Dai-chan!
Um, this is my first experience in the spotlight, so…
I am nervous
Itou Daisuke
You’re good!
You’re cool!
Welcome home!
Iku-chan!
Harada Ikuko
Ikuko!!
Mito
Mito!!
En.
Amazing
I couldn’t even imagine
4-0-9 seems good…
The floor is like…
Resonating? I think it’s because this thing is on the floor
Yeah, that’s nice
I think so. This thing is ringing. The room is ringing.
Yeah, this place rings
Oh, oh…
Hot, hot…
What’s in it? Oh, there’s a lot in it.
It’s been a while.
There’s paprika… Did I get any eggplant? There’s some.
It’s way shocking. It’s really shocking.
It’s really super shocking.
Terrifying!
This week, I’ve been focusing on this, though I did have other things to do too…
I think, what have I been doing with my time? That’s how the end of August has been.
Isn’t it always so chaotic right before and right after coming here to Kobuchizawa?
You’ve got to finish everything. Yeah, you have to finish it all, or else…
The way it feels in Tokyo and the way it feels here…
You can hear it. That sound I’m looking for… It’s different.
Whoa!!
Boom!
Wow, it’s miso!
In Tokyo, we eat pretty good stuff too…
…But this is the best!
It’s good~
Otsukaresama desu~ (good work, everyone)
So, what kind of tour…
It’s not a tour, it’s…
Oh, right, it’s two days, with an acoustic, unplugged…
Right, the 16th and the 17th. The 16th is unplugged.
So… it’s rehearsal for that.
Whatever…
In the morning, we’ll have a bite to eat…
Ah, understood
And lunch…
Well, I’m quite… I think…
Natsumi-san’s passion and energy will…
That energy will intensify our work!
Whip it up! Make us want to work hard!
I want to work hard!
I’m sorry, which cooking manga is this scene from?
The only sunset we’re going to get is toward the end of the first day
I think that nice moment is when we should do “Lullabye”
But it should be a special arrangement that you can only hear on that one day
What should we do…?
I’m imagining arpeggios in a fine, lacelike pattern, and everybody is contributing
Yeah… What could we do…?
“Chicago”?
What chord do we always do here?
E♭?
Ahh, whoops!
And you’re drooling on yourself
Sorry, sorry, that’s terrib— and you’re filming it
We’re so cool. Aren’t we cool? Ha ha ha…
So, how many years have we been in this band?
I won’t say any more, that’s not what I meant, I’ll just start saying nonsense
There, it’s swelling up, that pitch-black thing
There, it’s withering away, that pure-white thing
I was keeping it, just in a dream
Now and then we could meet… This is no dream, you know!
Don’t come out, I won’t play with you
Don’t come out, I won’t go back there again
Mm, slyly hiding deep behind my eyelids
Showing up in the early afternoon
Everyone, let me hear your voices!
I won’t say any more, that’s not what I meant, I’ll just start saying nonsense
Ah, what should I say? That’s not what I meant, I’ll just start saying anything
All over, everything, you are following
All over, smiling, trying to invite me
Don’t come out, I won’t play with you
Don’t come out, I can’t go back there again
Even in a dream,
“welcome home”,
Even in a dream,
We’ve still got a long way to go, Yomiuri!
“welcome home”
Don’t trouble me, don’t make fun of me
Not me, don’t tease me
Okay… ready?
Can you hear me? Okay, I can hear it
We’ll start two measures before
I am going,
I don’t want to come back
But I’m going,
from here, to anywhere
…I thought it would be cool for us all to be here…
So… we can do it. It’s going to work.
This is going to be fun
There’s a lot of range, but I think we can make something really subtle
I want each of us to have a 7-beat, 5-beat, or 3-beat phrase, gradually diverging…
They’re short here, so they sound like a xylophone…
You can hear as they get shorter, right?
It’s good to have the attack, but if there’s too much it’s like, “bang”
let’s be reborn and meet again
Let’s go with that
La lu lei, la lu lei yo
Good time music, satisfy me
When I’m lonely, I can hear your voice;
If I call you, will you come flying to me
No big deal, no big deal
That was quite a face you made there
I didn’t think I would stop
Dai-chan is famous for never stopping
There was a tough spot before that, but as soon as I thought we were past it…
Fight fight fight…
If we mess up, should we stop?
Sorry, but I can’t. I don’t think I can.
I have absolutely no idea what’s going on. What is this song?
What is this? Who made this thing?
Let’s climb up to some high place,
some perfect, high, high place
If we do,
We might be able to see our future
The moment we let go of each other’s hand
our burdens grow heavy
We’re trying to play seriously here
If we could just always be together like that time…
Each night we sleep apart
Makes the two of us a little bit stronger
If we get a little bit stronger…
Let’s crawl into some deep place
Some pitch-dark, deep, deep place
If we do, we might be able to know the truth
I wave my hand, “see you next time”
Until you’re out of sight
If we could just always be together like that time…
Each night we sleep apart
Makes the two of us a little bit stronger
If we get a little bit stronger…
Ohh, that smells good!
Planning time
But if we play it casual, it’ll end up casual
Right, it should be like, “bang”
Then we should go with “Tiny”
The lyric “what’s keeping me from sleep…” is about one person’s world
But “somehow you and I have walked this far” is more of an opening-up
Then the order should be “Tiny”, “Aspen”, “Lullabye”, “Vital”
“Tiny”… “Aspen”… “Lullabye”… “Vital”
’cos…
“Tiny” aside, “Aspen” has “what’s keeping me from sleep”, then “Lullabye” has “I am going”,
“Vital” seems appropriate, lyrically speaking…
I actually thought we might do “id” at the very end, that could work
That could work, I thought so too
That seems really good
Oh, are we going to do the organ?
Yes
Yeah, the organ, that’ll be so cool
That’ll work. Let’s do this one.
I bow my head vigorously
The time that had stopped gently begins to move
I place my closed heart upon it
So anyway— hey, that’s funny!
That’s how you trigger it?
If I put it on my feet I wouldn’t be able to walk
You’d have to walk just like this!
All right! Ready.
Time to call the others
Food!
It’ll only take 10 minutes, should we do it now?
Oh, no way, I have to wait?
Good!
Let’s turn that down… there… there…
I’ll turn it down just a little more… there…
That’s stupidly pretty
I’m… I’m…!!
I am going
I don’t want to come back
But I’m going
From here, to anywhere
I’ve got to go alone
I’ve got to be alone
I met you below the round sky
I don’t want to be apart from you, ever again
Smiling with you
becoming a round umbrella
I can’t be apart from you
But I’m going
Intertwining, so many melodies
Don’t stop ringing, a lullabye for you
I send to you, a farewell
I am going
I made it this far
I am going
From here, to anywhere
To the other side of the shadows
To the other side of the future
Let’s be reborn and meet again
Intertwining, so many melodies
Leaving behind, a lullabye for you
I send to you, a farewell
Your town grows farther and farther away
That we could meet here, I thank you
Intertwining, new melodies
Leaving behind a lullabye for you
I send to you, a farewell
Because you are here
Because you are here for me…
When eye meets eye, right away
Merry go round! Go! Merry go round!
With that movement you make
Merry go round! Go! Merry go round!
Bit by bit is enough…
Where could we be going?
Slightly cloudy, the ends of the sky
Our journeys continue on their own ways
Searching for something to depend on
There are things that don’t go as planned
But even so, ah, here I am
It’s all right
It’ll be all right
The light in the palm of your hand
The light in the palm of your hand, see
Do I need to do this part?
Beyond that cloud, and then still beyond
If you’re going to complain that something’s wrong
Then out of those new headphones you’re so proud of…
The gushing sound, the soaking sound
Let it push your back and go out to town
Try smiling, try walking
From the right and from the left, the “surround” that you’ve invited
Let’s ride on an upward current
You and I we can go anywhere
Surely
This is all there is, if you found it
From the coiled-cord headphones
The gushing sound, the soaking sound
Straighten your spine and go into town
Try st— try starting, try walking
from the right and from the left, the “surround” that you’ve invited
Let’s ride on an upward current
You and I we can meet anyone
Surely
Sing a song you just learned
As you repeat it, as you continue
“Open your ears, open them carefully,
With my right hand I’ll take your left hand”
Try smiling, try walking
from the right and from the left, the “surround” that I’ve invited
Let’s ride on an upward current
You and I we can go anywhere
Don’t make that difficult face, keep on singing
I will always be with you
Always
…is kind of how I imagined it, is that okay?
Since it’s the intro I thought we should have something that feels like an opening
The whole entire time I had these little goose bumps
Doing this first, right in the middle of all that, will be so great
It’s our first step, so I thought we shouldn’t get too intricate
It’ll be bright out, the sky opens up, it’s like we’re all doing something together
Exactly, exactly
So, wanna do it again?
Yes please
Good!
I feel bad (in a good way)
The soup, the soup never ends
That’s it right there
Fry it up with some butter…
Good!
Hello
Morning!
He appears!
That yellow, that yellow is really… yellow. It’s so yellow.
Thank you for coming to work with us. It’s been a while.
It’s hot
Thank you for coming
Love’s brightness, burning
Love’s light, together
I am opening my arms
High low, anger, remaining
High low, pain, together
Yellow-green, blue-green, deep green, changing
Yellow-green, blue-green, deep green, turning
Deepening color
I am opening my arms
No one really cares
About my losing days
No one really cares
About what you really love
No one really cares
The world you’re trustin’ in
No one really cares
The resolution that you took
No one really cares
As long as you don’t tell it
No one really cares
As long as you don’t confess
I know there are a lot of things you should tell
I know each and every one is your arms
No one really cares
As long as you don’t want it
No one really cares
As long as you don’t get it
And I know there’s a wish you’ll realize
I know each and every one is your arms
So, that’s how… uh…
That’s how the schedule will go, starting September 1, basically… Basically?
That’s it, so we’ll see everyone in two days on the 9th for rehearsal and thanks for your hard work!
Thanks
Otsukaresama! (Good work!)
So then you come around this way, and let’s say you’re here, then you can’t go that way…
Can you run it on batteries?
I can use batteries
But we can’t pick up the sound
Can you use the wireless?
The Wave Drum can be picked up wirelessly
But if you can’t hear it from where you’re playing, then there’s no meaning to it being acoustic
Then you just put a tiny little speaker on and walk around
Then why don’t you put a speaker on your head and follow him around!
Me!? And then I have to move like this…
We’ll call you Amp-kun!
…Soaking in the iridescent light
I found myself humming
An old song
The scenery I walked through
Containing my pounding heart
Toward the someday room
The morning-glory begins to bloom brilliantly
Laughing until red in the face
If we can meet again, what shall we talk about?
Ah, I’ve got no strength
Do you play bass?
Sometimes I do
No you don’t
This is your first time
I will
Do you know how to make it go da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da?
You’d strum down…
Like this the whole time?
Yeah. What’s the tempo?
Yeah, then just down
Wouldn’t it be better if it wasn’t just down?
The other way would be hard to learn starting now
Like this?
Yeah, it’s better than alternating
I can’t really see
Thank you, this is Mito, hello…
Yes… yes… I see
I need to buy a backup bass… um… as backup
Yeah, we’ll see how we feel
We can check with the strings about extra outro time too
They all seem the same, don’t they
To a normal person, on the surface
This one… rings…
It’s superior
With these unreliable steps
I’ll leave behind something certain
Gently, I want to tell you something
So again I try reaching out my hand
Warmth, holding hands
Over and over, running, falling, running again
Over and over, repeating, stopping, thinking a little
I’ll go on to a new season
Because the twilight is softly tapping my shoulder
So that even this tiny breath
Can connect to someone far away
An aroma from long ago
Something I should have forgotten; in a moment,
I remember, it calls me back
My eyes open, and I am shaken
My feeling now, this feeling
I find out what I can’t let go
In the space between uneasiness and uneasiness
Harder to change than anything, a beloved way of life
Gently, I want to tell you something
So again I try reaching out my hand
Warmth lives deep in the heart
Without end, I am still walking
Carving out, vital signs
Bass: Mito!
I went to the trouble of buying a backup bass just for this purpose
And then I go and beat up the backup bass?
Thank you!
The pitch is wrong
It doesn’t matter
What are you going to do if it starts like that?
I dunno
Just down
I want bibuvubaan
I want to pororonpyuu
I even want to ride on a cloud
Let’s use a parasol mushroom to fly in the sky
Ikuko-san’s first bass performance!
For some reason there is no second or third string!
Let’s sing “Sunny” together!
It’s just like they said, your fingers hurt so much you might not be able to play piano
Just like you thought?
That’s no fun
No fun? I’m just worried for you
I can’t write all the “Re-”s
Pretty soon it’ll be all “Re-”
Well, if we make Lover Album 2, then we’re already on Re-Clammbon 3
Then it’ll be like, Re-Re-Re-Re-…
It’s too much, we need to cut it out
Good morning
Somehow you and I have walked this far
Dragging our clumsy words along
We’ve told each other harshly, “that’s wrong”, “that’s not it”
And we showed each other our wounds so as to wound, didn’t we
I suppose it’ll always be that way
The more we trust one another
Fragile kindness frays and comes apart
That’s our pride (We have a tiny pride…)
As we hand out meetings and separations
As we exchange things old and new
“This is me, and that’s you”
We feel the need to draw that line
Afraid of it being taken away, I hid some things from you
You and I still
Can’t trust one another the way we’d like
Yet the warmth we’ve felt thus far
That’s our pride (We have a tiny pride…)
The two of us have one wish
Just to continue walking like this
But as we are always so forgetful
As if to remind ourselves, we hurt one another
What I want isn’t much
To feel the slightest kindness
And a warmth I can remember clearly
I want to be held
I think it sounds fine… Maybe the snare could have more punch
And right here, would it be hard to add a kick? Or would it be better to add later?
Later would be better… I can’t do all that at once.
When we go from B2 to C3…
The hi-hat is wide open, right
If it could be more closed at first, and then open up…
Yeah, it gets faster and leads into the next part…
We didn’t get far enough for me to play it
Oh, well, let’s just go with how it is
What a waste, the piano…
Yeah, but there’s nothing we can do
The keyboard parts weren’t done in time
It’s so frustrating. I wanted to play the piano.
But there’s just no way
If it was twice as slow and then twice as slow again, maybe I could do it
Having you film me right now is…
This may be the first time I’ve had to say, “I’m sorry, I can’t play it”
We usually have time to arrange it
This is probably the first time it’s been on such short notice
I thought about disappearing
Today, I hadn’t slept, and we were at the shop
Matsumi-san said… what time was it… a little before 3:00…
When she said she was coming to pick me up
I thought I’d leave a letter…
“Dear Mito, Daisuke, Hoshino-san, and everyone who has supported Clammbon,”
“I am sorry.”
“Don’t search for me.”
I thought about it
…want to see a miracle?…
We live on the same planet…
Dammit!
It’s way too difficult!
I’m still on the intro
It’s tough
…rough & laugh for you…
We live on the same planet…
…the same planet…
Now…
We will do a new song
It’s a pretty fast tempo even for Clammbon
Um… I am worried whether we can do it right
But we’ll try!
It’s “Rough & Laugh”… The title is “Rough & Laugh”
Please listen
Colorful, parallel, want to see a miracle?
We live on the same planet, we’ll form a ring, form a ring,
We’ll form a great big circle
Hey, come and visit us some time,
Because this is a place where you can lose track of the hours
Your wishes, the things you tell yourself, the things you believe
The lucky charm in your pocket
Bright white fluffy fur,
A mug in hand, a child’s voice
Whirling rough & laugh for you,
Whirling loop & loop do you?
Coming together, coming apart,
Laughing, and becoming a flower
Colorful, parallel, want to see a miracle?
We live on the same planet, we’ll form a ring, form a ring,
We’ll form a great big circle
Hey, I’ll send you an invisible sign
So no matter where you are, you can catch it
The color of the sky, the color of the wind, all kinds of distance
Let me hear all about you
A bright white shirt, the sun
Smiling, catching, the racing melody
La la la rough & laugh for you, lu lu lu loop & loop do you?
Coming together, coming apart, laughing, and becoming a flower
Colorful, parallel, want to see a miracle?
We live on the same planet, we’ll form a ring, form a ring,
We’ll form a great big circle
With a new kind of words
Writing down all your hopes
From far and from near
Ah, I’m watching over you always
Whirling rough & laugh for you, whirling loop & loop do you?
Coming together, coming apart, laughing, and becoming a flower
La la la rough & laugh for you, lu lu lu loop & loop do you?
Coming together, coming apart, laughing, and becoming a flower
Colorful, parallel, want to see a miracle?
We live on the same planet, we’ll form a ring, form a ring,
Form a ring, form a ring,
We’ll form a great big circle
That was “Rough & Laugh”!
Drums: Itou Daisuke!
You still have some energy?
Still don’t want to let the summer end?
Bass: Mito!
Still don’t want to let it end
Ready?
Are you ready?
Here we go, Yomiuri!
The night that the fierce typhoon passed,
I was looking down on the city from the top of a tall building
The wind still a little erratic,
Tearing at the edge of its departure
The lights of the houses nearby
Shimmered like through searing air
I’d never witnessed a scene like it, though I was used to seeing it
Something is going to change,
That’s how I felt, in a little while
It disappears quietly, June, number 6,
In a little while, in a little while
I can hear the low anouncement of the final train
More clearly than usual
Like always, I just keep on
Staring blankly at the sky
My eyelids a little heavy, I close my eyes
From far away I hear your voice, I’d better get going
I’ve cleared a period of low pressure,
That’s how I felt, in a little while
My feeling suddenly becomes lighter,
That’s how I feel, in a little while, in a little while
Thank you
Something is going to change, that’s how I felt, in a little while
It disappears quietly, June, number 6,
In a little while
By the time I notice, the hour hand is pointing to 2 o’clock,
In a little while
My feeling suddenly becomes lighter,
That’s how I feel, in a little while, in a little while
The night that the fierce typhoon passed,
I was looking down on the city from the top of a tall building
I’m still a little erratic
Tearing at the edge of its departure
More, more
Take the sound “la”…
And put in any word you like…
Take the sound “la”…
And show us the word you want to share…
Send it up to the sky
Sing it up to the sky
Thank you so much
Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts!
Offering up flowers from the waterside in memory
I bow my head vigorously
The time that had stopped begins gently to move
I place my closed heart upon it
Spreading both hands wide, good groovin’
Spin, spin around, good groovin’
That inner rhythm is the beat that is here
Yeah! Can you all see?
Thanks
One thing at a time
I accept
Somehow in this moment
I am living
Those who sow seeds in the most distant lands
Those who wish from afar for thriving days
Spreading both hands wide, good groovin’
Spin, spin around, good groovin’
That inner rhythm is here
You’re all… You’re all so great!
Let’s hear all your voices!
Mito-san has partaken in some alcohol
I’ll have some later
So that light may pour down
So that these humble lives may,
Without pause,
Continue
Spreading both hands wide, good groovin’
Spin, spin around, good groovin’
That inner rhythm is the beat that is here
The beat that is here!
Harada Ikuko
Mito
Itou Daisuke
We came to the kids’ area!
Thanks, everyone
Even if the show ends, we’re singing a song that never will
All your faces are so beautiful!
Let’s all continue on together
Let’s continue on from here
And sing…
Thank you!
That was fun!
Let’s see each other again!
Farewell!
