hold me gently
but firmly
don't leave me
can you feel it too
my body is
trembling a bit
our love is
drawing close to an end
hold your breath
till it's over
don't say
anything sweet
it would make me cry
even if i fall in love
with someone else
i'm sure
you'll forgive me
and even now
you are letting me
drift away from you
promise me
hold me tight
promise me you won't let me go
can't you notice
my sorrow
it's such a conventional one
our love is
drawing close to an end
hold your breath
till it's over
don't say
anything sweet
it would make me cry
i don't think
i will ever fall in love
with you
again
and even now
i'm letting you
drift apart from me
la la la la
our love is
drawing close to an end
the end of it all

a new
stereophonic sound
spectacular!
can you remember
what you used to tell me
when you were
in a good
mood?
that corny
line you used to tell me
tonight you are
the sweetest girl
on earth and so on
it's seven o'clock in the evening
in tokyo
tonight
who is your sweetest girl
in the world?
who is the most beautiful
girl in the world
tonight?
and then
you would hold me (have sex with me)
when you felt like
mmm remember?
i used to think
ours was
a special kind of love
and i was convinced
i was the happiest
girl in the world
yes i was
a love romance like in a B movie
so who is
your sweetest girl in the world
tonight?
a hotel at night in tokyo
in bed you'll
crack up
your favorite routine
me too i used to
ask my looking-glass
as i did
my make-up
mirror, mirror on the wall
please tell me
who is the fairest
girl
of all?
i will never go again
to my favorite shop
on earth
i don't need
my favorite flowers
anymore
i will never go again
to my favorite hotel
on earth
i will never meet
the guy i love most on earth
ever again

as I watched tv vacantly
I had a strange dream
woke up and saw the time
tokyo, 7 p.m.
just to see you
I've been dressed up since morning
I want to be loved all night
tokyo, 7 p.m.
the restaurant
where we were to meet
had closed and disappeared
and I'm dying
from hunger
I wanna see you soon
I wanna see you soon
tokyo at 7 p.m.
this glorious city
is like a lie
I'm so lonely so I wanna see you
tokyo, 7 p.m.
I truly love you
but I'm so lonely and I wanna see you
a breeze hits me
as I open the taxi window
I'm rushing to see you
tokyo, 7 p.m.
suddenly, an answering machine
starts by itself
and talks all night
the tokyo night, mysterious
waiting for the lights
at a crossing
you are always so kind
today again
I'm a little late
I wanna see you soon
I wanna see you soon
tokyo, 7 p.m.
but it's not christmas
i'm so lonely, so I wanna see you
tokyo, 7 p.m.
I truly love you
I'm so lonely, and I wanna see you

you're silent, in a bad mood
playing your guitar
you are long-haired
my sulky boy
the moment I met you
I understood
I was born to
fall in love with you
you look at me with your dark eyes
like an October sea
you're so tall
my moody boy
hey,
will you love me tonight?
woo
will you hold me all night?
I'll sleep
with you
baby baby baby baby
you're so good at kissing,
dishonest and very cool
you're so good at lying,
dishonest and very cool
I was born to
be loved by you, but
I was born to
be loved by you, but
you don't say a word
just play your guitar all day
I know that
the music will always end but
like a rose tatto
on a sailor's arm
I'm yours
we're inseparable
nee
will you love me tonight?
woo
hugged by angel
I'll sleep
with you
baby baby baby baby
you're so good at kissing,
dishonest and very cool
you're so good at lying
dishonest and very cool
I was born to
be loved by you, but
I was born to
be loved
nee
will you always love me?
woo
hold me till the morning
I'll sleep
with you
baby baby baby baby
someday you'll leave me behind
somewhere but
anyway I'll take a bus
to the next town with you
to where the sandstorm blows
in a town somewhere I don't know
I was born to
loved by you, but
I was born to
loved by you, but

don't ask me silly questions

if we fall asleep
and dream the same dream
that someone is
whispering sayonara
we both wake up
in the middle of the night
with a start
past-present-future
what will happen to us?
but after all
we're just lovers
and though we're much alike
we're not exactly the same
that's it we're lovers
today just
like we were yesterday
but i don't want to think

yesterday-today-tomorrow
i don't want to think

i found
a long hair on the sweater
you just took off
give up darling
men's lies
are easy to spot
and in the bathroom
as you look at the mirror
there you are
a stranger staring back
and though i also
lie
from time to time
then-now-later
what am i to do?
but after all
we're just lovers
and though
i'd like to think that
we're much alike
that's it we're lovers
at present
as we were in the past
but what about the future?
strange
past-present-future
what about the future?

we're an odd couple
we're smiling but
i think you're
lying to me
it's sad
we pretend to love each other
for the first time in ages
on a sunday
when i didn't have to work
i was awaken
by the phone -- 'wrong number'
and there was nobody around
you're a kind lover
you smile to me
even when
you're lying to me
it's sad
we pretend to love each other
for the first time in ages
on a sunday
when i didn't have to work
i called
an old friend
but he wasn't home
i turned on the telly
just for the hell of it
live sports was all there was
in the fridge
old lettuce
was all there was
i'm not going to ponder over
mistakes anymore
there is still nobody
in this room
and i am not
by your side
it's sad
we pretend to love each other
it's sad
you are always
hiding something from me
it's sad
we pretend to love each other
it's sad
i am also
always hiding something from you

can you say you love me
even if we don't have a future?
can you say you love me
although you're so cold to me?
stop look and listen
you are too distant from me
we're like london and paris
it takes only an hour to get there
but london and paris are in
different time zones
that's why this won't work
we even speak different languages
we were doomed
from the start
i were not made for each other
can you say you love me
even if we don't have a future?
can you say you love me
when you're such
a cold-hearted bastard?
stop look and listen
we don't think alike
we're just like london and paris
not that far away
you just get
on a plane and you're there
but it's hopeless
i don't have
a passport to your heart
we were doomed
from the start
i were not made for each other
that's why
we were doomed
from the start
we won't be together for long
we're just like london and paris
so much so it breaks my heart

the weekend's vacation,
suddenly cancelled
you pay no attention
and just bite into your apple
what are you doing?
nothing but sighing
hallelujah! my girl
let's give a toast
such a troubled face
don't worry!
it's gonna be OK, it's gonna be alright,
no matter what
I want to make a
long distance phone call
to the great girls I've known,
to my old roomate
what am I doing?
what in the world am I doing?
hallelujah! lovers
let's give a toast
it's just a passing fancy
don't be worried
it's gonna be okay, it's gonna be alright,
no matter what
don't turn on the radio
I'm sick of the news
what's everybody doing?
what's happened to the city?
hallelujah! god
you must already know
nobody would
make fun of you
we're just a little bit
frightened
hallelujah! god
hallelujah! my girl
goodbye! god
goodbye! my girl
isn't it a wonderful thing
we're together
with so many secrets
packed in the trunk

one day as i woke up
wings had grown on my back
almost transparent blue
wings like a big butterfly's
which i saw last night
in this strange dream
one day as i woke up
i had become a butterfly
which i had seen long ago
and still could remember
in a strange dream
a beautiful dream with a blue butterfly
one day as i woke up
i had fallen in love
like i had dreamt the night before
a strange dream
one day as i woke up
i had been reborn
then i opened the window
the pale light of spring
and flew away through the window

In the perpetual darkness,
a comet passing through
Andromeda suddenly shines
A miracle is born, a sign
In total darkness on the other side
From a rolling video tape
A king I sometimes dream of
Softly whispers words of love
Yes, it's 2001 today
Cleopatra is dozing off so wake her up
Yes, it's 2001 today
the star of fickle love
is born alone
Hello
Ah, and today the orbits
Continue to turn
Venus is a little bored
of these weightless satellites
On the other side of perpetual darkness
On a silver video tape
The loving words of a playboy
I once met
Are being looped
And it's 2001 today
Cleopatra is sleepy so wake her up
And it's 2001 years today
the gossip of fickle love
Is born alone
Goodbye

i want you to
blindfold me
silently with your hands
so that i can't see a thing
the rising wall
on the world map -- the blue sea
we hug and sink in the blue sea
a deformed continent on the world map
i can open my
heart to you
kiss me
a kiss that will let me forget
stay by my side
we passed each other in a town somewhere
somewhere on the world map
on the world map
a mark was erased
and though we are sad...

lovers
tired of fighting
two sleepy people
lovers
ran out of cigarettes
but nobody bothers to buy more
just stay there silent
the night is very deep and
the two lovers say
they'll love each other forever
in no time
those lovers
will be dreaming
the night is very deep and
the two lovers say
they'll love each other forever
in no time
they had a dream
lovers
tired of fighting
two sleepy people
good night

together on a summer morning
basking in the gentle rain
clear green
whispering words of love
but lovers
always pretend not to hear
lovers
lovers
just smile
together on a summer afternoon
sleeping on the grass
the green melts away
and the season
changes but
lovers pretend not to notice
lovers

the first time
the two of us
ever spoke to each other
was a windy thursday afternoon
in may
on a dazzling main street
In front of a flower shop
In a bad temper
you stared at me
I still remember the little things
like the lily you
you gave me
the first time
the two of us
kissed was
a week later
on thursday night
In a gentle rain
walking for hours and hours
we repeated the same
old gossip
suddenly, the two of us
pretended
to run out of topics
and we fell in love as expected
after that
when the two of us
parted it was
a cloudy thursday morning in
september
before I knew it, you were not
in our bed
and the two of us would never
meet again

there's a statue of liberty
in your heart
a free soul, a guitar,
a bike, boots and a jack knife
living without a watch
but with an answering machine
you are looking for
a golden heart that shines in the night
the gold bracelet you gave your ex-girlfriend
is in the pawn shop
a tattoo on the arm
a tattoo of the statue of liberty
it's fantastic
statue of liberty
it's rising
statue of liberty
it's cool
statue of liberty
it's gorgeous
statue of liberty
statue of liberty
your girl looks good barefoot
she's like the statue of liberty
she's always cool and she sleeps with anybody
she walks and loves as a free spirit
tonight she'll spend the night somewhere
of course with another person
it's fantastic
statue of liberty
it's rising
statue of liberty
it's cool
statue of liberty
it's gorgeous
statue of liberty
statue of liberty
-RAP-
one two one two
have a look
life is a fussy
metamorphosis
danger at
three o'clock
at twelve o'clock
i remember
i gotta say
everything is possible
if it's good then it's good
and will come to an end
i can't walk
wearing
platform shoes
somehow
how? this way
a rocker come this far
slow low
rough whatever
each one has its own means
values are relative
and changes violent
this city
has come to a dead end
on the verge of a nervous breakdown
with my microphone
i'll scatter rhymes
all around the place
i'll do it here too
an urban minstrel
groove
rare records, jeans
and a statue of liberty T-shirt
dogs barking,
children crying and
cars always stolen
groove
it's fantastic
statue of liberty
it's rising
statue of liberty
it's cool
statue of liberty
it's gorgeous
statue of liberty
statue of liberty

In the snow,
like a sleigh ride
the train holding us two
is running away
february 67
strawberry fields
a completely white winter view
sleep forever
like lovers in
a cold country
putting on
a coonskin cap
fingers gone numb
and like Quinn the eskimo
with a sniffy red nose
saying ";I love you";
dashing, (strawberry sleighride)
the bullet train
to the weekend's vacation
right now, (strawberry sleighride)
we love each other,
just like when we were 7
In the snow,
both of us together
vow to love each other
all at once saying
even if the end of the 20th
century comes tomorrow
nobody but you!
things like that
dashing, (strawberry sleighride)
moving quickly to
the gloomy kingdom
right now, (strawberry sleighride)
we're in a bad mood,
just like when we were 7
in blue sunglasses,
like a dead actress,
don't be a snob:
tell me you love me
fingers feeling numb
and like Quinn the eskimo
tell me your old stories,
till I fall asleep
dashing, (strawberry sleighride)
the bullet train,
to the weekend vacation
right now, (strawberry sleighride)
we kiss
just like when we were 7

I was passing the time for a while
in a large bookstore
open until midnight
I was reading through magazines
with my old friends in them
reading the horoscope
and then A TV guide and
a best seller
a magazine my friend is in
and a magazine that I'm in
Paid for the whole thing by credit card
at the big free market
opens only on Saturday afternoon
I was passing the time alone
yesterday, I was thinking about things
I stayed awake until morning but
I slipped out of bed anyway
a cheap lampshade and
an old movie poster
and Tibet tea and
cut, white flowers and
an Afghan coat
I haggled and got a good deal
when I have a lover
I am in love but...
even if I don't have a lover
it's no big deal
and then on the way back
from Saturday afternoon shopping
following behind me
a small dog, a funny dog
this dog who followed me, barking as it does
even if I don't have a lover
it's no big deal
but even if I don't have a lover
I am in love...

Translator's introduction:
";shiritori"; is a japanese game. the first player says a word, the second player must say a word beginning with the last character (syllable) of the first player's word, the third player must say a word beginning with the last character of the second player's word... and so on. the players are not supposed to say the same word twice.
this track consists of two shiritori matches: the first one features maki-chan and the two kids from ugo-ugo lhuga. the second one features other characters from the programme.
ugo-ugo lhuga was a programme for kids, now discontinued. it had a cutting edge quality to it that assured it became a legend among kids and adults who watched it. it often featured very surrealistic sketches. some of the crazyness of the programme was immortalised in this pizzicato album, especially this track, shiritori shimasho.
(Editor's Note: Although theoretically for kids, the show's title is the phrase ";Go-Go-u Ga--Ru"; pronounced backwards, a ";go go girl"; being slang for the kind of party-all-night young lady so often sung about in P5 songs. This was a hint that the show was also aimed at the hip young party-goer returning home at the break of dawn, having just caught the first train out of Tokyo. The animated title sequence, indeed, featured a Godzilla-size party girl rampaging through the streets, only to be felled by three young boy superheroes. Other signs of the show's hipness: background posters featuring such bands as Big Drill Car, and others.)
it was very difficult to translate this track because a lot of the humour and irony of the original just wouldn't work in english. after i had finished the translation and re-read it, i realised it sort of reminded me of the tea party with the mad hatter from alice in wonderland (and i certainly used much of its language as a model for the translation, unconsciously) -- all those people playing this game in a completely subversive manner, going really crazy about it, but acting as if everything had strict rules which should be properly observed. the dialogue is absurd, but everybody is so serious about what they are doing one forgets they are not actually making any sense.
my favourite line is 'oyamada keigo? otona? hito?'
hope you like it

and now the dream team
shuuru-kun (*)
tomato-chan
and terebi-kun
will play
shiritori for grownups!
i will say
the first
word
and then
tomato-chan
and shuuru-kun
in this order
ok!
oyamada keigo (cornelius)
cornelius? what's that?
a grownup?
a grownup. precisely.
you mean like a person?
a person yes.
this is
beside the point.
we're trying to play
some shiritori here.
ok so go.
gogo no yugure (twilight in the afternoon)
oh that's so lovely!
really lovely.
he he he.
remon tii chodai
(could i have some lemon tea?)
i gather
you are quite fond of
of lemon tea
you could say i am yes.
chodai ends with an i
so
ikuko-chan ga hai (ikuko-chan is...)
ikuko-chan is an
acquaintance
of mine.
she's very cute.
i?
inu no mawari-san no koinu
(the puppy that belongs to
the policeman with a dog)
nu
you don't mean
he actually has one?
he does too.
nu?
this is supposed to be a shiritori
strictly for grownups right?
yep.
this is strictly
for grownups.
ok so nu it is.
nureteru ne (it's so wet!)
this is just
a general remark.
i don't mean anything by that.
it's just... for the atmosphere.
yeah i know. the atmosphere.
it's so wet!
this is
a shiritori
strictly for grownups.
i wonder what he meant by wet!
ne kotchi e kite
(hey you come over here)
this is a shiritori
for grownups.
me too
i can also say
this sort of thing.
i'm next?
te?
ten... don...
tabeta o-hiru
(did you have fish and chips for lunch?)
ta...
tamaru misuzu (a person's name)
i wonder if this utterance
complies with the rules of the game.
fish and chips?
for lunch?
oh i'm so sorry! it's not ta! tis ru
ru... (sings) ru ru ru ru...
singing is not allowed!
it isn't now is it.
well... ok... ruubii (ruby).
you mean
you have bought
a lot of them
of late?
it's my lucky stone.
ruby ends with
a bii.
biizu no tsuita
jaketo mo
suteki kamoshirenai!
(i wonder what a jacket
with beads
would do for me)
no! not i again!
i just said that because
this is a shiritori for grownups.
well my answer goes almost without saying.
inu no mawari-san no otona no shiritori!
(the shiritori strictly for grownups
being played by the policeman with a dog)

on the old radio
I'm gonna live somewhere
you don't know
I'm gonna leave right away,
with just one trunk
driving fast for
two days and two nights
having just a sandwich
for lunch
I'm gonna live somewhere
you don't know
If I can really
get a long vacation
let me leave right away,
all by myself
anyway, driving fast
somewhere
just like rock n' roll
on the old radio
I'm gonna live with
someone you don't know

keitaro: well, today
as usual we have
a special guest.
a wonderful guest
has agreed to come here today.
he's an artist.
the pictures you saw
on the screen
before are his.
please a big applause
to a great poet
and a great photographer
ladies and gentlemen, mr genqui numata.
numata: hi, y'all.
my name is genqui numata.
tonight i will
read
a poem.
i dedicate this poem
to pizzicato five.
to a person descending a staircase.
hey you, who are descending this staircase
with sweat on your brow
afraid of going down you let your gaze
glide down the stairs like a shadow.
yes, you.
this underpass in springtime smells of dust
and a lukewarm breeze blows by.
keep up your rhythm
keep up your rhythm
and climb down those stairs
as if your life depended on that.
pass by that leaning building
kick the dogs away
kick the cats too
and go fast to the ticket counter.
legs
are sometimes
independent beings.
keep up your rhythm
keep up your rhythm
and when you can't take it anymore
when your body
and your legs have reached their limit
at that time
a soft fall will ensue.
you feel as if
your legs fell off your body
or maybe there's a pause
like a heart attack
but you don't know what it is.
you don't
know.
you gradually
gather up speed
and as you speed up your legs
and your trembling lips start to resonate.
the fall comes at the last moment
and makes it easier.
and you ask yourself
who are we?
who am i
after al?
your joints squeak
am i nothing but
a crawling work of art?
am i nothing but
a voice sounding away
accross this sky
so blue it looks like it's been dyed?
am i nothing but
the speed of
this fall through thin air?
shadow that melts away
voice that dies away
voice from the subway
keep up your rhythm
keep up your rhythm
with grace
with flair
hey you, legs,
hey you, my distant legs
let's go on a stroll
as the silent time goes by
the city silently
opens itself.
goodbye.
(Konishi)

your whole body

to awaken
your sexuality

your requests
with an open mind

relaxation

and linger on

a long
time
I am
your partner
I will
be coming back
soon

on a winding stairway

the bluebird sings of love

lovers swear
lay a garland

our love's eternal

we prayed
that star is aquarius
love and peace forever
on the escalator to heaven
chasing the bluebird
let's promise to love for 2000 years
lovers swear
you lay a bead
necklace around me
our love eternal
in the lake
we are naked
hold me, aquarius
love and peace forever
eternal children
dreaming mushrooms
eternal lovers
in our bedroom in the air
turning backwards
the merry-go-round
our love forever
a mysterious fragrance
envelops us
that man is aquarius
love and peace forever
awakin' from a dream
I feel like crying
the bluebird will disappear
beyond time
2000 light years
lovers swear
lay a garland

our love's eternal

My name is Jack Dempsey
And I'm not very tall
I am forever deck washing
I live as a G.I.
My name is Jack, I like very much
Greta Garbo's picture in a bathing suit
We all love Jack, we are sailors
The name of our boat is
Shirley Temple
Then one day came the devil sergeant
While he was drunk he swore like a flute
He threw her photo up to the blue sky
What's more, he hit me on the head
with the deck brush
My name is Jack, my important mascot
Greta Garbo's picture in a bathing suit
We all love Jack, we like very much
the Greta Garbo that now floats on the waves
I wonder if she'll make it to Hollywood
Day after day, all I see is the sea
I climb the mast, from morning to
night I'm depressed
Joyful buddies Laurel & Hardy
Say with amazement
";Be skillful like Errol Flynn";
My name is Jack, I have no luck
From today I'm deck boxing from dawn to dusk
We all love Jack, we like very much
Greta Garbo and that one called Jack
My name is Jack, I wanna live in the back
Of the Greta Garbo's home

why is the world so sad
i have a stomachache again

why are you so cold of late
can we talk about this some other time
why am i so sad

i always remember
you were so young
i wasn't so tired
we dreamt together
it's true that

could you spare me some money

tomorrow is impossible

and our love seems
to be at an end
don't you know of
any good men?
I hate this song

good evening everybody
tonight's party is
dj konishi yasuharu's
thank you
for dropping by
the name of the party is
darling of discotheque
let's dance
till the break of dawn
thank you very much
can you hear it?
can you hear it?
can you hear it?
all this noise
can you feel it in your stomach
the sound of the bass
can you feel it in your stomach
it feels good
wherever you go
there's music
this city is brimming with it
my favourite
music
wraps you up
completely
i cannot
hear your voice
come closer
if you want to talk to me
at full volume
at full volume
whispering
words of love
wherever you go
there's music
this country
is brimming with it
my favourite
music
changes you
completely
wow wow
wherever you go
there's music
this world
is brimming with it
my favourite
music
is noisy
and funky
my favourite
music
will change
this world
one day
it will change it
(it is ridiculous to think
that music will change
the world -- it's impossible)
can you hear it?
can you hear it?
can you hear it?
all this noise
at full volume
all night
it will wrap up
your body
and take you
to heaven

our eyes met
someone i don't know
but it's strange
my heart beats fast
i said hello
to strike a conversation
our eyes met
i smiled
(and blushed)
our eyes met
someone i don't know
but it's strange
i fell in love
it's this way with everybody
when you meet mr right
you know it right away
our eyes met
my heart beats fast
i fall in love
gathered all my courage
struck a conversation
that's my chance now
struck a conversation
our eyes met
i blushed
and couldn't
see anything
boys and
girls
will meet today
when i become a grown-up
i'm sure i'll meet
someone really nice
our eyes met
we fell in love
just whistling
and breathing
boys and
girls
will fall in love today
when i grow up
we will surely
fall in love
our eyes met
a nice guy
our hearts beat fast
what I've been looking for
gathered all my courage
struck a conversation
we fell in love
it's this way with everybody
when you meet mr right
you know it right away
our eyes met
my heart beats fast
i fall in love

m: pizzicato five's ugo-ugo lhuga
r: hello mademoiselle
m: hello
r: how do you do
m: how do you do
r: i'm fine thank you
so... what if we tried to
pretend this is a french class
and translated all the songs
titles to french?
m: let's do it!
r: ok so... the first song is
";the night is still young";
(seven pm in tokyo)
m: you got it
r: so in french you should say...
";il est sept heures de nuit
a tokyo";
m: il est sept heures... euh..
a tokyo...
r: sept heures de nuit
m: sept heures euh..
nuit
r: that's it! ";de nuit"; means
";night"; in english
m: mmm
r: sept heures de nuit
a tokyo
m: it means ";yoru"; in japanese,
right?
r: precisely!
repeat after me...
il est sept heures de nuit
a tokyo
m: il est sept heures euh...
nuit a tokyo
r: exactly!
very good mademoiselle
wonderful!
okay so...
the second song's
title is...
love love show
m: love love show
r: love love show
*some* title we've got here
m: so how do you say this in
english i mean
japanese i mean
how do you say this in french?
r: this is
amour amour mon amour
m: amour amour mon amour
r: that's it!
and a good translation it is
now let's try to give it
some feeling
mon amour
m: mon amour
r: that's it.
try to think of
a godard film
mon amour mademoiselle
mon amour
m: mon amour
r: that's it very good!
ok now
the third song
is called shiritori
m: yes...
r: the french don't have
an equivalent to
our shiritori
so we'll have to stick to
the japanese word
shi-ri-to-ri
m: shi-ri-to-ri
r: yeah...
all you have to do is
say ";ri"; with a french accent
and it sounds
like french...
that's what's good about
french
shiritori
m: shiritori
r: for instance let's try to
apply the rule
say ";yakitori";
m: yakitori
r: that's it
if you pronounce
yakitori that way
it sounds like
you're a french chick
eating
yakitori
ok so
what's the next song?
m: the next song
is called
do re mi
r: do re mi
so dore mi it is
ok so
shall we try to
pronounce this
with a french flair
to it?
m: ok
r: for instance ";do"; goes ";du";
m: du
r: du re mi
m: du re mi
r: for example you
might try to
sing it
do re mi
m: du re mi
r: du re mi
m: du re mi
r: du re mi
m: do re mi
r: that's it
ok so
the fourth
what's the fourth
song?
it is...
m: the next song is... mmm...
me japanese boy
r: me japanese boy
yes it's
me japanese boy
this in french
would be something like
moi garcon japonais
m: moi garcon japonais
r: that's it!
in french
there's a special way women talk
in french
women go like
really cute
";moi";
m: moi
r: exactly!
the mouth a little up
wa! wa!
m: moi
r: you got it!
moi garcon...
m: moi garcon...
r: there you go!
garcon like in
comme des garcons
moi garcon japonais
m: moi garcon japonais
r: mademoiselle!
that was tres bien
such a good student
m: thank you very much
r: i mean it!
ok let's see the last song
the last song
what's it called?
m: let's be adult
r: classy title!
and in french you say
sois sage (behave, act your age)
m: sois sage
r: sois sage
m: sois sage
r: soyez sage
m: sois sage
r: soyez, soyez
soyez sage
let's be adult
sois sage
let's be adult
this is
a french imperative
get adult
become an adult
that's the meaning
m: i see
r: mademoiselle nomiya
are you an adult?
m: i suppose i am
r: yeah me too
so what do you think
about later...

even though I'm in love
for no reason,
something
feels blue
even though it's a
happy summer afternoon
everything seems terribly blue
let's drive off
together
and leave behind this sleepy town
because I'm turning up the speed
right away
give me a kiss
let's get away
right away
just you and I
from this boring world
the night is starting
a night without a god
it's not your fault
for no reason,
I'm
always blue
let's drive
just a little more
we'll pass through shooting stars
all night long
because I'm turning up the speed
right away
give me a kiss
when I stop the car
in all the world
it's just you and I
there's nobody else
blow away the sadness
we'll turn up the speed
right away

Always,
You're absorbed in music,
You seem so happy, huh?
All day long
Inside your head
That's all there is, huh?
Always,
You're absorbed in fashion,
Looking childish
All day long
In front of the mirror
Posing
Well, I guess it's okay
That it's that way.
Even if I think
of other important things
it's nothing
Let's be adult
Let's be adult
Let's be adult
Hey, let's be adult!
Always,
You're absorbed in work,
You poor thing
All day long
You keep working
You're so cranky
Always,
You're absorbed with your sweetheart,
You want her but can't have her
All day long
Inside your head,
That's all there is, huh?
Well, I guess it's okay
That it's that way.
Even if I think
of other important things
it's nothing
Let's be adult
Let's be adult
Let's be adult
Hey, let's be adult!

Shopping shopping king!
Shopping shopping king!
Let's meet at the store of dreams
Let's shop shrewdly
Let's answer frankly
Shopping shopping king!
Shopping shopping king!
It's a dream to grab everything
Let's shop shrewdly
Let's answer frankly
Things you want, things bought fast
Expensive things, today's things
All the things you'll ever want
Shopping shopping king!
Shopping shopping king!
Let's meet at the store of dreams
Let's shop shrewdly
Let's answer frankly
couples don't always have time
i wanna meet you
but we are always passing through by other
even when we can meet
for a very short time somewhere
i can't really tell you
the words i wanted to say
on the phone always the word
i want to say tends to be cut off
it takes all my attention to catch the words
that are almost vanishing the air
i feel happy just hearing
the simple words
that you say
it's a symphony for lovers
time is passing by
the people running around
i can hear from somewhere
music that i was almost forgetting
two of us
paying all our attention to listen
words that lovers whisper to each other
music that somebody is humming
somewhere in town
the everything mingled together
and something comes alive
it's a symphony for lovers

when the angels smile
love begins
as the angels smile
love is alright
it will be alright
this morning
just before I woke up
I had this short dream
I can't remember it
very well just in flashes
those angels whispered
whispered in my ears
wondrous love words
I thought I knew from somewhere
it is a bright
morning
just like all the others but
I sort of feel different
for no apparent reason
I'm just happy
it's like today
is the day
to begin a new love
when the angels smile etc
love begins
when the angels smile
love is alright
it will be alright
this strange hunch
in the new morning
this wonderful hunch
as the phone rings
I can tell from the sound
it is you
some strange news
you whisper
in my ear
wonderful love words
I'd been waiting for
in the looking-glass
I'm putting on
this brand-new
shirt
I don't know why
I like myself today
more than usual
it's like
the first day of
a new
season
when the angels smile
a new love begins
as the angels kiss
two people make love
the camera goes on
a strange hunch
in a new morning
a wonderful hunch
in the light
I'm hugging
myself
today
don't know why
I feel like crying
it's just like
the beginning of
a new love today
like that dream
I once saw is now
becoming reality
when the angels smile etc
love begins
when the angels smile
love is alright
it will be alright
on this new morning
a strange hunch
a wonderful hunch
a new love

i kiss
your soft skin
the soft skin of
your chest and
our love affair
our love triangle
begins
you, beautiful you
and the two of us
we love each other
love
is triangular
sinful

pleasures (**)
they make you shiver
i got too
carried away
the lewd

on your back
he made them
love

sinful

pleasures
they make you dizzy
i like it
when it hurts too
whisper softly
whisper me lies
my earlobes
are burning
freeze them
sinful
and sweet
pleasures
they take away your hopes
i love you so much
i don't want to see you again
they make you
shiver
and dizzy
shiver

it's strange but
last night for the first time
i understood
ooh yeah babe
i love you
all of a sudden
i realised
i told myself
(swollen eyes when i woke up
staring from the looking glass)
ooh yeah baby
everything is going
to be perfect today
ooh baby
yeah baby
i'm going to confess
my love for you today
we've always been
the best of friends
the two of us act as if we were
friends or siblings
childhood friends as it were
take yesterday for instance
we were together
and as usual
we fooled around like mad
just like
kids
as i was
brushing me teeth
as i always do
after midnight
it suddenly came to me
i suddenly
understood it all
that i
love you
it's strange but
last night
i fell in love
ooh yeah baby
today
is my
lucky day
i'll take my time
get all dressed up
gather all my strength and
ooh yeah baby
i'm sure that today
ooh baby
i'll say it right
yeah baby
i'll tell you
about
my love
i'll be thorough
i'll be serious
i'll pull the right face
but i'm sure
that i'll feel embarrassed
and burst out laughing
because it's so
unbelievable
you must
have felt
and thought
the same
about us
haven't you?
tell me the truth --
you've known for a long time
we were bound
to be together
we've been
such good friends that
being lovers
won't be
easy
let me be frank
i feel embarrassed
suppose we'll have to
make a bit of an effort
hey hey
it feels strange
today for the first time
i understood
ooh yeah baby
i love you
all of a sudden
i realised
i'll cast a spell
and in the end
have my wish come true
ooh yeah baby
when we get together
ooh baby
i'll speak my mind
yeah baby
i'll find a way
to say what i have to say
my love for you

Hi, this is your airline hostess Susan Kelly
Speaking to you direct from our new

So when you fly

Your trip from New York to San Francisco
Will be one of the greatest frights
You've ever had!
Here is a bulletin from our news room.
An Eastern Airlines plane with seventy-eight aboard
Has been reported hijacked and is on its way to Havana.

o emerson ¨¦ o seguinte
ele ele pra fazer as coisas
ele ¨¦ muito meticuloso sabe
ele tem que fazer tudo
daquele jeito tão lerdo
ele ¨¦ muito lento
mas eu sempre disse
que ele foi r¨¢pido
em duas coisas:
corrida e em casar
então ele chegou l¨¢
ele tava todo assim
sabe sem jeito
sabe como um menininho
que quer uma coisa
mas t¨¢ t¨¢ em d¨²vida
a¨ª ele chegou l¨¢
tava conversando
que lindo dia
assim era noite sabe
aquelas coisas bobas
e tava aquela
paquera mesmo
a¨ª ele falou pra mim
olha voc¨º quer sair
pra jantar comigo
hoje ¨¤ noite
eu não a¨ª eu disse não
que assim pra sair
com qualquer pessoa assim
tambem não d¨¢
a¨ª eu disse pra ele não
num d¨¢ a¨ª
eu tô atrasada hoje ¨¤ noite
eu acho que vou chegar
mais ou menos ¨¤ uma hora
duas horas da manhã
não tem problema eu espero
eu falei t¨¢ bom
ele não vai esperar
ate ¨¤s duas da manhã
at¨¦ eu exagerei
da¨ª eu disse
não não sabe duma coisa
eu acho at¨¦ que
eu vou chegar
as tr¨ºs da manhã
não dava pra sair
a¨ª ele disse t¨¢ bom
da¨ª eu desço do avião
não tinha ningu¨¦m
s¨® o emerson
com uma cara de sono...
mas l¨¢!
umas duas e meia da manhã
coitado do emerson...
a¨ª n¨®s fomos jantar
uma coisa
que me impressionou
nunca vou esquecer
daquele dia
¨¦ que o emerson
não sabe estacionar
o carro
para ele estacionar
um carrinho
num espaço enorme
ele leva tr¨ºs meses
e vai e volta
a¨ª eu disse
como? voc¨º acabou
de ganhar um campeonato
de f¨®rmula um
e voc¨º não sabe
estacionar o carro
que rid¨ªculo!
a¨ª quebrou o gelo

this recording
is a collection of
unintended indiscretions
before microphone and camera
the problem with emerson is
that he has to do things his way
and he's very meticulous
he has to do everything
in his slow way
he's very slow
but i always say that
he did two things really quick
in his life:
winning races and getting married.
so, he came up and
he looked so
you know, embarrassed
you know like a kid
like a little kid who
wants something but is too shy to ask
so he came and
we chatted for a while
'lovely day isn't it' sort of
(only it was night by then)
you know the sort of
moronic things you say when
you're coming up to someone
and then he asked
'say, would you like
to go out and have dinner with me?
tonight?'
i said no
i'm not the sort of girl
who goes out with
strangers
i said, i can't
i'm sorry i can't
i'm running late tonight and
i think i'm gonna get
back home after one o'clock
maybe after two
'that's no problem i can wait'
i said okey dokey
i reckoned he wasn't gonna wait
for me till two in the morning
i even exaggerated
i sort of you know
i kinda lied
'i think i'm gonna be back
kinda you know
sorta after three you know'
nobody goes out for dinner at three!
but he was impervious
and then the moment i got off the plane
the first thing i saw
was emerson, all by himself
he looked so sleepy!
but he was there alright
it was two thirty in the morning
poor emerson
so we went out for dinner
something that really
surprised me
i'll never forget that day
because
the fact is that emerson
can't park
a car!
it takes him
three months
to park a small car
into this huge space
he goes back and forth
then i said
what! you mean
you just won
a formula one championship
and you can't park
a car!
that's ridiculous!
and that broke the ice

konishi: ok so, miss nomiya...
maki-chan: well we finished
the photo session. it went fine.
but you
didn't show up!
k: oops, sorry... it's that i...
m: actually...
it was *something*, you know!
k: so i've heard!
m: i had these butterfly
wings attached to my back...
how to explain?
i had to lie down
on the floor...
that was tricky
i had a hard time.
k: i'm sorry! i always make
you do hard things.
m: but the make-up
had this butterfly
motif...
like the glittering
of a butterfly's wings
i had this butterfly
make-up.
and my wig!
green hair...
it was my first time
with green hair...
it looked quite
good...
i thought it worked
pretty well...
k: oh! i want to see this!
really?
m: yes... when i heard
they were making me wings...
i got very worried.
what is it gonna be
like this time and stuff...
but when i saw them
on the photo session day
i thought they looked
beautiful.
the wings were beautiful.
k: i hear
you used
real butterflies too?
m: real ones too.
k: how did you manage?
m: they had them shipped
from okinawa or something.
k: butterflies
they caught there.
m: yes! and they
kept flying away
during the shooting!
we had a hard time...
but it was interesting...
and then...
they had some
butterflies
land on my feet.
and we took pictures.
but they had to spread
some water with sugar on
my feet to take this one.
you know like
working with animals
or rather insects
can be really difficult.
k: i'm sure it must
look really good.
m: i thought
it looked great.
k: it was quite
a long session wasn't it?
i remember you say
that your body
hurt all over...
m: that's right!
i got muscle pains!

i've got this call from...
the vocalist of pizzicato five...
nomiya maki-chan!
hello maki?
hello!
maki is that you?
yeees tis me!
maki! long time no see!
hi! maki here!
long time no see!
would you tell us
where you're calling from?
mmm yes mmm i am mmm
i'm in osaka now!
i'll be on this live programme
on telly
they'll start shooting
in half an hour! i'm backstage!
is that a fact?
tis too!
i presume you're wearing
your costume and stuff
you bet! wearing my costume and
made up to the nines i am!
gosh i love the way
you wear your make up
thank you!
i mean no one ELSE
wears that make up!
you're right i suppose...
by the way...
maki...
yeeees?
your latest single... what was
it again...baby portable rock...
what about it?
it's incredible!
the number of requests we've had!
you don't say!
i do and i do! i mean INCREDIBLE!
thank you so much.
so what sort of response
are you getting?
you wouldn't believe it!
it's our first time on the hit charts
and we are one of the top ten!
that much even i know.
well it's our first time
so we're all very
excited about it...
mmm. correct me if i'm wrong.
last week you were
number two on ori concerto?
yes tis true.
thank you so much
thank you all!
isn't it
amazing?
i suppose so.
amazing!
hey maki!
yeeees?
this baby portable rock...
yes.
even in our programme...
yes?
twas number two last week.
really? thank you so much.
really! and...
if it keeps its pace...
yes?
it will climb to the top of the chart
today!
i would be delighted
if it did.
yep.
yeah.
would you
greet our listeners
send them
a big hello
from osaka?
certainly!
how do you do!
i'm miss nomiya maki!
thank you so much
for your requests of
baby portable rock!
please keep
supporting us!
maki-chan!
i can hear you!
this is just
a personal opinion but...
yes.
it feels like the good
ol' times of pink lady!
(laughs)
it feels like the candies
got back together!
really!
this is the feeling i get
from the response of
our listeners!
is that so.
(laughs)
well at least in our programme.
tis fantastic!
i'm so happy.
soooooo happy.
where's
your partner?
my partner? konishi you mean?
konishi is...
well he is...
i bet he's out for some food.
oh yes precisely.
he went out
to have something to eat.
this is what he's doing. (**)
all the nerve!
30 minutes before you're on air
and this bloke leaves you there alone!
that bloke
is such a character!
i suppose he is. (***)
let's talk about you.
you have -- how to put it?
such a special face (****)
but i would really like to know
who is the real nomiya maki?
what kind of person is she?
(laughs)
the real nomiya maki?
now the real nomiya maki...
she is... well...
she is not half
the vamp (in her private moments)
she seems to be
when she's all made up
and dressed up to the nines
the way she is
when she's the pizzicato vocalist.
when one talks to you
on the phone like this
tis easy to spot
the discrepancy.
what you just said is so true.
now to shift subjects
i've heard
through the grapevine
that pizzicato is trying
to conquer the world
that's what i heard.
now is this true?
well actually...
we've been doing
a lot of work abroad.
maybe since last year?
we've been doing a lot of stuff
we've been planning a lot of stuff
we've been doing all sorts of things.
what i mean is
if pizzicato
becomes worldwide famous
it will have
a very positive influence
on the japanese
musical scene as a whole.
we all have
great expectations
towards you.
we'll try
to do our best.
please do.
well you've only got
25 minutes left apparently!
yep.
i'm sorry to have
called you when you're so busy.
ah it's alright.
well
anyway
anyway...
let's wait and see
if you climb up
to the top of the chart
this week!
so let's go!
thank you maki!
thank you
so much!
bye!
ok so now
baby portable rock
pizzicato five!
thank you
so much.
before we part
please listen
to our latest
song!
tis called
baby portable rock!
translator's notes
(*) orikon is the abbreviation of ORIGINAL CONFIDENCE (what is this supposed to mean? japlish at its best at any rate). orikon is a company that rates jpops every week (including kayokyoku and enka) based on sales and radio requests. to the young generation it feels like orikon has existed forever, and it has an old-fashioned reputation to it because it includes enka (japanese 'country music') in its ratings.
(**) the way these sentences are phrased and spoken gives the listener a clear feeling that maki-chan is lying, and not very happy about it
(***) here she's trying to sound cheerful but actually sounds desperate
(****) this may come as a shock to all western fans, but the japanese don't think maki-chan is beautiful. she's too different from your standard japanese beauty -- people think she has a 'funny face'. go figure

you're so quiet

you're the type who'd be happy
hearing that
loving tv like a kid
loving games like a kid
telling lies like a kid
suddenly crying like a kid
that's fine as it is

making a living
doing what you like
appearing on tv
appearing in magazines
releasing records
becoming famous
If you can make living on playing
that's fine as it is
If you make it to the airplane,
that's fine as it is
that's fine as it is
putting on kids clothes
needing attention like a kid
wasting money like a kid
loving to take things apart like a kid
always being pampered
by someone
always loving to
play loud with someone
pushing the accelerator
and speeding up
making a mess
of your hotel room
that's fine as it is,
somehow everyday
you make a living
walking a tightrope
appearing on tv,
appearing in magazines
becoming rich
being in scandals
If you can make a living by playing,
that's fine as it is
If you show up to the party,
that's fine as it is
If you're paying taxes,
that's fine as is
If you make it to the airplane,
that's fine as is

throw some blue love
it's like action painting
dash yourself against the canvas
it's very action painting
an inimitable
style
beautiful art
nobody will buy
your work
well if it's upside down
i might buy it
a scarlet heart bursts
extremely action painting
what you're gonna name it?
action painting what else?
inimitable
style
wonderful art
nobody
will understand it
very action
veritably action painting
somewhat action painting
extremely positive action painting
dive into a pink pool
painfully action painting
purple paint blots the pool
voila! action painting
inimitable
style
marvellous art
art that
nobody will buy
well if you turn it upside down
i might buy it
a scarlet heart bursts
it's so action painting
what are you gonna name it?

veritably action painting
somewhat action painting

we live in
a room with a view
we make love at
a room with a view
we found ourselves
a room with a view
we're bound to start
a happy life with love
if you open the window
the world starts to move
but in this room
we're alone
just the two of us
forever just the two of us
forever just the two of us
we live in
a room with a view
taylor-made clothes and
great interior design
a puppy and a television
and a big fridge
outside our window
in the world out there
there does not seem to be
any good news
but today again
just the two of us
forever just the two of us
forever just the two of us
if you open the window
and cry out loud
to the entire world
just the two of us
forever just the two of us
we live in
a room with a view
'happily ever after'
sounds really boring
a room with a view
