Track 3

A new song and a live concert?

I’m super excited too!

Let’s all do our best! I’m sure we’ll make something great!

Hmm? We’re going to be renting a studio more often?

Ah… Yeah… You’re right.

We’re working our hardest right now, so let’s do it!

I was just thinking we should do that.

Sorry… I just remembered that I’ve got plans today.

Can you call me when you get a studio?

Thanks! I’ll be waiting for you then. Thanks for all your hard work!

I’m so tired.

[01:06]
Jeez. Why do I have to go with them too?

Studio rental? That should be left to the people who need it.

It’s so annoying.

Ah… She said she was coming to my place today.

Huh? No signal?

What’s going on?

I see… So there really is no signal.

She must be cheating on me.

[02:14]
This can’t be happening.

Huh. So you’re here.

Welcome back…

I should actually be asking you where you’ve been all this time.

It’s no use trying to trick me.

You stopped somewhere else on the way here, didn’t you?

I know you did. Why don’t you tell me about it instead of trying to hide it?

[03:02]
Your phone has been out of range all this time.

Where did you go?

Don’t lie. I know everything.

You’re a liar.

It’s no good saying that.

I was sure of it when I called you just now.

I called you twice and your phone was out of range both times.

What on earth happened? It’s unbelievable.

Huh? You were on a train?

Then you should come by taxi instead!

There was something I wanted to talk to you about right away. It’s really unforgivable!

Hey… Why don’t you admit it already?

You’re cheating on me, aren’t you?

[04:03]
Hmm… You’re making excuses this time?

I’ve always told you this, haven’t I? That I’d kill you if you cheated on me.

However… You really are a stubborn woman.

Then why don’t you stop doing things that make me suspicious?

You’ve finally apologised. You should have just done that from the beginning.

Come on. Hurry up and take it out.

Your smart phone. Can’t you even understand that?

Hurry up and give it to me. Come on.

Just give it to me!

[05:05]
Found it.

If you’re not cheating, then there’s nothing wrong with me looking, is there?

I’m going to check whether you’re lying. If there’s nothing suspicious, then you won’t have a problem with it, will you?

Well?

So it’s fine then.

Hmm… Oh… Whose is this number?

Like I said… It’s this one.

This number that’s in your call history.

It says it’s the gas company, but that’s not true, is it?

You’re good at lying, you see.

Isn’t that right?

[06:05]
So you’re going to answer back this time.

Hmm… I see. You really are brave.

Oh no… It’s broken.

But it’s a good thing it was only your phone that got smashed up.

Don’t buy another phone without my permission. I’ll kill you if you do that.

You’ve realised this by now, haven’t you?

What will happen if you make me angry…

I’m not going to believe anything you say anymore.

Whose fault is that?

I’m asking whose fault it is.

Tell me.

[07:08]
That’s right. It’s your fault.

I’ve made up my mind.

Stay here for a while. You can’t set one foot outside of this house.

It would be troublesome if you did something inappropriate while I wasn’t looking.

Stay here as long as I tell you to.

Don’t you want me to trust you?

Then it’s only natural for you to do that, isn’t it?

I’m going to be busy from tomorrow onwards.

It’s because the other members want to do some stupid practice to prepare for the recording. Doing that won’t change anything though. It really is stupid.

[08:09]
I’ll probably be out more often, but don’t even think about trying anything while I’m out.

I’ll call the house, so make sure you pick up within two rings. Otherwise I won’t forgive you.

Understand?

Come on, what’s your answer?

It’s a promise, alright?

Got it?

If you keep your promise and be a good girl, I can trust you again.

Why are you looking at me like that?

You don’t like it?

Does it hurt? Of course it does! I’m making it hurt.

[09:12]
Your cheeks are bright red!

Well, I suppose it would happen when I’m pulling this hard.

But you like this, don’t you?

This isn’t enough, is it?

I’ve got to do even worse things.

See. You really are happy.

I’m going to do lots of terrible things that you can’t tell anyone about.

I’ll make you even happier.

I want you to look forward to it.

Track 4

Hey! What did you think?

Hmm? That was okay just now? Thank you!

Ah… Thank goodness! I was feeling nervous because I hadn’t recorded a song for a while.

Really? Being complimented like that is making me embarrassed!

But thanks to everyone, I think the new song is going to be a good one.

The recording is over, so all that’s left is to wait for the live concert!

Let’s keep working hard!

Yup! I’m really looking forward to the concert!

Huh? P-Practice?

Ah… Yeah… You’re right…

[01:01]
We’ve got to work hard at that for the concert.

Tomorrow?

But… The recording is finally over, so why don’t we all have a little break?

We’ve been so busy with the new songs recently.

Eh? Ah… You’re right… Now’s not the time for us to be relaxing.

Got it. We’ll give 100% during practice for the upcoming concert tomorrow!

Thanks for all your hard work!

What? They should just practice on their own!

This is the worst.

[02:12]
Yeah… I’m home.

The recording? We did it in one take, of course.

I’ve never had to redo a song on the second take.

You know that too, don’t you?

Ah… I thought I’d be able to have some time to relax.

That’s why I made a serious effort and sung perfectly.

The other members really are impossible.

Hmm? Don’t ask me that.

Now that the recording’s finished, we have to rehearse for the concert.

It starts tomorrow too.

It’s unbelievable. I don’t even get a break, huh.

[03:07]
I’m so tired. I’m going to take a shower and go to sleep.

Dinner? I don’t want any. I’m not hungry anyway.

You’re so annoying.

Hey… What’s that noise?

Huh? The washing machine?

Turn it off right now.

I told you I’m going to sleep.

You hurry up and come over here too.

Come on…

Why don’t we have a shower together?

It seems like you’ve been behaving yourself recently. I’ve got to take care of you sometimes.

[04:10]
Ah… I feel so much better!

Why are you looking at me like that?

Are you still embarrassed? Just because we had a shower together…

There we go. Come on, come over here quickly.

So… What do you do here during the day?

Hmm… The housework… Even thinking about it seems boring.

There must be a lot you can do, even without leaving the house.

Reading magazines. Watching the TV. Why don’t you use your head a little?

Well… You’re probably not thinking at all.

[05:10]
Hmm… Oh, really? Then tell me about it.

So what kind of things do you think about?

I see… You think about me.

Hmm… Do you love me that much?

I see… Were you imagining things like this?

Like what kind of horrible situation you’ll end up in next…

It’s just as I thought. I was going to sleep early tonight, but now I won’t.

I’m going to have some fun with you.

Huh? You were still doing the laundry?

[06:08]
Didn’t you hear me when I told you to finish it immediately?

The laundry will get creased if you don’t dry it as soon as it’s done.

You’re going to do it now? I really can’t believe it.

Hey. Why are you so slow?

Hurry up and dry the laundry.

Come on!

Hurry up and go outside. You’re going to dry the laundry, aren’t you?

Ah… Looks like the wind is pretty strong today! The laundry should dry right away.

That’s great.

[07:09]
Hey, can you stop touching the glass? You’re going to get fingerprints all over it.

I’m not going to forgive you if you start being noisy.

What do you think is going to happen if the old guy next door sees you dressed like that?

Your underwear is showing.

Huh? Why?

It’s your fault, of course.

You caused all that trouble when I was already in a bad mood.

You still don’t get it? How about you cool down out there for a while?

This really does feel good.

You think crying is going to solve everything?

You’re completely wrong about that.

[08:09]
What is it? I can’t hear you at all.

You’re finally ready to apologise?

So you really want me to forgive you.

Hmm… I see.

Come on. Why don’t you come in?

It’s cold, so hurry up.

For your information, I haven’t forgiven you just yet.

We’ll continue this over there. Got it?

[09:31]
What is it? Practice?

I don’t want to go. I’m really not going.

One day won’t hurt, will it? I’ll just say I’m not feeling well.

You’re so annoying. Be quiet.

Your face is bright red. Did you get reminded of what happened yesterday?

[10:23]
You were pretty happy.

Hey. Shall we do it again now? Something more amazing than yesterday…

There’s no need to hold back. I’m saying I’ll do it for you.

Why don’t you let me spoil you?

Ugh… Who is that?

Hmm? It doesn’t really matter.

[11:11]
It’s one of the band members. They’ll call again if I don’t switch my phone off.

This tastes awful. What is it? It’s gone completely flat.

Just how much do those guys love to practice? I really don’t get it.

If they want to practice so much, they should just go ahead and do it by themselves.

Stop getting me involved. I can always sing perfectly, even if I don’t rehearse.

When are they going to realise that?

They don’t even think how annoying it is for me to practice with amateurs.

Well… At their level, they’d have to practice like crazy, otherwise a concert would be impossible.

[12:08]
They only just manage to keep up with me.

Huh? What is it? Is there a problem?

Friends, huh…

I wouldn’t really struggle without them. I think I can get on fine no matter where I am.

I don’t have to do this as a member of Veronica. I’m just doing this with some people that shitty manager happened to bring along when I transferred record labels. I’m just giving the impression that things are going smoothly because I don’t want any trouble.

The members were chosen for their looks, so of course their skills are third rate.

Huh? What are you talking about?

Tch…

[13:14]
Hey. Are you trying to defend those guys? Well?

Hmm… I see.

You’re my girlfriend, but you’re taking the side of the other members.

Hmm… And why would you do that?

Explain yourself right now.

Come on!

So you can’t even answer.

Why are you looking at me like that?

[14:07]
How much are you going to annoy me before you’re satisfied?

Hey. Give me the ashtray.

Not that. The ashtray.

No. I’m asking you for the ashtray.

Don’t you get it? A-S-H-T-R-A-Y.

Ah… The ash got spilled on the floor because you were so slow.

Was it hot? Of course it was.

It’s your fault though. Everything is your fault.

It’s because you make me angry. I thought you’d be the one who was always on my side.

[15:10]
I was wrong though. You really are a terrible woman.

I’m so tired.

I can’t take it anymore. I’ve had enough.

Hey. Can you leave right now?

I don’t care about you anymore.

Why don’t you cheat on me or something?

Didn’t you hear me?

I’m telling you to get out. Or should I kick you out?

Track 5

Ah… Oh? That was strange. Sorry. Can we do that part again?

Hmm? Where’d I put my cigarettes?

Shut up! That’s…

Ah… No… It’s nothing.

You’re right. I’ll try not to smoke too much.

That might be why I’m having trouble with my voice.

I’m just going to get some fresh air.

Shit… What’s wrong with me?

[01:08]
I messed up a song… Seriously, what’s wrong with me?

I’m out of cigarettes.

I’m really pissed off. It’s all her fault.

That’s why I’m so pissed off.

[02:01]
Huh? What are you talking about?

Just whose fault do you think it is that I ended up soaking wet like this?

It’s all your fault.

Why should I come to your place?

You made me wait all this time. Even though it’s raining so hard.

What are you going to do? Nothing is going right.

It’s all your fault.

It’s your fault that I can’t sing anymore!

No matter I do, I’ve been pissed off since the day you left and it’s distracting me!

Even though this has never happened before…

[03:06]
Hey. I’m asking you what you’re going to do about this!

Answer me! The concert depends on this.

You know that lots of the Cheers are looking forward to the concert, don’t you?

But the way things are going, I definitely won’t make it to the stage!

Do something about it!

You… You have to do something about it!

It’s all your fault! Because you weren’t by my side!

You said you loved me, didn’t you?

Were you lying?

Then why didn’t you stay with me?

[04:07]
Why did you leave me alone?

That’s not important. You would have come back if you really cared about me.

But you left without saying anything and never came back… I can’t believe it.

Does that mean you’re doing fine without me?

Don’t give me that crap!

…Don’t give me that crap!

You think an apology is enough?

Of course that won’t be enough for me to forgive you.

I told you that you had to be mine forever. But you didn’t keep your promise at all!

[05:03]
If you’re really sorry, then I want you to prove it this time.

Come back right now. Otherwise I won’t be able to sing anymore.

Then promise that you won’t leave me again.

Don’t forget what you just said.

If you forget, then I really will kill you.

[06:02]
Even if you run away, I’ll chase you until I find you and then I’ll kill you.

Then you won’t belong to anyone. I’ll make sure that you only belong to me.

Your face looks terrible. Your clothes are soaking wet too. Your hair is a mess.

I won’t forgive you if you let anyone else see you like this.

I’m the only one who can love someone like you.

It’ll be impossible for you to live without me.

Isn’t that right?

[07:25]
Thank you for your hard work today!

Ah… I’m sorry for being so difficult about the schedule!

But I really wanted a personal lesson from you before the concert…

Hehehe… You complimented me!

Now I think I’ll be able to reach an even higher key!

Of course! I’ll send you a ticket, so please come and watch if you can!

It’ll definitely be an amazing concert!

I hope you’ll help me in future too!

They’ll contact me again once the next voice training session is scheduled. Of course you’ll be there too, won’t you? Make sure you’re not late.

Right… There’s something I need to give you.

[08:21]
Here you go. You can see what it is, can’t you?

It’s a new smartphone. Not being able to contact you is inconvenient.

The other members are always making a fuss about me coming to practice, so you’ll come with me too. I’ll be motivated if you do.

By the way… I was the one who bought it for you, so make sure you don’t put anyone else’s number in there. This is obvious, but it’ll be impossible for you to have more than one phone. Don’t use any other phone apart from this one. Got it?

Make sure you come to the concert too, alright?

No… You’ve got to come. I’ll be in trouble if I end up unable to sing again. Wait at the side of the stage in case anything happens and make sure you can be there immediately if I call you.

Depending on the situation, you’ll be doing things like this with me.

[09:27]
Come on. Look up.

I won’t be able to do it if you don’t, will I?

That’s right. Do the next one yourself without me asking you.

More… You’ve got to keep going until I’m satisfied.

Hmm? Is that injury from the other day?

Does it still hurt?

Well… Of course it does.

Burns can leave scars too. This might never fade.

[10:24]
I feel sorry about it happening to a woman.

But it doesn’t really matter, right?

You’re going to be mine from now on, so it doesn’t matter what other people think of you, does it?

You see… I don’t mind. Even if you end up covered in injuries, I’ll still be able to love you.

As long as you stay by my side, that is.

Hey… Why don’t we do something nice?

Yes, something really nice.

[11:12]
Give me your hand. It’s a special charm from me to make the pain go away.

Well, did it work? For your information, I won’t do this for anyone else.

It’s a really special charm, you see. It’s only natural that I wouldn’t do it for just anyone.

It’s alright, isn’t it? My lesson is over. Let’s take advantage of this chance and keep going…

Just for you, okay?
