Well, in the first dub, Yamagata's girlfriend says 'And how about bikes? How are we meant to get home? [Cos we're storming off and leaving our boyfriends]' and he chimes in hopefully with 'I've got a bike.' In the second she says that the guys are just 'tailchasers out of water' and he corrects her 'you mean fish'. Gotta love those crazy translators. Sorry. End Akira geek mode now. And begin BR geek mode. Well. We decided that Shuuya had challenged the Gorillaz to a play-off, in which the conditions were: - no rap - all members of the band(chestrombo) must participate - no one can play 'Why Do Birds Suddenly Appear' or 'Happy Birthday' (in a sneaky attempt to put Keita Iijima out of the running) So Nik and I sat down and thought 'what songs can accommodate a tuba, shamisen, gong, mixing decks, etc?' and came up with those three. Last night we were playing the tracks and working out how it would sound. Mitsuru was doing the Bohemian Rhapsody solo, actually ;) Ah, the joys of post-exam freedom... Yes, we did. Band from 'band' (Nik: obviously) Ches from 'orchestra' and Ombo from 'ombo' (Nik swears blind that this is another word for band, and 'bandchestrombo' sounded so great I didn't want to start an argument about it ^_^)
