RINGING IN THEIR EARS

Ryota Iijima (5)

Kaori Iijima (30) Single mother

Weeks until the gig: 1

Hey, don't drop food everywhere.

Stop playing with that. It's creepy.

I'm going to work, OK?

Be in bed by 9 pm.

Yeah...

If you don't, I'll be angry.

Kaori, I need to ask a favor.

Huh? No way.

Wait, I haven't asked you yet.

Close! Close!

Favor, favor.

I'm not listening. I bet it's bad.

I need your help. Can you work next Friday after all?

Huh? When?

Friday.

No way. I told you I want the day off.

The others can't do it.

No way.

Come on Kaori...

Our next gig...

tickets have apparently sold out!

Congratulations! Wow!

Still no word from Noko?

Isn't that bad?

It's bad.

Days until the gig: 6

The 36th National Amateur Shogi Championship

I concede.

At the 67th move, Michiko Narita has won the match.

Michiko Nanta moves on to the final of

the 36th National Amateur Shogi Championship.

Yes!

Way to go, Michi!

Michiko Narita (18) 3rd year high school student

You made the final? That's awesome!

It is, isn't it?

What'll you do if you win?

I'll go pro.

Do they have pros in shogi?

Yeah. There's Master Habu, for one.

What about university?

I'm not going!

Really?

Really, really.

Is that actually an option? This is a prep school after all.

University doesn't matter.

Can you make a living playing shogi?

I can, if I turn pro.

For real?

How about you?

I'll sit exams for 10 universities.

My main target's Keio.

It'd set me up for life.

You won't get in. Your English sucks.

Huh?

So you'll be a shogi pro...

That's kinda... embarrassing. Having a girlfriend who's a shogi pro.

Huh?

Become a dancer. Then I can brag to Mitsuo about it.

Shut up, idiot.

It'd be cool if you were a dancer.

Oh yeah.

The CD I told you about.

Here.

Thanks. What is it? Shinsei...

Wanna see them live?

When?

Next week.

Yeah, I'll go.

Bone up on them with that CD.

What's this about university?

I told you. I'm not going.

What'll you do then?

Be a shogi pro.

That's ridiculous.

Come on Michiko, cool your head a bit.

It's OK. It's cool as ice.

You can't live off shogi.

Women can't be pros.

I can.

You won't get far.

But what if I do?

Knock it off.

You should study economics, or.. nursing care.

No! Just butt out.

Watch your mouth!

Hey, Michiko!

She'll only be a high school grad.

You're the one who taught her shogi.

I taught Satoshi. I didn't teach Michiko.

Ah, my head hurts.

I won today.

67 moves, +R -5b.

Climbing silver.

The move you taught me.

I'll... keep going, OK?

Days until the gig: 5

Wow, this takes me back.

It's from 2009.

Noko got out.

The famous bleeding gig.

Wow, look at all that blood.

Noko's a weird one.

He's not weird!

He's cute!

When's this?

At the Factory show, I think.

Oh, the Factory.

This is different.

Yeah, it is.

This is at Yaneura in Shibuya.

He's like Shinji.

- Shinji who? - From Evangelion.

On purpose?

It was probably on purpose.

Mono's got some ugly colored clothes on.

Why that color?

Why the rainbow look, Chibagin?

It's a band T-shirt!

A band T-shirt?

Yeah, for the other act.

The other band? Sorry.

So what's this?

When was this?

Isn't it Yaneura in Shimokitazawa?

Yeah. You were streaming it on the net.

Tsurugi, you're wearing that jacket now, aren't you?

Wearing it now?

He always is.

So, there you go.

That's the story so far, but what about your next gig?

It'll be the biggest venue you've ever played.

Well, I don't really know much about the capacity.

I'm pretty damn nervous. My stomach aches.

Mono, you're a wimp.

I am not!

Now you've signed with a major label,

appeared on TV, and are getting more famous,

do you feel more fired up?

There's the pressure that comes with that, but things haven't changed much.

Noko's still the same too.

Speaking of Noko, is he coming today?

Yeah, when's he coming?

He's probably asleep.

Tsurugi, what time is he coming?

Huh? Is he sleeping?

He's sleeping.

Hey!

Tsurugi!

Tsurugi, wake up!

Tsurugi!

Mikito Tsurugi (29) Shinsei Kamattechan's manager

Thanks for that.

You were fast asleep.

Dead to the world.

I got no sleep last night.

Watching YouTube, were you?

Well, I watched a bit this morning...

Korean pop again?

Hey Tsurugi.

Oh, Mr. Kimura. Thanks for your help.

Did the interviews go alright?

Yes, all finished.

I see.

Come here a sec.

Yes?

This is Mr. Sasamoto from Daitsu.

I'm Tsurugi, the manager.

Tsurugi's been with the band since their indie days.

Sure, I know. I read your interview in TV Bros.

Thank you.

There's something I'd very much like to talk to you about.

Yes?

About "Rock n' Roll Never Stops Blasting"...

Yes?

We'd like to turn it into an anthem for shut-ins.

Huh?

It's Kamattechan's major label debut, so you should go BANG!, make an impact.

Oh...

Mr. Sasamoto says he'll help us out.

As a song for shut-ins, it'd sell a million.

Trust my 30 years of experience.

I'm sorry, that's...

Listen.

Change the lyrics to cheer up shut-ins, simplify the music,

then we promote the hell out of it, that's what I'm saying.

You're a major label act now.

We at Daitsu feel that if the song can be made more uplifting,

we can promote it to school boards.

Then we'll pursue tie-ups with universities and cram schools.

It'll expand the band's fan base to all age groups, all over the country

Oh...

We could get Noko to be police chief for a day

Good one!

I'm coming up with so many ideas!

Tsurugi, you promote the band right, and they could play the Budokan.

Or New Year's Eve on NHK!

With my 30 years in the biz, I guarantee it.

By the way this is the image we're going for.

Well? It's great, right?

Campaign to stamp out shut-ins Sure...

Lots of shut-ins watch the band on the net, so it's a perfect synergy.

Lots of shut-ins watch the band on the net, so it's a perfect synergy

They could be the voice of youth. There's so much potential.

Right...

How about it, Tsurugi?

Well...

It's OK to be cautious. Your longtime fans might think you've sold out.

But, do you stay where you are, or move on to where you should be?

This is a crucial turning point.

Stepping up to the next stage is a big deal.

I know many artists who've gone on to become huge stars this way.

Talk to the band about this as soon as possible.

The label and I will back you 100%

Sure.

Got it.

Days until the gig: 4

What's that?

Kamattechan.

What is it?

That's so cool!

Play it again!

“Mr. Caterpillar“

I want to die

I want to live

Angels and demons

are inside me

I want to live, I want to die

Either way is fine, ma, ma, ma, ma

Neither way is fine, I want to die

I want to fade away, ma, ma, ma, ma

Kaori, you don't look well. Aren't you working too much?

Yeah, a little.

I'll take over, so you can have a break.

I'm fine. I didn't sleep much, that's all.

Really? Don't collapse on me.

I'm fine, I'm fine.

Does working at the club really pay that well?

You should just do one job.

But my kid's starting elementary next year.

How much money do you make in a night?

Wait, sorry.

Yes?

What?

Er... about Ryota...

Lately he tends to go off into his own world,

or doesn't do what he's told,

and he often acts quite strangely.

Has...

Has something happened lately at home

that would explain his behavior?

Perhaps there's been some family trouble?

Did he do something?

Ryota brings his laptop every day doesn't he?

Yes.

He always watches it.

He shows other children too.

Is that... a bad thing?

What?

Is bringing a laptop bad?

Well, I suppose it is bad, but...

He loves it. It's like a substitute for his father.

He watches it at home too.

You're joking.

I'm not.

You're really gonna do shogi?

Let's go to university.

No thanks.

But shogi's boring. There's not much you can do.

There's lots I can do.

You can't glam up.

I'm doing it now.

Excuse me, please write "pawn" on her nails.

At least make it "knight."

Pawn suits you fine. You've always been a slow one.

You're mean.

I'll make it to university step by step.

I know.

You're the only one in our class who's decided to rebel.

Really?

Everyone else will go to university then work in an office,

get married, have kids... and die.

Michiko, I want you to become a crow.

Huh?

Become a crow, and leave us all behind.

That'd be fun. Right?

Go so far you make us jealous.

It's "rook," OK?

Rook?

What's the band?

What was it? Kamattechan?

Huh.

Kenji introduced them to me.

It's not my style.

Oh...

Oh damn, gotta go to cram school.

Already?

Yeah.

Math math math...

OK, see you tomorrow. Bye bye.

Bye bye.

You know, we should use Mono more.

You want to use me?

Yeah. Mono T-shirts, badges, towels.

All me!

Mono hoodies too.

What if they don't sell?

But I think something simple like this would be good.

Tsurugi?

Yes!

Why the surprise?

I think this Mono hoodie would sell. How about it?

One like that?

What's that poster you've got?

This?

I was wondering too. You've had it all day

Oh, it's no big deal.

It's odd. What are you hiding?

No, it's not odd at all.

You're hiding something!

It's nothing.

Hey, what is it?

It's nothing.

Nah, it's something alright.

What was all that about?

Tsurugi.

Yes?

Noko won't answer his phone. Think he's OK?

Er... I'll try calling him.

The gig's not far away.

What?

Nah,

it's nothing.

Check out my nails! I got them done with Risa.

It's too dark to see.

You can see, look! Aren't they cute?

I saw them already.

But you said you like pink nails.

Oh... did I?

I'm gonna win the final with these. Wish me luck!

Hey, when's the final?

Um...

In four days.

Four days huh...

Huh?

What?

Wait a minute.

The gig is in four days.

What? For real?

For real.

Days until the gig: 3

Leave your laptop today.

No.

You can't today.

Why?

Because I say so.

No!

Hey!

Wait!

Ryota, wait a minute!

We're back.

I waited for over an hour.

But shopping took a while.

What did he buy you?

An OS.

What's that?

You put it in a computer. It's the latest.

I don't get it.

It boosts the processing speed, right?

Anyway how long are you going to use that laptop for?

He never let go of it the whole time.

I know.

Actually, I should have bought you a new one.

This one will do fine.

You should've taken it when you left.

But he can use it more than me.

Ryota,

get rich like Bill Gates so you can take care of me, OK?

Come here.

What?

You know.

Don't bring that here now.

It's the only time I see you.

I know, but still...

Sign it and post it.

What a drag.

I want welfare, so do it quickly.

You still working nights at the club?

It's about time you quit.

You've got no say.

It's not good for Ryota.

You seduced me there, so shut up.

Let's go.

We're going.

Get your stuff.

We're going.

Hey, you enjoy being with your dad?

Who do you love more, me or Dad?

It's fifty-fifty.

Don't piss me off. I'll break your laptop.

Don't.

If I broke it, would you cry?

Yeah, you'd cry.

Want me to leave you here? I've got to go to work.

What's up all of a sudden?

Well...

Don't be so formal, it's creepy.

Well... um... I was wondering how have you been.

What do you mean?

Well... do you feel like the band's stagnating?

Not at all.

Does it look that way?

No, that's not it...

It's just...

Put bluntly,

if you had the chance to play the Budokan, would you do it?

Of course I would. Can we do it?

Well, there's a chance.

Seriously? Like when?

Well, I'm not exactly sure when...

Tsurugi, you've been acting weird.

No I haven't.

No, you've been weird.

I haven't.

No, it's weird.

I'm not weird.

Maybe it's this haircut.

Listen...

Um...

I want you to be honest with me.

Are you short on cash at all?

Huh?

I wondered if you're under any financial pressure.

Does it look like I am?

Well...

Well yeah... no, not really...

What is this? You're being rude.

If you sold a million CDs, would it make you happy?

Of course it would! But we won't sell that many.

What is this? Some kind of prank?

I'm sorry.

They wouldn't go along with it.

Tsurugi...

Turning their song into an anthem for shut-ins wouldn't suit them...

It kinda feels a bit wrong...

This is a cactus.

Tsurugi, do you know what kind of cactus it is?

No idea.

Of course you don't. Neither do I.

Whatever it is, it's about to blossom with beautiful flowers, so I water it.

That's my job, you see.

For 30 years, I've sniffed out genuine talent.

It smells good, Tsurugi. See?

Smell it properly!

Ow!

Well?

It hurts.

Not that, the smell!

I can't smell it.

I can.

It has to be watered now. If we don't, the flowers will dry out.

Cactuses don't dry out...

Even if they lose fans now, don't you want the band to last 10 or 20 years?

This is crunch time.

Whoa.

You're a hard one to beat, Michi.

That's because I already feel like a pro.

I'm looking forward to the final.

Ah... maybe I won't go through with it.

Yeah? Why?

It clashes with something.

That would be a waste.

It's the final. The final.

But... there'll be another competition...

There.

Oh no...

OK. Pocket money.

Can't even win with a handicap...

OK. 1,000 yen.

Cheers.

One more game.

I can't, I have to meet Kenji.

Can anyone ride?

I've never ridden it.

Next week OK?

I can't wait.

It'll be amazing.

What's going on?

Michiko...

It's...

...you know.

I know what?

Wait, Michiko.

What's that?

What's going on?

Michiko, it's, you know...

Shut up!

I said, what's going on?

Well,

they're photos for exam applications.

I can see that. You two just finished taking them.

No, it's not like that!

You said you couldn't go to the gig,

so Kenji gave me your ticket.

Huh?!

But you, you've got that thing.

What is it? A "shogi showdown?"

Ah, forget it.

The bottom line is, you and I are heading in different directions.

Huh? What do you mean?

Well, I just told you what I mean.

Bullshit, you asshole!

Hey!

That hurt, you bitch!

Let go!

Shut your mouth!

You're the sneaky one!

Stop it!

Who cares what you think, shithead!

“Ultimate Laser“

Michiko, Dad wants to talk.

Shut up, bitch!

Bitch...?

Michiko, come back here!

Why'd you say that?

She's a bitch, that's why!

Watch your mouth!

See, you always lash out! That's why Satoshi's the way he is!

What'd you say?

It's your fault! I'm suffocating!

Stop it!

Stay out of here!

It's my house!

Get out!

I'll go where I like!

You've had your say, now get out!

Your mother's worried!

Too bad!

Don't call her a bitch! Come here!

Apologize! Apologize to your mother! Come on!

Come with me!

You think you raised yourself?

Who put you through school?

"Rock' n' Roll Never Stops Blasting"

Don't mess with me man, I told you to do it.

Why?

No, I told you, remember?

I told you that too.

Look, I told you all that.

Kaori, about Friday, are you sure you can't do it?

If you can't do it, things will be tough.

Ask the young girls.

Don't be nasty about it.

No way. It's an important day for me.

Really?

Really really.

I'll be straight with you, Kaori. You can't do this much longer.

We get lots of young girls who want to work here.

If you don't play ball, you'll lose your spot.

If you want to keep working here, would you reconsider?

The day after tomorrow, I'm going to the final.

Days until the gig: 2

1, 2, 3, go!

I want to die, I want to live

Either way is fine, ma, ma, ma, ma

Neither way is fine, I want to die

I want to fade away, ma, ma, ma, ma

I want to die, I want to live

Either way is fine, ma, ma, ma, ma

if someone says to you, "you can't even die,“

don't cry

Over there and over here

if someone says to you, "you can't even die"

Principal?

Alright.

As we discussed before, it's about Ryota's computer...

It's...

a bad influence on the other children.

In what way?

Ryota taught them a strange song.

A strange song?

Yes.

Strange how?

It's disturbing. "I want to die."

How can he sing that at a kindergarten?!

Wait, please...

Say something!

Principal!

Well...

This is very hard for me to say...

If Ryota insists on bringing his computer,

we'll have to expel him.

As educators,

we have no right to tell you how to raise your child,

but we have to consider the other children too.

All the kindergartens around here are full, and children can't get in.

Forgive me for asking, but aren't you raising Ryota by yourself?

I know it'd be difficult for you if we couldn't look after him.

Expulsion is best. That's the parents association's view.

So it'd be OK if he didn't bring his computer?

Well, I guess...

Got it. Please get rid of this.

I need this kindergarten, so dump it.

Wait, you don't have to...

He doesn't need it. Dump it.

We're going.

Mrs. Iijima...

Wait, Mrs. Iijima!

Come on, don't dawdle. Let's go!

No concert for you now.

I have to work so I can feed you!

Crying will get you nowhere! It's me who should be crying!

Last night, at the Tsutaya by the station

I rented a Beatles CD

What?

How long?

You and Risa.

Whatever...

I asked her about the gig, and she said yes.

Ah, what was it...

You're going to your shogi showdown, aren't you?

Yeah.

This is yours.

Die! Hope you fail all your exams!

Shithead!

You bitch!

As the sun went down on the way home from school

I listened to The Beatles I listened to the Sex Pistols

Still no Noko?

He won't pick up.

This is bad. Just before the gig too.

Hey Masui.

Yeah?

How do you feel about songs with encouraging messages?

Encouraging songs? Like what?

Like... "Don't you give in," that sort of thing.

They're shit.

They're nauseating. And phony.

Why?

Never mind...

They're shit.

Yep, they're shit alright.

They're shit, no matter how you look at it.

Days until the gig: 1

Come on, we're going!

I'm not!

You are!

I'm not!

Your don't need your laptop!

Yes I do!

You don't!

I do!

Have it your way then!

Hey!

What?

Do what you like after you graduate, but get out of this house.

No university means you're on your own.

I don't need university

Then get out.

You don't need to tell me.

It's really tough.

Wow, that's harsh!

Kindergartens suck.

You're amazing, raising a kid on your own. I couldn't do it.

Ah, where did I go wrong?

Divorce?

Nah, marriage. Picked the wrong guy.

No, having a baby. It was a shotgun wedding!

Hey, go easy on me.

You sure you're OK? You're not working yourself to death?

If you do, your kid'll be screwed.

I couldn't do it. Raising a kid is too much.

You're amazing.

Ah, I wish I could do things over.

Hey why not put him up for adoption?

Wow, what a bombshell!

Watch it.

Why not quit the club and change jobs?

Yeah, like us.

Who'd hire me now?

A part-time job then.

I have one.

Is your apparel company hiring?

People our age aren't needed at all.

Yeah, true.

They're here.

Over here! Here!

Sorry we're late!

Damn late!

My bad!

These gents work for Avex.

Nice to meet you, we're Triple A!

Yeah right! You're not pop idols!

Should we sing?

Gladly!

Yeah yeah, never mind that, sit down. This is a group lunch date.

Excuse us.

Kaori, if there's one you like, you can have him.

Huh?

You're the worst off out of all of us. Chiho said it's OK too.

You've taken on too much too early.

When did people start feeling sorry for me?

Take advantage of it now and then.

Oh.

What?

Stomach pain.

Huh?

Something feels wrong... gotta go!

Huh? Huh? Huh?

You're really going?

But it's too early!

See you again!

What a waste! Oh man!

If any of you would be nice enough to treat me to a meal, feel free to ask.

But I'll have to bring a small child. Bye!

Huh? She has a kid?

Ryota?

No, I haven't seen him...

I see...

What's wrong?

Oh, nothing...

I hear you're behind on your rent.

The landlord came to remind you. You OK?

I'm not OK. Not OK at all!

He didn't come today. Is everything OK?

Wait!

Really! I'd love to see that!

Hey there.

Hello.

It just doesn't feel right.

What doesn't feel right?!

This is the most important time for Kamattechan!

That's true...

There you go then.

That's true, but it still feels wrong.

Work with me here.

I've given this serious thought too.

But...

Hey, pull yourself together!

Sorry

Act now or you'll regret it later.

You won't have a stage to stand on by then.

Listen... I honestly think that Mr. Kimura's right.

If you want to last 10 years, you have to make a play now.

You could use webcasting more effectively too.

I don't care if we don't last 10 years.

Huh?

I want to help them do things their way.

You'll squander their talent.

I won't.

You will.

No I won't.

I'm telling you, you will! Look!

Please stop.

Do what I say and they'll blossom!

Clean out your ears and respect my 30 year of experience!

I said stop!

Shouldn't you be in school?

Shogi's more important.

There, silver general to 7e.

Shogi's great, I'll give you that.

Shogi never lets you down.

It's an internal battle.

You'll love Kamattechan. Listen to this.

I can't wait! I wanna hear what they sound like.

For real? Then here you go.

Wow, can't wait! I love rock music.

Playstation 2 Shogi Then you'll love it.

What's wrong? Hay fever?

There.

1,000 yen.

Your opponent will be tough to beat.

Better get psyched up.

We're all behind you.

Thanks.

If you lose, you can start over.

Thanks.

1,000 yen.

Is he by himself?

Know him? Seen him around?

Recently, it was fun when I fought with my dad and the cops came.

Shut up!

Um, out in the street.

I was out on the street screaming, and then the cops came.

I want to...

...watch you...

sing.

I want to watch you sing.

You want to watch me?

You're kidding. Alright, I get it. Well,

If I get five more messages saying that,

I guess I could sing.

Huh? Y... you want me to? No kidding.

You do.

OK OK OK, hang on.

The music industry is finished!

The music industry is finished!

But I'm, but I'm...

But I'm, but I'm...

Yeah, I'm an ongoing story.

I'm kinda, so to speak, an ongoing story.

Days until the gig: 0

I'm home.

Look, I bought this. The best and lightest one.

I'm tired, so I'll sleep a bit.

I'll be late home tonight.

We can't rely on your dad anymore.

K-8h.

S-7f.

K-7h.

S-6g, drop.

K-8h.

G-7h.

I can't win.

It should be you going pro.

That CD's pretty good.

Have a listen.

On the way home from school

I listened to The Beetles I listened to the Sex Pistols

Something had changed

What are you all looking at?

Is that a computer?

It's a picture book!

Noko still hasn't arrived?

No.

Will he really turn up?

This isn't good.

It'll be fine. He'll be here.

Are you really in control, Tsurugi?

Please watch them. I guarantee it'll be amazing.

Yeah right.

Excuse me, we have to rehearse...

Oh, sure.

And now, we begin the final of the 36th National Amateur Shogi Championship.

- I'm ready - I'm ready

See ya.

See ya. Bye bye.

Bye bye.

Did you have fun today? Let's go.

Well, I work with the smallest staff possible.

Yes. That's right.

Well, the eldest would be Kaori.

Yes, I understand. Sorry for taking up your time.

I'll call again. Sorry to bother you. Thank you.

Hello.

Hey.

Coming.

Hey!

Alright!

Hurry!

Isn't Noko coming?

He's late!

Oh, it's starting.

Noko's arrived!

You guys! You guys!

There's a lot of different kinds of rock music in the world,

but right here now, a new chapter in rock history, or something like that,

is gonna be written, which is a good thing I think!

I've kinda got sore muscles and I'm tired, but...

But anyway, we're gonna do it. We are Shinsei Kamattechan!

1, 2, 3! Cha la la la cha la la, cha la la la cha la la!

Sometimes it's really bad You get soaked in the rain

I tell you about it It only bothers you

It's better that it rains it makes it easier to live

I'm beneath an umbrella You're beneath an umbrella

I like it like that I'm in the rain

I try not to use my umbrella to hide my effeminate side

I like it like that You're beneath an umbrella

Have you caught a cold? I peek up from below

Baby, rainy, daily

I'm in the rain, I'm still crying to you

You're in the rain, I just don't want to say

I just don't want to say

I just don't want to say I just don't want to say...

Oh, I've heard that song before. Whose is it?

Kamattechan.

Huh?

They're playing a gig, see?

There are many kinds

of love, of love

Th- th- th- there are many kinds of love

But whatever kinds there may be,

I just don't want to say painful things

I just don't want to say

I just don't want to say

I just don't want to say

Noko!

I can hear you breathing through your nose.

Shut up.

Kaori, I thought you weren't really into rock.

It's not that I ran away

Sorry, I lied

Only you, only you, that's all there is

Maybe I'm little, maybe I'm little,

maybe, maybe,

I'm stupid

You must be tired.

Still working?

I should be finished soon.

Did you hear about Kana wetting herself?

Yeah, I did.

I just left the mattress out there.

If I, if I, become an idiot

After school, you and me,

we spoke a little when we were on cleaning duty

I tried to be kind

I told you again you could go home ahead of me

What a stupid thing to do

1,2, 3, I counted

I should have counted 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

I keep thinking, I keep thinking, about you

Again and again, only about you

What is this? What is this?

Following the street lights

You had gone home first, so I ran chasing after you

Is this Kamattechan?

Their gig's on the web.

It's them, right?

I'm just glad to have seen the beautiful way you handle a dustpan

However, you even went so far as to sweep up my heart

No matter how old I get, yeah, even now I'm 25,

you'll never ever know

So

I hope this gets through

Yes, to you, to you, I hope this gets through, to you

If someone's out there, I really hope it gets through to them

Haven't you stared at that enough?

You're up soon.

Yeah.

I'm sure you'll be great.

OK.

This is... history!

Last night, at the Tsutaya by the station,

I rented a Beatles CD and a Sex Pistols CD, the Rock' n' Roll one

But I don't get what's so good about them

As the sun went down on the way home from school

I listened to The Beatles and the Sex Pistols again

Something had changed. Even without the music, my ears never quit ringing

That time, that song, that I can hear far away

From far, from near, from next to me, it's screaming

Take a look, far away the way I was, still as it is

The shock I felt the first time I realized

Forever, forever, forever, give it to me

More, more, give it to me

More, more, more, more, give it

I aim at you, so far away, and blast it out

From far, from near, from next to you, I'm screaming

Songs these days are all just a bunch of shit

That's what you say, no matter what the year

So right now, right now,

right now, I'll scream

Right now, now, I'll blast my guitar at you

Even if you don't understand the meaning of this song right now,

I'll blast it now, I'll blast it now

Rock' n' roll never stops blasting

On the way home

The song I listened to on my way home

Here at Shibuya-AX too,

Yes, it won't stop blasting

Yes!

Everyone does their best to look like they're having fun

When you realize that you're down, there'll be no-one else around

You know that, so that's why you go crazy now and then

I think I have a hidden face that I'd like to show to you

Now I'm able to go outside again

Now I'm able to go outside again

I am

Even I try my best to look like I'm having fun

When I feel down, I might hurt you

I know that, so that's why I go crazy now and then

I think I have a sad face that I'd like to show to you

Now I'm able to go outside again

Now I'm able to go outside again

Now I'm able to go outside again

Now I'm able to go outside again

Now I'm able to go outside again

Now I'm able to go outside again

We set off into the beautiful unknown

We set off into the beautiful unknown

I am

Now I'm able to go outside again
