Kongming Zhuge : We will lose this battle. |

Kongming Zhuge : I have lost many comrades and vanquished a multitude of foes. |

Kongming Zhuge : Where am I? |

Clubber 2 : Yes? |

Clubber : You must be Kongming, right? |
(0:02:23.54) |
Kongming Zhuge : Indeed, I am Zhuge Liang, courtesy name Kongming. |

(0:02:28.67) |
Clubber 2 : You're super in character! |
(0:02:29.54) |
Clubber 2 : Kongming? Who's that? |
(0:02:30.83) |
Clubber : Ya know, that military strategist with a 100 million IQ? |
(0:02:32.00) |
Clubber 2 : One hundred million IQ! Yeah! |
(0:02:35.08) |
Kongming Zhuge : Are these two minions of Hell? Talk about high quality! |

Clubber 2 : C'mon, drink! Bottoms up! |

Kongming Zhuge : Hell's punishment! |

Clubber : Nice drinkin', man. |

Clubber 2 : It's top-shelf tequila. |

Kongming Zhuge : This, too, must be one of Hell's torments. |

Kongming Zhuge : There is no fighting it. |

Kongming Zhuge : The next realm of Hell? |
(0:02:56.00) |
Kongming Zhuge : Very well. |
(0:02:57.88) |
Kongming Zhuge : I am resigned to accepting my punishment. |
(0:02:59.08) |
Clubber : Yeah! |
(0:03:01.29) |
Kongming Zhuge : Nevertheless, the afterlife sure is bothersomely noisy. |
(0:03:03.33) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Another rejection... |
(0:03:14.38) |
Clubber : We brought Kongming with us! |
(0:03:23.67) |

Kongming Zhuge : Th-this earsplitting din... |
(0:03:27.54) |
Kongming Zhuge : I may be dead in body, but it still stings to my core. |
(0:03:28.96) |
Kongming Zhuge : Where is this sound coming from? |
(0:03:34.79) |
Kongming Zhuge : A songstress of Hell? |
(0:04:00.17) |
Kongming Zhuge : What splendid music. |
(0:04:03.04) |
Kongming Zhuge : The sound washes over me |
(0:04:06.13) |
Kongming Zhuge : like the turbid waters of the Yangtze River. |
(0:04:08.71) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Nobody even listened to my song. |
(0:04:13.92) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Maybe I just don't have talent. |
(0:04:17.50) |
Bartender : Oh, that's not true. |
(0:04:20.08) |
Bartender : You're trying your best. |
(0:04:21.50) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Talent isn't something you get by trying your best. |
(0:04:23.08) |
Kongming Zhuge : Excuse me... |
(0:04:28.13) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Yes? |
(0:04:29.33) |
Eiko Tsukimi : You talking to me? |
(0:04:32.13) |
Kongming Zhuge : I was greatly impressed by your beautiful singing voice. |
(0:04:34.38) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Thank you. |
(0:04:40.00) |
Kongming Zhuge : To think that a songstress of Hell would be so magnificent... |
(0:04:41.71) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Hell? |
(0:04:44.13) |
Kongming Zhuge : Come! I would like you to guide me further into Hell. |
(0:04:45.33) |
Kongming Zhuge : I desire to command a corpse army and engage in battle with the spirits of the war dead! |
(0:04:48.92) |
Bartender : Can I get some help over here? |
(0:04:54.83) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Okay, coming! |
(0:04:56.54) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Well, uh, take care not to drink too much. |
(0:04:57.88) |
Kongming Zhuge : Hell... |
(0:05:04.17) |
Kongming Zhuge : Perhaps it is not all so bad. |
(0:05:05.67) |
Clubber : Found ya, Kongming! |

Eiko Tsukimi : Hey, it's morning; wake up. |
(0:05:51.71) |
Kongming Zhuge : Sima Yi, you fiend... |
(0:05:54.83) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Hey... |
(0:05:59.13) |
Kongming Zhuge : What a wonderful singing voice... |
(0:06:02.13) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Aw, guess I've gotta do it... |
(0:06:09.04) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Oh, you're up. |
(0:06:30.50) |
Kongming Zhuge : That voice... Is that you, Songstress of Hell? |
(0:06:32.13) |
Kongming Zhuge : Did you bring me to this place? |
(0:06:34.88) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Who you callin' "Songstress of Hell"? I saved your life, you know. |
(0:06:36.71) |
Eiko Tsukimi : You would've frozen to death sleeping in the street like that. |
(0:06:40.46) |
Kongming Zhuge : The idea of freezing to death in Hell... |
(0:06:44.25) |
Eiko Tsukimi : What're you on about? Clearly, this ain't Hell. |
(0:06:46.13) |
Kongming Zhuge : This isn't Hell? |
(0:06:49.04) |
Kongming Zhuge : Where in the world am I, then? |
(0:06:51.17) |
Eiko Tsukimi : What now? |
(0:06:57.00) |
Kongming Zhuge : This is how I looked when I was young. |
(0:06:58.00) |
Kongming Zhuge : What sorcery is this? |
(0:07:00.67) |
Eiko Tsukimi : It's just a plain old mirror. |
(0:07:02.50) |
Kongming Zhuge : A mirror? |
(0:07:04.21) |
Kongming Zhuge : This object that is as clear as water? |
(0:07:05.38) |
Kongming Zhuge : If, by chance... |
(0:07:08.83) |
Kongming Zhuge : No, it can't be... |
(0:07:10.08) |
Kongming Zhuge : Ridiculous... |
(0:07:13.00) |
Kongming Zhuge : Surely, I died on the Wuzhang Plains. |
(0:07:14.08) |
Kongming Zhuge : Even the Qimen Dunjia had nothing to say about reincarnation techniques. |
(0:07:16.46) |
Kongming Zhuge : However, it is a fact I have been restored to life. |
(0:07:20.75) |
Kongming Zhuge : This heartbeat is genuine. |
(0:07:23.38) |
Eiko Tsukimi : If you've sobered up, I'd appreciate it if you head home. |
(0:07:25.29) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Hey, you're not gettin' any funny ideas, are ya? |
(0:07:30.04) |
Kongming Zhuge : Please excuse me. I just got to thinking is all. |
(0:07:32.33) |
Kongming Zhuge : Would it not be good fun to use my intellect |
(0:07:35.50) |
Kongming Zhuge : to aim to unify the land for the sake of its people in today's world as well? |
(0:07:37.58) |
Kongming Zhuge : I forgot to introduce myself: |
(0:07:43.17) |
Kongming Zhuge : I am Zhuge Liang, courtesy name Kongming. |
(0:07:45.13) |
Eiko Tsukimi : I'm Eiko Tsukimi. |
(0:07:50.75) |
Eiko Tsukimi : You can call me Eiko. |
(0:07:52.75) |
Kongming Zhuge : So the songstress goes by the name of Eiko. |
(0:07:54.08) |
Eiko Tsukimi : More importantly, it seems you don't have a wallet or smartphone on you. |
(0:07:58.83) |
Eiko Tsukimi : You gonna be alright? Can you get home? |
(0:08:02.08) |
Kongming Zhuge : Hm? What is a "smartphone"? |
(0:08:03.96) |
Eiko Tsukimi : What? You a flip phone user or something? |
(0:08:05.67) |
Eiko Tsukimi : This here! |
(0:08:08.42) |
Kongming Zhuge : What kind of book is this? |
(0:08:11.21) |
Kongming Zhuge : Words appear only to disappear again. |
(0:08:13.54) |
Kongming Zhuge : For there to be such detailed pictures on such a small object... |
(0:08:15.21) |
Eiko Tsukimi : You some kinda geezer?! |
(0:08:18.13) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Just drink some water and calm down. |
(0:08:19.33) |
Kongming Zhuge : This material is like that of a cicada's husk! |
(0:08:21.17) |
Eiko Tsukimi : It's a plastic bottle! |
(0:08:22.92) |
Kongming Zhuge : Eiko! What does the movement of the long and short pointers signify?! |
(0:08:23.96) |
Eiko Tsukimi : It's a clock! |
(0:08:27.54) |
Kongming Zhuge : Eiko! There is water boiling! We must put out the fire! |
(0:08:28.54) |
Eiko Tsukimi : It's a humidifier! |
(0:08:31.13) |
Kongming Zhuge : Eiko! |
(0:08:32.13) |
Kongming Zhuge : Air conditioner! Eiko! |
(0:08:32.54) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Air conditioner! Eiko! |
(0:08:32.54) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Air conditioner! Eiko! |
(0:08:33.13) |
Kongming Zhuge : Air conditioner! Eiko! |
(0:08:33.13) |
Kongming Zhuge : Computer! Eiko! |
(0:08:33.63) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Computer! Eiko! |
(0:08:33.63) |
Kongming Zhuge : Heiko, vut is dis? |
(0:08:34.33) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Sorry, I don't actually know either... |
(0:08:36.54) |
Kongming Zhuge : Goodness me. |
(0:08:39.79) |
Kongming Zhuge : There are so many things in this world of which I am ignorant. |
(0:08:41.67) |
Eiko Tsukimi : What is it you DO know about? |
(0:08:45.33) |
Kongming Zhuge : Will you be so kind as to as at least teach me to use this smartphone? |
(0:08:47.13) |
Eiko Tsukimi : No way! What a pain! |
(0:08:51.21) |
Kongming Zhuge : Talent is not something with which one is born. |
(0:08:53.17) |
Kongming Zhuge : I believe that it is developed through learning. |
(0:08:57.17) |
Kongming Zhuge : Should I gain wisdom, it is my intention to use it for your benefit. |
(0:09:00.79) |
Eiko Tsukimi : All right, fine. |
(0:09:08.50) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Until I leave for work, anyway. |
(0:09:09.88) |
Kongming Zhuge : And what, pray tell, is the blockchain? |
(0:09:12.96) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Enough already! |
(0:09:15.46) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Question after question for four hours! Just who are you?! |
(0:09:16.75) |
Kongming Zhuge : Zhuge Kongming, as I said. I even have a Wiki page. |
(0:09:19.25) |
Eiko Tsukimi : How long you gonna keep up that act?! |
(0:09:22.13) |
Eiko Tsukimi : What's your deal? |
(0:09:25.67) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Kongming is some Chinese historical figure, right?! |
(0:09:26.75) |
Eiko Tsukimi : You speak Japanese fluently! |
(0:09:29.33) |
Eiko Tsukimi : What's with that? |
(0:09:31.50) |
Kongming Zhuge : Good point. |
(0:09:32.58) |
Kongming Zhuge : I found myself naturally speaking Japanese without realizing it. |
(0:09:33.79) |
Kongming Zhuge : I can also comprehend these characters |
(0:09:38.05) |
Kongming Zhuge : as though I've known them since my past life. |
(0:09:40.33) |
Kongming Zhuge : It's as though I have been readied for this life. |
(0:09:42.42) |
Eiko Tsukimi : According to this Wiki page, you've been dead a long time. |
(0:09:44.92) |
Kongming Zhuge : Indeed, which is why it seems I have been sent to this era for some reason. |
(0:09:47.83) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Get real! |
(0:09:52.13) |
Kongming Zhuge : Yellow Turban Rebellion, Battle of Guandu, Battle of Red Cliffs... |
(0:09:53.25) |
Kongming Zhuge : So this is how they've been passed down in later ages. |
(0:09:56.46) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Yeah, yeah. |
(0:09:59.21) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Well, I've got work, so I'm gonna wash my face. |
(0:10:00.29) |
Kongming Zhuge : The year 216 CE: Cao Cao became King of Wei. |
(0:10:03.96) |
Kongming Zhuge : The year 219 CE: Lui Bei became King of Hanzhong. |
(0:10:07.04) |
Kongming Zhuge : It really takes me back. |
(0:10:11.17) |
Kongming Zhuge : November 263 CE... |
(0:10:13.08) |
Kongming Zhuge : So, Shu ended up falling, after all. |
(0:10:24.88) |
Kongming Zhuge : After that, the Sima clan unified the country, |
(0:10:32.92) |
Kongming Zhuge : but alas that did not last long before devolving into another turbulent period. |
(0:10:36.33) |
Kongming Zhuge : Now, 1,800 years later... |
(0:10:40.21) |
Kongming Zhuge : there is no longer a single face I recognize. |
(0:10:43.71) |
Eiko Tsukimi : What's wrong, Kongming? |
(0:10:51.08) |
Kongming Zhuge : Oh, it's nothing. |
(0:10:53.21) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Two, three... |
(0:11:17.04) |
Kongming Zhuge : This must be... |
(0:11:56.83) |
Kongming Zhuge : a love song about someone who is held dear. |
(0:11:58.33) |
Liu Bei : Kongming... |
(0:12:02.83) |
Liu Bei : Kongming... |
(0:12:04.83) |
Liu Bei : Peace and tranquility! |
(0:12:07.08) |
Liu Bei : Let us create a world without war! |
(0:12:08.75) |
Kongming Zhuge : Your singing has the power to energize people. |
(0:12:44.08) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Really? |
(0:12:47.50) |
Eiko Tsukimi : I'm still just an amateur, though. |
(0:12:49.13) |
Kongming Zhuge : What is an "amateur"? |
(0:12:51.46) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Kind of a like an apprentice? |
(0:12:53.96) |
Kongming Zhuge : Nevertheless, the other music at the club last night sounded like dreadful noise to my ears. |
(0:12:56.00) |
Eiko Tsukimi : No way! The crowd was pumped! |
(0:13:02.71) |
Eiko Tsukimi : You're so lame, Kongming! |
(0:13:04.50) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Grasping the current trends is key. Look! |
(0:13:06.13) |
Kongming Zhuge : I'm hearing an inscrutable tootle. |
(0:13:09.38) |
Kongming Zhuge : Is that a flute? |
(0:13:11.67) |
Eiko Tsukimi : It's EDM! |
(0:13:12.88) |
Kongming Zhuge : The singer is quite good, anyway. |
(0:13:14.29) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Right?! |
(0:13:16.67) |
Kongming Zhuge : Eiko, I have taken a keen interest in the music of this era. |
(0:13:19.50) |
Kongming Zhuge : However, I am still ignorant of the ways of this world. |
(0:13:24.71) |
Kongming Zhuge : I would like to broaden my knowledge. |
(0:13:28.17) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Yeah! Now you're talking! |
(0:13:31.08) |
Eiko Tsukimi : I just know you'll get hooked on music! |
(0:13:32.46) |
Kongming Zhuge : Such being the case... |
(0:13:34.75) |
Kongming Zhuge : ...in order to procure a war chest, |
(0:13:36.54) |
Kongming Zhuge : I ask for your help in finding employment. |
(0:13:38.46) |
Eiko Tsukimi : You're unemployed?! |
(0:13:40.79) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Ya Boy Kongming! |
(0:13:42.79) |
Kobayashi : You? |
(0:13:48.75) |
Kobayashi : Tryin' to play yourself off as Kongming, huh, punk? |
(0:13:50.25) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Go on, introduce yourself! |
(0:13:53.67) |
Eiko Tsukimi : With your REAL name. |
(0:13:55.17) |
Kongming Zhuge : I am Zhuge Liang, courtesy name Kongming. |
(0:13:56.75) |
Kongming Zhuge : No, not your alter ego! I am Zhuge Liang, courtesy name Kongming. |
(0:13:59.13) |
Eiko Tsukimi : No, not your alter ego! I am Zhuge Liang, courtesy name Kongming. |
(0:13:59.13) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Owner, just calm down! |
(0:14:01.33) |
Kobayashi : If you're really Kongming... |
(0:14:02.88) |
Kobayashi : then why'd you send Ma Su to Jieting? |
(0:14:05.21) |
Eiko Tsukimi : "Ma-su"? What's that? |
(0:14:08.92) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Muscle? |
(0:14:10.50) |
Kobayashi : Ma Su was a favored apprentice of Kongming's. |
(0:14:11.50) |
Kobayashi : Overriding opposing voices, |
(0:14:14.96) |
Kobayashi : Kongming left the defense of a strategic point in Ma Su's hands. |
(0:14:16.58) |
Kobayashi : But as a result, |
(0:14:19.50) |
Kobayashi : their forces were unable to stave off the enemy and they lost the battle. |
(0:14:20.83) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Wait, what? |
(0:14:24.13) |
Eiko Tsukimi : You showed favoritism to your apprentice? |
(0:14:25.33) |
Kobayashi : Well?! |
(0:14:28.21) |
Kobayashi : Surely, the real Kongming could answer me. |
(0:14:29.88) |
Kongming Zhuge : At the time, Shu was short on talented men, |
(0:14:33.21) |
Kongming Zhuge : and we were in need of new regional officials. |
(0:14:35.67) |
Kongming Zhuge : Certainly some voices were pushing for Wei Yan or Wu Yi, |
(0:14:38.33) |
Kongming Zhuge : but we would've never developed successors following that path. |
(0:14:41.50) |
Kongming Zhuge : The job was just to stop an advance, |
(0:14:44.38) |
Kongming Zhuge : so Ma Su should be easily able to handle it. |
(0:14:46.46) |
Kongming Zhuge : That was my assessment. |
(0:14:48.92) |
Kobayashi : But it didn't work out that way. |
(0:14:50.54) |
Kobayashi : You put too much faith in Ma Su! |
(0:14:53.21) |
Kongming Zhuge : It seems Ma Su had a plan involving assailing Chang'an. |
(0:14:56.04) |
Kongming Zhuge : Thinking back now, |
(0:15:00.13) |
Kongming Zhuge : perhaps he allowed the enemy to pass in order to press me to storm Chang'an. |
(0:15:01.38) |
Kobayashi : So rather than it being a failure he planned it? |
(0:15:06.54) |
Kongming Zhuge : I do wonder... |
(0:15:09.25) |
Kongming Zhuge : Perhaps it is only what I want to believe. |
(0:15:10.38) |
Eiko Tsukimi : What's with you two? What're you talking about? |
(0:15:13.46) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Why're you crying?! |
(0:15:16.50) |
Kobayashi : Justice before generosity, tears be damned. |
(0:15:17.96) |
Kobayashi : Kongming tearfully executed the defeated Ma Su to preserve troop discipline. |
(0:15:20.21) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Talk about strict! |
(0:15:24.54) |
Kobayashi : He was a precious man of talent. |
(0:15:26.29) |
Kongming Zhuge : Indeed, that he was. |
(0:15:28.08) |
Kobayashi : This guy's totally Kongming! |
(0:15:36.21) |
Kobayashi : The clothing is spot on, too! |
(0:15:38.17) |
Kobayashi : I prefer plainer garb myself, though. |
(0:15:39.54) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Owner? |
(0:15:41.96) |
Kobayashi : I've wanted a worker to talk about "Records of the Three Kingdoms" with. |
(0:15:42.96) |
Kobayashi : None of the kids these days know about that stuff. |
(0:15:46.38) |
Eiko Tsukimi : So, you're saying... |
(0:15:48.92) |
Kobayashi : Yep, he's hired! |
(0:15:49.96) |
Kobayashi : Can you start today? |
(0:15:51.46) |
Kongming Zhuge : At your service. |
(0:15:52.50) |
Kobayashi : I have Kongming serving under me at long last! |
(0:15:54.63) |
Kobayashi : Oh, right, stay dressed just like that! |
(0:15:57.17) |
Kongming Zhuge : Nothing would suit me better. |
(0:15:59.08) |
Kobayashi : Eiko, get him up to speed! |
(0:16:00.58) |
Bartender : It's almost time for us to open. |
(0:16:02.29) |
Kobayashi : Hey, what happened to your eye patch? |
(0:16:05.17) |
Bartender : Well, yesterday was Halloween, so... |
(0:16:07.63) |
Kobayashi : You looked like Xiahou Dun! It was great! Well, yesterday was Halloween, so... |
(0:16:08.50) |
Kobayashi : You looked like Xiahou Dun! It was great! |
(0:16:09.50) |
Eiko Tsukimi : You looked like Xiahou Dun! It was great! That Three Kingdoms nerd... |
(0:16:09.96) |
Kobayashi : You looked like Xiahou Dun! It was great! That Three Kingdoms nerd... |
(0:16:09.96) |
Eiko Tsukimi : That Three Kingdoms nerd... |
(0:16:10.96) |
Eiko Tsukimi : First off, congrats are in order! |
(0:16:13.63) |
Kongming Zhuge : Thank you. |
(0:16:15.50) |
Kongming Zhuge : It is all due to your assistance. |
(0:16:17.17) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Yeah, that's it. |
(0:16:20.58) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Just squeeze the lime there and it's all done. |
(0:16:21.75) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Another failure... |
(0:16:30.29) |
Kongming Zhuge : Something wrong? |
(0:16:31.75) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Oh, nothing! |
(0:16:32.75) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Anyway, think you can remember the cocktail recipes and prices? |
(0:16:33.79) |
Kongming Zhuge : Yes, I'll manage. |
(0:16:37.21) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Well, just let me know if you have any questions. |
(0:16:38.71) |
Kongming Zhuge : Thank you. |
(0:16:41.50) |
Kongming Zhuge : There is something I'd like to ask... |
(0:16:42.92) |
Kongming Zhuge : The song playing is quite a bit slower than the music last night, isn't it? |
(0:16:45.25) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Ah, well after we open we play stuff that's around 100 BPM for a while. |
(0:16:50.71) |
Kongming Zhuge : What is "BPM"? |
(0:16:56.13) |
Eiko Tsukimi : A song's tempo. |
(0:16:57.75) |
Eiko Tsukimi : The music last night was between 130 and 160. |
(0:16:59.33) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Fast tempo songs get people pumped up, you know? |
(0:17:02.88) |
Kongming Zhuge : I see... |
(0:17:05.21) |
Kongming Zhuge : It's true that when Zhang Fei was throwing back liquor, the onlookers' handclaps increased in pace. |
(0:17:06.29) |
Kobayashi : You guys talking about the Three Kingdoms?! |
(0:17:11.08) |
EXTRA : Hey, is my drink ready?! |
(0:17:18.21) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Yes! Hey, is my drink ready?! |
(0:17:19.04) |
EXTRA : Hurry and ring me up. |
(0:17:19.67) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Coming! Hurry and ring me up. |
(0:17:20.58) |
Eiko Tsukimi : We're super busy today. |
(0:17:21.46) |
Eiko Tsukimi : I wonder if Kongming's doing all right? |
(0:17:23.58) |
Kongming Zhuge : Your gin tonic and daiquiri are ready. |
(0:17:24.92) |
Kongming Zhuge : I have a martini and a Bacardi here. |
(0:17:27.08) |
Kongming Zhuge : Your salty dog and gin tonic are ready. |
(0:17:29.29) |
Kongming Zhuge : That will be 1,700 yen with tax. |
(0:17:30.67) |
Kongming Zhuge : By card? Certainly, sir. |
(0:17:32.29) |
Eiko Tsukimi : This really your first time? |
(0:17:34.25) |
Kongming Zhuge : This is easier than making tea. |
(0:17:37.46) |
EXTRA : Beer, please! |
(0:17:39.42) |
EXTRA : Same here! Beer, please! |
(0:17:40.04) |
EXTRA : Same here! Screwdriver for me! |
(0:17:40.88) |
EXTRA : Frozen daiquiri over here! Screwdriver for me! |
(0:17:41.54) |
Kongming Zhuge : Certainly. |
(0:17:42.71) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Take care of the cocktails, please. |
(0:17:45.63) |
Eiko Tsukimi : I'll handle the beer and register. |
(0:17:46.75) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Sorry about the wait! |
(0:17:55.33) |
Kobayashi : Eiko, I'll take over. |
(0:17:58.54) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Um, I'll be fine. |
(0:18:00.13) |
Kobayashi : Get up there and sing. |
(0:18:01.75) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Yes, sir! |
(0:18:05.29) |
EXTRA : One fuzzy navel, ple- |
(0:18:07.83) |
Kongming Zhuge : Eiko's songs truly are wonderful. |
(0:18:17.50) |
Kobayashi : It's such a waste... |
(0:18:21.00) |
Kobayashi : I think Eiko would make it further at a major agency |
(0:18:23.67) |
Kobayashi : than a club like this |
(0:18:26.08) |
Kobayashi : that isn't known for singer-focused events. |
(0:18:27.33) |
Kongming Zhuge : What do you mean by "major agency"? |
(0:18:30.63) |
Kobayashi : Uh, like the Wei army. |
(0:18:32.25) |
Kongming Zhuge : Ah, I see. |
(0:18:34.17) |
Kobayashi : Seems she really lets her guard down around you. |
(0:18:35.67) |
Kobayashi : I won't pry, but know that that's rare for her. |
(0:18:39.33) |
Kobayashi : That said... |
(0:18:43.67) |
Kobayashi : don't you betray her if you know what's good for ya. |
(0:18:45.54) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Whew, we're finally done! |
(0:18:52.54) |
Eiko Tsukimi : You gotta be tired after stepping into a job so suddenly. |
(0:18:54.83) |
Kongming Zhuge : Not at all. |
(0:18:57.92) |
Kongming Zhuge : After hearing your lovely singing, my fatigue melted away. |
(0:18:58.92) |
Eiko Tsukimi : I-I can't believe you can say that with a straight face. |
(0:19:03.54) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Aren't you embarrassed? |
(0:19:06.71) |
Eiko Tsukimi : I am happy to hear it, though. |
(0:19:08.38) |
Kongming Zhuge : Without ever expressing what was in their hearts... |
(0:19:10.63) |
Kongming Zhuge : ...I saw many a man fall on the battlefield. |
(0:19:13.08) |
Kongming Zhuge : Frank opinions and honest sentiments should be expressed while one is alive to do so. |
(0:19:17.75) |
Kongming Zhuge : That is my belief. |
(0:19:23.04) |
Kongming Zhuge : So, what drew you to music? |
(0:19:27.08) |
Eiko Tsukimi : I went through a lot in my high school years. |
(0:19:32.33) |
Eiko Tsukimi : I was in a bad place mentally, |
(0:19:36.75) |
Eiko Tsukimi : and when I came to Shibuya on a school trip... |
(0:19:39.33) |
Kobayashi : Damned kid... |
(0:19:46.38) |
Kobayashi : We've got a special guest tonight, so at least wait till after that before dyin'. |
(0:19:48.29) |
Eiko Tsukimi : The performance that night... |
(0:19:55.54) |
Eiko Tsukimi : The singer's voice... |
(0:19:58.79) |
Eiko Tsukimi : ...shook me. |
(0:20:02.63) |
Eiko Tsukimi : I later learned she was a singer from America. |
(0:20:05.17) |
Eiko Tsukimi : I realized this was no time to die. |
(0:20:09.42) |
Eiko Tsukimi : I wanted to move someone the way she moved me. |
(0:20:12.38) |
Eiko Tsukimi : But... |
(0:20:16.71) |
Eiko Tsukimi : I'm thinking of giving up on being a singer. |
(0:20:19.46) |
Eiko Tsukimi : I love singing and want to keep doing it, but I keep on failing all my auditions. |
(0:20:23.21) |
Eiko Tsukimi : I feel... |
(0:20:28.96) |
Eiko Tsukimi : like I don't have any talent. |
(0:20:31.04) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Honestly, I was thinking it's a good time to quit. |
(0:20:33.83) |
Kongming Zhuge : Eiko, please have confidence in yourself. |
(0:20:38.63) |
Kongming Zhuge : You see, your music has offered salvation to someone right in front of you. |
(0:20:43.13) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Even so... |
(0:20:48.00) |
Kongming Zhuge : You have the power to convey your feelings to others. |
(0:20:49.04) |
Kongming Zhuge : Perhaps others can't see it, but I am convinced. |
(0:20:52.92) |
Kongming Zhuge : Besides, if you were to quit, I am sure your fans would be sad. |
(0:20:56.42) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Like I have any fans. |
(0:21:00.75) |
Kongming Zhuge : Do you not have one right here? |
(0:21:02.17) |
Kongming Zhuge : Thrice... |
(0:21:06.63) |
Kongming Zhuge : I have heard you sing three times now, Eiko. |
(0:21:07.96) |
Kongming Zhuge : My heart trembled, |
(0:21:11.21) |
Kongming Zhuge : and I thought,"I would like many more people to be touched by this music." |
(0:21:12.46) |
Kongming Zhuge : Thrice I've been called on... |
(0:21:17.42) |
Kongming Zhuge : As a scholar who devours texts in his cottage, |
(0:21:19.04) |
Kongming Zhuge : to not respond to a person of ambition would make me dishonorable. |
(0:21:21.79) |
Kongming Zhuge : Therefore, I shall be your tactician. |
(0:21:26.13) |
Kongming Zhuge : Eiko, what is your dream? |
(0:21:33.33) |
Kongming Zhuge : To debut as a professional singer? |
(0:21:35.21) |
Kongming Zhuge : To gather an audience 10,000 strong? |
(0:21:36.46) |
Kongming Zhuge : No matter what may come, no matter how difficult the road, |
(0:21:39.46) |
Kongming Zhuge : I, Kongming, will move heaven and earth to assist you. |
(0:21:43.50) |
Kongming Zhuge : Command me at your will. |
(0:21:47.58) |
Kongming Zhuge : In some small way, I wise to wish to tax my ingenuity. |
(0:21:49.58) |
Eiko Tsukimi : "Command," you say? |
(0:21:53.46) |
Eiko Tsukimi : You really are in character. |
(0:21:56.50) |
Eiko Tsukimi : But when you put it like that... |
(0:21:59.54) |
Eiko Tsukimi : Jeez, you're not playing fair! |
(0:22:01.92) |
Eiko Tsukimi : You're making me want to do my best. |
(0:22:04.04) |
Kongming Zhuge : I could ask for nothing better. |
(0:22:08.50) |
