episode #4 "Baseball Tickets"
Ah, I'm nervous!
When I was still a kid, my dad had already passed away.
My mom had not remarried and raised me by herself.
She didn't have any education, so she worked at a small shop.
There were good people in my town.
We were able to live nicely.
But we did not have enough money left to spare for amusement...
Every Sunday, we went to a riverside with homemade lunch boxes.
Every time she got paid, I got a sweet bread and orange juice from her.
One day...
my mom got two baseball tickets.
I was so excited! And my mom prepared my favourite food for the trip.
The lunch boxes were even better than usual.
We had finally arrived at the stadium.
When we were entering a clerk stopped us.
Apparently my mom
wasn't given invitation tickets
they were complementary tickets...
That sucks...
We were told that we needed to pay $40 to get inside.
We only had enough money left to get back home...
So we ate the lunch boxes outside of the stadium
and went back home...
I said to my mom who was being quiet on the train back home...
"It was fun!"
My mom said...
"Your mother is a fool! I am sorry!"
Her eyes were tearing up...
Dear mom,
the fried chicken you prepared that day
was really delicious...
Song #5 "Chicken Rice" Performing artists: Makihara Noriyuki Hamada Masatoshi Lyrics: Matsumoto Hitoshi
What is a dutiful son?
I wonder...
But the act of wondering about it
might already be an act of
a dutiful son...
As a child sometimes we'd go out to eat as a family
I would always order chicken rice
I believed that if I ordered something too expensive
They'd never be able to take me out again...
So unfair...
The way
in which I
considered
my parent's feelings...
Could it be understood by kids these days?
Today is Christmas
The streets are bustling and noisy with festivals
Turkey just feels too awkward
I'm still alright with just chicken rice
What is poverty?
I wonder...
With depression upon depression, laughter
was the only way to fulfill those times...
only way
When telling stories about my past
"Chicken Rice" was written by Matsumoto about his poor childhood
Their faces say: "Bragging about how poor you were?"
But that's how poor we were...
Let me at least have some pride about this!
In the end...
I'll switch
back
to comedy...
But will this be disliked by kids these days?
Today is Christmas
Project Healing Celebrities:
Midnight Lincoln Radio
The streets are bustling and noisy with festivals
Celebrities being emotionally affected by "Chicken Rice"
Gentle expressions that are barely shown
on television
Turkey just feels too awkward
I'm still alright with just chicken rice
Surely, it looks like they are healed
By the third time he started crying
Udo broke down...
Now that I can order anything
I no longer have to order chicken rice
And take my parents feelings into consideration
I'm able to order whatever I like
As the
steam...
from the rice
gathered...
I can't forget the smiles I saw then
Today is Christmas
Today is Christmas!
The streets are bustling and noisy with festivals
And noisy with festivals!
Bring me a huge cake
Well, no, make it small enough so I can finish it
Reserve the Akasaka Prince Hotel
I'm not going to ask for a suite, but
Bring me a turkey! So this is a turkey?!?
Bring me a turkey! So this is a turkey!?!
It's bigger than I thought
As I thought, I'm still alright with just chicken rice
How was the show?
It's time to say goodbye and see you next time!
Wonderful!
The time to part ways has come.
Wonderful!
But could you first do me a favour?
Could you call
the most important person to you right now
and say...
"Thank you"
Thank you very much.
That's all for tonight with DJ Yamaguchi.
This was Midnight Lincoln! See you next time!
Pisses me off!
What the hell!
That last part was unfair...
Midnight Lincoln is so good...
That entire story was good...
Who is that...
He is calling his wife
Hello...
Hello!
It's just me.
Yes?
Thanks for everything you do...
That was all. See you later!
Hello? Tsubuyaki? This is Ootake.
He is calling his younger friend
Hello? Tsubuyaki? This is Ootake.
Don't you quit.
Thanks for everything.
Alright, see you later.
Thank you for everything!
He is calling his wife
That's it, so I'll hang up now.
That was so embarrassing!
He is calling his mom
Thank you for everything!
Nothing is wrong with me.
Hi.
He is calling his mom
This is Hiroyuki.
Sorry it's so late.
Can I just say one thing?
Thank you!
Everything is alright! I'm healthy!
She won't pick up...
He's calling his mom but she isn't answering...
Mom, are you sleeping?
Mom, thank you so much!
and now the very emotional Hamada...
What the hell is this program?
and now the very emotional Hamada...
Damn it!
I cried...
He seems at peace even though he's swearing...
Damn!
This was kind of unfair!
All the members are completely "at peace".
