TA Message 357 - Tour Rehearsal, TV Lives

[Delirium-Zer0]

Summing up:
-Ayu messed up the lyrics when taping Music Japan yesterday, but she got to do another take.
-When ayu is checking how the band & dancers are doing, she listens to/watches each band member & dancer one at a time! o_O
-She's doing 2 songs for FNS Festival Live tomorrow, one of which is acapella (with the backup singers). That should be interesting.

I was really tired, and I came here to write, but my japanese was getting rather imperfect sounding so I gave up.

So now, I've finally been able to return to share what I was going to say yesterday.



Yesterday we did the taping at NHK Hall for Music Japan.
It was my first time singing "Days" for a tv show, so I was very nervous, and I was singing with all my might, and then at the last chorus...

"kimi ga iru, sore dake de, kokoro ga totemo atatakaku naru"
"kimi ga iru, sore dake de, kokoro wa ikiru imi wo motsu kara"

Those two lines got jumbled up in my head, and turned into,

"kimi ga iru, sore dake de, kokoro wa 'tomaru' imi wo motsu kara" ("Just because you're here, my heart holds the meaning of coming to a halt")


And that's what I sang.




And I did halt!!!! (lol!)



Thanks go to the very kind guests and staff at the venue who let me sing one more time to correct it.

I give you my gratitude------ m(__)m





And then right after that we changed locations to the TBS studio to tape CDTV.

Of course the band & I had a completely changed disposition by this point.


So then, the band who had now successfully completed 2 TV lives headed to band rehearsal.
And I likewise headed for dance rehearsal.




After going back home, it's a meeting for band rehearsal sound check & dance rehearsal video check.
You know, after doing this every day I'm getting pretty used to it.



The way I usually check them is, I'll listen to each sound played one at a time (for example, first I'll listen to just the guitar, then second I'll listen to just the drums...), and eventually repeat playback for everyone's parts.

This means, since the band has 7 people including the two backup singers, I listen to one song at least 7 times.


For dance rehearsal too, I do the check in a similar way.
There are 10 dancers so I watch the performance 10 times, once isn't enough.


Yesterday, since I was working until morning on this, I couldn't even speak japanese anymore. XD




Even in my current state, this Chonchan has to rehearse for tomorrow's FNS Live.
I'm singing 2 songs, but one of them is acapella so I'm very very nervous~~~~~~....>_<....


I'm practicing with the 'sorority' of three girls, Peco, Princess, and Hamorikko. o/~




Oh yeah, and Kaz is uploading Today's Photo after this.
Everyone please look forward to it (^_-)-*

This computer doesn't have Photoshop on it yet so I'll translate & post the Today's Photo later.
