hyde (after HEAVEN'S DRIVE): Yeah! L'Arc~en~Ciel doe~su! L'Arc~en~Ciel doe~su! Sorry to have kept you waiting! Um... we haven't done a live in a long time so I'm not really sure how to communicate with you guys properly. Everyone really shake your hips tonight! Shake them~! You're all "ecchi" so you can do it, right? Please be nice to us today, okay? Alright, LOVE FLIES!
[ecchi = slang for sex, or something lecherous]
Ken (after Driver's High): What's up! Just before we had a live at "Aka-buri" [Akasaka BLITZ (burittsu)], but it wasn't very (the person couldn't hear the rest, but she thinks it's something about talking too much about sex...)... so today we're going to behave. Okay, since we didn't do anything for two years, tell me honestly, how many of you were pissed off? (audience: yes~! *many raise hands*). *Ken pretends to leave but the audience call him back*. So, hands up if you closed your eyes in resignation at this whole thing? (audience: yes~!)... Who of you were thinking "I'll kill you, you idiot!"? (audience: yes~!) How many of you here are going to shoot at us with air guns? (a few hands in the audience go up). Ah~ no don't! To tell you the truth, I was waiting too! hyde did his solo, and just when I thought he had finished, tetsu began his. And then, when I thought his was done, Yukkie started. And so just when I thought it was about time to start working as Laruku again, hyde.... (audience and members laugh). So I thought I would have to do something. Okay, as a way of apologizing for keeping you all waiting, we'll play the song we put so much effort into.... no, don't get your hopes up! (laughs) The song we put so much effort into.... dancing. STAY AWAY.
Tetsu (beginning of encore): Minna genki~? Do you want to listen to some more songs? Do you? Do you want to hear some more~? What time is it now? Niji? Okay, please listen to "Niji". [dasai~~~ tecchan! this is a bad oyaji-gag. in japanese "what time is it?" is "ima nanJI?" and he answered himself "niJI" (two o'clock). *groan* tetchan >_<; you dork]
hyde (after Niji): Yeah! Since today is the first day, you're seeing an extremely unsophisticated live (laughs). Before I was wearing some really long jeans, and it felt like I was going to trip on them (laughs). Really I was worried! I thought you would be able to see my underwear. (Ken does something... and hyde seems embarrassed).... sorry. You're all lucky, aren't you! Um... okay, when we do this next song, please watch closely. Okay, "trick".
Yukkie (after Trick): Thank you [...that's all *sigh*]
hyde: Yeah! Did you all see that? Okay, The next song is a little difficult.... huh? Not difficult, it's dear to us. "Vivid Colors" [another oyaji-gag. he said it was "muzukashii" (difficuult) then changed to "natsukashii" (dear) as if he had said the wrong word. ... -_-;)
hyde (after Vivid Colors): Yeah! Um... The next song is the last. We're really sorry that we kept you all waiting for so long. We lo~ve you all! *makes a heart shape with his hands* [like at MOON CHILD opening. dasai yo! they are such dorks...] We'll be here tomorrow too, so please come. Okay, last song... this is also dear to us... it's a nice song, so please listen... anata.

....what interesting thing happened this time is that hyde screwed up Heaven's Drive so badly that when they finished, they played it again *haha*. they did the same "trick" trick as before ^_^
hyde (after Spirit Dream Inside): Konban wa~! L'Arc~en~Ciel de~su! Sorry to have kept you waiting! Did you wait? Today I'll love you all as much as possible! I LOVE YOU BABY!
Tetsu (during Blurry Eyes): Do you want to eat my banana? *throws banana* Do you want to hear the rest of the song? Do you?
[tetsu no banana... natsukashii!]
hyde (after Lies and Truth): [sorry, the person didn't actually say what he said, just the content]. hyde asks everyone if they knew there is a racehorse called NEO UNIVERSE. He told them he bought 10,000 yen worth of betting tickets for it, but it came 4th...]
Ken: Sorry to have kept you waiting! What did you do in the meantime? ....but you probably want to ask us that! We were doing solo. Hey, didn't we suddenly get a lot more male fans? Did you have sex change operations?! Okay, from now on I'll leave that kind of talk to hyde. Yesterday he said stuff like "shake your hips" *laughs* You know he thinks about his fans when he masturbates!
hyde (after Shout at the Devil): The next song is.... how shall I say? It's a really nice song, so please listen. Niji.
hyde (after trick): There's still five days left, so please come watch.

*interesting happening of the day* while Yukkie was waiting in the gondala on standby to sing "trick", he picked up a banana that had fallen on the ground and threw it into the audience. ^_^ Ken threw the drumstick into the audience (... Yukkie's drumstick? zurui!)
hyde (after HEAVEN'S DRIVE): Konbanwa~! L'Arc~en~Ciel de~~su! Were you waiting like good kids? Today we'll love as you much as that! Let's have sex! Let's have sex~! Let's have sex~!
Ken (after Driver's High): Hands up everyone who smokes! Um, I gave up smoking yesterday! But it makes me irritable, so I've made my own rule that I can smoke during lives. There's all kinds of rules, like not to make a noise in the train, but here you can party as much as you want! In the old days there used to be places to do Obon dance and so on... but I never do that!!
Tetsu (after Shout at the Devil): (calling for cheers) Third Floor! Huh? Is that where the third floor is? Second Floor! Arena~! Minna genki? Do you want to eat my banana? Today it's black.... *throws black "bananas" and normal bananas*. Actually they're not black bananas, they're eggplants. Do you know golden kiwifruit? They're really sweet. The black banana is bitter.
hyde (interrupting): That kind of talk belongs backstage!
hyde (after trick): How was that? Were you surprised? There's still four days left so don't tell anyone who has yet to come! Since the first day I've done nothing but make mistakes. When I sung Lies and Truth on the first day, I sung "Masshiro na...." instead of "Kimi ga mie~nakute". But being the genius that I am, I went right on and sang "Masshiro na... mie~nakute" On the second day, during HEAVEN'S DRIVE, for some reason I went to the D melody instead of the third A melody. Of course we couldn't continue so we had to stop. So, just when I was thinking today would be okay, I broke this monitor here *points* right in two! "Shinjitsu no hata furikazase~!" "CRASH!". From now on I will try really hard not to make any mistakes! Okay, please listen to a song that is dear to us [Vivid colors].
hyde (after DIVE TO BLUE): Um.. the next song is the last. Thank you all for waiting so long. We love you all. *giggles* I'm embarrassed. This is the last song... Anata.

hyde (after HEAVEN'S DRIVE): Konbanwa~! L'Arc~en~Ciel desu! Have you all been behaving? We kept you all waiting, didn't we? Is it all built up? Is it~? Is it~? Today let's get off as hard as we can! Let's get off! Get off!
[*sigh* this doesn't work so well in english. "shasei" means "ejaculate". which he was asking why something was all filled/built up. sukebe yarou. if they release live dvd, these will be cut]
hyde: Okay, let's listen to a song that is dear to us - Vivid Colors!
Ken (after DRIVER'S HIGH): Kohonahaha~n~ [konbanwa, in a very cute voice]. You have to imitate properly! Kohonananaaa~n!Were you waiting for us? Wasn't that boring? What were you listening to in the meantime? Okay, who honestly didn't even turn on their stereo for two and a half years? Who bought the Best CDs? Who didn't because they're just songs you already have?It seems that the tickets for the first and last day sold the fastest. Maybe people thought today would be a boring live, but it's fun! I want to release a new song soon. Who wants us to release a new song soon? Who thinks that what we've already put out is enough as long as we do occasional lives? Oh~ there's people who think that. I'll take it under advisement. Today is like a festival, so make lots of noise. Lately there's no Obon dances... is there? *looks at other members but no one was listening* Don't leave me alone up here! That kind of thing is why we stopped working together! So, the next song is great to dance to... please be bathed in hyde's voice. Of course, not just hyde's voice, but tecchan's amazing bass too. And yukkii's drums. If I say that, he might drum even harder than usual. *yuki laughs* I really love that bit that goes *rurururururu, tatata~~~~n", so please listen to that bit. [play STAY AWAY]
[why is Ken suddenly obsessed with Obon?]
Tetsu (after Shout at the Devil): Second Floor~! First Floor~! Arena~! Who wants to eat my banana? Today I brought lots of things. My mango! And banana! And... is this a black banana? Oh, it's an eggplant. *throws them* *eats last banana in one bite*
hyde: So, please listen to Niji.
hyde (after Niji): Today is the fourth day... but really it's the fifth. Right from the start I've made tons of mistakes. Yesterday I broke that monitor, and had to pay for it *laughs*. But it is cheap, because I get to be here with all of you! Today everything is perfect!
[while hyde is talking, poor Yukihiro is trying to clean all the damn feathers they dropped during Niji off his drums]
hyde (after DIVE TO BLUE): I love you baby! I adore you all! *makes heart with hands* There's still three days left to go, so please come again.

Happening... at the end of "trick", Ken threw a drumstick and nearly hit Yukkie in the gondala. So you get to hear Yukkie yell "Abunai!" 
hyde: Konbanwa~! L'Arc~en~Ciel desu! Have you all been good? Let's fuck! Fu~CK! Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!
hyde: Third floor!.... Huh?
Tetsu: I was told wrong too. Apparently that's the second floor.
hyde: First floor are you giving it your best? Are you, Arena?.... You're all really genki, aren't you?
[eh~ he said "hassuru shiteru?" which means "work hard"]
Tetsu: Today I have lots of different stuff. What's this? Do you want to eat my zuchinni? And my mango? Banana!
[haha. the zuchinni broke when he went to throw it, so he threw the pieces] Yukkie pointed out to him a piece he had dropped and so he threw that too]
Ken: Yesterday we had a break. I was thinking about something. If I had breasts, what kind would they be? Who thinks I would have huge breasts? Who thinks I would have small breasts? I thought about what kind the other members would have, but I have a poor imagination. Who think Tetsu would have beautiful breasts? Who thinks Yukkie would have amazing breasts because he's an amazing drummer? (not many people put their hands up). Ah.... so rather, he would have a flat chest because of drumming, right? Okay, who thinks hyde would be blessed with not only a wonderful face, but also wonderful breasts?
