26,563 --> 00:49:27,497
Here we go!
469
00:49:48,919 --> 00:49:52,489
I don't know...
What do you think?
470
00:49:54,057 --> 00:49:56,159
I guess I'm not really saying
what I think
471
00:49:57,561 --> 00:49:58,395
What if I did?
472
00:50:02,499 --> 00:50:03,834
I don't wanna be rejected
473
00:50:04,601 --> 00:50:07,471
Well, I guess
I reject you all the time...
474
00:50:08,238 --> 00:50:09,773
So what am I saying?
475
00:50:12,976 --> 00:50:17,314
What if we... pretend that
one of us will die tomorrow?
476
00:50:19,616 --> 00:50:21,118
Or that we're strangers
477
00:50:24,321 --> 00:50:25,889
Would that change things?
478
00:50:27,557 --> 00:50:33,430
The back that is turned to me
after "good night"
479
00:50:34,398 --> 00:50:39,536
Reminds me of animals at the zoo
480
00:50:42,005 --> 00:50:47,711
How many years has it been
481
00:50:47,811 --> 00:50:50,313
Since we moved in together?
482
00:50:51,181 --> 00:50:53,617
An issue that goes untouched
483
00:50:54,551 --> 00:50:57,521
Alas, my techniques
in satisfying myself
484
00:50:57,788 --> 00:51:00,824
improve day by day
485
00:51:01,258 --> 00:51:03,960
"The fool that dances and
the fool that watches"
486
00:51:04,594 --> 00:51:06,863
Might as well be
the dancing fool sometimes
487
00:51:07,864 --> 00:51:10,700
Having too much of it is problematic
488
00:51:11,168 --> 00:51:13,937
But so is not having any
489
00:51:14,504 --> 00:51:16,506
One needs what one needs
490
00:51:17,874 --> 00:51:20,077
Just enough of it
to make it through the day
491
00:51:20,177 --> 00:51:22,946
Pride Pride
492
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,316
Pride Pride
493
00:51:26,650 --> 00:51:29,953
Pride Pride
494
00:51:32,889 --> 00:51:36,560
But I’m too proud
Too proud
495
00:51:36,626 --> 00:51:39,863
Too proud Too proud
496
00:51:39,930 --> 00:51:43,467
Too proud Too proud
497
00:52:14,197 --> 00:52:19,569
A stranger's gaze excites me
498
00:52:19,936 --> 00:52:22,772
More than that of the one closest to me
499
00:52:23,240 --> 00:52:25,942
I just want to be touched
500
00:52:26,743 --> 00:52:29,179
I can tell my friends
501
00:52:30,013 --> 00:52:32,182
But I can't tell you
502
00:52:32,482 --> 00:52:34,818
The priority has become
avoiding arguments
503
00:52:34,918 --> 00:52:37,754
Rationality and force of habit,
all mixed up, uh, oh dear
504
00:52:39,923 --> 00:52:41,925
A mother that complains
about her husband to her child
505
00:52:43,260 --> 00:52:45,562
From the viewpoint of the child:
506
00:52:46,530 --> 00:52:49,699
It's more comfortable
being around strangers
507
00:52:49,799 --> 00:52:52,002
than being with family
508
00:52:53,136 --> 00:52:55,472
"A man and a woman are at their best
at the moment they meet,"
509
00:52:55,572 --> 00:52:58,208
Beat Takeshi said in an interview
I read on the internet
510
00:52:59,276 --> 00:53:02,479
We changed each other
511
00:53:02,579 --> 00:53:06,349
Our once opened hearts
close shut And we cut
512
00:53:06,650 --> 00:53:07,584
Cut
513
00:53:09,085 --> 00:53:12,255
And sleep next to someone else
just to see what it would feel like
514
00:53:12,355 --> 00:53:14,724
I loved you
We both tried and gave it our all
515
00:53:14,824 --> 00:53:16,059
But in the end it's pride
516
00:53:16,159 --> 00:53:18,261
We can't go back to beings friends
517
00:54:21,825 --> 00:54:25,862
When I'm talking with you,
518
00:54:27,264 --> 00:54:33,303
I think I appear calm or even low energy,
519
00:54:33,670 --> 00:54:33,870
but to me, that's the usual me.
520
00:54:33,870 --> 00:54:36,006
but to me, that's the usual me.

"Laughter in the Dark" is
536
00:54:54,658 --> 00:55:00,130
the name of a famous novel
by (Vladimir) Nabokov.
537
00:55:00,397 --> 00:55:02,699
It's not related content wise.
538
00:55:02,966 --> 00:55:04,768
Simply put,
539
00:55:04,868 --> 00:55:11,041
themes of "hope"
and at the same time "despair"
540
00:55:12,642 --> 00:55:16,313
were coming to my mind.
541
00:55:17,047 --> 00:55:21,885
I love watching standup comedians;
542
00:55:22,285 --> 00:55:28,591
I came across the show of
this American comedian named Tig Notaro
543
00:55:28,858 --> 00:55:33,763
and it was really good.
544
00:55:34,164 --> 00:55:36,132
I watched her other shows too,
545
00:55:36,232 --> 00:55:41,237
and it turns out that she'd been
diagnosed with breast cancer
546
00:55:41,338 --> 00:55:43,106
and her mother had passed away...
547
00:55:43,206 --> 00:55:46,543
Some of the most terrible things in life,
548
00:55:46,609 --> 00:55:51,881
illness and bereavement,
had happened to her all at once.
549
00:55:52,248 --> 00:55:58,655
Even in despair,
she was still booked for shows
550
00:55:58,755 --> 00:56:03,193
and she had to do them
as a standup comedian.
551
00:56:03,293 --> 00:56:06,029
But how could she
under such circumstances?
552
00:56:06,129 --> 00:56:10,133
She doesn't even know
if she's going to survive.
553
00:56:10,300 --> 00:56:13,269
How can she do comedy? No way.
554
00:56:13,370 --> 00:56:16,940
So she asked someone for advice.
555
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:22,645
The reply was,
"Then you should cash in on it."
556
00:56:22,846 --> 00:56:26,282
So she went up on stage,
and started off with:
557
00:56:27,050 --> 00:56:30,620
"Hi, good evening, welcome everyone.
558
00:56:30,720 --> 00:56:34,591
I have cancer.
I was diagnosed with cancer. Hahaha".
559
00:56:34,657 --> 00:56:36,192
So initially, the audience were...
560
00:56:36,292 --> 00:56:37,394
Surprised, I guess.
561
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,630
The audience, at first, were like,
"Hahahaha... What? What? What? Really?"
562
00:56:40,730 --> 00:56:42,999
And the atmosphere changed.
563
00:56:44,067 --> 00:56:47,303
But her talk is all real,
564
00:56:47,404 --> 00:56:50,373
so you can actually laugh at it
when you're listnening.
565
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:55,311
You know, after all,
that's what humor is all about.
566
00:56:55,412 --> 00:56:58,148
The comedy was so symbolic.
567
00:56:58,314 --> 00:57:01,251
If you have humor,
568
00:57:02,118 --> 00:57:07,257
you can shift your emotional gear
no matter how much you are in despair.
569
00:57:07,357 --> 00:57:10,293
You can shift your perspective,
your way of thinking.
570
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:11,194
Right, right, right.
571
00:57:11,394 --> 00:57:13,530
-Despair and laughter are somehow close.
-Right.
572
00:57:13,596 --> 00:57:20,170
I understand that despair is
precisely the opposite of laughter,
573
00:57:20,437 --> 00:57:26,176
but I also have an image of laughter
existing at the end of despair,
574
00:57:26,276 --> 00:57:29,946
and you spring back to life from there.
575
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:36,820
When you write about light
or hope in your lyrics,
576
00:57:37,420 --> 00:57:42,258
you're not just saying
about light or hope;
577
00:57:42,392 --> 00:57:46,863
they are light or hope that spring back
578
00:57:47,363 --> 00:57:50,700
from despair or tough reality.
579
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:56,139
So when someone tries to express hope
with just sheer power...
580
00:57:56,239 --> 00:57:57,774
Power!
581
00:57:58,374 --> 00:58:02,779
I admire the way they can do that,
but I also think,
582
00:58:02,879 --> 00:58:07,417
"I wish I had that strength
but I don't think I have it."
583
00:58:07,717 --> 00:58:14,424
But the hope or light you depict is
something really relatable.
584
00:58:14,924 --> 00:58:19,662
So to me, the theme is
somehow comprehensible.
585
00:58:19,796 --> 00:58:21,431
"Laughter in the Dark".
586
00:58:22,232 --> 00:58:29,005
I've never used that phrase
but it kind of fits my life too.
587
00:58:29,806 --> 00:58:34,043
I can even make my stage name
"Matayoshi Laughter in the Dark",
588
00:58:34,110 --> 00:58:35,044
you know.
589
00:58:35,912 --> 00:58:38,481
Well it's your tour theme,
590
00:58:39,649 --> 00:58:41,918
but I can even take the stage name
591
00:58:41,985 --> 00:58:44,754
-"Matayoshi Laughter in the Dark."
-That's hot.
592
00:58:46,189 --> 00:58:50,326
What made you aspire
to become a comedian?
593
00:58:51,895 --> 00:58:55,431
My father is from Okinawa.
594
00:58:56,466 --> 00:59:01,337
When I was a child
I used to go back there in the summer.
595
00:59:01,437 --> 00:59:06,175
There was always a gathering
of family and neighbors at night.
596
00:59:06,409 --> 00:59:08,011
Whenever someone started
to play the sanshin,
597
00:59:06,409 --> 00:59:08,011
{\an8}sanshin:
Okinawa's traditional string instrument
598
00:59:08,011 --> 00:59:08,111
{\an8}sanshin:
Okinawa's traditional string instrument
599
00:59:08,111 --> 00:59:10,246
{\an8}sanshin:
Okinawa's traditional string instrument
600
00:59:08,111 --> 00:59:10,246
everyone would start to sing to it.
601
00:59:10,647 --> 00:59:14,150
My father was a happy drinker,
602
00:59:14,317 --> 00:59:16,319
so he always went to the front
and danced.
603
00:59:16,419 --> 00:59:19,155
Then everyone burst out laughing.
604
00:59:19,355 --> 00:59:25,094
I was a very shy boy back then,
so I was like,
605
00:59:25,428 --> 00:59:28,464
"Wow, dad's making people laugh so much.
606
00:59:28,565 --> 00:59:30,099
He's amazing."
607
00:59:30,333 --> 00:59:33,636
And this one time, someone said to me,
608
00:59:33,703 --> 00:59:36,873
"Your dad's dancing so much
to make people laugh.
609
00:59:36,973 --> 00:59:38,508
You should join him."
610
00:59:38,808 --> 00:59:41,578
I've never done such a thing
in front of people.
611
00:59:41,911 --> 00:59:43,980
So I was terrified.
612
00:59:44,180 --> 00:59:50,820
But I didn't want to spoil the good mood
that my father had created.
613
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:54,457
So for the first time,
I made a brave move.
614
00:59:54,557 --> 00:59:57,360
Then, because there was a kid
dancing awkwardly,
615
00:59:57,460 --> 00:59:59,495
I generated about 5 times more laughter
than my father did.
616
00:59:59,596 --> 01:00:00,897
Hahaha. I see.
617
01:00:01,130 --> 01:00:04,601
I suddenly got a great reaction
and it felt so good.
618
01:00:05,335 --> 01:00:07,003
So for the first time,
how can I put it...
619
01:00:07,103 --> 01:00:08,838
I had a breakthrough
620
01:00:08,938 --> 01:00:11,975
from the ordinary life
to the outer world.
621
01:00:12,075 --> 01:00:13,242
Breaking through your own shell.
622
01:00:14,010 --> 01:00:15,511
-I see.
-Right.
623
01:00:15,612 --> 01:00:19,382
Having had such a good reaction
and feeling great,
624
01:00:19,482 --> 01:00:23,119
I went to the kitchen by myself
625
01:00:23,219 --> 01:00:26,856
and was enjoying the sense
of accomplishment over barley tea.
626
01:00:26,956 --> 01:00:30,193
Then my father came up to me.
I thought he would praise me, but he said,
627
01:00:30,293 --> 01:00:32,061
"Hey, don't you get carried away."
628
01:00:32,562 --> 01:00:36,366
He was jealous, just like that.
He was a childish father.
629
01:00:36,466 --> 01:00:38,968
-Because you got a bigger reaction.
-Right.
630
01:00:39,035 --> 01:00:40,269
So he said that,
631
01:00:40,370 --> 01:00:45,141
but I still felt really good
about doing something
632
01:00:45,241 --> 01:00:47,944
and making people laugh.
633
01:00:48,511 --> 01:00:50,480
I learned long after that,
634
01:00:50,980 --> 01:00:54,050
there's a theory
that the word "warau" (to laugh)
635
01:00:54,117 --> 01:00:55,618
comes from "waru" (to crack).
636
01:00:55,685 --> 01:00:58,655
-"Waru"?
-Like "waru" as in cracking.
637
01:00:58,955 --> 01:01:00,156
Ah, I see.
638
01:01:00,223 --> 01:01:04,027
So that's said to be
the origin of "warau",
639
01:01:04,427 --> 01:01:06,929
which I can relate to.
640
01:01:07,196 --> 01:01:10,667
Usually I feel as if I were enclosed
641
01:01:10,967 --> 01:01:14,170
in a dark and thin membrane.
642
01:01:14,604 --> 01:01:18,541
But when I get to make people laugh
643
01:01:19,008 --> 01:01:22,378
on TV or at theaters for example,
644
01:01:22,545 --> 01:01:25,214
I can get out of the membrane.
645
01:01:25,581 --> 01:01:31,154
To put it in an ordinary way,
it destroys the drudgery of daily life.
646
01:01:31,254 --> 01:01:32,689
That is--
647
01:01:37,927 --> 01:01:39,529
This is... what laughter is about,
648
01:01:43,633 --> 01:01:45,435
right?
649
01:01:46,936 --> 01:01:48,037
Right, right, right.
650
01:01:48,137 --> 01:01:50,606
This kind of element of surprise...
651
01:01:50,740 --> 01:01:54,377
Like just now, I was able to break out
of the ordinary instantaneously.
652
01:01:54,444 --> 01:01:54,944
Right.
653
01:01:55,044 --> 01:01:58,548
It's exactly what I was talking about.
654
01:01:58,981 --> 01:02:00,616
Excuse me, can I go to the restroom?
655
01:02:00,750 --> 01:02:03,252
-Oh, sure. Go ahead.
-Excuse me for a moment.
656
01:02:04,053 --> 01:02:06,622
We'll take a little break.
Go ahead.
657
01:02:07,090 --> 01:02:09,392
Stop the camera. Please escort him.
658
01:02:15,531 --> 01:02:18,501
He's not back yet?
659
01:02:22,705 --> 01:02:28,678
I've sent someone to check on him,
but it seems like his mood is...
660
01:02:28,978 --> 01:02:31,647
Oh, what happened?
661
01:02:33,583 --> 01:02:35,585
It destroys the drudgery of daily life.
662
01:02:35,685 --> 01:02:37,153
That is--
663
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:39,055
That is--
664
01:02:39,489 --> 01:02:41,023
That is--
665
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:46,429
-Let's roll the camera. Okay.
-Okay. It's rolling.
666
01:02:51,300 --> 01:02:54,403
What happened?
667
01:02:56,172 --> 01:02:58,007
That was way too cruel.
668
01:03:01,177 --> 01:03:02,311
I'm so sorry.
669
01:03:02,678 --> 01:03:05,782
I thought that was what you meant.
670
01:03:06,115 --> 01:03:07,483
Well, it was.
671
01:03:07,717 --> 01:03:10,386
I did say "laughter destroys",
672
01:03:11,154 --> 01:03:13,790
and you really destroyed
the flow and the ordinary.
673
01:03:14,423 --> 01:03:16,459
Then why didn't you laugh?
674
01:03:16,559 --> 01:03:18,694
It hurts
when someone hits you with a bottle.
675
01:03:18,795 --> 01:03:20,196
Can you laugh?
676
01:03:20,363 --> 01:03:23,332
I was talking damn seriously
and then got hit with a bottle.
677
01:03:23,432 --> 01:03:25,201
So embarrassing.
678
01:03:29,205 --> 01:03:30,740
-What's funny about it?
-Sorry.
679
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:35,077
We were just talking,
I don't know how we ended up here.
680
01:03:37,046 --> 01:03:38,514
Haha. That's true.
681
01:03:39,182 --> 01:03:41,417
What am I doing?
682
01:03:42,351 --> 01:03:44,687
I'm locking myself in here like a child.
683
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:47,790
No, not at all. I was really cruel.
684
01:03:48,691 --> 01:03:50,459
I'm so sorry.
685
01:03:51,093 --> 01:03:52,595
I mean, seriously.
686
01:03:53,763 --> 01:03:59,135
But perhaps this is one form
of humor in despair.
687
01:04:00,703 --> 01:04:04,807
Well, this is not the right place to talk,
so let's go back...
688
01:04:16,085 --> 01:04:18,354
This is what you mean, right?
689
01:04:21,324 --> 01:04:24,794
No? Um, what's wrong?
690
01:04:29,131 --> 01:04:29,866
It's not right.
691
01:04:30,867 --> 01:04:31,868
No?
692
01:04:32,802 --> 01:04:34,670
No way.
693
01:04:36,806 --> 01:04:41,510
Have you ever seen a conversation
where one hits another with a bottle?
694
01:04:42,879 --> 01:04:45,248
There are things that you should
and shouldn't do.
695
01:04:46,983 --> 01:04:50,286
I mean, when you came to the restroom
and said sorry,
696
01:04:50,386 --> 01:04:52,455
you already had a bottle
in your hand, right?
697
01:04:53,322 --> 01:04:57,159
You were thinking of hitting me again
if you had the chance.
698
01:04:58,427 --> 01:05:01,764
Wait a minute, you don't still have
something in your hand, do you?
699
01:05:01,898 --> 01:05:04,400
No, no, I don't have anything.
700
01:05:06,869 --> 01:05:08,304
Now,
701
01:05:09,872 --> 01:05:12,308
-calm down and listen to me.
-Okay.
702
01:05:12,808 --> 01:05:16,412
Laughter is, indeed...
703
01:05:18,514 --> 01:05:20,383
...like this, right?
704
01:05:23,386 --> 01:05:24,887
You didn't have a bottle.
705
01:05:27,023 --> 01:05:28,324
What kind of system is this?
706
01:05:28,891 --> 01:05:29,825
System?
707
01:05:30,993 --> 01:05:33,829
-System... that's not it! AARRRGGH!
-Oh.
708
01:05:35,264 --> 01:05:36,165
Ah!
709
01:05:37,667 --> 01:05:39,201
What kind of system is this?
710
01:05:41,203 --> 01:05:42,805
-AARRRGGH!
-Ah!
711
01:05:43,172 --> 01:05:45,308
I didn't think you were
such a scary person.
712
01:05:45,541 --> 01:05:46,809
Hey!
713
01:05:48,644 --> 01:05:51,314
I'm the one who got hit
with a bottle three times!
714
01:05:51,781 --> 01:05:52,848
Hey!
715
01:06:00,489 --> 01:06:01,524
What's going on?
716
01:06:09,465 --> 01:06:11,400
I can't sort this out.
717
01:06:15,271 --> 01:06:16,305
Was she waiting for me?
718
01:06:34,924 --> 01:06:36,525
I've made her angry.
719
01:06:45,901 --> 01:06:47,903
So this is what despair is.
720
01:07:06,722 --> 01:07:10,459
At any rate, she hit me so many times.
721
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:17,900
Matayoshi-san!
722
01:07:26,742 --> 01:07:29,478
Utada-san, I'm so sorry.
723
01:07:30,246 --> 01:07:32,948
Can you do the talk
with me again tomorrow?
724
01:07:39,455 --> 01:07:40,856
Will you forgive me?
725
01:07:42,691 --> 01:07:44,026
I'm so sorry.
726
01:07:46,062 --> 01:07:47,063
Thank you.
727
01:07:53,903 --> 01:07:57,440
So "humor in despair".
728
01:07:57,773 --> 01:07:58,541
Right.
729
01:07:58,607 --> 01:08:02,011
By the way,
730
01:08:03,045 --> 01:08:06,916
are the lyrics to "First Love"
based on your true life story?
731
01:08:09,018 --> 01:08:13,456
I always wanted to ask you that.
732
01:08:13,923 --> 01:08:15,691
Naturally, I'm curious.
733
01:08:15,791 --> 01:08:16,725
Ah.
734
01:08:16,826 --> 01:08:20,763
I'll be very in-your-face today.
735
01:08:21,263 --> 01:08:24,667
I was 16 when "First Love" came out.
736
01:08:24,767 --> 01:08:28,904
Back then, I had a boyfriend
until shortly before the release,
737
01:08:29,004 --> 01:08:31,740
and my friends were saying
738
01:08:31,841 --> 01:08:36,846
"Hey, that song is about him, right?"
which made me feel a bit unpleasant.
739
01:08:36,946 --> 01:08:40,883
"No, it's not like that,
lyrics are clearly poetry.
740
01:08:40,983 --> 01:08:43,018
So they're not from my diary;
741
01:08:43,118 --> 01:08:45,721
not everything is
from my personal experience."
742
01:08:45,955 --> 01:08:50,759
But neither my friends nor the world
seem to understand that easily. So...
743
01:08:50,826 --> 01:08:56,966
Hahaha, hahaha.
744
01:08:58,734 --> 01:09:00,302
Hahaha.
745
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:07,943
Sorry, I was quite demanding.
746
01:09:08,043 --> 01:09:12,548
No no no, you had to work
with a total amateur in acting.
747
01:09:13,382 --> 01:09:17,386
But you were taking
a full swing with the bottle.
748
01:09:18,954 --> 01:09:20,890
Because it felt really good.
749
01:09:21,357 --> 01:09:26,462
(Music: "Ozora de Dakishimete")
750
01:09:42,478 --> 01:09:46,682
Let's do something together again
when I go on tour next time.
751
01:09:46,815 --> 01:09:48,817
I'll come over any time to be hit.
752
01:09:49,818 --> 01:09:52,421
Let's do a sequel.
753
01:09:56,725 --> 01:09:58,093
That's an excessive use of burst mode.
754
01:10:28,891 --> 01:10:35,898
I don't care much about destiny
755
01:10:39,235 --> 01:10:42,538
But at this point,
756
01:10:43,706 --> 01:10:50,045
I cannot but acknowledge its existence
757
01:10:51,413 --> 01:10:58,420
Are you really sure
you're happy with me?
758
01:10:58,921 --> 01:11:01,790
Really?
759
01:11:02,625 --> 01:11:09,632
I wish you wouldn't raise
my hopes up too much
760
01:11:12,768 --> 01:11:19,642
Today is the perfect day
761
01:11:19,975 --> 01:11:23,946
For a truthful, eternal vow
762
01:11:24,046 --> 01:11:30,819
We don't need
beautiful flowers or witnesses
763
01:11:31,253 --> 01:11:35,958
Let's wear rings of the same color
764
01:11:36,225 --> 01:11:43,232
It's so damn annoying
765
01:11:47,469 --> 01:11:52,541
That I want to fall asleep
766
01:11:52,641 --> 01:11:58,080
clinging to you, every day
767
01:11:58,914 --> 01:12:02,851
I will not make promises anymore
768
01:12:03,552 --> 01:12:08,691
Those things are for pleasing somebody
769
01:12:09,024 --> 01:12:15,597
What I am about to say
is not a second hand line
770
01:12:16,332 --> 01:12:20,202
Nor a promise; It's a vow
771
01:12:20,302 --> 01:12:26,809
I can't go back to being
the liar I used to be
772
01:12:27,476 --> 01:12:32,381
Our rings shall be
the color of the sunrise
773
01:12:32,614 --> 01:12:38,053
Lay your heartbeat on top of mine
And let's dance
774
01:12:38,287 --> 01:12:43,726
Let's celebrate the fact
that we live in this moment
775
01:12:44,159 --> 01:12:47,229
The tears
that I can't hold back sometimes
776
01:12:47,329 --> 01:12:49,765
There's no deep meaning to them
777
01:12:49,965 --> 01:12:52,668
It's just that I recall
the past unexpectedly
778
01:12:52,835 --> 01:12:55,404
(Ah, I want to cry)
779
01:12:55,504 --> 01:12:58,307
A light streams in from the opened door
780
01:12:58,407 --> 01:13:01,009
I want to be with you,
for a very long time
781
01:13:01,110 --> 01:13:04,580
Other options have long been gone
782
01:13:05,247 --> 01:13:12,254
Today is the perfect day
783
01:13:12,588 --> 01:13:16,458
For an unprecedented vow, our vow
784
01:13:16,558 --> 01:13:23,232
We don't need
beautiful flowers or witnesses
785
01:13:23,699 --> 01:13:27,870
Let's wear rings of the same color
786
01:13:27,970 --> 01:13:33,475
Kiss me once, kiss me twice
787
01:13:33,575 --> 01:13:39,081
Once is not enough
788
01:13:39,181 --> 01:13:44,753
Kiss me once, kiss me twice
789
01:13:44,853 --> 01:13:49,792
Please give me you
790
01:13:50,426 --> 01:13:55,998
Kiss me once, kiss me twice
791
01:13:56,098 --> 01:13:58,801
Kiss me three times
792
01:13:58,901 --> 01:14:01,537
Please
793
01:14:01,670 --> 01:14:07,242
Kiss me once, kiss me twice
794
01:14:07,342 --> 01:14:12,481
Give me you
795
01:14:13,916 --> 01:14:19,488
Let's listen to the sound
of the sunrise, side by side
796
01:14:19,588 --> 01:14:25,794
Let's vow to live our lives together
797
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:58,927
I wake up in the middle of a dream
798
01:14:59,862 --> 01:15:05,901
I shut my eyes, but cannot return
799
01:15:06,368 --> 01:15:12,541
The world that was so vivid
800
01:15:12,975 --> 01:15:18,580
is already but a phantom
801
01:15:21,083 --> 01:15:27,956
You held me, balmy with sweat,
802
01:15:31,660 --> 01:15:34,229
close to you
803
01:15:34,496 --> 01:15:39,234
And carved into me
804
01:15:39,434 --> 01:15:43,605
so many firsts
805
01:15:43,705 --> 01:15:50,712
When I reach my hand to a swaying bud,
806
01:15:51,947 --> 01:15:57,986
And my thoughts race to you
807
01:15:58,420 --> 01:16:04,393
How long will it be,
until it no longer makes me sad?
808
01:16:04,927 --> 01:16:10,599
Please tell me
809
01:16:12,935 --> 01:16:19,741
Today, I am not alone,
810
01:16:23,478 --> 01:16:27,950
and I am somewhat happy
811
01:16:28,050 --> 01:16:32,788
I tell myself
812
01:16:32,888 --> 01:16:38,093
this is how it should be, but...
813
01:16:38,860 --> 01:16:45,867
The days I lost my breath
fighting un-winnable battles,
814
01:16:47,035 --> 01:16:53,308
and burned for you
815
01:16:53,408 --> 01:16:59,615
If I forget them,
I will no longer be me
816
01:17:00,015 --> 01:17:06,788
Tell me, the right way to do Goodbye
817
01:17:07,356 --> 01:17:12,127
When I reach my hand to someone,
818
01:17:12,995 --> 01:17:18,300
And my thoughts race to you
819
01:17:19,067 --> 01:17:25,574
Things I want to ask you now, so many,
820
01:17:26,041 --> 01:17:33,048
Overflow and overflow and
821
01:17:34,049 --> 01:17:40,322
Trees come into bud,
days and months go round
822
01:17:40,589 --> 01:17:46,428
I wish I could tell you
my unchanging feelings
823
01:17:46,995 --> 01:17:53,335
There is the freedom to break free
824
01:17:53,602 --> 01:17:59,608
The shadow of a person standing
ever still,sending-off another
825
01:17:59,708 --> 01:18:06,281
Memories grab me without warning,
826
01:18:06,548 --> 01:18:12,654
violently, and won't let me go
827
01:18:12,954 --> 01:18:19,261
I love you, deeper still
828
01:18:19,528 --> 01:18:26,368
A midsummer shower that never ends
829
01:18:48,590 --> 01:18:55,597
I wake up in the middle of a dream
830
01:18:56,631 --> 01:19:02,604
I shut my eyes but cannot return
831
01:19:03,238 --> 01:19:08,844
To the future, in which
you existed until a moment ago,
832
01:19:09,711 --> 01:19:16,718
I shall pay a visit, and so to tomorrow
833
01:19:17,185 --> 01:19:20,388
A never ending, never ending rain
834
01:19:20,489 --> 01:19:23,658
And a never quenched,
never quenched thirst
835
01:19:23,759 --> 01:19:26,895
A never ending, never ending rain
836
01:19:26,995 --> 01:19:29,598
And a never quenched,
never quenched thirst
837
01:19:29,698 --> 01:19:33,368
A never ending, never ending rain
838
01:19:33,468 --> 01:19:36,571
And a never quenched,
never quenched thirst
839
01:19:36,671 --> 01:19:39,841
A never ending, never ending rain
840
01:19:39,941 --> 01:19:43,111
And a never quenched, never quenched...
841
01:19:43,211 --> 01:19:46,348
A never ending, never ending rain
842
01:19:46,448 --> 01:19:49,584
And a never quenched,
never quenched thirst
843
01:19:49,684 --> 01:19:52,821
A never ending, never ending rain
844
01:19:52,921 --> 01:19:56,024
And a never quenched, never quenched...
845
01:19:56,124 --> 01:19:59,294
A never ending, never ending rain
846
01:19:59,394 --> 01:20:02,564
And a never quenched,
never quenched thirst
847
01:20:02,664 --> 01:20:05,767
A never ending, never ending rain
848
01:20:05,867 --> 01:20:08,970
And a never quenched, never quenched...
849
01:20:09,070 --> 01:20:12,340
A never ending, never ending rain
850
01:20:12,440 --> 01:20:15,577
And a never quenched,
never quenched thirst
851
01:20:15,677 --> 01:20:18,780
A never ending, never ending rain
852
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:21,950
And a never quenched, never quenched...
853
01:20:22,050 --> 01:20:25,320
A never ending, never ending rain
854
01:20:25,420 --> 01:20:28,490
And a never quenched,
never quenched thirst
855
01:20:28,590 --> 01:20:31,726
A never ending, never ending rain
856
01:20:31,827 --> 01:20:35,197
And a never quenched, never quenched...
857
01:20:54,015 --> 01:20:59,855
You never wear make-up,
858
01:20:59,955 --> 01:21:05,093
but that morning you did
859
01:21:05,794 --> 01:21:11,900
Somewhere between
a beginning and an end
860
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:18,006
I made a promise I would never forget
861
01:21:20,408 --> 01:21:25,213
I shall give you a bouquet of flowers
862
01:21:25,313 --> 01:21:31,052
My Beloved, my Beloved
863
01:21:32,153 --> 01:21:37,325
No words I could place together
864
01:21:37,926 --> 01:21:42,631
Will ever become the truth
865
01:21:43,098 --> 01:21:45,734
So today, I shall give you
866
01:21:45,834 --> 01:21:52,407
A tear-colored bouquet
867
01:22:02,851 --> 01:22:08,590
If life was without
its private struggles
868
01:22:08,690 --> 01:22:14,396
and everyday loneliness
869
01:22:14,496 --> 01:22:18,500
And was only filled with fun
870
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:23,738
I wouldn't have had to learn
871
01:22:23,838 --> 01:22:26,741
What love is
872
01:22:29,144 --> 01:22:34,115
I shall give you a bouquet of flowers
873
01:22:34,215 --> 01:22:39,921
Things I'd like to say,
things I'd like to say,
874
01:22:40,822 --> 01:22:46,561
For sure there will be a mountain-load
875
01:22:46,661 --> 01:22:51,800
But they will remain
between just God and I
876
01:22:51,900 --> 01:22:54,436
Today I shall give you
877
01:22:54,536 --> 01:23:01,543
A tear-colored bouquet
878
01:23:11,586 --> 01:23:17,592
Thank you,
for all the dazzling memories
879
01:23:17,692 --> 01:23:24,699
Too many to hold in my arms
880
01:23:27,135 --> 01:23:31,706
Even when the whole world was raining
881
01:23:32,140 --> 01:23:37,912
Your laughter was my sunshine
882
01:23:38,947 --> 01:23:44,586
Even if it doesn't get through
to you now
883
01:23:44,686 --> 01:23:49,491
It is still the truth
884
01:23:49,724 --> 01:23:55,163
Hold me, just once,
885
01:23:55,764 --> 01:23:58,800
before goodbye
886
01:23:59,434 --> 01:24:04,072
I shall give you a bouquet of flowers
887
01:24:04,339 --> 01:24:09,778
My Beloved, my Beloved
888
01:24:11,146 --> 01:24:16,551
No words I could place together
889
01:24:16,985 --> 01:24:22,023
Will ever be enough to praise you
890
01:24:22,123 --> 01:24:24,359
So today, I will give you
891
01:24:24,826 --> 01:24:31,833
A tear-colored bouquet
892
01:26:09,864 --> 01:26:15,136
Avoiding the high street
893
01:26:15,236 --> 01:26:19,841
full of people homebound sure-footedly
894
01:26:20,608 --> 01:26:25,780
I cover my ears with broken earphones
895
01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:30,652
And almost mumbled your name
896
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:38,927
Nobody could ever replace you
897
01:26:42,497 --> 01:26:46,768
This, at least, will never change
898
01:26:47,235 --> 01:26:51,306
Even if you have betrayed me
899
01:26:51,639 --> 01:26:56,511
I love you, I love you
900
01:26:56,611 --> 01:27:02,116
You are the only one
901
01:27:02,217 --> 01:27:09,224
Who incessantly torments
902
01:27:09,591 --> 01:27:13,761
My cold, fickle heart
903
01:27:15,697 --> 01:27:17,765
Others come and go
904
01:27:18,299 --> 01:27:23,438
But you're
in my soul forevermore
905
01:27:23,538 --> 01:27:28,843
Forever and forever
906
01:27:28,943 --> 01:27:32,680
And forever, it's so
907
01:27:45,927 --> 01:27:51,132
Friends change, clothes go out of style
908
01:27:51,232 --> 01:27:55,937
What defines me
909
01:27:56,537 --> 01:27:59,173
is not a set of inculcated values
910
01:27:59,274 --> 01:28:03,144
or acquired taste
911
01:28:03,244 --> 01:28:06,814
That's what you taught me
912
01:28:07,849 --> 01:28:11,486
The end of me
913
01:28:12,253 --> 01:28:16,991
doesn't scare me at all
914
01:28:18,526 --> 01:28:22,230
Just maybe,
915
01:28:23,197 --> 01:28:27,602
even if I am born again,
I might not forget that:
916
01:28:27,869 --> 01:28:32,240
I love you, I love you
917
01:28:32,607 --> 01:28:37,912
You are the only one
918
01:28:38,313 --> 01:28:45,320
Whose absence makes me cry
919
01:28:45,586 --> 01:28:49,791
When I know solitude suits me best
920
01:28:51,626 --> 01:28:54,228
Others come and go
921
01:28:54,329 --> 01:28:59,567
But you're
in my soul forevermore
922
01:28:59,667 --> 01:29:04,639
Forever, and forever
923
01:29:04,939 --> 01:29:08,643
And forever, it's so
924
01:29:10,244 --> 01:29:15,049
After the infatuation is over,
925
01:29:15,583 --> 01:29:20,688
Forever, and forever
926
01:29:20,788 --> 01:29:25,393
Without waiting for my final moment,
927
01:29:25,493 --> 01:29:26,928
This, I can say for sure
928
01:29:28,930 --> 01:29:31,532
Forevermore
929
01:29:31,632 --> 01:29:36,437
I love you, I love you
930
01:29:36,537 --> 01:29:42,076
Anything else is a digression
931
01:29:42,176 --> 01:29:49,183
I love you, I love you
932
01:29:49,550 --> 01:29:54,088
You are the only one
933
01:29:55,623 --> 01:29:58,192
Others come and go
934
01:29:58,292 --> 01:30:03,598
But you're
in my soul forevermore
935
01:30:03,698 --> 01:30:08,870
Forever, and forever
936
01:30:08,970 --> 01:30:13,040
And forever, it's so
937
01:30:55,149 --> 01:30:56,851
Thank you!
938
01:31:15,803 --> 01:31:19,440
So going back to the 20th anniversary.
939
01:31:24,979 --> 01:31:28,216
It's amazing. A full 20 years.
940
01:31:28,349 --> 01:31:31,285
Yesterday I said to the audience,
941
01:31:34,255 --> 01:31:36,224
"It's the 20th anniversary.
942
01:31:36,324 --> 01:31:41,395
So it's fully 19 years
and I'm going into my 20th year I guess."
943
01:31:41,729 --> 01:31:44,298
But it was a full 20 years. It's amazing.
944
01:31:44,832 --> 01:31:45,500
Hmm.
945
01:31:54,942 --> 01:31:56,777
It's strange. 20 years.
946
01:31:57,778 --> 01:32:01,816
It depends, but in many countries,
947
01:32:01,916 --> 01:32:05,152
adulthood is from around 20.
948
01:32:05,253 --> 01:32:07,021
Japan is so, too.
949
01:32:08,356 --> 01:32:14,762
Last night I turned the TV on
at an odd hour
950
01:32:15,897 --> 01:32:19,967
and found out that every 20 years,
951
01:32:20,301 --> 01:32:26,941
the Ise Grand Shrine moves
the whole shrine.
952
01:32:27,008 --> 01:32:32,747
They build a new one next to the old site
953
01:32:32,813 --> 01:32:36,551
and the deity moves in.
954
01:32:36,951 --> 01:32:39,921
It was on air at an odd hour
so I don't think any of you saw it,
955
01:32:40,021 --> 01:32:42,490
but I thought, "Oh, 20 years."
956
01:32:44,225 --> 01:32:48,462
These days I've adjusted my life cycle
957
01:32:49,430 --> 01:32:51,332
to bring my energy peak to showtime.
958
01:32:51,465 --> 01:32:54,835
So I've been going to bed around 5am.
959
01:32:54,936 --> 01:32:57,872
So it was really late hours I think.
960
01:32:58,105 --> 01:33:00,074
Oh, why am I telling you this?
961
01:33:00,174 --> 01:33:06,447
Yes, 20 years -
20 years is a strange milestone.
962
01:33:06,547 --> 01:33:09,383
I really feel that.
963
01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:16,857
And you know, having come this far,
964
01:33:18,125 --> 01:33:20,394
I think, I should't feel relieved
965
01:33:20,494 --> 01:33:23,965
but at least I can be amazed with that.
966
01:33:34,442 --> 01:33:38,479
I've been on a long hiatus along the way,
967
01:33:40,147 --> 01:33:44,986
but it's hard to believe.
968
01:33:45,486 --> 01:33:50,224
Those who supported me from before
have shown continuous support
969
01:33:50,958 --> 01:33:53,594
and maybe we've become
970
01:33:55,396 --> 01:33:57,498
even closer.
971
01:33:57,632 --> 01:34:01,602
I feel the huge support.
972
01:34:02,436 --> 01:34:03,371
How shall I put it...
973
01:34:03,604 --> 01:34:09,110
I want to say "Thank you"
to those who waited for me.
974
01:34:10,311 --> 01:34:15,549
And I'm also very happy
that there are people
975
01:34:15,983 --> 01:34:19,153
who are new to my music
and have just started listening.
976
01:34:19,954 --> 01:34:23,090
Also I'm very grateful to the staff
977
01:34:23,190 --> 01:34:27,028
who supported me during my hiatus,
and saying okay to the hiatus.
978
01:34:27,428 --> 01:34:29,563
So many things happened in the meantime
979
01:34:30,164 --> 01:34:33,501
and there were times that I thought
I may not be able to perform live again.
980
01:34:33,601 --> 01:34:37,405
But here I am today,
on my 20th anniversary,
981
01:34:37,505 --> 01:34:39,607
spending the day like this.
982
01:34:40,608 --> 01:34:44,912
I never thought I'd find myself
saying this, but I'm so happy now.
983
01:34:45,012 --> 01:34:46,113
Thank you.
984
01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:22,650
So now I'm moving on to the next song.
985
01:35:23,684 --> 01:35:24,618
Here we go!
986
01:35:51,545 --> 01:35:56,517
Our last kiss
987
01:35:56,617 --> 01:36:01,789
was the flavor of cigarettes
988
01:36:01,889 --> 01:36:08,696
A bitter taste
989
01:36:12,933 --> 01:36:17,505
Around this time tomorrow,
990
01:36:18,205 --> 01:36:23,511
I wonder where you will be
991
01:36:23,611 --> 01:36:30,618
And who you will be thinking of
992
01:36:34,855 --> 01:36:38,325
You are always gonna be my love
993
01:36:38,592 --> 01:36:44,832
If one day,
I fall in love with someone again
994
01:36:45,499 --> 01:36:48,169
I'll remember
995
01:36:48,269 --> 01:36:50,471
that you taught me how
996
01:36:50,871 --> 01:36:54,575
You are always gonna be the one
997
01:36:54,675 --> 01:37:01,482
Now, it is still a sad love song
998
01:37:01,582 --> 01:37:08,389
Until I can sing a new one
999
01:37:22,203 --> 01:37:28,108
Time, standing still,
1000
01:37:28,209 --> 01:37:32,446
is about to start moving
1001
01:37:33,247 --> 01:37:39,620
So many things I don't want to forget
1002
01:37:43,557 --> 01:37:48,529
Around this time tomorrow,
1003
01:37:48,963 --> 01:37:53,834
I know I will be crying
1004
01:37:53,934 --> 01:38:00,941
I will be thinking of you
1005
01:38:05,512 --> 01:38:09,149
You will always be inside my heart
1006
01:38:09,250 --> 01:38:15,723
There will always a place just for you
1007
01:38:16,223 --> 01:38:21,128
I hope that I have a place
in your heart too
1008
01:38:21,228 --> 01:38:25,099
Now and forever you are still the one
1009
01:38:25,199 --> 01:38:31,772
Now, it is still a sad love song
1010
01:38:32,239 --> 01:38:38,746
Until I can sing a new one
1011
01:38:42,917 --> 01:38:46,520
You are always gonna be my love
1012
01:38:46,620 --> 01:38:52,893
If one day,
I fall in love with someone again
1013
01:38:53,627 --> 01:38:55,729
I'll remember
1014
01:38:55,829 --> 01:38:58,799
that you taught me how
1015
01:38:58,899 --> 01:39:03,570
You are always gonna be the one
1016
01:39:04,238 --> 01:39:09,243
Now, it is still a sad love song
1017
01:39:11,512 --> 01:39:14,214
Until I can sing a new one
1018
01:39:59,626 --> 01:40:04,698
My heart beating too loud,
1019
01:40:04,798 --> 01:40:09,870
my legs frozen, so unlike me,
1020
01:40:09,970 --> 01:40:15,075
The tear running quietly down my cheek;
1021
01:40:15,175 --> 01:40:18,912
They tell me
1022
01:40:19,013 --> 01:40:23,117
That this is my first love
1023
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:27,755
I need you, I need you
1024
01:40:28,589 --> 01:40:32,826
I need you, I need you
1025
01:40:33,761 --> 01:40:38,298
I need you, I need you
1026
01:40:38,932 --> 01:40:42,903
I need you, I need you
1027
01:40:44,138 --> 01:40:48,809
I thought it was a given
1028
01:40:49,343 --> 01:40:56,350
That human beings
1029
01:40:57,184 --> 01:41:04,191
naturally fall in love, but
1030
01:41:04,725 --> 01:41:10,798
If I had never met you
1031
01:41:10,898 --> 01:41:17,905
I can't fathom
that anyone would have ever
1032
01:41:18,505 --> 01:41:22,910
Made me feel like this
1033
01:41:23,010 --> 01:41:28,048
My heart beating too loud,
1034
01:41:28,148 --> 01:41:33,353
my legs running against my will,
1035
01:41:33,454 --> 01:41:38,525
The tear surely running down my cheek;
1036
01:41:38,625 --> 01:41:42,396
They tell me
1037
01:41:42,496 --> 01:41:46,266
That this is my first love
1038
01:41:46,800 --> 01:41:51,338
I need you, I need you
1039
01:41:52,005 --> 01:41:56,176
I need you, I need you
1040
01:41:56,310 --> 01:42:06,320
I need you, I need you
(Can I hold you like you are mine?)
1041
01:42:07,654 --> 01:42:12,359
All this time,
1042
01:42:12,926 --> 01:42:17,931
I was blaming things
1043
01:42:18,031 --> 01:42:25,038
that can't be helped On others
1044
01:42:25,939 --> 01:42:27,975
And feigning acceptance
1045
01:42:28,208 --> 01:42:34,314
If I had never met you
1046
01:42:34,414 --> 01:42:41,421
I might have gone on living
1047
01:42:42,089 --> 01:42:46,193
Without even knowing
why I was given life
1048
01:42:46,293 --> 01:42:51,565
This fragile me
that one word can break,
1049
01:42:51,665 --> 01:42:56,503
I want to dedicate to you
1050
01:42:56,870 --> 01:43:01,542
A season that will never return
1051
01:43:02,142 --> 01:43:06,914
was announcing its end
1052
01:43:07,347 --> 01:43:09,816
Awkwardly
1053
01:43:10,083 --> 01:43:12,386
I can see the thing that I want
1054
01:43:12,653 --> 01:43:14,955
Right there within reach
1055
01:43:15,055 --> 01:43:20,561
How can I possibly not chase it?
1056
01:43:20,661 --> 01:43:24,665
Whether it is
the right thing to do or not
1057
01:43:24,765 --> 01:43:28,235
Nobody really knows
1058
01:43:39,279 --> 01:43:44,451
A young branch trembling in the wind
1059
01:43:44,551 --> 01:43:49,423
Slowly grows towards the sun
1060
01:43:49,756 --> 01:43:54,695
Little things brought us joy
1061
01:43:54,928 --> 01:44:00,100
Little things caused us pain
1062
01:44:00,234 --> 01:44:04,838
The maddening beating in my chest,
1063
01:44:05,372 --> 01:44:10,577
the rain that gently falls
on my shoulders,
1064
01:44:10,677 --> 01:44:15,782
The tears I can't hold back;
1065
01:44:15,882 --> 01:44:19,586
They tell me
1066
01:44:19,686 --> 01:44:23,924
That this was my first love
1067
01:44:24,024 --> 01:44:29,062
I need you, I need you
1068
01:44:29,162 --> 01:44:34,334
I need you, I need you
1069
01:44:34,434 --> 01:44:39,406
I need you, I need you
1070
01:44:39,573 --> 01:44:43,644
I need you
1071
01:44:52,119 --> 01:44:53,287
Thank you!
1072
01:45:05,799 --> 01:45:06,767
Phew...
1073
01:45:12,906 --> 01:45:14,875
So today is the final day of the tour.
1074
01:45:15,208 --> 01:45:16,610
Strange.
1075
01:45:22,316 --> 01:45:24,117
Oh, I was...
1076
01:45:28,055 --> 01:45:33,026
I was going to say something
after that talk but what was it?
1077
01:45:34,928 --> 01:45:37,698
I sang "First Love" and "Hatsukoi"
and forgot about it.
1078
01:45:37,764 --> 01:45:39,599
Well...
1079
01:45:40,067 --> 01:45:43,904
Oh well. I'll tell you if I remember.
1080
01:45:46,973 --> 01:45:50,077
Let me get some water.
1081
01:45:55,082 --> 01:45:58,151
It's Suntory's
"Minami Alps Natural Spring Water."
1082
01:46:13,233 --> 01:46:15,168
Phew.
1083
01:46:15,836 --> 01:46:18,905
The next one is the last song.
1084
01:46:25,379 --> 01:46:29,015
So I'll fire myself up for it.
1085
01:46:30,350 --> 01:46:32,085
Oh, that's right.
1086
01:46:32,386 --> 01:46:35,722
Hint: It's that,
the thing I've just drunk.
1087
01:46:36,289 --> 01:46:38,692
So you guys...
1088
01:46:39,126 --> 01:46:44,030
It was the first time in a while for me
to aim to create a song
1089
01:46:44,765 --> 01:46:47,968
that would just make me feel really good.
1090
01:46:48,068 --> 01:46:52,305
So feel free to flow to it
how you like, and have fun.
1091
01:46:52,406 --> 01:46:54,641
So shall we...?
1092
01:46:54,741 --> 01:46:56,109
Okay, here we go!
1093
01:46:59,546 --> 01:47:04,017
When I am hurt,
1094
01:47:04,117 --> 01:47:08,288
I quietly retreat to introspection
1095
01:47:08,622 --> 01:47:14,394
You read into it too much,
1096
01:47:14,494 --> 01:47:17,731
and battle with anxiety
1097
01:47:25,005 --> 01:47:27,140
Hold me tight and don't let go
1098
01:47:33,780 --> 01:47:35,382
Why we fight I don't know
1099
01:47:35,482 --> 01:47:42,489
I can't speak for other people
1100
01:47:44,458 --> 01:47:51,198
But there are no hidden meanings
_behind my words
1101
01:47:53,567 --> 01:48:00,340
I want to greet the end of
the long winter with a smile
1102
01:48:00,440 --> 01:48:02,576
Being stubborn only makes it colder
1103
01:48:02,676 --> 01:48:07,013
I'm fed up with
depressing conversations
1104
01:48:07,113 --> 01:48:09,316
Let me say that I love you
1105
01:48:09,416 --> 01:48:11,751
Can we play a love song?
1106
01:48:21,027 --> 01:48:25,332
The concern of friends
1107
01:48:25,565 --> 01:48:30,003
and childhood trauma
1108
01:48:30,103 --> 01:48:36,476
They're only footnotes
1109
01:48:36,910 --> 01:48:39,246
in our continuing history
1110
01:48:46,486 --> 01:48:48,989
Hold me tight and don't let go
1111
01:48:55,295 --> 01:48:56,796
Why we fight I don't know
1112
01:48:56,997 --> 01:49:04,004
I don't know since when my parents
have been the way they are
1113
01:49:06,039 --> 01:49:12,812
But you and I, we will keep on growing
1114
01:49:15,115 --> 01:49:19,386
Let's try calming down for a second
1115
01:49:19,586 --> 01:49:21,588
I'm not trivializing it,
1116
01:49:21,888 --> 01:49:24,057
just saying you might be
over-thinking it
1117
01:49:24,157 --> 01:49:28,461
I'm fed up with
depressing conversations
1118
01:49:28,662 --> 01:49:30,463
Let's eat and laugh and go to bed
1119
01:49:30,931 --> 01:49:32,966
Can we play a love song?
1120
01:49:49,849 --> 01:49:52,419
Come here.
1121
01:49:54,454 --> 01:49:58,558
Don't go astray.
1122
01:49:58,959 --> 01:50:01,094
Hold me tight and don't let
1123
01:50:07,267 --> 01:50:08,101
go
1124
01:50:11,671 --> 01:50:14,441
I want to hold you
1125
01:50:14,541 --> 01:50:18,311
as if to say I will never let you go
1126
01:50:18,411 --> 01:50:20,647
It's alright
for you to keep doubting me
1127
01:50:20,747 --> 01:50:25,185
But I'm fed up with
depressing conversations
1128
01:50:25,285 --> 01:50:27,454
It's no wonder
I feel the need to lie sometimes
1129
01:50:27,554 --> 01:50:29,623
Can we play a love song?
1130
01:50:29,789 --> 01:50:36,496
I want to greet the end of
the long winter with a smile
1131
01:50:36,596 --> 01:50:38,898
Being stubborn only makes it colder
1132
01:50:38,999 --> 01:50:43,003
I'm fed up with
depressing conversations
1133
01:50:43,403 --> 01:50:45,538
Let me hear you say you love me
1134
01:50:45,705 --> 01:50:47,507
Can we play a love song?
1135
01:53:38,278 --> 01:53:44,217
My girlfriend is so-so pretty;
1136
01:53:44,317 --> 01:53:48,221
amiable and sociable
1137
01:53:50,190 --> 01:53:53,193
My friends evaluate her
1138
01:53:53,293 --> 01:53:59,933
as a nice, cool girl
1139
01:54:02,235 --> 01:54:08,541
My girlfriend doesn't stick her nose
1140
01:54:08,641 --> 01:54:14,047
into my work and hobbies
1141
01:54:14,280 --> 01:54:19,986
Even when I get home late
1142
01:54:20,320 --> 01:54:23,623
she doesn't ask for details
1143
01:54:26,226 --> 01:54:31,931
The person next to you is me,
1144
01:54:32,065 --> 01:54:37,804
but not really me
1145
01:54:38,204 --> 01:54:41,207
It's tough being a girl,
1146
01:54:41,307 --> 01:54:48,314
I don't want
to be thought of as a burden
1147
01:54:50,250 --> 01:54:56,189
My girlfriend doesn't bring up
1148
01:54:56,289 --> 01:55:00,760
topics we've been over before
1149
01:55:02,228 --> 01:55:04,931
Because I'm cool,
1150
01:55:05,265 --> 01:55:12,071
I don't ask unnecessary questions
1151
01:55:14,240 --> 01:55:19,045
Playing the role of
the strong woman you desire
1152
01:55:19,145 --> 01:55:25,685
Has made me tougher
1153
01:55:26,219 --> 01:55:29,255
But how long will this go on?
1154
01:55:29,355 --> 01:55:36,362
Con-artists fooling each other
1155
01:55:37,931 --> 01:55:43,603
I want the courage
1156
01:55:43,903 --> 01:55:49,442
To want what I really want
1157
01:55:49,842 --> 01:55:55,815
I've been thinking lately,
1158
01:55:55,915 --> 01:56:00,620
every time we make love:
1159
01:56:00,720 --> 01:56:06,592
I want to invite you,
1160
01:56:06,693 --> 01:56:11,764
to a place much deeper than my body
1161
01:56:12,732 --> 01:56:18,371
I want to touch you,
1162
01:56:18,671 --> 01:56:23,977
in a place far deeper than your body
1163
01:56:24,711 --> 01:56:30,316
I want to invite somebody to enter
1164
01:56:30,717 --> 01:56:35,555
Somebody to find my truth
1165
01:56:36,689 --> 01:56:42,195
I want to invite someone to touch
1166
01:56:42,762 --> 01:56:48,134
Eternity, eternity
1167
01:56:49,869 --> 01:56:55,742
I have no aspirations,
1168
01:56:55,842 --> 01:57:01,481
my desire is to maintain the status quo
1169
01:57:01,881 --> 01:57:07,653
Someday, I know
she will get sick of me,
1170
01:57:07,854 --> 01:57:12,425
boring me
1171
01:57:12,725 --> 01:57:18,631
I want to invite you,
1172
01:57:18,731 --> 01:57:23,703
to a place much deeper than my body
1173
01:57:24,737 --> 01:57:30,610
I want to touch you,
1174
01:57:30,710 --> 01:57:35,748
to a place much deeper than my body
1175
01:57:36,716 --> 01:57:42,088
I want to invite somebody to enter
1176
01:57:42,722 --> 01:57:47,693
Somebody to find my truth
1177
01:57:48,728 --> 01:57:53,933
I want to invite someone to touch
1178
01:57:54,367 --> 01:58:00,139
Eternity, eternity
1179
01:58:00,706 --> 01:58:02,708
I invite you
1180
01:58:31,904 --> 01:58:33,906
Thanks for calling for me!
1181
01:58:41,013 --> 01:58:43,783
There are still some songs I have to sing.
1182
01:58:43,950 --> 01:58:46,652
Before that, let me introduce my band.
1183
01:58:47,086 --> 01:58:49,455
On keyboard and percussion...
1184
01:58:49,555 --> 01:58:52,492
Actually I hired him for guitar
but he can do everything!
1185
01:58:53,059 --> 01:58:55,495
Henry Bowers-Broadbent.
1186
01:58:59,398 --> 01:59:00,099
Whoooa!
1187
01:59:07,640 --> 01:59:10,143
And on drums, Earl Harvin!
1188
01:59:19,685 --> 01:59:22,989
And on guitar, Ben Parker!
1189
01:59:31,063 --> 01:59:35,168
And on piano, keyboards, and Rhodes,
Vincent Taurelle.
1190
01:59:41,174 --> 01:59:43,843
And on bass, and bandleader,
Jodi Milliner!
1191
01:59:51,951 --> 01:59:57,757
And this shining section is
Udai Shika Strings!
1192
02:00:01,527 --> 02:00:04,830
And on vocals, Hikaru Utada!
Thanks for listening!
1193
02:00:24,650 --> 02:00:28,487
You picked up the phone
1194
02:00:28,588 --> 02:00:32,491
on the seventh ring
1195
02:00:33,793 --> 02:00:37,029
I don't have to say my name,
1196
02:00:37,129 --> 02:00:43,769
you can tell who I am
1197
02:00:44,237 --> 02:00:48,407
Melodies fall naturally
1198
02:00:48,507 --> 02:00:52,845
from the lips
1199
02:00:53,446 --> 02:01:00,253
But the moments we lose words
1200
02:01:00,486 --> 02:01:03,689
are the sweetest
1201
02:01:03,823 --> 02:01:07,693
Days when something bad happened,
1202
02:01:08,761 --> 02:01:13,199
everything blows away when I see you
1203
02:01:13,599 --> 02:01:17,403
Days I can't see you, my rainy days
1204
02:01:18,504 --> 02:01:25,211
Hearing your voice will
automatically make the sun shine
1205
02:01:26,479 --> 02:01:29,015
It's automatic,
1206
02:01:29,282 --> 02:01:31,617
just being near you
1207
02:01:31,717 --> 02:01:36,522
Just having your eyes on me
1208
02:01:37,156 --> 02:01:42,295
(I don't know why)
My heart races and I can't say no
1209
02:01:42,395 --> 02:01:45,531
I just can't help
1210
02:01:46,032 --> 02:01:48,768
It's automatic,
1211
02:01:48,868 --> 02:01:50,970
when you hold me
1212
02:01:51,237 --> 02:01:56,108
It feels like we're in paradise
1213
02:01:56,776 --> 02:02:01,881
(I don't know why)
It's blinding, and I close my eyes
1214
02:02:01,981 --> 02:02:05,318
I feel so good
1215
02:02:05,651 --> 02:02:08,954
It's automatic
1216
02:02:17,296 --> 02:02:21,200
Your ambivalent attitude
1217
02:02:21,300 --> 02:02:26,138
still makes me insecure
1218
02:02:26,539 --> 02:02:29,909
Just how much I'm into you,
1219
02:02:30,009 --> 02:02:36,549
I'll keep secret
for a little while longer
1220
02:02:36,849 --> 02:02:40,586
Days when kindness only hurt,
1221
02:02:41,754 --> 02:02:46,559
you were always honest with me
1222
02:02:46,659 --> 02:02:50,262
Days when I can't cry alone,
my rainy days
1223
02:02:51,597 --> 02:02:58,170
I touch the ring, and see,
it makes the sun shine
1224
02:02:59,538 --> 02:03:02,108
It's automatic,
1225
02:03:02,208 --> 02:03:04,643
just being near you
1226
02:03:04,744 --> 02:03:09,148
My body heats up all over
1227
02:03:10,282 --> 02:03:12,585
(I don't know why)
I can't conceal my anxiety,
1228
02:03:12,685 --> 02:03:15,287
it's hard to breathe
1229
02:03:15,388 --> 02:03:18,624
I just can't help
1230
02:03:19,125 --> 02:03:21,761
It's automatic
1231
02:03:21,861 --> 02:03:24,163
when I log in
1232
02:03:24,630 --> 02:03:29,001
and see on my computer screen
1233
02:03:29,802 --> 02:03:32,138
The flickering words
(I don't know why)
1234
02:03:32,238 --> 02:03:35,040
When I put my hand against them,
1235
02:03:35,141 --> 02:03:38,010
I feel so warm
1236
02:03:38,711 --> 02:03:41,213
It's automatic,
1237
02:03:41,414 --> 02:03:43,816
just being near you
1238
02:03:43,916 --> 02:03:49,088
Doesn't make me feel affection for you
1239
02:03:49,422 --> 02:03:51,290
(I don't know why)
I just need you,
1240
02:03:51,891 --> 02:03:54,593
it's not because I'm lonely
1241
02:03:54,693 --> 02:03:57,229
I just need you
1242
02:03:58,297 --> 02:04:00,533
It's automatic
1243
02:04:37,503 --> 02:04:40,072
It's automatic
1244
02:04:40,272 --> 02:04:42,608
when you hold me
1245
02:04:42,708 --> 02:04:47,546
It feels like we're in paradise
1246
02:04:48,247 --> 02:04:53,319
(I don't know why)
It’s blinding, and I close my eyes
1247
02:04:53,385 --> 02:04:56,155
I feel so good
1248
02:04:57,122 --> 02:05:00,192
It's automatic
1249
02:05:16,408 --> 02:05:17,910
Thank you!
1250
02:05:26,185 --> 02:05:27,152
Phew!
1251
02:05:32,224 --> 02:05:36,128
So it's the day this was released.
Alright.
1252
02:05:36,228 --> 02:05:42,201
So 20 years ago today, this song,
"Automatic", was officially released.
1253
02:05:42,301 --> 02:05:45,371
Oh, I should have thought
about that before singing.
1254
02:05:47,106 --> 02:05:48,874
I just realized. I see.
1255
02:05:51,544 --> 02:05:53,412
Right. Amazing.
1256
02:05:56,215 --> 02:05:57,783
That's the first CD I bought!
1257
02:05:57,883 --> 02:05:59,785
Oh, really? The first CD you bought?
1258
02:05:59,885 --> 02:06:02,821
I'm getting bashful. Thank you very much.
1259
02:06:05,491 --> 02:06:06,792
Thank you.
1260
02:06:39,425 --> 02:06:40,392
Thank you.
1261
02:06:44,363 --> 02:06:51,170
You know, I was 15
when this song came out.
1262
02:06:52,404 --> 02:06:55,074
After school I went to a CD store
with my friend
1263
02:06:55,574 --> 02:07:01,280
and saw them on the shelves,
and was like, "Oh, it's really out".
1264
02:07:01,380 --> 02:07:07,987
My friend tried it at the listening booth
and gave me his pretentious opinion.
1265
02:07:08,520 --> 02:07:11,523
Very good memories,
but it feels very strange now.
1266
02:07:11,624 --> 02:07:12,625
And nostalgic.
1267
02:07:13,559 --> 02:07:16,428
But you know, this song didn't become #1.
1268
02:07:16,528 --> 02:07:20,199
It was released in two formats
so the sales diverged,
1269
02:07:20,299 --> 02:07:22,635
and "Dango San-Kyodai" was very strong.
1270
02:07:23,302 --> 02:07:25,337
It was #1 for a long time.
"Dango San-Kyodai".
1271
02:07:25,437 --> 02:07:27,606
To be honest, it was so frustrating.
1272
02:07:29,174 --> 02:07:33,545
But it was a social phenomenon.
1273
02:07:34,013 --> 02:07:36,582
Everyone was singing "Dango San-Kyodai",
1274
02:07:37,282 --> 02:07:39,585
though I was watching them wondering why.
1275
02:07:40,319 --> 02:07:43,422
And my mother was #1
for 30-somthing weeks.
1276
02:07:43,522 --> 02:07:47,493
I remember I was really amazed by that.
1277
02:07:47,660 --> 02:07:50,596
Thank you, really.
1278
02:07:54,333 --> 02:07:56,001
Oh by the way,
1279
02:07:56,568 --> 02:07:59,271
did you enjoy the short film?
1280
02:08:02,574 --> 02:08:05,611
I heard a lot of laughter at the back.
1281
02:08:06,445 --> 02:08:11,650
I asked him at quite short notice,
and he was kind enough to secure two days,
1282
02:08:11,950 --> 02:08:16,555
and wrote the script with all his might,
to bring out that part of me.
1283
02:08:16,655 --> 02:08:19,358
Please give a hand to Matayoshi-san.
1284
02:08:31,603 --> 02:08:33,505
And although they're not on stage,
1285
02:08:33,639 --> 02:08:37,309
there are many people
involved in this tour.
1286
02:08:39,144 --> 02:08:42,381
I can't count how many titles,
1287
02:08:42,481 --> 02:08:45,117
I mean, roles there are.
1288
02:08:45,384 --> 02:08:50,055
It's like, "What, is that done by hand?"
1289
02:08:50,155 --> 02:08:53,559
So many things are done by hand
1290
02:08:53,659 --> 02:08:56,595
to create the show.
1291
02:08:57,563 --> 02:09:00,566
If I just mention a little...
1292
02:09:01,100 --> 02:09:04,603
The sound crew that works,
has been working,
1293
02:09:04,970 --> 02:09:09,074
eh, worked hard to make sure everyone,
1294
02:09:09,174 --> 02:09:13,112
including those at the back
and on the sides,
1295
02:09:13,212 --> 02:09:17,049
no matter where they are,
will get the best possible sound.
1296
02:09:17,649 --> 02:09:23,288
The lighting team have worked hard
to present the best show possible.
1297
02:09:24,056 --> 02:09:28,594
The techs around the instruments,
those who produce smokes,
1298
02:09:28,694 --> 02:09:33,031
the hair/makeup and costume people
have worked hard and very late hours.
1299
02:09:33,298 --> 02:09:37,469
The monitor team, the venue staff,
1300
02:09:37,569 --> 02:09:40,038
the security staff...
1301
02:09:40,105 --> 02:09:46,111
And those who brought this huge set
to so many places
1302
02:09:46,178 --> 02:09:50,082
and assembled and took them apart...
1303
02:09:50,182 --> 02:09:53,585
Sometimes it takes about two hours
after the show.
1304
02:09:53,685 --> 02:09:59,258
I'm sure they can hear us,
so please give them a heartfelt applause!
1305
02:10:32,324 --> 02:10:36,161
And you know what...
1306
02:10:36,762 --> 02:10:39,765
I wasn't sure if I should say this today,
1307
02:10:40,332 --> 02:10:43,168
but I'll take the opportunity anyway,
1308
02:10:43,802 --> 02:10:46,939
it's the 20th anniversary.
1309
02:10:47,005 --> 02:10:48,707
Occasions like this
don't come along often.
1310
02:10:52,144 --> 02:10:59,151
It's just that I have two people
to say thank you to.
1311
02:10:59,284 --> 02:11:02,487
I want to say thank you
to my mother and father,
1312
02:11:02,554 --> 02:11:05,524
who brought me to this world
and raised me.
1313
02:11:23,242 --> 02:11:27,546
First of all, of course,
just as a human being.
1314
02:11:27,846 --> 02:11:31,717
I mean if your parents didn't
look after you when you were a baby,
1315
02:11:31,817 --> 02:11:33,886
you couldn't have become an adult.
1316
02:11:34,286 --> 02:11:36,188
There's that.
1317
02:11:36,388 --> 02:11:39,258
And also, as a singer, and a musician
1318
02:11:40,225 --> 02:11:45,364
-If my mother hadn't been so passionate
about music and my talent...
1319
02:11:45,731 --> 02:11:51,503
Ever since I was tiny, she believed in me
and told everyone how amazing I was.
1320
02:11:51,603 --> 02:11:55,240
I wasn't the type to go
in front of people.
1321
02:11:55,340 --> 02:11:58,911
So although I have always loved music,
1322
02:11:58,977 --> 02:12:02,214
I probably wouldn't have chosen this
as a profession.
1323
02:12:04,016 --> 02:12:09,788
And in great combination with that was
the fact that my father was my manager.
1324
02:12:10,022 --> 02:12:13,725
I don't think anybody else
would have taken me seriously,
1325
02:12:14,059 --> 02:12:18,330
a 15-year-old girl, with an attitude like,
1326
02:12:18,430 --> 02:12:19,932
"I don't want to skip school
1327
02:12:20,232 --> 02:12:23,869
so I'll do very limited
promotional activities".
1328
02:12:24,603 --> 02:12:27,539
It's like "What are you talking about?"
1329
02:12:27,639 --> 02:12:31,310
Other management companies
may not have given me a shot.
1330
02:12:31,944 --> 02:12:36,281
Working with a family member is strange.
1331
02:12:36,381 --> 02:12:40,719
There are good things and bad things.
1332
02:12:40,819 --> 02:12:45,624
I see my father often,
but cannot say this in person.
1333
02:12:45,891 --> 02:12:49,361
I'm a bit shy to say this in person,
1334
02:12:49,461 --> 02:12:53,832
but I'll take this luxurious opportunity
to say thank you.
1335
02:12:53,932 --> 02:12:55,434
20th anniversary.
1336
02:12:55,534 --> 02:13:00,172
Let me say thank you for letting me
come this far, 20 years.
1337
02:13:00,238 --> 02:13:01,573
That's all.
1338
02:13:01,873 --> 02:13:02,874
Oh, I said it!
1339
02:13:14,820 --> 02:13:19,791
Also, you had to go through
a tedious application process
1340
02:13:19,891 --> 02:13:21,727
for the tickets to this show.
1341
02:13:21,827 --> 02:13:26,431
You had to send your photo;
you had to go through so many things,
1342
02:13:26,531 --> 02:13:28,633
such as getting unapproved and stuff.
1343
02:13:28,734 --> 02:13:30,936
You took all this trouble.
1344
02:13:31,870 --> 02:13:35,941
And you put this day on hold
such a long time in advance.
1345
02:13:36,375 --> 02:13:39,378
And today you've made good
on your words and showed up.
1346
02:13:39,578 --> 02:13:41,380
Thanks to you all too.
1347
02:13:42,814 --> 02:13:44,983
You made my day special. Thank you.
1348
02:13:56,094 --> 02:13:59,398
So, this being the final show of the tour,
I've been talking too much.
1349
02:14:00,298 --> 02:14:03,735
Some of you take the train to go home.
1350
02:14:03,802 --> 02:14:10,709
So I'll go on to the last song.
1351
02:14:11,176 --> 02:14:12,544
Yes, last song.
1352
02:14:19,117 --> 02:14:21,319
It's the last song.
1353
02:14:21,420 --> 02:14:26,391
Honestly, because it's the end of the tour
for the first time in a while,
1354
02:14:26,825 --> 02:14:31,730
I was a little tired in the morning.
1355
02:14:31,830 --> 02:14:35,867
So I'm not sure if I was able to exude
as much energy as you expected.
1356
02:14:36,268 --> 02:14:39,704
But I felt so much support from you today.
1357
02:14:40,005 --> 02:14:42,407
For this last song,
1358
02:14:42,808 --> 02:14:48,547
I will give you all of my remaining power
so that you don't even have to help.
1359
02:14:48,780 --> 02:14:51,683
So let's go. Here's the last song!
1360
02:15:11,470 --> 02:15:18,243
After the sweet candy vanished
1361
02:15:18,643 --> 02:15:22,581
What was left was a lonely-looking boy
1362
02:15:22,681 --> 02:15:26,651
A cloudless summer day
1363
02:15:26,918 --> 02:15:33,658
Sunburnt limbs,
not giving a single care
1364
02:15:34,459 --> 02:15:38,463
If her white frock gets dirtied
1365
02:15:38,697 --> 02:15:42,134
A paradise of the unconscious
1366
02:15:42,634 --> 02:15:49,641
There is no holding up
the end of a dream
1367
02:15:50,642 --> 02:15:55,981
One day I learned your name
1368
02:15:57,916 --> 02:16:00,519
So goodbye loneliness
1369
02:16:01,186 --> 02:16:04,956
Singing along to a popular love song
1370
02:16:05,223 --> 02:16:10,662
The reflected image of me in your eyes
1371
02:16:10,929 --> 02:16:13,732
is smiling
1372
02:16:13,965 --> 02:16:16,968
So goodbye happiness
1373
02:16:17,235 --> 02:16:21,406
We can't return to
1374
02:16:21,506 --> 02:16:26,845
those days we frolicked unaware
1375
02:16:26,945 --> 02:16:30,549
But I can handle it; love me
1376
02:16:30,916 --> 02:16:37,923
Don't over-think it,
and don't be self-destructive
1377
02:16:39,391 --> 02:16:46,198
It's all child's play,
this fleeting world
1378
02:16:46,665 --> 02:16:53,672
It is in solitude
1379
02:16:54,673 --> 02:17:00,645
That one realizes the meaning of love
1380
02:17:01,913 --> 02:17:05,083
Days long past
1381
02:17:05,183 --> 02:17:08,753
Let me hear a comforting song
1382
02:17:09,221 --> 02:17:13,091
Do you still remember
1383
02:17:13,191 --> 02:17:17,796
how you felt
in the early days when we met?
1384
02:17:17,896 --> 02:17:21,066
So goodbye innocence
1385
02:17:21,166 --> 02:17:25,303
We can't return
1386
02:17:25,403 --> 02:17:30,976
to those days we frolicked unaware
1387
02:17:31,142 --> 02:17:35,347
It's your fault; kiss me
1388
02:17:37,682 --> 02:17:41,920
Oh, all things
under the sun go round and round
1389
02:17:42,387 --> 02:17:44,556
Oh, darling, darling,
1390
02:17:44,656 --> 02:17:48,593
I will not switch to someone else
1391
02:17:48,693 --> 02:17:51,529
Only you
1392
02:18:21,960 --> 02:18:28,967
Wouldn't it be great
if we could live just the way we are
1393
02:18:29,200 --> 02:18:30,835
When it really matters,
1394
02:18:30,935 --> 02:18:37,842
the other me tries to ruin everything
1395
02:18:37,942 --> 02:18:40,779
So goodbye happiness
1396
02:18:41,146 --> 02:18:45,083
Wouldn't it be great
1397
02:18:45,417 --> 02:18:49,287
if we could return
to frolicking unaware
1398
02:18:49,387 --> 02:18:56,394
Then baby, once again, kiss me
1399
02:21:20,004 --> 02:21:25,009
