-------------------------------------------- 

I've got this call from... 

The vocalist of pizzicato five... 

Nomiya maki-chan! 

Hello maki? 

Hello! 

Maki is that you? 

Yeees tis me! 

Maki! long time no see! 

Hi! maki here! 

Long time no see! 

Would you tell us 

Where you're calling from? 

Mmm yes mmm I am mmm 

I'm in osaka now! 

I'll be on this live programme 

On telly 

They'll start shooting 

In half an hour! I'm backstage! 

Is that a fact? 

Tis too! 

I presume you're wearing 

Your costume and stuff 

You bet! wearing my costume and 

Made up to the nines I am! 

Gosh I love the way 

You wear your make up 

Thank you! 

I mean no one else 

Wears that make up! 

You're right I suppose... 

By the way... 

Maki... 

Yeeees? 

Your latest single... what was 

It again...baby portable rock... 

What about it? 

It's incredible! 

The number of requests we've had! 

You don't say! 

I do and I do! I mean incredible! 

Thank you so much. 

So what sort of response 

Are you getting? 

You wouldn't believe it! 

It's our first time on the hit charts 

And we are one of the top ten! 

That much even I know. 

Well it's our first time 

So we're all very 

Excited about it... 

Mmm. correct me if I'm wrong. 

Last week you were 

Number two on ori concerto? 

Yes tis true. 

Thank you so much 

Thank you all! 

Isn't it 

Amazing? 

I suppose so. 

Amazing! 

Hey maki! 

Yeeees? 

This baby portable rock... 

Yes. 

Even in our programme... 

Yes? 

Twas number two last week. 

Really? thank you so much. 

Really! and... 

If it keeps it's pace... 

Yes? 

It will climb to the top of the chart 

Today! 

I would be delighted 

If it did. 

Yep. 

Yeah. 

Would you 

Greet our listeners 

Send them 

A big hello 

From osaka? 

Certainly! 

How do you do! 

I'm miss nomiya maki! 

Thank you so much 

For your requests of 

Baby portable rock! 

Please keep 

Supporting us! 

Maki-chan! 

I can hear you! 

This is just 

A personal opinion but... 

Yes. 

It feels like the good 

Ol' times of pink lady! 

(laughs) 

It feels like the candies 

Got back together! 

Really! 

This is the feeling I get 

From the response of 

Our listeners! 

Is that so. 

(laughs) 

Well at least in our programme. 

Tis fantastic! 

I'm so happy. 

Soooooo happy. 

Where's 

Your partner? 

My partner? konishi you mean? 

Konishi is... 

Well he is... 

I bet he's out for some food. 

Oh yes precisely. 

He went out 

To have something to eat. 

This is what he's doing. (**) 

All the nerve! 

30 minutes before you're on air 

And this bloke leaves you there alone! 

That bloke 

Is such a character! 

I suppose he is. (***) 

Let's talk about you. 

You have -- how to put it? 

Such a special face (****) 

But I would really like to know 

Who is the real nomiya maki? 

What kind of person is she? 

(laughs) 

The real nomiya maki? 

Now the real nomiya maki... 

She is... well... 

She is not half 

The vamp (in her private moments) 

She seems to be 

When she's all made up 

And dressed up to the nines 

The way she is 

When she's the pizzicato vocalist. 

When one talks to you 

On the phone like this 

Tis easy to spot 

The discrepancy. 

What you just said is so true. 

Now to shift subjects 

I've heard 

Through the grapevine 

That pizzicato is trying 

To conquer the world 

That's what I heard. 

Now is this true? 

Well actually... 

We've been doing 

A lot of work abroad. 

Maybe since last year? 

We've been doing a lot of stuff 

We've been planning a lot of stuff 

We've been doing all sorts of things. 

What I mean is 

If pizzicato 

Becomes worldwide famous 

It will have 

A very positive influence 

On the japanese 

Musical scene as a whole. 

We all have 

Great expectations 

Towards you. 

We'll try 

To do our best. 

Please do. 

Well you've only got 

25 minutes left apparently! 

Yep. 

I'm sorry to have 

Called you when you're so busy. 

Ah it's alright. 

Well 

Anyway 

Anyway... 

Let's wait and see 

If you climb up 

To the top of the chart 

This week! 

So let's go! 

Thank you maki! 

Thank you 

So much! 

Bye! 

Ok so now 

Baby portable rock 

Pizzicato five! 

Thank you 

So much. 

Before we part 

Please listen 

To our latest 

Song! 

Tis called 

Baby portable rock! 

Translator's notes 

(*) orikon is the abbreviation of original confidence (what is this supposed to mean? japlish at it's best at any rate). orikon is a company that rates jpops every week (including kayokyoku and e

(**) the way these sentences are phrased and spoken gives the listener a clear feeling that maki-chan is lying, and not very happy about it 

(***) here she's trying to sound cheerful but actually sounds desperate 

(****) this may come as a shock to all western fans, but the japanese don't think maki-chan is beautiful. she's too different from your standard japanese beauty -- people think she has a 'funny
