[Translation]MY STORY Arena Tour MC

Okay, I hope somebody else didn't already post this. I'm not particiually good at translating but I gave it an effort.

The VCD has Chinese subtitles on it, so that's how this was translated. It's difficult because it's all the tranditional Chinese writing and I'm not very good at reading those, so a lot is missing. Also, the quality of VCDs are not the best, so I couldn't read the words either at times.

My apologies for all the missing parts. I stopped right before Yo-chan starts speaking.

Quote:
(Place where concert is) have fun? Everybody good? Everybody good?

Today is the last concert. Welcome, everybody! Today is the last day. Everybody from the first song became a strong group. Please everyone, today, don't stay still, feel free to sing and dance.

Continuing on, is encore's first song! It's April 20 new single release. Let's sing the new song! Thank you everybody ... because this new single has two songs. Today I'll sing ... "STEP you!"

(Sings STEP you)

Thank you, everybody! Not everybody knows about the new song? April 20...release the song "STEP you" with "is this LOVE?"

"STEP you" is ... to a lover about love's situation honestly. ... uses all of a female star strenght.

And "is this LOVE?" is speaking to the lover directly, instead not honestly. ...

Please, everybody, lots of support! ...

Now, everybody, welcome an important(?) person, MC Yo-chan!
Please, if anybody can help me with this, it would be most helpful.

I'm also trying to translate the part when Yo-Chan speaks and all that, but I've been fairly busy with college applications, so maybe when I have more time.

Thank you so much! Today I was watching my VCD, but I skipped most of the MC part because I didn't understand what she was saying.
Btw, isn't her pronounciation of "Is this love?" the cutest Engrish ever? ^^

let me try doing a translation??

Time [0:01:41]
ayu:
are the audience from (wherever) good?
how is everybody?
how is everybody?
today is the last concert.
welcome everybody!
since the first song,
you guys were a strong group
do not have any regrets today.. (?)
do feel free to sing and dance along!
next up is the first song of the encore
it is the single that was previously released on 20th april
yes! let's sing that song!
thank you for the response!
so...
because this single contains 2 songs
i shall sing the song that is more lively
[STEP you]

-----ayu sings-----

thank you everybody!
i wonder if everybody has heard this single..
it was released on 20th april
the song i sang jus now, STEP you
and another song, is this LOVE?
makes up a double a-side single ... (?)
the song which i sang jus now, STEP you is describing
an honest and innocent girl who puts in effort to pursue the person she loves and the things she likes to do
and is this LOVE? is describing
a stubborn girl, when facing the person she loves, found difficulties being honest, frequently saying things not from her mind
both songs sounds like one
this single portrays the different sides of a girl... (?)
do give me your fullest support
and continuing on
i am going to introduce the long-awaited host
MC Yo-Chan

how abt that? i tried my best already..

here's my take at the whole thing:

ayu: is everyone here doing fine?
ayu: today is the last concert. welcome everyone. today's the last performance, everyone has been so energetic since the first song! everyone, please don't have any regrets and just sing and dance to your heart's content. next is the first song of the encore section, which is one of the songs that came out on 20th april. so let's sing the new song! thanks everyone for the wonderful response.. so.. since this new single is a double AA single, i shall sing the nosier song: "Step You".

- ayu sings -

ayu: thank you everyone! has everyone bought the single yet? the song that i sang just now was Step You. the other song is called Is This Love. It's an AA single. Step You describes a girl who daringly confess her liking to the people that she love and the things that she like, while Is This Love describes a girl who can't express herself in front of the person she likes, and often puts on strong front. Both songs have something in common: both songs talk about the different feelings that is felt by girls. thanks for your support. Now, i shall introduce you to our long awaited MC: Yo Chan!

ayu: what's wrong with you? are you ok?
yo chan: i think i just saw a very KAWAII ( cute) girl giving me a flying kiss just now! that is why im still very dazed.
ayu: so that's why you're still not clear of the situation now?
yochan: yes that's right that's right.
ayu: i see.
yochan: yes. i will do a better job.
ayu: mm. today's the last concert.
yochan: yep, the last day. let's continue this concert the best that we can.
ayu: yes, let's do the best that we can and perform well!

yochan: the last day
crowd: the last day...
yochan: thank you everyone
ayu: this is good.
yochan: thank you everyone for cooperating. this is good. why are you all so clever!? at the start of the ARENATOUR05 tour, i was just doing what i used to do: speaking a few lines during MC. but somehow or another, it has become a habit and regular segment of the show ( to ask ayumi questions that come from the fans)
ayu: yea, suddenly, this segment just appeared one day.
yochan: so, what's today's questions? actually, its pasted on the back of my guitar!

yochan: today's questions are interesting.
ayu: yes.
yochan: since this is the last day
ayu: yes that's right. today's the last day that we this special segment too.
yochan: yes, of course.
ayu: very good.
yochan: are you ready? im starting! im going to ask ayumi hamasaki a question now!

yochan: thank you eveyone, toady there is a total of 11494 questions from all the fans!
ayu: SUGOI! thank you everyone.
yochan: which means, since today is the last performance of the My Story Tour, this will mark the end of the journey. that is why there is a question that has been appearing in almost every concert during this tour.
ayu: i see i see.
yochan: lets ask something that's more special on the last day ok?

ayu: im very sorry to interrupt when yo-chan is speaking halfway. when i was singing inspire just now, there has been something bothering me.
yochan: what?
ayu: can i say? when you are speaking till halfway? i really can interrupt? can i? alright. just now there was someone over there who was dressed in a construction worker's outfit! that person... how should i say it.. oh, and he wasn't wearing anything inside the outfit. ( the outfit was very revealing) when it was very dark at the audience stand just now, ( during inspire, there was only light on the stage, the audience stand was dark) and when the atmosphere was very good, i saw him over there, shining and radiating light. and.. there was blinking light.. so i caught notice of him. he was alone there swaying to the music. now that the audience stand is brighter, i can finally see clearly who is he, and the truth is he really isn't wearing anything inside!
anyway, i just wanted to tell everyone about this matter.
yochan: -jokingly- there isnt any construction work going around there right! is it ok? no problem? everyone around him, please be careful!
ayu: so sorry to interupt! let's go back to what yochan was saying.
yochan: finally it's cleared up. seriously, actually i was quite bothered by it too.
ayu: yeah, finally things cleared up.
yochan: it was very easy to spot him. i wanted to say that guy is even more shiny and attentionseeking den my guitar!

yochan: ok, we're going to start now.
ayu: ok, lets start.
yochan: there are 2 questions that have been frequently asked by a lot of people!
ayu: the most asked questions?
yochan: that's right. today, we shall finally ask this 2 questions.

yochan: the first question is: during this tour, what has happened that made you REALLY happy?
ayu: ahhh, something that made me happy
yochan: during this tour...
ayu: this is the best thing that made me really very happy. during this tour, it marked the 7th year since i debut in this industry. so, im now an "8th grade student" in this industry

audience cheer.

ayu: thank you everyone. during my eighth anniversary, everyone secretly.. mm.. yochan gave a letter to all the audience before they came into the concert hall. and then under his cue, everyone started to sing my first single! it was a huge surprise, as well as a huge present. this has made me very happy. thank you everyone!
yochan: actually i knew this would be one of the things that made you very happy, so i have prepared this photo that you took with everyone on that day to show everyone here.
ayu: yes, it was a photo i took with everyone.
yochan: yes, this is the 9/april's photograph. everyone backstage took out a birthday cake on stage and we started celebrating. at that time, we took a foto with the audience. let's show everyone.
ayu: yes, it's this photograph. right at the back there, with the peace handsign, and seemingly very happy man- that's yochan.
yochan: that's right. although it's ayu's celebration, but i seem to be more obvious den ayu in the photo. very sorry for that.
ayu: mm this photo is not bad. i like this photo a lot. everyone has a copy of this photo.
ochan: after that, we went to the backstage and cut the cake into small pieces for everyone.
ayu: yep.

im exhausted! shall continue another day!

i think i shall continue with this.. right after where ayufan89 stopped...

Yo-Chan: That's right. Anyway, i still have to congratulate you.
ayu: Yep. So this was the question that was most asked asked by people.
Yo-Chan: This then is the question that was the most frequently asked. Everybody is interested in knowing the incident that made you extremely happy. But i knew you will definitely say it is this incident, so i prepared this photo.
ayu: Thank you everyone.
Yo-Chan: Please work harder in your career.
ayu: Yes i will.
Yo-Chan: next up is another question. hehehe... this one... i think there is only one answer.. living in osaka....
ayu: because this is the last question, can i have the sound effect please?
Yo-Chan: Oh sorry i forgot. yes totally forgot about it. sorry sorry.
ayu: you always forgot.
Yo-Chan: i seems to be forgetful this few days. QUESTION!

-sound effect-

ayu: yes, this is the one.
Yo-Chan: i am very sorry about this. living in osaka, this 10 yrs old girl posted this qns.
ayu: yes
Yo-Chan: please tell me the accidents that happened during this concert tour.
ayu: accidents....
Yo-Chan: yes accidents..
ayu: there are too much to be noted..
Yo-Chan: many things happened right?
ayu: mmm...
Yo-Chan: basically, i predicted an answer so i got prepared.
ayu: can't say that there isnt any failure.. after all it is inevitable, there bound to be some minor accidents.. i cannot say its little. but there are a few.. which incident are you talking about?
Yo-Chan: isnt there a lot of accidents?
ayu: ah! that... myself.. that is the one in (wherever).. the SUPER ARENA in (wherever). i have not started! you guys don't laugh!

ayu: at the SUPER ARENA in (wherever), i was playing the wave with everybody. it was 5 storeys there.. so it looked magnificent. the 4th, to the 3rd, to the 2nd. it was just touching! just when i had a surge of energy to rush forward, i fell suddenly. that is, how can i phrase it? i slipped and fell. the impact was so great that i suspected if i was ok, if everything is going to end just like this. although nothing happened to me, but in the following week, there was a blue-black with the shape of the net on the floor. i wanted to show it to everybody, but didn't in the end. i bet you guys will say ''i don't even wanna see it'' right?

Yo-Chan: yes! anybody here saw that in (wherever)? wow there seems to be a lot of witnesses.
ayu: yeah a lot...
Yo-Chan: yes. although not everybody saw that personally, but i bet there are people who wants to see the entire incident right?

Yo-Chan: So how? let's show it to everybody then. i have a video of ayumi hamasaki falling. in this concert tour, i have showed many photos. yet it is the first time showing a video.
ayu: it can't be true!
Yo-Chan: because jus showing the moment of your fall is rather pitiful, so we shall watch from the beginning! please show the video!

-shows video-

ayu: ah!! very good! very neat! very good!
ayu: because the wave was simply too magnificent, it made me excited. i have never fell like this since primary school. it was painful!
Yo-Chan: hamasaki san? hamasaki san? are you alright?
ayu: you were definitely well-prepared.
Yo-Chan: the impression was too deep. the cameraman did a good job right? right? and if there is anybody here in the audience who wish to view the video again, let's play it once more. but let's not start from the beginning. just play the shortened one.

Yo-Chan: it seems to hurt a lot.
ayu: the way i fell was totally weird! the way i fell will not lose to the way comedians fall. so why are you showing it to everybody?
Yo-Chan: Your injury is completely...
ayu: completely healed! healed in a week's time.
Yo-Chan: so not painful anymore?
ayu: my heart still feels a little bit painful.
Yo-Chan: i think it is going to get more painful now. just now that moment,
ayu: i felt like i was being stabbed once more jus now.
Yo-Chan: you want another stab? nah i was joking... that's it. the most frequently asked question, the happiest incident,
ayu: oh i see.. so this is the special part of the concert.
Yo-Chan: and also the accidents that happened. i purposely used the method to lead you to say the answer i want. that's for the previous 2 question. the 2 questions are for today. the above is the "questions i want to ask ayumi hamasaki"

ayu: and next up.. this section usually ends with Yo-Chan.. but there is an additional section today. ''questions ayumi hamasaki wants to ask Yo-Chan!!"

(words: something happened! i want to ask Yo-Chan this question!!)

ayu: Just wait and see.
Yo-Chan: Why have i not heard about it before?
ayu: just wait and see.
Yo-Chan: what?
ayu: that Yoshio-san.
Yo-Chan: that's me.
ayu: at the Countdown Live,
Yo-Chan: Yes.
ayu: you revealed a goal for 2005 is it? everybody knows about it? yeah? everybody still remembers it? to lose 10 kg of weight! that's your goal you set for youself.
audience: Not thin at all.
Yo-Chan: yes. You guys are very noisy! i am not here for you all to criticise.
ayu: Yes i agree, but guys, Yoshio-san is very hardworking... so today...
Yo-Chan: what?
ayu: we have a photo of Yoshio-san working hard on his goal privately. let's see it.

Yo-Chan: That cannot be true!
ayu: this was when you were training your abs.
Yo-Chan: when did you take this photo? i have no impression of this photo at all.
ayu: you seems to enjoy it alot. the process of slimming down.
Yo-Chan: that was when i was imitating the action of rowing.
ayu: ah.. i see..
Yo-Chan: how could you do this to me?
ayu: thats it. Yo-Chan always work-out quietly at a corner of the backstage, controlling his diet. so the Countdown Live this year, we should see a Yo-Chan that lost 10 kg of weight! the above is "questions ayumi hamasaki wants to ask Yo-Chan!"

i hope this help... sorry for the long post.. but it is 4 am here now.. gotta sleep soon... goodnight!!!

Thank you! That really helps a lot. I wonder if the "Special Side" disk will ever be translated. I'd love to know what Ayu says when she makes all of her Humming 7/4 mistakes.

Ditto, the MC on the Special Disk seemed very funny. Have you seen the part where she talked about Walking Proud, where she couldn't reach the veil? That was really funny.
