This is a translation of the talk with L’Arc~en~Ciel from the October 13 2006 episode of Music Station. This translation was previously posted on Pieces and on my LiveJournal. As always with video clips, it is possible that I misheard something and thus mistranslated it. Enjoy<\/p>\n
BEGIN <\/b><\/p>\n
(The first time we see L’Arc is after Niji ranks in at number 68 on the featured countdown. )<\/p>\n
Tamori : I remember this song.
\nken : Before making this song, we were in London. One time, I went to an instrument shop, and there was this really smily old man there, in the shop, saying “Buy this. Buy this.” Like I had a choice. Then we got back to Japan and played with what I bought there, and Niji’s what came out of it.
\nCrowd : Eeeeeh!?
\nKen : And considering how that turned out, I thought maybe I should have bought more while I was over there. <\/p>\n
(Main segment for L’Arc’s performance)<\/p>\n
It begins with an announcement about how far back today’s song dates, plus the fact that this marks the 40th time they have been on this show.
\nCrowd : Whooooah~<\/p>\n
Tamori makes a comment to the effect that Ken had other things going on this past year.
\nken : That’s right. For a while back there I thought my foot was never going to heal and I was hobbling around on those crutches. One amazing thing that happened was having a smiling, happy Hamasaki-san helping me get around. “Come this way~” and stuff. That’s what lets me know I’m a star.
\nEveryone : *laughs*
\nken : Wow, I’ve made it this far~ Yeah. I was happy.<\/p>\n
Tamori : So. Do you have fun when you come here, to Music Station?
\ntetsu : It’s the tissues…
\nTamori : Tissues?
\ntetsu : They have these tissues here at Music Station, you can’t buy them anywhere else. And when I run out, I know it’s time to make new songs. Gotta release something.<\/p>\n
(They go on standby. While the song is being introduced, the guy behind the hosts holds up a box of tissues…)<\/p>\n
