This is a video taken in May 1993 for Film Gig. All X members look happy in this video. I wrote down all the conversations because I was curious to know what they are talking about. I’d like to share it with someone curious about their conversation like me of the past.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9KnbmaRSFc(in front of Toshl’s house)
TOSHI : Where would you go? Everyone, I’m Toshl from X. I’m going to show each member’s house as a present for fans today. To begin with, this is my house. Feel free to come in.
(in the house)
I live here. But as a vocalist, I stay at the studio almost all day long. Cause this is the period to record vocal now. I’m doing my best to be delivered to everyone as soon as possible. Then, I’m going to member’s houses at once. Let’s go!
(in the car)
I think I came around Hide’s house. Ah? Isn’t he Hide? Hide is over there!
(walking)
I saw the appearance of Hide, but why is he in such a place? HIDE! Ha Ha Ha. I’m going over there right now.
(In the corridor)
It is noisy because of that vacuum cleaner. Can you hear my voice? Can you hear it? You can hear it.
Hide was in a veranda just before.
(knock)
HIDE : You can’t come in on your shoes.
TOSHI : What happened in your room? (Hide comes out)
These are staffs of Film Gig. Hide, you didn’t say hello to everyone.
HIDE : Oh, hi!
(in front of Heath’s house)
TOSHI : Probably, he is practicing hard.
HIDE : He may be practicing the bass making noise.
TOSHI : He must be playing the bass now, bam bam bam bam.
(in Heath’s house)
HIDE : (laughing) He is playing the Famicom.
HEATH : Battle of a man.
TOSHI : Battle of a man?
HEATH : I woke up at half past six in the morning. This is...
TOSHI : This is?
HEATH : Asaren(朝練 : Japanese students’ training related to school clubs)
TOSHI : Are you doing Asaren?
HEATH : This is my way of doing Asaren.
TOSHI : Is that your Asaren? Are you doing it in this position? HIDE, what do you think of it?
HIDE : (murmuring meaningless words and takes Heath’s Famicom)
HEATH : He always takes mine this way.
(on the sofa)
HEATH : This is my house.
TOSHI : This is cool. It is neat as usual. Hide is the most enjoyable among us. Well, a word to those who are watching the Film Gig.
HEATH : Well, I still have not done the live stage, but for now, please be satisfied with film gig this time. See you at live concert next time.
(knock)
TOSHI : Someone came.
HEATH : Who came in this late night?
PATA : OUAAAAAA! This is~
HEATH : Oh, Pata, (shaking hands with the cat) how are you?
PATA : Thanks.
HEATH : You became so big.
TOSHI : Who is this? Today’s special guest.
PATA : Special guest, Kotetsu.
TOSHI : Kotetsu, Kotetsu.
PATA : Yes, (pointing at camera) In this?
TOSHI : (pointing at camera) Now, somewhere in this, there is everyone, Pata.
PATA : On this side? Is anyone there?
(Cat : Meow)
TOSHI : (pointing at camera) Look! Everyone is watching. Hey, hey, hey, in the other side.
PATA : Please enjoy. Thank you very much. I’ll go there soon.
TOSHI : HIDE, 4 members got together. Shall we go to the next?
HIDE : (playing the game) Where are we going?
TOSHI : What? Don’t you know we have another person next. One more person?
HIDE : You mean the princess?
TOSHI : Let’s go the the princess’s palace.
HIDE : (on the phone) Let the car wait.
TOSHI : Car? (holding the phone) This is not connected.
HIDE : It is a cordless phone.
TOSHI : (clap) Is this the most advanced American cordless phone I’ve ever heard?
(Outside)
HIDE : With my mobile phone?
TOSHI : Yes, with your mobile phone. Call a car.
HIDE : (On the phone) (muttering)
TOSHI : Hehehe! Is that the car?
HIDE : This is the car.
(in front of Yoshiki’s house)
TOSHI : Here is it. This is the princess’s house. This is the quite strict place. We can hardly enter the house. (grabbing the handle of the door) Key! Well, if you do something stupid, policeman comes right away.
HIDE : I got it, I got the number.
TOSHI : You got the number?
HIDE : On my mobile phone.
TOSHI : What?
HIDE : With this, with my mobile phone.
TOSHI : Can you open the door with this?
HIDE : Open up!
(in the house)
TOSHI : Wow. This is princess’s house. This is the moment we enter.
(pointing to the sword)
TOSHI : Is this real?
HIDE : It must be real.
(pointing to the violin)
TOSHI : He started to learn violin.
HIDE : Oh, really?
TOSHI : Yes, he let me listen to his playing recently.
(pointing to the piano)
TOSHI : He makes songs there.
(going to the yard)
The princess has even a pool. By the way, recently, here, (Pata is pushing Toshl into the pool) Dangerous! It is dangerous! In the mean time, hey, do you remember the CD? We gave the CD to everyone. We recorded the interviews in Japan. But Yoshiki’s interview was recorded here.
HIDE : Who interviewed him?
TOSHI : I did.
HIDE : What?
(inside the house)
TOSHI : By the way, Hide, did you call Yoshiki a while ago?
HIDE : This house is wide.
TOSHI : Yes, this is wide. Let’s find him.
(bedroom)
TOSHI : This is a bedroom. How is it?
PATA : (lying in bed) This is the feeling!
TOSHI : Princess sleeps here.
PATA:In this position.
TOSHI:Does the princess sleep like that?
HIDE : Well, there are some fans who wish to go into this bed.
TOSHI : Try the simulation.
HIDE : Just the simulation?
TOSHI : The princess sleeps here all the time.
HIDE : (taking a blanket, in a sticky voice) Come in, honey.
TOSHI : Here, just go inside. (everyone laughs)
(moving)
He is not here. Pa-chan(Pata).
HIDE : He is not here.
TOSHI : Where would he be? Do you know about it, Heath?
HEATH : Unng~
TOSHI : Oh, you know? Unng~?
(kitchen)
PATA : Do you want something to drink?
TOSHI : It is a situation I saw already. There is something.
PATA : Well, that’s fine.
(movement)
TOSHI : HIDE, the guy, the guy decorated it. (moving) Where is he?
(in front of the shower room)
TOSHI : There is a sound of water splashing.
HIDE : Because he likes it.
TOSHI : What?
HIDE : He likes bathing.
TOSHI : This is a sound of a bath. Isn’t it the same situation as the last time?
HIDE : It’s just a feeling.
TOSHI : No way, what if the same thing happens? Now, is this Yoshiki?
HIDE : He...
TOSHI : He...
HIDE : Nakedly...
TOSHI : Nakedly...
HIDE : Exposing the body?
(Toshl tries to open the door of shower room)
