Don't forget to check the chart...


(Continued from Part 1)

N: Until when will you guys do this band?? Will you keep doing the band??

C: This reunion is for limited time only. We'll quit after the live tour in October.
T: After the tour in October, you guys gonna be split again??

C: Yeah, we are planning it to be.

T: Come on!! You guys finally reunited!!

N: Why don't you guys keep on doing??

C: Yeah............. Hmm........... Yes......

T: You really aren't in the mood (for keep on doing the band)!!

N: What do you really wanna do, Ishii san??

C: Like, we are not young anymore. (Pointing Tokuno)We have a 60-year-old member in the band,too!!

And, somebody might be gone (*dead) next year. (So, we can't say for sure to say "we will carry on")

T: (If you'll disband again,) you guys will meet each other only at funerals for members!!!!! Saying something like "Wish we could meet on some happy occasions....."

All the members break into laugh.

C: Yeah, could be.

N: Do it at you guys' own pace, maybe like once a year or so. Just do the music whatever you guys want to.

C: That sounds a good idea... What a solid opinion!!

N: Coz!! It's kinda waste(if you'll disband again)... I really like you guys♡

C: Many people in the front lines (of the showbiz industry) told us that they were fans of us.

They also told us that "Please do the Kome Kome again". That encouraged us to reunite.

T: You guys should not brake up again, should you??

N: I guess there's something that they can tell directly (to each other), so we've got "totalizers" here.

I think this will reveal the clear facts about the band. You wanna go first, Taka san??

(*Totalizer is something like this. Each member holds a small switch in their hands and push them to answer the questions.)

T: (Reads a question) "We could reunite finally, so let's not say it's a limited time reunion!! Let's keep on doing this band"

N: Good question. This question could change their minds...

5 said "Yes"

T: See??

C: Half of the band wants to (carry on).

N: This means 4 of you guys are thinking "I wanna quit after the 7 months of limited reunion!!"

T: But, you want to keep on doing, right, Joplin san??

J: Yeah, I'm old so (I don't want to break up again)...

C: Actually, Tokuno's apperarence hasn't changed much. He just looks older.

N: He is the type of a person who doesn't look different 10 years later.

C: James san and Joplin Tokuno haven't changed actually.

B: They looked older even when they were students.

C: They did.

N: I get embarrassed when I watch my past appearances (because I've changed so much), and go like "Please don't watch them!!".

I thought it was very cool when I watched your clips.

You guys don't get embarrassed when you watch those clips(because you guys hasn't changed much), right?? I guess you can proud when you watch them.

C: Not.....really....

T: (Reads a question)"After these 10 years, everybody got mellower(*more calm)".

3 said "Yes"

T: That means there are some people didn't get milder.

N: (Asks a question)"That is Ishii san who had not got mellower".

C: Why me!?

4 said "Yes"

N: Ishii san!! 4 thinks like that.

T: From the clip from 9 and half year ago, it was obvious you totally pissed off at that time!!

C: Totally I was.

T: You were like "I just wanna quit Kome Kome immediately!!!!".

C: I guess I was kind of fatigued...

N: (Reads a question) "I have had part-time job(s) after the band disbanded"

1 said "Yes"

T: There is one person who has(Saying it to CSI).

N: You hadn't have any part-time jobs. Have you Ishii san??

C: Hey, our job (*the showbiz) is something like part-time jobs!!

T; But, there is somebody who needed to have a part-time job for make his living. Right, Ryo-J san??

You were a delivery person for the food-catering shop??

R: Yes, I was. I also was a cook for that shop.

T: (*He knows which shop Ryo-J worked for, which is 金兵衛.) The shop which serves good sablefish, right??

R: Yes, it is.

T: That shop delivers a lunch with little macaroni salad, doesn't it??

R: Yes. You are quite familiar with the shop!!

T: That shop delivers lunches to the studios for glittering showbiz world. (Pretending as a "used-to-be-a-star delivery guy"↓↓ )

"Good morning, here is your order. Could you put your signature here?? [Ahhhh, I used to be in this kind of places.....] Thank you very much for your order!!"

N: What do you feel after you heard this?? You didn't give him any care??

C: Hey, wait!! Is it my fault if Ryo-J works at catering shop!?

(*Ryo-J is going like, "No!! No!!")

T: What are you going to do if somebody lose their jobs when you guys disband again??

J: Yeah, that's a problem...

T: Ishii san will be fine, but... you two (Flash Kaneko and Minako) are married couple, right?? That means you guys have to make living as a family. So, if the band get disbanded again...

M: Indeed!! Indeed!! I don't know how can we make our living!!

T: Right. You have to care about your younger sister!!

N: That's right.

C: Why don't we talk about something more interesting instead of financial hardships!?

Like something about our music. We are here for the first time after 9 years!!

T: I told you, this program is like a comedy hour!!

C: No, no, no!! Coz (that topic is) not funny!!
