Here are the translations of PCDL from the Chinese subs on the DVD. The times are approximated from my DVD player just to give a general idea of where it is.
Let me know if there’s something I missed. I’ll try to see what I can do. For the most part, I just did the countdown, the end of the concert, the MC, credits (not all of the credits are subbed on the DVD), and making of. This is all from disc 2.
Please credit if you’re going to use them. Thanks! =) Enjoy!
Spoiler:
22:01 Narrator: 4/8/1998, The first single “poker face” debuted. The honest and heartfelt lyrics obtained many sympathetic responses. 4/2000, The first national tour. Even though midway there were some problems with the inner ear, but the tour wasn’t put off, using all their strength until the last show. 6/2001, at the concert, there was fall from the stage on the first day, but she endured the foot injury for the whole concert. At the tour starting 4/2002, the performances were inspired by the Eastern world style. The same year, summer, the stadium tour began, with Hamasaki country as the theme, and together the group performed. Autumn 2003, to celebrate the 30th single, there was a special concert, singing through 23 songs. 1/2004, starting the new year in the middle of a 4 month tour. All their strength was put in throughout. The 2005 arena tour, in keeping with the emotions theme, was launched with a strong emotional performance. 3/2006, the first day of the tour at Saitama, there was an incident. The equipment wouldn’t start temporary, but the whole group united and the crisis took a turn for the better allowing the performance to continue. 2007, the first Asia tour, at the last show with great feeling she sang a Chinese “Who…” “Asia is one” means a united Asia. 4/2008, at Yoyogi the 10th anniversary was celebrated together with all the supporters and fans. Together they were able to share the happiness of the 10th year. Keep this support for the future.
28:00 Ayu: Let’s start counting down from 10. Here we go: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Happy new year! Please have lots of advice this year!
55:35 Ayu: Happy new year! Thank you all for being here today. It feels like a blink of an eye and 2009 is here. Yesterday too. Today also passed quickly. Really surprised. Everyone’s strength, from the start, has kept coming. Really thank you very much. Let’s continue like this until the end. Now here are two slow songs to start.
1:06:00 Ayu: Thank you. Even though I just said it, I’ll say it again. Happy new year! Today is the second day. From the beginning, there was a really hot feeling waiting for the show to start. First everyone’s really anxious. I want everyone to have good health. Okay, it’s time for the talk for the new year. I’ll say it first. Everyone, can you all say his name? Ready? Yo-Chan! Yo-chan: Welcome to the new year everyone! Is everyone happy to spend the new year here? Ayu: Right. I’m super nervous. Yo-chan: Really very nervous. Half the people were so nervous they couldn’t move. Ayu: Really? That’s great. Yo-chan:You can’t do this superficially. Do you know who’s the most nervous person? Ayu: I don’t know. Yo-chan: It’s me. Ayu: Now, this segment will be to say our new year wishes. Yo-chan: Every year is like this. It’s new year wishes. Before that I have stuck something on the back of my guitar. Ayu: I didn’t hear about it. Yo-chan: A short segment. Wait, let’s hear Ayu’s wish. She already knows. It’s only natural. Ayu: I don’t know right now. Yo-chan: I’ll give you some time. Ayu: Okay Yo-chan: It’s this. Ayu: What? Yo-chan: Nothing. I have a request for Hamasaki Ayumi! Ayu: I heard it. Once the new year started, I heard it. Yo-chan: This year we added a bass charm. Ayu: It feels this year I’ll try hard. Yo-chan: There’s a request for Ayu. Ayu: Yes. Request… Yo-chan: This is from a person in Tokyo. It’s music director, Shino-san. When did you write this? He’s right there. Just now there’s a light. Shino-san is there. Ah, there’s Shino-san. Happy new year. Ayu: Happy new year Yo-chan: Please have lots of advice this year. Ayu: Please have lots of advice this year. Yo-chan: From an older person, you shouldn’t say that. Sorry. Ayu: Sorry. Yo-chan: When he started, he played the keyboards. People who know this know. Now, Shino-san… Shino-san’s request. Because it’s the new year, how should we use everyone’s strength to end the old year? Welcome 2009! Should we make a wave? Ayu: Not bad. So… what kind of wave? Yo-chan: We should use “Happy New Year.” Ayu: How does it work? Yo-chan: Ah. Like this. Ayu, say “New Year.” Start from there. The highest people say “O” Ayu: It’s O ME DE TO U! Yo-chan: Isn’t that good? Ayu: Everyone know’s right? Yo-chan: Listen to me! Ayu: Okay. I’m listening. Yo-chan: I wanted s..s…. Ayu: Snacks? Yo-chan: You can put it on the DVD, right? If the DVD had the wave time fast forwarded, everyone would suddenly say O, then O ME DE TO U! Ayu: Wait, wait, first, when I say new year, do I use the same speed? Yo-chan: Right. You also say it slowly. Ayu: I also say it slowly. Of course. Yo-chan: You have to work together. This is everyone’s strength together. Now, Ayu say it slowly. Ayu: It’s like this. Yo-chan: Like this: New~ Year~ Can you? If you don’t do it like this, it’s really difficult. Ayu: Okay. Yo-chan: You need to use a lower sound. Everyone wants to hear Hamasaki Ayumi’s deep voice. Ayu: Really? Really? Really want to hear? Yo-chan: Let’s start over there. Ayu: If I use the same speed to say it, will it work? Yo-chan: That’s right. Don’t stop. Because it’s too long. This time we’ll let Ayu coordinate it. New~ Year~ Ayu: Do I have to use this speed? Yo-chan: When New~ Year~ is over, start O Ayu: Okay, O. O is all the way over there, right? Yo-chan: Over there. Where’s O? Ayu: Where does O end? Yo-chan: Over there. Ayu: Yes, over there. Yo-chan: When O is done, next is… Ayu: It’s ME. ME. Over there. Yo-chan: From there we go here. Ayu: DE. From that guy there we start DE. It’s there right? Where does DE end? Yo-chan: When that’s over it’s TO Ayu: TO, okay. Yo-chan: Finally, it’s the arena with U, starting from the front Ayu: I really… Yo-chan: At the end, Hamasaki, are you listening to me? Ayu: Yes Yo-chan: Are you listening to what I’m saying? Ayu: Yes. Sorry. Yo-chan: Listen up. At the end, Ayu will say “Please have lots of advice.” Ayu: I have a request. Yo-chan: What is it? Ayu: The end’s “Please have lots of advice,” can I say it cutely? The beginning’s “New year,” can you say it? Yo-chan: What to do? Ayu: Please Yo-chan: In 2009 everyone was on my side. Should I substitute? Do I want to see this Ayu? Audience: Do your best Ayu! Yo-chan: Now I’ll go. Ayu: Please Yo-chan: I ask you please be really, really cute. Like a debuting star, “Please have lots of advice.” Ayu: Use 10 years of heartfelt feeling. Yo-chan: Use a new Ayu feeling to say it. “Please have lots of advice.” Ayu: You want the saying to have that kind of feeling? Yo-chan: I’ll put in effort. I want to see this Ayu. Ayu: Okay, I understand. Yo-chan: If it’s not cute, I won’t like it. Ayu: Where are the cameras? Do you see the cameras? Yo-chan: There’s one over there. Ayu: There. Okay, I’ll look over there. Yo-chan: I won’t be on it, right? Can I? Can I? Okay, I know. So it’s like that. Continue on? Let’s start. When I finished New Year Ayu: Fun Yo-chan: After “year” is done, then start. Good, good, good. Ayu: Good. Yo-chan: Cameras please get ready. Let’s start. New Year Ayu: Smoothly finish. Effort! Amazing! It’s really amazing. Effort. Keep going. Great. Amazing. Done? Ah, I forgot. I quit. Sorry. Audience: One more time Yo-chan: I know Ayu: Wait, Yo-chan. I just was really pitiful. I want Tamori-san’s* gold metal. (*Japanese celebrity) Yo-chan: Everyone, wait a moment. Wait, wait. Let’s encourage Hamasaki Ayumi. Ayu: Thank you. Once more. Yo-chan: Because there’s an echo here, everyone should be louder. Ayu: There’s a little Yo-chan: Ayu is saying “effort” but on the DVD, it’ll be squueeeeaaak. What should I do? Everyone from O will just be sqquueeeaaak. Ayu: Right. I know. Then if I don’t say anything and just watch you do your best. Yo-chan: Can we do our best? Ayu: Effort! Yo-chan: Louder Ayu: Okay Yo-chan: Oh. I start? Ayu: Right. Start there. Yo-chan: New Year Ayu: Good! “Please have lots of advice this year!” Audience: Really cute. Yo-chan: Hamasaki-san, why weren’t you super happy? Ayu: Because I thought it’ll be cool Yo-chan: Not cool Ayu: Really. Thanks Yo-chan: Not cool Ayu: Really thanks Yo-chan: After “Please have lots of advice,” let’s go over your wishes. Ayu: Right. Everyone is always separate from me, so I won’t want that much. Even though it’s like that, I have this feeling there’s a road I can’t go to. Please everyone have lots of advice. Yo-chan: Really terrific. Ayu: Thanks Yo-chan: Please support Ayu Ayu: Lots of support. Okay. Is the band ready? Dancers ready? Staff ready? Audience ready? Okay. Yo-chan: Yoyogi ready?
1:41:50 Ayu: Let’s introduce the dancers. Also KAERU for coming out today. This concert was very long because of all their support. Also, the staff, thank you. Thank you for today. For everyone watching in front of a TV and for everyone here. I am singer, Ayu!
1:45:20 Ayu: Please continue the great work, please applaud for the dancers and the band. Thanks! See you again! 2009 has started beautifully. Really, thank you all. I hope this year we can go to new places and spend time with everyone. Today was really great. Thank you very much!

Making of
(Yoyogi Stadium)
Ayu & Staff: Good morning.
(10th anniversary Premium Countdown Live summary)
(The right hand is injured but it still continues)
Ayu: Good morning everyone Dancers: Good morning. Please take care.
(The right hand in the injured state can’t do much.)
(When rehearsal ended, there was extremely difficulty moving the right hand and the pain became increasingly severe.)
(That day the pain didn’t disappear…)
(Unexpectedly happened…)
(2008.12.24 Rehearsal)
Staff: Good morning.
(The amount of fatigue caused anemia, which caused her to fall down and injure her right hand)
(Ayu picks up the microphone…)
(Next day)
(2008.12.25 Rehearsal) Hideki Endo: The day before yesterday, she injured her finger due to fatigue. It was very serious. We don’t need to force her. But she thinks that until now everyone will have a hard time this late. She also will be absent because her injury is more serious than we thought. We should continue, she said. She is determined, as much as possible, to be in good shape to join the concert. She will find a way. Today is the second day for stage rehearsal, even though she can’t make it, but please manage it in the 10th year style. Do the best to represent the style of the concert. Like this there’s nothing to change. Also, everyone please continue to support and encourage her. Everyone please help out.
(In Ayu’s absence the rehearsals continue)
(The band, dancers, staff, everyone has the same strength to continue in the rehearsal room until the end…)
(2008.12.29 Yoyogi Arena) Ayu: Hello everyone Staff: Hello. Let’s start the rehearsal.
(In the front of the arena, Ayu continues until the very end to work)
Ayu: The right hand has the fan. Together face the direction to move, like this. The fan and hand moves together. Also, immediately after this move, the head is raised, so at the end, open you hand here, like this. Thanks very much everyone. Please use all your feeling until the end. Sorry for the trouble. Everyone please help. Staff: Ayu checks the whole thing. In a moment we’ll do this. Everyone please help. Everyone: Start! Ayu: Please take care. Dancers with me, please don’t use too big moves. Staff: Okay
(According to the performance, they rehearse. This day Ayu goes against the 5 days and picks up the microphone)
(On one hand she performs until the end)
(On the other hand, she endures the pain on her right hand…)
Fans: Thanks everyone. Ayu: Today under these circumstances… the sounds and the lights… Ayu: I can’t hold the microphone. Honestly, I can’t do this until the end.
(2008.12.31)
(Outside there are a lot people)
(Fans use this time to wait for the LIVE to start) Fans: Ayu, we love you. Do you best! We came from Yao** (**a city in Osaka)! Ayu, do you best. Happy 10th anniversary! Ayu, we love you. Love you!
(NHK’s white/red special begins. The fans’ moods become more and more elated.)

Let’s have an enjoyable concert. Ready? Diva, diva, diva. Sorry to trouble everyone. Staff: We’ll go on the director’s cue. Ayu: Let’s go. Ready? Staff: This side.
Backstage cam ~11:51
(This year’s stage is the same as last year, including the inside. In total there are 4 stages designed so that Ayu can interact more with the audience. Use the interlude time for Ayu to go back and forth. It appears to be a different stage.
Staff: One minute! There are 4 parts! Don’t be nervous. Watch your head! Watch your head!
(Three and a half hours, making it the longest concert, until now this has never been done)
(Also performing with an injured right hand is a great risk)
(Not only physical strength, but also mental power, have never been tested to this level)
(But in the middle of a concert, everything needs to appear great)
(The audience will be reached in this way)
(Outside many fans couldn’t buy tickets, stand together and dance to the music)
Staff: Effort, effort.
