00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:08,133
Good morning.

00:00:08,883 --> 00:00:10,051
<i>This is a man</i>

5
00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:12,804
<i>chosen by music.</i>

6
00:00:12,887 --> 00:00:14,139
Can we go through it once?

7
00:00:14,222 --> 00:00:15,098
Of course.

8
00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:29,863
Again.

9
00:00:55,430 --> 00:00:57,182
-Is this the chord?
-Yes.

10
00:00:57,265 --> 00:00:58,099
Yes.

11
00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:06,733
{\an8}<i>Daiki Tsuneta.</i>

12
00:01:15,325 --> 00:01:18,244
{\an8}<i>He leads the massively popular
Japanese rock band King Gnu</i>

13
00:01:18,953 --> 00:01:21,206
{\an8}<i>and is the creative genius behind
all of its musical production.</i>

{\an8}TSUNETA, GUITAR & VOCAL

15
00:01:31,925 --> 00:01:33,301
How difficult.

16
00:01:34,636 --> 00:01:36,554
{\an8}<i>A rare genius
whose talent could not be tamed</i>

17
00:01:36,638 --> 00:01:37,889
{\an8}<i>even by Tokyo University of the Arts.</i>

00:01:41,768 --> 00:01:43,895
<i>He plays over ten different instruments.</i>

20
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:47,482
<i>There are no musical barriers for him.</i>

21
00:01:47,565 --> 00:01:51,111
An instrument called "horn"
is highlighted here.

22
00:01:51,194 --> 00:01:52,028
Okay.

23
00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:55,615
<i>Tsuneta expands the boundary
of musical expression.</i>

24
00:01:58,618 --> 00:02:02,747
How do I reshape conventional music?

25
00:02:03,498 --> 00:02:08,044
I'm drawn to that aspect
of artistic expressions.

26
00:02:09,838 --> 00:02:13,299
{\an8}You could say it's a process
of destruction and creation.

27
00:02:13,383 --> 00:02:16,845
{\an8}DESTRUCTION AND CREATION

28
00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:20,849
I just keep on working.

29
00:02:24,352 --> 00:02:26,604
<i>Tsuneta's creativity
extends to visual expressions</i>

30
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:29,190
<i>as he collaborates
with other creators in the industry.</i>

31
00:02:32,485 --> 00:02:34,946
<i>He now opens a new chapter
of music with this innovative project.</i>

<i>His focus shifts
from Tokyo to the international scene.</i>

34
00:02:50,962 --> 00:02:52,422
I'm recording.

35
00:02:52,505 --> 00:02:54,048
You are on camera.

36
00:02:54,132 --> 00:02:56,092
Please extend a warm welcome!

37
00:02:56,175 --> 00:02:58,511
<i>We closely followed Tsuneta
for three months.</i>

38
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:03,975
<i>We traced the creative process</i>

39
00:03:04,058 --> 00:03:05,101
<i>of a musical genius</i>

40
00:03:05,184 --> 00:03:07,353
<i>from the beginning
to the end of one project.</i>

41
00:03:07,437 --> 00:03:10,982
<i>It is entitled "2992."</i>

42
00:03:12,025 --> 00:03:14,527
Wouldn't it be interesting

43
00:03:14,611 --> 00:03:16,738
if my music persisted into 2992?

44
00:03:16,821 --> 00:03:19,324
That's why I have to give it my all.

45
00:03:23,369 --> 00:03:24,329
No!

46
00:03:24,412 --> 00:03:26,748
<i>What did Tsuneta envision</i>

47
00:03:26,831 --> 00:03:29,125
<i>in the distant future?</i>

48
00:03:29,208 --> 00:03:30,251
Not like this.

49
00:03:30,335 --> 00:03:32,003
One more time.

50
00:03:32,670 --> 00:03:34,881
<i>I want to create a piece that affirms</i>

51
00:03:34,964 --> 00:03:39,385
<i>the viewpoints and perspectives
of diverse people in the world.</i>

52
00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:52,398
<i>I've finally completed</i>

53
00:03:52,482 --> 00:03:54,108
<i>a clean, polished piece.</i>

54
00:03:55,276 --> 00:03:56,569
<i>Now, time to find ways to deconstruct it.</i>

55
00:03:59,030 --> 00:04:00,740
Give me a break.

56
00:04:03,034 --> 00:04:05,453
I'm not done yet.
It can still get tweaked.

57
00:04:05,536 --> 00:04:07,288
Why am I always in a hurry like this?

58
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:12,752
{\an8}<i>He is truly a prodigy born</i>

59
00:04:12,835 --> 00:04:14,879
{\an8}<i>from the chaotic world that is Tokyo.</i>

60
00:04:15,630 --> 00:04:18,716
{\an8}<i>We followed his never-ending process of
destruction and creation.</i>

61
00:04:26,975 --> 00:04:30,812
{\an8}SEPTEMBER 14, 2020

62
00:04:31,396 --> 00:04:32,230
{\an8}Hi.

63
00:04:33,856 --> 00:04:35,441
{\an8}-Hello.
-Nice to meet you.

64
00:04:35,525 --> 00:04:36,776
{\an8}<i>Our recording efforts began</i>

65
00:04:37,735 --> 00:04:39,195
<i>in September 2020.</i>

66
00:04:40,071 --> 00:04:41,239
We are now recording.

67
00:04:42,991 --> 00:04:43,950
All right.

68
00:04:56,838 --> 00:04:58,881
We finished recording
the bass part just now.

69
00:04:59,674 --> 00:05:02,343
Oh, hello.

70
00:05:02,427 --> 00:05:05,263
What a close-up project.

71
00:05:05,346 --> 00:05:07,390
Isn't that a big camera?

72
00:05:08,474 --> 00:05:09,350
Would you like to listen?

73
00:05:13,187 --> 00:05:14,397
{\an8}<i>On this day,</i>

74
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,065
{\an8}<i>they are recording</i>

75
00:05:16,149 --> 00:05:18,276
{\an8}<i>their debut album,</i> THE MILLENNIUM PARADE.

76
00:05:18,359 --> 00:05:20,236
{\an8}NARRATION: TOBBY UEHARA

77
00:05:23,448 --> 00:05:26,743
{\an8}<i>Their passion and innovation</i>

78
00:05:26,826 --> 00:05:28,703
{\an8}<i>are the epitome of Tokyo's chaos.</i>

79
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:45,011
-Is that better?
-Well,

80
00:05:45,094 --> 00:05:46,137
just in case.

81
00:05:46,763 --> 00:05:48,097
After I pleaded.

82
00:05:48,181 --> 00:05:49,265
Do you want it simpler?

83
00:05:49,348 --> 00:05:50,558
Sure, why not?

84
00:05:52,643 --> 00:05:53,978
I prefer it that way.

85
00:05:55,229 --> 00:05:57,732
Could you introduce the band members?

86
00:05:57,815 --> 00:05:58,649
All right.

87
00:05:59,192 --> 00:06:02,737
{\an8}He is King Gnu's bassist.

88
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,822
{\an8}I'm Kazuki Arai.

89
00:06:04,906 --> 00:06:05,740
{\an8}Nice to meet you.

90
00:06:05,823 --> 00:06:07,241
{\an8}-He's Arai.
-I'm Arai.

91
00:06:07,325 --> 00:06:10,369
{\an8}And he is Ayatake Ezaki.

92
00:06:10,453 --> 00:06:14,332
{\an8}He plays for other bands such as WONK.

93
00:06:14,415 --> 00:06:19,587
{\an8}Ayatake plays the keyboard
for King Gnu as well.

94
00:06:19,670 --> 00:06:21,130
In that way,

95
00:06:21,214 --> 00:06:23,966
we do have core members.

96
00:06:25,593 --> 00:06:27,386
We play Daiki Tsuneta's works.

97
00:06:27,470 --> 00:06:28,429
All right.

98
00:06:28,513 --> 00:06:29,764
Now, do you mind playing a song?

99
00:06:29,847 --> 00:06:31,015
Sure.

100
00:06:41,150 --> 00:06:42,318
-Ready.
-Okay.

101
00:07:12,014 --> 00:07:13,266
Wonderful.

102
00:07:13,891 --> 00:07:14,892
It's an interesting piece.

103
00:07:14,976 --> 00:07:16,644
It might be suitable

104
00:07:16,727 --> 00:07:18,146
for the last bit of the improv.

105
00:07:19,647 --> 00:07:21,816
La, ti, do, re, mi, so, mi.

106
00:07:22,650 --> 00:07:23,484
Right.

107
00:07:24,485 --> 00:07:27,488
-Using the scale sounds interesting.
-I agree.

108
00:07:27,572 --> 00:07:30,867
It may be bland, though.

109
00:07:32,076 --> 00:07:34,120
-Want to keep that version?
-Yeah.

110
00:07:34,745 --> 00:07:36,873
-I'll try again.
-All right.

111
00:07:50,303 --> 00:07:51,179
<i>Usually,</i>

112
00:07:51,262 --> 00:07:53,598
<i>a producer directs recording sessions.</i>

113
00:07:53,681 --> 00:07:54,765
<i>But not in this studio.</i>

114
00:07:55,933 --> 00:07:58,060
<i>Tsuneta is the one
who makes all the decisions.</i>

115
00:08:03,816 --> 00:08:04,775
I can say that…

116
00:08:05,651 --> 00:08:07,904
-It's got its charm.
-I agree.

117
00:08:07,987 --> 00:08:09,780
I forgot what I listened to.

118
00:08:09,864 --> 00:08:11,157
We can also

119
00:08:12,116 --> 00:08:13,576
splice the best parts
from each recorded audio.

120
00:08:14,785 --> 00:08:16,704
Tsuneta, you don't seem

121
00:08:16,787 --> 00:08:18,456
to be directing the scene.

122
00:08:18,539 --> 00:08:20,082
Not usually, no.

123
00:08:20,166 --> 00:08:21,667
Ultimately,

124
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,839
he decides on the final version,

125
00:08:26,923 --> 00:08:29,300
but he gives each musician

126
00:08:29,383 --> 00:08:33,554
the space to express their own creativity.

127
00:08:33,638 --> 00:08:36,891
What you witnessed with this session
is a great example of that.

128
00:08:36,974 --> 00:08:38,643
I never play the bass this freely

129
00:08:38,726 --> 00:08:40,728
-in other recordings.
-No, never.

130
00:08:40,811 --> 00:08:44,148
It may be rare to ask the musicians

131
00:08:44,232 --> 00:08:45,858
to be active players.

132
00:08:46,901 --> 00:08:48,236
In that way, my project

133
00:08:48,319 --> 00:08:53,366
allows musicians to bring out their best.

134
00:08:53,449 --> 00:08:54,867
-Yeah.
-That may be so.

135
00:08:54,951 --> 00:08:55,785
Yeah.

136
00:08:55,868 --> 00:08:58,246
We are able to express
our musical creativity here.

137
00:08:58,329 --> 00:08:59,163
Yeah.

138
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,679
-Isn't it good?
-It sounds good.

139
00:09:14,762 --> 00:09:16,639
It has a starting instrumental feel to it.

140
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:18,599
Let's go with this for now.

141
00:09:26,983 --> 00:09:32,238
{\an8}SEPTEMBER 15, 2020

142
00:09:32,321 --> 00:09:33,281
{\an8}<i>The following day,</i>

143
00:09:33,906 --> 00:09:36,951
{\an8}<i>we were allowed
into Tsuneta's private studio.</i>

144
00:09:40,037 --> 00:09:41,122
<i>This was the first time</i>

145
00:09:41,205 --> 00:09:43,416
<i>a camera was allowed</i>

146
00:09:43,499 --> 00:09:44,792
<i>into the creative process with his band.</i>

147
00:09:56,012 --> 00:09:57,638
-Good morning.
-Morning.

148
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:58,723
Good to see you today.

149
00:09:59,682 --> 00:10:02,310
What are you working on right now?

150
00:10:02,393 --> 00:10:04,395
This is for King Gnu.

151
00:10:05,146 --> 00:10:06,856
It's from December's recording.

152
00:10:07,773 --> 00:10:09,358
It's our new song.

153
00:10:16,073 --> 00:10:18,909
{\an8}"STAR OF THE SHOW"

154
00:10:18,993 --> 00:10:20,453
{\an8}<i>He was working on</i>

155
00:10:20,536 --> 00:10:22,580
{\an8}<i>the demo for King Gnu's new song.</i>

156
00:10:23,205 --> 00:10:24,874
{\an8}<i>In other words, designing a song.</i>

157
00:10:45,936 --> 00:10:46,937
It leads to this section.

158
00:10:47,897 --> 00:10:49,523
What do you say

159
00:10:49,607 --> 00:10:51,067
-about adding the keyboard here?
-Yeah.

160
00:10:58,115 --> 00:11:00,034
<i>Tsuneta listens to the same line
over and over again</i>

161
00:11:00,701 --> 00:11:02,953
<i>as he fine-tunes
the sound for each instrument.</i>

162
00:11:37,988 --> 00:11:41,033
I do this endlessly.

163
00:11:41,117 --> 00:11:43,452
For example…

164
00:11:50,126 --> 00:11:51,877
These are the tracks

165
00:11:51,961 --> 00:11:54,713
-for King Gnu's newest release.
-Right.

166
00:11:54,797 --> 00:11:57,716
-It's a song titled "A Cheap Novel."
-Right.

167
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,262
It's composed of 52 individual tracks.

168
00:12:01,804 --> 00:12:03,722
These parts compose one song.

169
00:12:08,894 --> 00:12:13,107
You start by composing
the bass's melody line.

170
00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:16,819
That's correct. That's where I
get the rough feel of the song.

171
00:12:16,902 --> 00:12:17,736
Okay.

172
00:12:18,863 --> 00:12:21,740
For example, I incorporate chords.

173
00:12:21,824 --> 00:12:23,409
The E chord

174
00:12:23,492 --> 00:12:24,827
is followed by an open chord.

175
00:12:33,085 --> 00:12:34,837
It sounds like this.

176
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,130
It's difficult to explain using words.

177
00:12:55,357 --> 00:12:58,736
This is how I come up with
the overall mood of the song.

178
00:13:01,739 --> 00:13:03,282
I start to feel out the song.

179
00:13:09,830 --> 00:13:10,998
Within that process,

180
00:13:11,081 --> 00:13:12,708
I experiment with the melody.

181
00:13:16,045 --> 00:13:17,755
This melody line

182
00:13:17,838 --> 00:13:20,424
is then incorporated like so.

183
00:13:23,052 --> 00:13:26,055
And if you don't hear the strings…

184
00:13:26,889 --> 00:13:28,474
Where's the strings track?

185
00:13:30,392 --> 00:13:31,227
Here it is.

186
00:13:32,019 --> 00:13:33,437
I incorporate the melody into the demo.

187
00:13:40,444 --> 00:13:41,320
That's the process.

188
00:13:42,363 --> 00:13:43,405
That's how

189
00:13:43,489 --> 00:13:46,242
the agglomeration is created.

190
00:13:48,452 --> 00:13:50,496
It's a never-ending process.

191
00:14:47,595 --> 00:14:49,346
<i>Where does he draw inspiration</i>

192
00:14:50,014 --> 00:14:51,599
<i>for his unique musical taste?</i>

193
00:14:52,641 --> 00:14:54,143
-All these art books.
-Yes.

194
00:14:55,227 --> 00:14:56,937
This is where I draw my inspiration from.

195
00:14:57,021 --> 00:15:00,691
-Yes.
-It's a collective of various artists.

196
00:15:00,774 --> 00:15:02,526
Who is this?

197
00:15:02,610 --> 00:15:04,945
This one is Kosuke Kawamura.

198
00:15:05,988 --> 00:15:07,239
He's a collage artist.

199
00:15:08,782 --> 00:15:13,704
The media he works with,

200
00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:18,000
-collage, is something I find relatable.
-Yes.

201
00:15:18,834 --> 00:15:20,669
Let me show you.

202
00:15:20,753 --> 00:15:21,587
Okay.

203
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,260
I sampled an orchestra.

204
00:15:28,344 --> 00:15:29,178
Okay.

205
00:15:32,890 --> 00:15:34,808
I then insert the beats.

206
00:15:35,601 --> 00:15:39,730
I applied a collage-like technique
to my music.

207
00:15:39,813 --> 00:15:43,067
-Yes.
-I create unique music unlike any other.

208
00:15:55,329 --> 00:15:56,914
By destroying

209
00:15:56,997 --> 00:16:00,918
a completed piece
and reconstructing it from scratch,

210
00:16:02,628 --> 00:16:05,089
you can create completely different music.

211
00:16:05,756 --> 00:16:11,261
It's a way to build a totally new work.

212
00:16:11,345 --> 00:16:16,600
You can say that my work
is based on this approach.

213
00:16:16,684 --> 00:16:17,768
Yes.

214
00:16:18,394 --> 00:16:22,022
-I see, you explained it very clearly.
-Was it clear? That's good to hear.

215
00:16:23,857 --> 00:16:25,859
That's my approach to music.

216
00:16:25,943 --> 00:16:27,361
Wow. Yeah.

217
00:16:27,444 --> 00:16:29,405
-Look at this chair.
-Okay.

218
00:16:29,488 --> 00:16:30,447
Isn't it unique?

219
00:16:31,281 --> 00:16:32,783
It has spikes coming out of the leather.

220
00:16:32,866 --> 00:16:35,411
It's custom-made.

221
00:16:35,494 --> 00:16:37,579
-It's also a work of collage.
-Wow.

222
00:16:39,123 --> 00:16:40,666
The spikes are in the way, though.

223
00:16:42,418 --> 00:16:44,420
It's the same
with the laptop on the floor.

224
00:16:44,503 --> 00:16:45,546
Yeah.

225
00:16:46,296 --> 00:16:47,673
Oh,

226
00:16:47,756 --> 00:16:49,883
-that's a laptop.
-Yes. I used it for the longest time

227
00:16:49,967 --> 00:16:51,593
but got a new computer just recently.

228
00:16:51,677 --> 00:16:54,471
-Okay.
-I dripped nail polish

229
00:16:54,555 --> 00:16:55,848
-all over it.
-Okay.

230
00:16:59,685 --> 00:17:03,439
My work is also heavily influenced
by Keiichi Tanaami's style.

231
00:17:03,522 --> 00:17:04,857
I see.

232
00:17:04,940 --> 00:17:07,151
This artist too.

233
00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:11,155
-He represents multi-genre art.
-Yes.

234
00:17:11,238 --> 00:17:12,865
-Incredible.
-Yeah.

235
00:17:14,658 --> 00:17:18,078
"Tokyo Chaotic"

236
00:17:20,164 --> 00:17:26,503
is a concept I base my work on often.

237
00:17:28,297 --> 00:17:31,008
There are people

238
00:17:31,091 --> 00:17:35,721
from various cultures and backgrounds.

239
00:17:36,430 --> 00:17:40,350
I want to affirm the perspectives

240
00:17:41,226 --> 00:17:42,728
of all the various ideas.

241
00:17:44,146 --> 00:17:47,941
I think this is also true
of my current project.

242
00:17:49,568 --> 00:17:50,903
I consciously try

243
00:17:51,653 --> 00:17:56,617
to create a place
for communication with people whose values

244
00:17:56,700 --> 00:18:00,662
are different from mine in my music.

245
00:18:00,746 --> 00:18:02,664
I don't want to shut anyone out.

246
00:18:03,499 --> 00:18:07,211
I hope to accept people as they are.

247
00:18:34,530 --> 00:18:39,243
{\an8}SEPTEMBER 22, 2020

248
00:18:41,286 --> 00:18:43,747
<i>Today was King Gnu's recording.</i>

249
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:50,921
It's the first release

250
00:18:52,131 --> 00:18:53,924
for King Gnu this year.

251
00:18:54,466 --> 00:18:57,886
I feel the fan's expectations on my back.

252
00:18:58,929 --> 00:19:03,267
The pandemic started just as
we were preparing for a tour.

253
00:19:03,934 --> 00:19:05,644
I can't wait for the pandemic to end.

254
00:19:05,727 --> 00:19:09,439
I believe we are still
moving forward with our autumn tour.

255
00:19:09,523 --> 00:19:10,357
Yeah.

256
00:19:11,984 --> 00:19:15,863
His playing style
evolved with his hairstyle.

257
00:19:15,946 --> 00:19:17,114
It's much more mature!

258
00:19:19,241 --> 00:19:23,245
{\an8}DRUMMER: YU SEKI

259
00:19:23,328 --> 00:19:26,290
{\an8}<i>It has been six months
since they last recorded together.</i>

260
00:19:30,711 --> 00:19:31,920
When did you cut your hair?

261
00:19:32,004 --> 00:19:34,047
-Yesterday.
-Wow.

262
00:19:34,131 --> 00:19:36,758
The front part looks very interesting.

263
00:19:36,842 --> 00:19:38,302
I agree, the front
of my hair is kind of long.

264
00:19:38,385 --> 00:19:39,595
It looks worse when I let it down.

265
00:19:40,888 --> 00:19:41,722
And the sides?

266
00:19:41,805 --> 00:19:43,098
It looks normal if I tuck it.

267
00:19:44,183 --> 00:19:46,393
No, it's definitely not normal-looking.

268
00:19:46,476 --> 00:19:48,604
Oh, isn't it passable?

269
00:20:18,008 --> 00:20:20,010
What are you typing?

270
00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:25,849
I'm typing rhyming words.

271
00:20:25,933 --> 00:20:26,767
Okay.

272
00:20:27,643 --> 00:20:31,188
This song spits out words
machine gun-style.

273
00:20:31,897 --> 00:20:34,942
No matter how many words I come up with,

274
00:20:35,025 --> 00:20:35,943
it's not enough.

275
00:20:39,071 --> 00:20:41,657
<i>The words to the song they are recording</i>

276
00:20:41,740 --> 00:20:43,367
<i>weren't written yet.</i>

277
00:20:49,998 --> 00:20:53,335
The first verse surpassed my expectations.

278
00:20:56,296 --> 00:20:59,258
"The desire for life,"

279
00:21:00,259 --> 00:21:03,470
"the spark of life." Those are the themes.

280
00:21:06,098 --> 00:21:07,474
Well, now I'm embarrassed.

281
00:21:08,392 --> 00:21:10,185
Oh, well.

282
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:11,770
That's the idea.

283
00:21:11,853 --> 00:21:13,605
Really.

284
00:21:13,689 --> 00:21:15,983
-That's the rough idea.
-I'm embarrassed.

285
00:21:20,445 --> 00:21:23,573
{\an8}<i>He begins to explain the
last line of the verse.</i>

286
00:21:26,159 --> 00:21:29,746
{\an8}"Give me the antibodies."

287
00:21:29,830 --> 00:21:31,915
{\an8}We need to develop our immunity.

288
00:21:32,499 --> 00:21:34,793
Life will only get harder.

289
00:21:36,461 --> 00:21:39,840
I sure hope researchers

290
00:21:39,923 --> 00:21:41,216
are hard at work.

291
00:21:42,551 --> 00:21:43,427
Seriously.

292
00:21:44,219 --> 00:21:46,138
It's outside our realm.

293
00:21:48,724 --> 00:21:53,228
This is an earnest plea.

294
00:21:58,442 --> 00:21:59,985
You wouldn't have come up with it unless

295
00:22:00,068 --> 00:22:01,153
-this pandemic happened.
-Exactly.

296
00:22:03,155 --> 00:22:06,199
"Give me the antibodies
to live this life."

297
00:22:10,370 --> 00:22:12,247
What do you think?

298
00:22:12,331 --> 00:22:14,750
-Things are better--
-It seems so.

299
00:22:14,833 --> 00:22:17,919
That's for sure.

300
00:22:18,003 --> 00:22:22,257
But it is risky to sell too many tickets.

301
00:22:23,216 --> 00:22:24,384
What if we sell the tickets

302
00:22:24,468 --> 00:22:28,930
-and there's an outbreak the first night?
-And it gets canceled?

303
00:22:29,014 --> 00:22:30,515
What if one of us gets infected?

304
00:22:32,350 --> 00:22:35,103
There's a double meaning
to the line "give me the antibodies."

305
00:22:36,146 --> 00:22:39,316
We've created a song
about an earnest plea.

306
00:22:52,954 --> 00:22:55,791
I thought that was catchy.

307
00:22:58,418 --> 00:23:00,170
All good.

308
00:23:01,546 --> 00:23:03,632
-Are we done?
-Let's be done.

309
00:23:03,715 --> 00:23:05,926
-We are done early.
-Yeah.

310
00:23:06,009 --> 00:23:07,385
Yes.

311
00:23:07,469 --> 00:23:08,887
We've never finished this early.

312
00:23:17,521 --> 00:23:18,772
Do you want a ride?

313
00:23:30,784 --> 00:23:32,119
It's raining.

314
00:23:34,204 --> 00:23:36,081
It was cloudy all day.

315
00:23:36,164 --> 00:23:39,292
-Right. It's the end of summer.
-Yeah.

316
00:23:51,555 --> 00:23:52,889
<i>Tsuneta's car of choice</i>

317
00:23:52,973 --> 00:23:54,683
<i>is a domestic '70s model.</i>

318
00:23:58,019 --> 00:24:01,231
-I got my first car when I was around 20.
-Yeah.

319
00:24:02,899 --> 00:24:04,651
-It was a Rasheen.
-Oh, a Rasheen?

320
00:24:04,734 --> 00:24:05,819
When you were in your teens?

321
00:24:05,902 --> 00:24:08,196
-Oh, do you know it?
-Oh, definitely.

322
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,991
-We have the same taste!
-Right.

323
00:24:12,033 --> 00:24:15,036
Maintenance was expensive, so I let it go.

324
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:15,954
Yes.

325
00:24:16,496 --> 00:24:18,915
-When it needed inspection.
-Right.

326
00:24:19,875 --> 00:24:24,212
It's sad to let go of a car.

327
00:24:24,296 --> 00:24:26,590
It makes me want to make more money.

328
00:24:29,342 --> 00:24:33,597
-But I finally got another car
-Yeah.

329
00:24:34,931 --> 00:24:39,603
-just this year. It was about time.
-Yeah.

330
00:24:41,646 --> 00:24:45,984
But have you always wanted
to work with music?

331
00:24:46,818 --> 00:24:49,237
I couldn't imagine myself
doing anything else.

332
00:24:50,405 --> 00:24:54,492
I never considered
going into anything else.

333
00:24:57,871 --> 00:24:59,414
What do you say about getting food?

334
00:24:59,497 --> 00:25:00,457
Is that all right?

335
00:25:01,958 --> 00:25:04,169
Let's go somewhere cheap.

336
00:25:04,836 --> 00:25:07,297
-I can look it up.
-If you don't mind.

337
00:25:07,380 --> 00:25:08,340
-Okay.
-Okay.

338
00:25:10,091 --> 00:25:11,301
Thanks for the food.

339
00:25:13,887 --> 00:25:17,766
<i>Tsuneta says his favorite food
is egg over rice.</i>

340
00:25:22,020 --> 00:25:23,230
-Can I grab it?
-Sure.

341
00:25:25,273 --> 00:25:27,484
I don't know how to hold chopsticks.

342
00:25:28,818 --> 00:25:31,988
I never learned good manners.

343
00:25:32,572 --> 00:25:35,325
-Your family wasn't strict.
-Not at all.

344
00:25:37,410 --> 00:25:41,706
-One time, we were eating a bento meal
-Right.

345
00:25:42,499 --> 00:25:44,960
at a recording for Kenshi Yonezu.

346
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,006
Yonezu was shocked.
He asked if I'm from a civilized world.

347
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,220
That's how bad mine is.

348
00:25:59,266 --> 00:26:01,101
Ever since he pointed it out,

349
00:26:03,228 --> 00:26:05,188
I've been careful
of how I hold my chopsticks.

350
00:26:05,814 --> 00:26:06,648
Yeah.

351
00:26:06,731 --> 00:26:07,691
I've been practicing since.

352
00:26:08,483 --> 00:26:10,193
That's where I had to start.

353
00:26:25,542 --> 00:26:26,501
<i>10:00 p.m.</i>

354
00:26:27,460 --> 00:26:29,546
<i>Tsuneta does not head home</i>

355
00:26:29,629 --> 00:26:30,672
<i>but to his studio.</i>

356
00:26:41,308 --> 00:26:44,019
<i>He begins to work on the lyrics once more.</i>

357
00:27:56,132 --> 00:27:58,051
<i>He destroys</i>

358
00:27:58,593 --> 00:28:00,011
<i>the melody he created once again.</i>

359
00:28:09,396 --> 00:28:11,523
<i>Repeating a haphazard play</i>

360
00:28:11,606 --> 00:28:16,319
<i>Always forcing the plot
Cobbling life together</i>

361
00:28:16,945 --> 00:28:23,284
<i>The end of the maze is just the beginning</i>

362
00:28:31,626 --> 00:28:33,962
The B melody needs more work.

363
00:28:34,045 --> 00:28:37,632
-Yeah.
-I'm thinking of changing up the melody.

364
00:28:38,717 --> 00:28:39,592
What about the lyrics?

365
00:28:40,635 --> 00:28:42,011
-That too.
-Yeah.

366
00:29:07,912 --> 00:29:13,251
<i>A cheap novel…</i>

367
00:29:28,683 --> 00:29:35,523
{\an8}SEPTEMBER 26, 2020

368
00:29:36,524 --> 00:29:37,692
This is hard.

369
00:29:37,776 --> 00:29:38,902
{\an8}VOCALIST: SATORU IGUCHI

370
00:29:38,985 --> 00:29:41,529
{\an8}<i>Now sing and dance like you've gone mad</i>

371
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,657
{\an8}It's tricky. It's hard to get it perfect.

372
00:29:44,741 --> 00:29:46,534
-Let's start
<i>-Now sing and dance…</i>

373
00:29:46,618 --> 00:29:49,162
-the chorus on B.
-Okay.

374
00:29:51,998 --> 00:29:53,458
<i>Tsuneta said he finished up the lyrics</i>

375
00:29:53,541 --> 00:29:55,335
<i>just this morning.</i>

376
00:29:55,418 --> 00:29:59,047
"STAR OF THE SHOW"

377
00:30:01,049 --> 00:30:03,718
<i>I want you and I to be in love</i>

378
00:30:03,802 --> 00:30:07,263
<i>A business selling whatever you want
Regret is nothing but a pain</i>

379
00:30:07,347 --> 00:30:12,435
<i>Give me the antibodies to live this life
This unrefined life</i>

380
00:30:13,269 --> 00:30:14,479
Oh, that's fast.

381
00:30:14,562 --> 00:30:16,439
Very fast.

382
00:30:17,732 --> 00:30:19,067
Hey, about the line here.

383
00:30:19,150 --> 00:30:21,861
What if we change it

384
00:30:21,945 --> 00:30:23,530
to "this raw and unrefined life"?

385
00:30:23,613 --> 00:30:25,031
"Raw and unrefined life"?

386
00:30:25,114 --> 00:30:26,449
Switch the lyrics around.

387
00:30:26,533 --> 00:30:29,452
Yes, and add "raw and unrefined."

388
00:30:29,536 --> 00:30:30,620
All right.

389
00:30:30,703 --> 00:30:31,746
"Raw and unrefined life."

390
00:30:35,291 --> 00:30:37,627
Try to sing more dynamically than usual.

391
00:30:37,710 --> 00:30:38,670
All right.

392
00:30:40,088 --> 00:30:41,047
Yeah.

393
00:30:41,130 --> 00:30:45,134
<i>A business selling whatever you want
Regret is nothing but a pain</i>

394
00:30:45,218 --> 00:30:47,720
<i>Give me the antibodies to live this life
This raw and unrefined life</i>

395
00:30:51,641 --> 00:30:55,562
<i>Give me the antibodies </i>

396
00:30:55,645 --> 00:30:58,022
<i>To live this life
This raw and unrefined life</i>

397
00:30:58,731 --> 00:31:00,567
Is that better?

398
00:31:00,650 --> 00:31:01,693
<i>Nothing but a pain</i>

399
00:31:02,193 --> 00:31:03,903
<i>Nothing but a pain</i>

400
00:31:03,987 --> 00:31:04,988
Do you want to change it?

401
00:31:05,071 --> 00:31:06,406
I can sing it.

402
00:31:07,699 --> 00:31:10,034
<i>Regret is nothing but a pain</i>

403
00:31:11,452 --> 00:31:12,620
-Here.
-All right.

404
00:31:13,413 --> 00:31:17,208
<i>A business selling whatever you want
Regret is nothing but a pain</i>

405
00:31:17,292 --> 00:31:22,297
<i>Give me the antibodies to live this life
This raw and unrefined life</i>

406
00:31:24,382 --> 00:31:26,092
Can you accentuate more?

407
00:31:26,175 --> 00:31:27,927
I don't know about that.

408
00:31:30,138 --> 00:31:32,348
<i>A business selling whatever you want
Regret is nothing but a pain</i>

409
00:31:32,432 --> 00:31:37,312
<i>Give me the antibodies to live this life
This raw and unrefined life</i>

410
00:31:39,606 --> 00:31:40,648
-That was good.
-Yes.

411
00:31:44,527 --> 00:31:47,155
What if we make this the chorus?

412
00:31:49,866 --> 00:31:53,661
-You are keeping the title.
-Yes.

413
00:31:53,745 --> 00:31:55,246
From "A Cheap Novel"
to the "Star of the Show."

414
00:31:55,330 --> 00:31:56,664
They share a theme.

415
00:31:57,248 --> 00:31:59,918
How should I put it…

416
00:32:02,170 --> 00:32:05,131
These are upbeat songs.

417
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,134
Those are very important to King Gnu.

418
00:32:08,217 --> 00:32:10,428
Our band is about live concerts.

419
00:32:12,263 --> 00:32:15,934
Songs that sound better live.

420
00:32:16,017 --> 00:32:19,771
That's a core trait of our band.

421
00:32:20,688 --> 00:32:23,232
That's very important to us.

422
00:32:24,317 --> 00:32:28,112
I believe this song will be
one of the fan favorites.

423
00:32:32,367 --> 00:32:34,577
I want to hear you talk like Yosui.

424
00:32:34,661 --> 00:32:35,495
Can you do that?

425
00:32:36,371 --> 00:32:37,789
Is your stomach

426
00:32:38,748 --> 00:32:40,208
full of mommy's cooking?

427
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:43,836
-Did you get enough?
-Oh…

428
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,505
Oh, you changed your voice.

429
00:32:45,588 --> 00:32:47,799
Will you find a use for this track?

430
00:32:47,882 --> 00:32:50,301
Isn't this recording pointless?

431
00:32:50,385 --> 00:32:53,554
-I'm sure we'll find a use for it somehow.
-I highly doubt that.

432
00:32:56,349 --> 00:32:57,850
<i>This happened during a break.</i>

433
00:32:59,811 --> 00:33:01,020
We have to cut our tour down
to a smaller scale.

434
00:33:01,604 --> 00:33:03,356
Why's that?

435
00:33:03,439 --> 00:33:05,900
-Is the situation getting worse?
-Not that, but

436
00:33:05,984 --> 00:33:07,652
-there are more risks than before.
-Yeah.

437
00:33:09,487 --> 00:33:11,489
We'll only go to Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka.

438
00:33:12,490 --> 00:33:14,200
Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka?

439
00:33:14,283 --> 00:33:15,451
We won't play in Sapporo.

440
00:33:15,535 --> 00:33:18,663
We won't play
in Sapporo, Fukuoka, and Sendai.

441
00:33:18,746 --> 00:33:19,580
Any of them?

442
00:33:22,917 --> 00:33:24,669
That's about 40,000 people.

443
00:33:24,752 --> 00:33:26,212
In a normal situation,

444
00:33:27,046 --> 00:33:28,840
we'd expect 100,000 tickets sold.

445
00:33:29,966 --> 00:33:30,883
That's half.

446
00:33:32,343 --> 00:33:33,344
Half?

447
00:33:34,762 --> 00:33:35,680
Half…

448
00:33:38,725 --> 00:33:39,559
Wow.

449
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:41,185
This sucks.

450
00:33:43,730 --> 00:33:44,814
How unfortunate.

451
00:33:57,910 --> 00:33:59,162
Well…

452
00:33:59,787 --> 00:34:00,705
Let's see.

453
00:34:00,788 --> 00:34:01,748
This year,

454
00:34:03,082 --> 00:34:06,210
-we were supposed to be on a roll.
-Yeah.

455
00:34:11,174 --> 00:34:12,133
Anyway,

456
00:34:14,010 --> 00:34:18,014
we can only do our best.

457
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,937
<i>Repeating a haphazard play
Always forcing the plot</i>

458
00:34:25,688 --> 00:34:29,776
<i>The end of the maze is just the beginning
A suspension bridge with nothing in hand</i>

459
00:34:29,859 --> 00:34:32,028
<i>Slipping as I drunkenly stagger</i>

460
00:34:32,862 --> 00:34:35,281
<i>One wrong move and it's over
Dead men tell no tales…</i>

461
00:34:38,951 --> 00:34:41,245
Songs are now written

462
00:34:41,329 --> 00:34:44,582
to be listened to privately at home.

463
00:34:44,665 --> 00:34:46,209
That's the current trend
of the Japanese music industry.

464
00:34:46,959 --> 00:34:51,464
When I create powerful songs like this,

465
00:34:52,507 --> 00:34:56,677
the listeners imagine listening
to them at a concert.

466
00:34:58,304 --> 00:35:02,975
My fans are starved for music.

467
00:35:05,853 --> 00:35:08,773
The pandemic has changed

468
00:35:09,524 --> 00:35:13,486
our perception of time in every regard.

469
00:35:14,570 --> 00:35:17,782
It's as if we are
in a cryogenic sleep of 2020.

470
00:35:18,908 --> 00:35:20,701
If we were to repeat

471
00:35:20,785 --> 00:35:22,787
2020 again next year,
it won't feel strange.

472
00:35:24,038 --> 00:35:28,334
It would actually feel right.

473
00:35:29,836 --> 00:35:30,670
Right?

474
00:35:33,589 --> 00:35:37,593
I wrote these powerful songs…

475
00:35:40,388 --> 00:35:45,601
for the world to keep moving forward.

476
00:35:46,853 --> 00:35:49,230
I'm doing this instinctively.

477
00:35:49,981 --> 00:35:52,942
I'm doing what I can…

478
00:35:55,945 --> 00:35:57,155
to keep the time ticking.

479
00:35:59,824 --> 00:36:02,577
That's what I'm trying to do.

480
00:36:07,331 --> 00:36:10,918
<i>On the stage of a lifetime
It doesn't matter if you're famous or not</i>

481
00:36:11,002 --> 00:36:14,714
<i>Make me feel exhilarated
I want you and I to be in love</i>

482
00:36:14,797 --> 00:36:18,467
<i>A business selling whatever you want
Regret is nothing but a pain</i>

483
00:36:18,551 --> 00:36:23,931
<i>Give me the antibodies to live this life
This raw and unrefined life</i>

484
00:36:24,515 --> 00:36:25,349
-One more time.
-Okay.

485
00:36:26,184 --> 00:36:29,604
<i>Give me the antibodies to live this life
This raw and unrefined life</i>

486
00:36:29,687 --> 00:36:31,314
One more time!

487
00:36:31,397 --> 00:36:34,609
<i>Give me the antibodies to live this life
This raw and unrefined life</i>

488
00:36:47,413 --> 00:36:50,041
<i>There is a place
that he considers his origin.</i>

489
00:37:06,098 --> 00:37:06,974
Let's go.

490
00:37:09,894 --> 00:37:13,189
<i>He moved from Nagano,
his birthplace, when he was 18</i>

491
00:37:13,272 --> 00:37:16,275
<i>and lived here for seven years
with his grandmother.</i>

492
00:37:18,778 --> 00:37:21,781
{\an8}HIS GRANDMOTHER HAS
ALREADY PASSED AWAY.

493
00:37:21,864 --> 00:37:24,325
{\an8}THIS HOUSE HAS BEEN
VACANT FOR THREE YEARS.

494
00:37:27,203 --> 00:37:29,747
Aren't these paintings nice?

495
00:37:32,959 --> 00:37:35,044
My grandmother was an artist.

496
00:37:36,671 --> 00:37:37,964
She designed outfits.

497
00:37:38,047 --> 00:37:41,050
She was such a character.

498
00:37:41,968 --> 00:37:44,262
I think she resembles me the most.

499
00:37:47,348 --> 00:37:50,184
Whoa, an award for Grandfather.

500
00:37:51,394 --> 00:37:53,104
{\an8}He made TVs.

501
00:37:53,187 --> 00:37:54,021
{\an8}Color TVs.

502
00:37:54,105 --> 00:37:56,190
{\an8}HIS GRANDFATHER WAS AN ENGINEER
AND DEVELOPED COLOR TVS.

503
00:37:56,274 --> 00:37:58,317
{\an8}Wow, I didn't know we had this.

504
00:37:58,401 --> 00:37:59,610
{\an8}Is it okay to just leave this in here?

505
00:38:02,613 --> 00:38:04,573
What kind of meals did you eat with her?

506
00:38:05,241 --> 00:38:08,369
She'd give me canned cat food
by mistake at times.

507
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,206
She mixed it up with canned tuna

508
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:13,416
and she'd buy them at the store.

509
00:38:15,293 --> 00:38:16,877
I'd tell her it's cat food.

510
00:38:18,504 --> 00:38:20,214
We can't eat it.

511
00:38:20,298 --> 00:38:23,634
But we ate it anyway. It wasn't that bad.

512
00:38:28,931 --> 00:38:33,060
This neighborhood
has always been, you know…

513
00:38:33,144 --> 00:38:33,978
Yeah.

514
00:38:34,687 --> 00:38:35,980
How do I say this?

515
00:38:36,981 --> 00:38:38,691
They all know each other.

516
00:38:40,234 --> 00:38:43,154
I played music for them.

517
00:38:45,197 --> 00:38:47,825
I played for everyone here.

518
00:38:47,908 --> 00:38:48,743
Yeah.

519
00:38:49,285 --> 00:38:51,454
My friends would come over

520
00:38:51,537 --> 00:38:53,539
and we'd hold rehearsals here.

521
00:38:53,622 --> 00:38:55,291
We'd do stuff like that.

522
00:38:56,042 --> 00:39:00,046
This was long before forming King Gnu.

523
00:39:00,129 --> 00:39:00,963
Yeah.

524
00:39:02,256 --> 00:39:06,177
I wonder if it was here
where I started creating music seriously.

525
00:39:06,761 --> 00:39:07,678
Yeah.

526
00:39:10,639 --> 00:39:14,393
My father lived here
at one point, I think.

527
00:39:23,402 --> 00:39:25,154
I'm seeing this for the first time.

528
00:39:28,282 --> 00:39:30,826
These are my parents' wedding pictures.

529
00:39:30,910 --> 00:39:32,328
My mother and father.

530
00:39:36,791 --> 00:39:37,750
Oh, there's my grandmother.

531
00:39:39,043 --> 00:39:41,045
{\an8}MOTHER, FATHER,
GRANDMOTHER, GRANDFATHER

532
00:39:41,128 --> 00:39:43,589
{\an8}-You lived here with your grandmother.
-Correct.

533
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,636
I look like my grandfather…

534
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,554
<i>Both of his parents play the piano.</i>

535
00:39:51,305 --> 00:39:54,266
<i>His home was full of instruments
like the guitar and bass guitars.</i>

536
00:39:57,144 --> 00:39:58,813
<i>He didn't need formal lessons.</i>

537
00:39:59,397 --> 00:40:01,774
<i>Tsuneta picked up
one instrument at a time.</i>

538
00:40:07,029 --> 00:40:09,949
{\an8}He hasn't changed

539
00:40:10,032 --> 00:40:11,867
{\an8}ever since I met him in junior high.

540
00:40:11,951 --> 00:40:17,540
{\an8}He's always pursued
the very best in his music.

541
00:40:17,623 --> 00:40:20,876
It was like a music club.

542
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:21,836
Oh, I see.

543
00:40:22,420 --> 00:40:25,798
He was the leader. He was strict.

544
00:40:28,134 --> 00:40:29,677
Even if the finished song

545
00:40:30,177 --> 00:40:32,054
was nearly flawless, he did not
let go of a single imperfection.

546
00:40:32,638 --> 00:40:34,640
He hates leaving things unfinished.

547
00:40:36,475 --> 00:40:39,895
This might make him sound strict,

548
00:40:39,979 --> 00:40:41,313
but he's just an honest man.

549
00:40:42,731 --> 00:40:45,568
I couldn't get along with others.

550
00:40:45,651 --> 00:40:47,570
Of course, I had
a few friends but just that.

551
00:40:48,571 --> 00:40:51,323
We formed a band
and I taught them how to play instruments.

552
00:40:51,407 --> 00:40:52,867
I even taught drums.

553
00:40:53,576 --> 00:40:55,286
We performed at the school festival.

554
00:40:57,496 --> 00:40:59,248
We played original songs.

555
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:06,547
But I couldn't win
the heart of the audience then.

556
00:41:07,214 --> 00:41:08,507
We were out of place.

557
00:41:12,428 --> 00:41:14,472
<i>He entered Tokyo University of Arts</i>

558
00:41:14,555 --> 00:41:16,515
<i>to further pursue his musical career.</i>

559
00:41:17,516 --> 00:41:18,893
<i>Tsuneta was a cellist for an orchestra</i>

560
00:41:18,976 --> 00:41:21,103
<i>led by Seiji Ozawa,
an internationally acclaimed conductor.</i>

561
00:41:22,229 --> 00:41:23,898
<i>This was a turning point for Tsuneta.</i>

562
00:41:27,359 --> 00:41:29,904
It was such a moving experience.

563
00:41:30,696 --> 00:41:32,698
I could never forget that sensation.

564
00:41:33,491 --> 00:41:36,410
The concert hall filled
with sound and the audience.

565
00:41:36,494 --> 00:41:38,329
The expressions of the conductor.

566
00:41:38,412 --> 00:41:41,040
The sound echoed in the hall.

567
00:41:41,123 --> 00:41:42,333
The experience has shaped

568
00:41:42,416 --> 00:41:47,755
what I consider to be beautiful music.

569
00:41:47,838 --> 00:41:48,672
However,

570
00:41:49,632 --> 00:41:55,971
I've always been drawn to art

571
00:41:57,890 --> 00:42:04,271
because it's about changing conventions.

572
00:42:06,190 --> 00:42:10,110
It's a process
of destruction and creation.

573
00:42:15,991 --> 00:42:18,160
<i>He left the university after a year.</i>

574
00:42:21,622 --> 00:42:22,456
Look at that.

575
00:42:23,332 --> 00:42:25,167
{\an8}The mirror ball
is the only thing remaining.

576
00:42:25,251 --> 00:42:27,586
{\an8}TSUNETA'S OLD ROOM

577
00:42:27,670 --> 00:42:30,297
I wanted to liven up my room.

578
00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:33,759
<i>He learned the process</i>

579
00:42:33,842 --> 00:42:36,220
<i>of destruction and creation in this room,</i>

580
00:42:36,303 --> 00:42:38,305
<i>finding his own musical style.</i>

581
00:42:38,931 --> 00:42:40,182
Yeah…

582
00:42:41,684 --> 00:42:45,563
<i>We found a demo recording Tsuneta sent
to a record label back then.</i>

583
00:42:50,943 --> 00:42:57,950
{\an8}MUSIC CREATED BY TSUNETA
WHEN HE WAS 19

584
00:43:10,754 --> 00:43:12,506
{\an8}<i>I thought the sound was edgy.</i>

585
00:43:12,590 --> 00:43:13,757
{\an8}MINORU TAGUCHI
FORMER TALENT SCOUT, SONY MUSIC

586
00:43:13,841 --> 00:43:16,468
{\an8}<i>It's the final unadulterated cry of youth.</i>

587
00:43:17,595 --> 00:43:21,432
<i>But it was difficult as a record label</i>

588
00:43:21,515 --> 00:43:24,018
<i>to find ways
to make his talent profitable for us.</i>

589
00:43:51,670 --> 00:43:52,880
When I was around 20,

590
00:43:52,963 --> 00:43:54,965
I sent my music to a record label.

591
00:43:56,050 --> 00:43:59,637
They said it sounds awesome,

592
00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:01,639
but it's not profitable.

593
00:44:02,222 --> 00:44:03,390
That's what they said to me.

594
00:44:03,474 --> 00:44:07,519
My music did not follow
the popular J-pop pattern.

595
00:44:10,105 --> 00:44:12,733
That's what the person
from the label said.

596
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:17,237
I remember

597
00:44:18,322 --> 00:44:20,449
not being able to accept that answer.

598
00:44:22,451 --> 00:44:26,121
I researched the history
of music seriously.

599
00:44:27,623 --> 00:44:29,083
I had to think about
the instruments seriously too.

600
00:44:30,167 --> 00:44:31,877
I asked myself,

601
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,796
"Why isn't my music valued in the world?"

602
00:44:34,463 --> 00:44:37,216
I had pride as a musician as well.

603
00:44:38,217 --> 00:44:39,843
I never thought the public's opinion

604
00:44:40,552 --> 00:44:43,889
defined my artistic abilities.

605
00:44:46,225 --> 00:44:47,601
And I knew

606
00:44:47,685 --> 00:44:50,938
I couldn't lie to my music.

607
00:44:54,441 --> 00:44:55,567
That's my life's philosophy.

608
00:44:57,694 --> 00:44:58,654
That's why

609
00:44:59,238 --> 00:45:01,407
I had to do this my own way.

610
00:45:01,490 --> 00:45:04,410
I had to gain
the public's approval of my music.

611
00:45:08,747 --> 00:45:10,958
<i>He doesn't want to create music
according to expectations.</i>

612
00:45:11,959 --> 00:45:12,876
<i>That's why</i>

613
00:45:13,585 --> 00:45:15,587
<i>he wants to gain
the public's approval of his unique music.</i>

614
00:45:20,509 --> 00:45:26,265
This is the plating of a drum.

615
00:45:27,474 --> 00:45:28,976
A drum's top plate.

616
00:45:31,061 --> 00:45:34,356
I wanted to paint it

617
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:35,816
and draw the logo on it.

618
00:45:36,567 --> 00:45:40,154
I got scolded
for getting the spray paint on the house.

619
00:45:48,662 --> 00:45:50,914
<i>Over time, the others
who share the same dreams</i>

620
00:45:50,998 --> 00:45:54,001
<i>began to gather by Tsuneta's side.</i>

621
00:45:54,626 --> 00:45:56,295
"LOW LOVE"

622
00:45:57,296 --> 00:46:00,966
{\an8}I wanted to create really awesome music.

623
00:46:01,049 --> 00:46:03,177
Like, he sacrifices himself for his music.

624
00:46:03,260 --> 00:46:05,512
It may not be that serious

625
00:46:06,430 --> 00:46:07,598
but it sounded like fun.

626
00:46:08,348 --> 00:46:09,183
And it's cool.

627
00:46:09,766 --> 00:46:13,770
<i>I've never met anyone like him in my life.</i>

628
00:46:13,854 --> 00:46:15,564
<i>That's why I wanted to get involved.</i>

629
00:46:16,273 --> 00:46:20,944
<i>The mark left by a rusted ring</i>

630
00:46:21,028 --> 00:46:25,199
<i>"Looks like we'll share the pain"
Hiding our bruises</i>

00:46:25,282 --> 00:46:31,914
<i>While we continue to live

632
00:46:31,997 --> 00:46:35,626
<i>"You're such an adult, aren't you?"
With a hint of sarcasm</i>

633
00:46:35,709 --> 00:46:37,419
<i>We attract each other</i>

634
00:46:37,503 --> 00:46:41,840
<i>You should stay a bit</i>

635
00:46:41,924 --> 00:46:47,596
<i>"This is the only place
You belong, right?"</i>

636
00:46:47,679 --> 00:46:51,808
<i>Take all these tasteless things</i>

637
00:46:51,892 --> 00:46:56,355
<i>And destroy them in a "seizure"</i>

638
00:46:56,438 --> 00:46:59,691
<i>In a "seizure"</i>

00:47:00,901 --> 00:47:01,735
<i>Still…</i>

Come on.

649
00:48:32,951 --> 00:48:35,078
Why did you suddenly
take a picture of him?

650
00:48:35,996 --> 00:48:38,206
Well, isn't it normal

651
00:48:38,290 --> 00:48:40,751
to want a picture of someone you love?

652
00:48:40,834 --> 00:48:44,212
Isn't that right?

653
00:48:44,296 --> 00:48:45,339
It's the same.

654
00:48:46,214 --> 00:48:47,299
I like him outside of work.

655
00:48:50,427 --> 00:48:52,596
We are like a gang of delinquents.

656
00:48:53,972 --> 00:48:55,057
Sure.

657
00:48:55,140 --> 00:49:00,187
As for me, there was a time

658
00:49:00,270 --> 00:49:03,732
when I needed to gain strength for myself.

659
00:49:03,815 --> 00:49:06,652
He creates a family.

660
00:49:07,194 --> 00:49:10,447
He's been doing this
with his gang for a long time.

661
00:49:11,865 --> 00:49:12,741
There aren't many

662
00:49:13,408 --> 00:49:17,204
who can commit
to something like that over the years.

663
00:49:18,288 --> 00:49:19,331
Yeah.

664
00:49:19,414 --> 00:49:21,375
That's what attracted me to him.

665
00:49:22,417 --> 00:49:24,127
Thank you.

666
00:49:24,211 --> 00:49:25,212

<i>It is to incorporate orchestra
and modern music into one.</i>

It would be interesting

674
00:50:22,769 --> 00:50:25,522
if we could create an innovative sound
that no one's heard before.

675
00:50:26,189 --> 00:50:27,816
A song that incorporates beautiful

676
00:50:28,608 --> 00:50:29,651
and unpleasant sounds all the same.

677
00:50:32,237 --> 00:50:35,157
I wish to incorporate them all.

678
00:50:35,240 --> 00:50:39,077
I mean, isn't that life?

679
00:50:39,161 --> 00:50:42,914
Something that is filthy, yet beautiful.

680
00:50:42,998 --> 00:50:45,375

Not this one.

All right. One, two, and three.

690
00:56:42,315 --> 00:56:43,274

00:57:10,093 --> 00:57:12,095
It's very cool.

695
00:57:13,138 --> 00:57:15,223

00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:38,848
We gathered at Gusto.

710
00:58:38,932 --> 00:58:42,060
-Until the morning.
-We stayed until 5 a.m.,

711
00:58:42,143 --> 00:58:44,103
then Gusto would close,
so we'd go to a Manga Cafe nearby.

712
00:58:44,187 --> 00:58:45,897
It was quite hellish.

713
00:58:47,649 --> 00:58:49,734
Then we'd go back to Gusto.

714
00:58:49,817 --> 00:58:50,985
Once Gusto opens in the morning, that is.

715
00:58:52,570 --> 00:58:55,031
Looking back on that,

716
00:58:55,949 --> 00:58:58,117
we've really come a long way.

717
00:58:58,201 --> 00:59:00,411
We really have.

718
00:59:00,495 --> 00:59:03,706
We always ate shrimp and tomato spaghetti.

719
00:59:05,708 --> 00:59:06,751
I'll let you know.

720
00:59:07,794 --> 00:59:09,087
Time to go back.

721
00:59:18,972 --> 00:59:22,850
{\an8}OCTOBER 12, 2020

722
00:59:32,402 --> 00:59:33,778
Let's start from the start.

723
00:59:40,201 --> 00:59:43,538
<i>Tsuneta now begins
to adjust DURA's sound balance.</i>

724
01:00:02,765 --> 01:00:03,641
Hold on.

725
01:00:05,143 --> 01:00:08,396
How does it sound
when it's inserted into the chain?

726
01:00:08,479 --> 01:00:10,273
-In the drama.
-In the drama?

727
01:00:16,154 --> 01:00:17,488
<i>From here on,</i>

728
01:00:17,572 --> 01:00:20,241
<i>Tsuneta will make adjustments
by instrument.</i>

729
01:00:22,994 --> 01:00:25,955
I want another track.

730
01:00:26,706 --> 01:00:27,665
What can I add?

731
01:00:28,499 --> 01:00:30,543
The entire section

732
01:00:30,627 --> 01:00:31,919
will be back-breaking work.

733
01:00:34,631 --> 01:00:37,383
How many instruments are in use already?

734
01:00:38,509 --> 01:00:39,385
How many?

735
01:00:40,345 --> 01:00:41,929
How many tracks are there?

736
01:00:42,013 --> 01:00:43,640
About 150.

737
01:00:45,099 --> 01:00:47,101
Is this normal for you?

738
01:00:47,185 --> 01:00:48,394
No, not at all.

739
01:00:48,478 --> 01:00:50,021
This is unusual.

740
01:00:50,104 --> 01:00:51,230
It's quite rare.

741
01:01:01,741 --> 01:01:04,327
The top annoys me,
but I like the bottom track.

742
01:01:04,410 --> 01:01:05,620
I'll get rid of the top.

743
01:01:06,954 --> 01:01:09,415
We might as well swap the effects.

744
01:01:13,628 --> 01:01:17,799
<i>He now wants to switch the recorded music.</i>

745
01:01:23,137 --> 01:01:25,264
This one's nice.

746
01:01:27,100 --> 01:01:27,934
Here.

747
01:01:35,775 --> 01:01:38,319
-Thanks.
-It's almost there.

748
01:01:39,278 --> 01:01:41,739
We wouldn't have had this
with that assembly.

749
01:01:42,573 --> 01:01:45,952
I like the footing and the echo.

750
01:01:46,994 --> 01:01:47,829
What to do now?

751
01:02:10,059 --> 01:02:13,187
What if we just play the hook?

752
01:02:15,064 --> 01:02:21,779
I've always created
this sort of mixed music.

753
01:02:21,863 --> 01:02:24,615
But it's difficult to perfect.

754
01:02:25,575 --> 01:02:26,993
I haven't had many cases

755
01:02:27,076 --> 01:02:28,703
where I was satisfied with the result.

756
01:02:30,413 --> 01:02:31,789
If one is overpowering,

757
01:02:31,873 --> 01:02:35,209
the other one is suppressed.

758
01:02:36,627 --> 01:02:38,713
It's quite laborsome.

759
01:02:41,966 --> 01:02:43,092
Anyway, well,

760
01:02:44,594 --> 01:02:45,636
can we try another song?

761
01:02:47,472 --> 01:02:48,389
Sorry, okay.

762
01:02:51,350 --> 01:02:55,688
<i>The deadline for millennium parade's
first album is impending.</i>

763
01:03:00,276 --> 01:03:03,905
{\an8}OCTOBER 21, 2020
"A CHEAP NOVEL"

764
01:03:03,988 --> 01:03:05,406
{\an8}<i>It is now the end of October.</i>

765
01:03:05,490 --> 01:03:07,784
{\an8}<i>They film the music video.</i>

766
01:03:07,867 --> 01:03:11,704
<i>Have saved me</i>

767
01:03:18,044 --> 01:03:19,045
Let's check.

768
01:03:19,128 --> 01:03:21,172
-No time to stop.
-All right.

769
01:03:22,215 --> 01:03:23,299
What's next?

770
01:03:23,382 --> 01:03:24,425
{\an8}<i>PERIMETRON's OSRIN, who has collaborated</i>

771
01:03:24,509 --> 01:03:27,512
{\an8}<i>with Tsuneta over the years,
directs the music video.</i>

772
01:03:35,394 --> 01:03:36,896
<i>During the break,</i>

773
01:03:36,979 --> 01:03:39,565
<i>Tsuneta shares his feedback
on the recording.</i>

774
01:03:40,566 --> 01:03:41,692
I wanted to ask about the gold confetti.

775
01:03:41,776 --> 01:03:43,611
-Huh?
-The confetti.

776
01:03:43,694 --> 01:03:45,530
-The gold confetti?
-Yes.

777
01:03:45,613 --> 01:03:47,198
I'd like to use gold confetti at the end.

778
01:03:48,449 --> 01:03:51,202
<i>OSRIN had planned to use gold confetti</i>

779
01:03:51,285 --> 01:03:52,620
<i>at the climax of the music video.</i>

780
01:03:53,788 --> 01:03:54,747
What do you think?

781
01:03:56,582 --> 01:03:59,919
We kept the entire music video
quite simple.

782
01:04:00,002 --> 01:04:01,128
Gold confetti may not fit the theme.

783
01:04:01,754 --> 01:04:02,672
Oh, come on.

784
01:04:03,464 --> 01:04:04,715
How will you drop the confetti?

785
01:04:04,799 --> 01:04:05,925
I do have a plan.

786
01:04:06,968 --> 01:04:08,594
We can use that.

787
01:04:10,596 --> 01:04:12,265
We have equipment for the stage.

788
01:04:13,933 --> 01:04:17,395
That may be good to use.

789
01:04:18,729 --> 01:04:20,523
<i>Despite Tsuneta's objections,</i>

790
01:04:20,606 --> 01:04:22,900
<i>OSRIN sticks through
with the golden confetti.</i>

791
01:04:25,319 --> 01:04:26,404
Thank you.

792
01:04:28,739 --> 01:04:29,740
How do I say this?

793
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,452
He says things like,

794
01:04:33,536 --> 01:04:34,996
"Let's not use the gold confetti."

795
01:04:35,705 --> 01:04:38,958
Most directors would
halt its use when the artist objects,

796
01:04:40,751 --> 01:04:42,420
but not me.

797
01:04:45,423 --> 01:04:46,257
That's because

798
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,511
we have a good relationship.

799
01:04:52,471 --> 01:04:54,682
Though we all have different roles,

800
01:04:54,765 --> 01:04:56,350
we share the same solitude in our work.

801
01:04:57,143 --> 01:04:59,061
I can't help him make his music,

802
01:04:59,145 --> 01:05:00,938
and he can't help us with the video.

803
01:05:02,356 --> 01:05:03,983
We all support each other.

804
01:05:12,742 --> 01:05:14,035
<i>This song is a ballad</i>

805
01:05:14,118 --> 01:05:17,079
<i>about a man
who writes novels that do not sell</i>

806
01:05:17,163 --> 01:05:19,957
<i>and his wife who believes in him.</i>

807
01:05:23,961 --> 01:05:25,338
All right,

808
01:05:25,421 --> 01:05:26,631
we are rolling.

809
01:05:30,176 --> 01:05:31,928
<i>Tsuneta's lyrics</i>

810
01:05:32,011 --> 01:05:34,013
<i>seem to convey his conviction</i>

811
01:05:34,096 --> 01:05:38,184
<i>as they held steadfast
to their creative process.</i>

812
01:05:46,776 --> 01:05:49,236
<i>Even if this life</i>

813
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:52,156
<i>Ended up as a cheap novel</i>

814
01:05:52,239 --> 01:05:54,492
<i>I have no plans of throwing it out</i>

815
01:05:54,575 --> 01:05:57,787
<i>I'll rewrite it
However many times it takes</i>

816
01:06:08,714 --> 01:06:13,469
<i>In order to face our truths</i>

817
01:06:13,552 --> 01:06:19,684
<i>Sometimes we have no choice
But to be alone</i>

818
01:06:19,767 --> 01:06:24,313
<i>Even though I know it's a mistake</i>

819
01:06:24,397 --> 01:06:30,486
<i>There's a story I still want to tell</i>

820
01:06:31,070 --> 01:06:34,949
<i>A script full of nonsense</i>

821
01:06:35,032 --> 01:06:41,998
<i>Told through terrible acting
And it's all I need</i>

822
01:06:42,081 --> 01:06:47,336
<i>Your clumsy expressions</i>

823
01:06:47,420 --> 01:06:50,256
<i>And awkward words</i>

824
01:06:50,339 --> 01:06:54,260
<i>Have saved me</i>

825
01:06:54,343 --> 01:06:56,929
<i>Standing alone that day</i>

826
01:06:57,013 --> 01:07:00,641
<i>A back hunched down in shame</i>

827
01:07:00,725 --> 01:07:04,895
<i>If it was now, I would push it up straight</i>

828
01:07:04,979 --> 01:07:07,857
<i>No matter my stupid expressions</i>

829
01:07:07,940 --> 01:07:12,028
<i>Or awkward words</i>

830
01:07:12,111 --> 01:07:16,198
<i>You're still next to me, smiling</i>

831
01:07:18,409 --> 01:07:19,368
Thank you!

832
01:07:20,911 --> 01:07:23,831
That was wonderful! Thank you!

833
01:07:34,300 --> 01:07:38,012
Where I am very blessed

834
01:07:39,346 --> 01:07:42,683
is that there's a team

835
01:07:42,767 --> 01:07:44,351
that finds value in my work,

836
01:07:45,603 --> 01:07:48,189
not as how the public values my work,

837
01:07:48,272 --> 01:07:52,193
but from their own artistic point of view.

838
01:07:52,985 --> 01:07:53,861
Yes.

839
01:07:55,696 --> 01:07:58,282
There's no ulterior motive
in the value they find in my work.

840
01:07:59,325 --> 01:08:01,452
It's not about the profit
my music generates.

841
01:08:04,038 --> 01:08:06,373
They don't value my work because of money.

842
01:08:07,833 --> 01:08:11,837
I want to create and do amazing things.

843
01:08:13,380 --> 01:08:14,715
That's where we are similar.

844
01:08:16,675 --> 01:08:22,556
To me, that is my treasure and my hope.

845
01:08:24,850 --> 01:08:27,436
That's how I feel.

846
01:08:29,063 --> 01:08:31,607
If it weren't so, you know,

847
01:08:33,359 --> 01:08:35,945
I wouldn't be able
to continue on like this.

848
01:08:41,158 --> 01:08:43,160
<i>And he began to reveal</i>

849
01:08:43,244 --> 01:08:44,995
<i>his plans for "DURA".</i>

850
01:08:46,205 --> 01:08:47,414
Thank you.

851
01:08:47,498 --> 01:08:49,708
-I'll see you tomorrow.
-Okay.

852
01:08:52,169 --> 01:08:54,171
Tomorrow is a crucial day.

853
01:08:54,255 --> 01:08:56,715
-That's true.
-As for "DURA",

854
01:08:56,799 --> 01:09:00,302
we changed its title to "2992".

855
01:09:03,097 --> 01:09:05,599
If a man born in 1992…

856
01:09:08,310 --> 01:09:11,188
has a millennium of parades,
that's a thousand years.

857
01:09:11,272 --> 01:09:13,190
We would be in 2992.

858
01:09:15,401 --> 01:09:16,360
That's why I changed the title.

859
01:09:17,444 --> 01:09:20,781
That title, "2992,"

860
01:09:22,449 --> 01:09:25,995
how interesting would it be
if your work persisted into 2992?

861
01:09:26,078 --> 01:09:27,121
That's why I have to keep working hard.

862
01:09:44,805 --> 01:09:50,311
{\an8}OCTOBER 22, 2020

863
01:09:59,987 --> 01:10:01,030
It does feel

864
01:10:01,906 --> 01:10:03,490
like you aren't
expressing these lyrics fully.

865
01:10:04,325 --> 01:10:06,702
{\an8}I added "all" to the words here.

866
01:10:10,331 --> 01:10:11,207
{\an8}No, not that.

867
01:10:11,290 --> 01:10:14,543
{\an8}<i>Tsuneta thoroughly goes over each
word of the lyrics with ermhoi,</i>

868
01:10:14,627 --> 01:10:16,670
<i>who wrote the lyrics for 2992,
to the last minute.</i>

869
01:10:22,635 --> 01:10:27,598
Well, we are born in 1992.

870
01:10:27,681 --> 01:10:30,434
This song is about
a thousand years from now.

871
01:10:30,517 --> 01:10:31,477
That's the idea.

872
01:10:32,394 --> 01:10:37,775
This is what we think
of people who would be

873
01:10:37,858 --> 01:10:40,194
alive a thousand years from now.

874
01:10:41,403 --> 01:10:42,238
Is that right?

875
01:10:52,873 --> 01:10:54,833
<i>Tsuneta sends sound and music</i>

876
01:10:54,917 --> 01:10:56,168
<i>from the chaotic present…</i>

877
01:10:56,252 --> 01:10:57,086
Okay…

878
01:10:57,169 --> 01:10:59,588
<i>…to a thousand years from now.</i>

879
01:11:32,997 --> 01:11:33,831
Yes.

880
01:11:34,790 --> 01:11:35,833
How was that?

881
01:11:35,916 --> 01:11:37,626
What feel are you going for?

882
01:11:38,794 --> 01:11:40,462
Do you want

883
01:11:41,380 --> 01:11:44,425
me to be more of a storyteller?

884
01:11:45,676 --> 01:11:48,137
-Or a protagonist?
-Yes, go with that.

885
01:11:48,220 --> 01:11:49,805
Protagonist, okay.

886
01:12:02,818 --> 01:12:04,528
Oh, dear.

887
01:12:04,611 --> 01:12:07,489
-I don't quite understand this song.
-No?

888
01:12:10,534 --> 01:12:11,869
Oh, man.

889
01:12:34,475 --> 01:12:35,809
Something's amiss.

890
01:12:35,893 --> 01:12:38,103
You aren't immersed in the song.

891
01:12:38,187 --> 01:12:39,605
Exactly.

892
01:12:39,688 --> 01:12:42,483
-I can tell by listening to you.
-Right?

893
01:12:42,566 --> 01:12:44,651
I don't quite understand it.

894
01:12:44,735 --> 01:12:46,278
Like, the best approach?

895
01:12:47,112 --> 01:12:51,033
Well, not quite the best approach,

896
01:12:51,116 --> 01:12:54,578
but I don't get the mood of the song.

897
01:12:54,661 --> 01:12:56,163
-I don't
-Is it too abstract?

898
01:12:56,246 --> 01:12:57,539
understand it.

899
01:12:57,623 --> 01:12:58,624
Let's see.

900
01:12:59,333 --> 01:13:02,753
I understand the lyrics since I wrote it,

901
01:13:03,837 --> 01:13:06,215
but the music itself
and the overall balance is,

902
01:13:06,298 --> 01:13:07,299
let's say…

903
01:13:09,635 --> 01:13:11,387
It's widening the ambiance.

904
01:13:11,470 --> 01:13:13,472
Right, it's not about the emotion.

905
01:13:14,014 --> 01:13:14,848
Right.

906
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:19,895
I'm not sure how to interpret it.

907
01:13:21,355 --> 01:13:22,439
Let's see…

908
01:13:26,985 --> 01:13:30,280
That's how I feel. It's quite difficult.

909
01:13:33,742 --> 01:13:34,701
Yes.

910
01:13:35,661 --> 01:13:38,330
It may be hard to explain with words,
so let's pick the sound

911
01:13:39,706 --> 01:13:44,002
that suits the mood of the song.

912
01:13:44,086 --> 01:13:45,295
-Right.
-Yes.

913
01:13:54,304 --> 01:13:55,556
It's difficult.

914
01:13:55,639 --> 01:13:58,225
This song is very difficult.

915
01:14:03,480 --> 01:14:04,440
Well…

916
01:14:08,193 --> 01:14:11,864
It already sounds good to me.

917
01:14:12,698 --> 01:14:14,616
I feel like it's too clean.

918
01:14:15,993 --> 01:14:17,327
The instrumental version

919
01:14:17,411 --> 01:14:19,496
is very clean.

920
01:14:19,580 --> 01:14:23,917
It's a clean sound.
It's a pop-like arrangement.

921
01:14:24,001 --> 01:14:26,753
A refreshing sound.

922
01:14:26,837 --> 01:14:30,215
Refreshing sound. It's not muddled.

923
01:14:30,299 --> 01:14:31,884
I want to make it muddled.

924
01:14:33,677 --> 01:14:35,637
Looks like we won't be done anytime soon.

925
01:14:37,139 --> 01:14:38,849
We'll be done by midnight.

926
01:14:43,437 --> 01:14:49,443
{\an8}NOVEMBER 2, 2020

927
01:14:51,862 --> 01:14:57,910
{\an8}KING GNU'S NATIONAL TOUR
WAS IMPENDING

928
01:15:15,969 --> 01:15:22,768
{\an8}MILLENNIUM PARADE
ALBUM CREATION IS IN ITS FINAL STAGE

929
01:15:24,061 --> 01:15:26,104
{\an8}Once it's done,

930
01:15:26,188 --> 01:15:28,732
please check the rest online.

931
01:15:29,483 --> 01:15:31,485
Let's keep it up.

932
01:15:33,904 --> 01:15:35,072
Oh, this?

933
01:15:35,822 --> 01:15:38,659
Oh, it's for the camera.

934
01:15:38,742 --> 01:15:39,910
I can put that in the fridge for you.

935
01:15:39,993 --> 01:15:41,203
It's thick.

936
01:15:41,286 --> 01:15:43,247
It's been sitting for a while.

937
01:15:43,330 --> 01:15:45,916
It has, it's already nighttime.

938
01:15:45,999 --> 01:15:48,126
Don't drink the soup.

939
01:15:48,210 --> 01:15:49,920
They disassembled the monitor.

940
01:15:56,176 --> 01:16:00,430
-You've worn that the last three days.
-I have.

941
01:16:01,473 --> 01:16:02,724
I bathe every day,

942
01:16:03,475 --> 01:16:06,853
but I can't be bothered
with choosing my clothes.

943
01:16:09,314 --> 01:16:10,566
What about your underwear?

944
01:16:13,235 --> 01:16:15,279
{\an8}Since Yu is here, let's do "Bon Dance."

945
01:16:16,446 --> 01:16:21,201
{\an8}MIDNIGHT

946
01:16:33,297 --> 01:16:38,885
{\an8}NOVEMBER 4, 2020

947
01:16:42,556 --> 01:16:43,890
<i>Beginning of November.</i>

948
01:16:44,975 --> 01:16:47,269
<i>Today, they conduct
the mix check for "2992".</i>

949
01:16:48,020 --> 01:16:50,647
<i>In other words,
it's the last step before completion.</i>

950
01:17:05,454 --> 01:17:07,664
Give me a break.

951
01:17:09,708 --> 01:17:12,294
Let's use the fireworks

952
01:17:12,377 --> 01:17:14,880
from FAMILIA's first chorus.

953
01:17:16,340 --> 01:17:19,176
-Yes.
-Let's do it. I didn't like it.

954
01:17:22,596 --> 01:17:24,264
<i>Even at this stage,</i>

955
01:17:24,348 --> 01:17:25,807
<i>he insists on using different audio.</i>

956
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:28,769
<i>Not only so, he wishes
to use audio of fireworks.</i>

957
01:17:33,732 --> 01:17:37,778
The part where
the drum's snare doesn't fit.

958
01:17:37,861 --> 01:17:39,571
Right, let's switch out the drum's snare.

959
01:17:39,655 --> 01:17:41,448
Wonderful.

960
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,117
Let's find the foot as well.

961
01:17:46,536 --> 01:17:48,830
We're starting another
backbreaking task again.

962
01:17:53,710 --> 01:17:55,337
I love the echo of the first shot.

963
01:17:58,757 --> 01:18:01,510
I want to use the sound of the fireworks
going up in the sky for the intro.

964
01:18:01,593 --> 01:18:03,679
I want clear audio of that sound.

965
01:18:10,060 --> 01:18:13,063
<i>A new world is conceived</i>

966
01:18:14,106 --> 01:18:15,107
<i>in this chaotic musical world.</i>

967
01:18:16,066 --> 01:18:17,693
<i>Tsuneta's musical process</i>

968
01:18:17,776 --> 01:18:18,694
<i>never ends.</i>

969
01:18:19,945 --> 01:18:21,822
Could you save the other track?

970
01:18:29,329 --> 01:18:30,205
Awesome.

971
01:18:32,708 --> 01:18:34,167
It's grossly good.

972
01:18:34,251 --> 01:18:35,127
It's gross, though.

973
01:18:37,504 --> 01:18:39,589
This bassline sounds difficult.

974
01:18:39,673 --> 01:18:40,966
What to do now.

975
01:18:46,012 --> 01:18:46,847
Oh, man.

976
01:18:46,930 --> 01:18:47,931
Whoa, what's that?

977
01:18:48,014 --> 01:18:51,143
{\an8}He always comes at the worst timing.

978
01:18:51,226 --> 01:18:54,855
{\an8}1:30 A.M.

979
01:19:05,449 --> 01:19:06,283
Okay.

980
01:19:40,066 --> 01:19:41,485
-One more time?
-Sure.

981
01:19:46,031 --> 01:19:47,157
-One more time.
-Sure.

982
01:20:07,135 --> 01:20:08,845
I'll wake you up when I'm done.

983
01:20:10,222 --> 01:20:11,181
All right.

984
01:20:58,228 --> 01:20:59,980
It's gotten cold.

985
01:21:02,649 --> 01:21:04,943
{\an8}You are very diligent.

986
01:21:05,026 --> 01:21:08,071
{\an8}I sure am.

987
01:21:08,154 --> 01:21:08,989
{\an8}I agree.

988
01:21:10,156 --> 01:21:12,534
I can keep going still.
There's more tweaking to do.

989
01:21:15,078 --> 01:21:17,163
{\an8}I do feel that

990
01:21:18,039 --> 01:21:20,834
{\an8}I'm compelled into working.

991
01:21:20,917 --> 01:21:22,711
{\an8}Just a thought.

992
01:21:25,171 --> 01:21:26,965
{\an8}Why do I back myself into a corner?

993
01:21:27,048 --> 01:21:28,049
{\an8}Like I'm being chased.

994
01:21:30,802 --> 01:21:32,429
Why am I in such a rush?

995
01:21:33,263 --> 01:21:34,139
Right.

996
01:21:41,062 --> 01:21:43,690
It's 4:08 now.

997
01:21:45,275 --> 01:21:47,027
Why don't we stop by the office?

998
01:21:47,110 --> 01:21:48,862
-Why not?
-Let's do it.

999
01:21:59,789 --> 01:22:01,041
Hello.

1000
01:22:03,710 --> 01:22:04,794
I knew you'd be here.

1001
01:22:06,796 --> 01:22:07,756
What's that?

1002
01:22:07,839 --> 01:22:10,383
I knew you'd be here for the food.

1003
01:22:14,054 --> 01:22:15,221
Who wrote this?

1004
01:22:17,182 --> 01:22:20,310
-It's regressed.
-What a chill handwriting.

1005
01:22:20,393 --> 01:22:21,519
It's even more relaxed than before.

1006
01:22:21,603 --> 01:22:23,688
So much more sloppy.

1007
01:22:29,361 --> 01:22:30,403
We were working.

1008
01:22:30,487 --> 01:22:31,863
You really were.

1009
01:22:36,701 --> 01:22:37,953
Thanks.

1010
01:22:38,036 --> 01:22:39,412
See you tomorrow.

1011
01:22:44,376 --> 01:22:48,505
We aren't even close.

1012
01:22:50,256 --> 01:22:51,257
I'm only getting started.

1013
01:22:52,092 --> 01:22:53,259
We can't end here.

1014
01:23:05,563 --> 01:23:12,570
ONE MONTH LATER, "2992" IS COMPLETE

1015
01:27:05,845 --> 01:27:08,848
{\an8}Thank you for recording today.

1016
01:27:09,724 --> 01:27:12,227
{\an8}Thank you so much!

1017
01:27:19,108 --> 01:27:23,488
{\an8}Thank you to the orchestra members.

1018
01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:28,868
Band staff and orchestra staff.

1019
01:27:29,535 --> 01:27:31,037
There are so many

1020
01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:32,372
types of people here.

1021
01:27:33,790 --> 01:27:37,502
We have a diverse crew.

1022
01:27:38,670 --> 01:27:40,880
It's very close

1023
01:27:42,632 --> 01:27:44,926
-to the ideal I envisioned.
-Right.

1024
01:27:45,802 --> 01:27:48,221
I witnessed a wonderful scenery today.

1025
01:27:48,304 --> 01:27:50,181
-Yes.
-A wonderful scenery?

1026
01:27:50,265 --> 01:27:51,307
Wasn't it

1027
01:27:51,975 --> 01:27:54,769
-a wonderful view? It was.
-It certainly was.

1028
01:27:58,231 --> 01:28:04,988
{\an8}DECEMBER 23, 2020

1029
01:28:40,815 --> 01:28:41,649
All right.

1030
01:28:43,484 --> 01:28:45,945
Yay, all done.

1031
01:28:46,029 --> 01:28:47,697
Great job.

1032
01:28:47,780 --> 01:28:50,450
-Great.
-Great work today.

1033
01:28:50,533 --> 01:28:52,702
-Thank you.
-You've done well.
