米津玄師 × 宇多田ヒカル – JANE DOE対談

米津玄師 × 宇多田ヒカル – JANE DOE対談

I bought your single, “Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro,” So I asked myself, ‘How should I sing this in a way that feels like me?’ Is this about the crow became friends with? Yes! I think that’s it! I wanted to be a manga artist too when I was in elementary Really? it occurred to me that Utada-san is the only one who could pull this off Hikaru Utada for Kenshi Yonezu This is probably our second time, right? Yes. We did a video call once, and this is our second time meeting in person. The first time we met was through mutual friends. I went to a mutual friend’s house, and another mutual friend was there. That’s right.
We were like, “Let’s call him.” Is that what happened? “Let’s call him.” “Do you think he’ll come?” “I don’t know.” “He might not even respond.” Got it. And then, ta-da! You showed up! I went there quite late, didn’t I? It was late, but you came at just the right time. We were all relaxed, just chilling out. We didn’t really have any productive conversation. You think so? I was talking about the three-legged crow… Is this about the crow became friends with? Yes! I think that’s it! I used to live in an apartment with a rooftop. I went up there a lot, and there was this crow I saw often. I went up there a lot, and there was this crow I saw often. (Uh-huh) I would bring rice balls and feed rice grains… It’s this story, right? I was already drunk, so I don’t remember the details. I’d love to hear it again. As I was giving him rice grains and stuff, we became familiar with each other. My room was just below the rooftop, and I heard a knock on my window while I was sleeping. When I opened the window, it was the crow. Was it hungry? Or just came to say hi? I don’t know. I was impressed by how he managed to find out where I lived. That’s so true. I wonder if he used its sense of hearing or something… I don’t know. Maybe he saw you from outside the window. No, he couldn’t have. Wow… Maybe he checked out all the windows of that apartment. Imagine that. But if a stranger came out, the crow would also be in danger, so it must have sensed something. I see. If that crow flew by now, I think you’ll look perfect together. I’m dressed like a crow too. True. We both do. I can totally relate. Really? I’m not even sure that was the story I told that night. I do remember having a blast with the crow story. You also talked about growing up surrounded by nature. Caption: Memories of Tokushima: Kenshi Yonezu’s Hometown Oh, yes. Like how pitch dark the roads are at night. Oh, yes. Tokushima, right? Yes. It’s a place that holds a special place to me. I didn’t know that I was 17 when I went on my first nationwide tour. I had barely done any shows before that, and back then I didn’t know how to take care of myself after suddenly becoming so famous. I was struggling to adjust. I felt so unwell during the tour, to the point that I had to cancel a show at the last minute. I just couldn’t do it anymore. As it turned out, that was the Tokushima show. I see. The fans were already waiting in their seats, but we had to cancel. I felt terrible and didn’t know what to do. I’m sure there were people who were upset. Since it wasn’t a place like Tokyo, some people seemed hurt, thinking the show was canceled for a minor reason. I kept thinking, ‘No, that’s not it!’ After that, I was able to continue the tour. After the final show, we were able to hold a rescheduled show in Tokushima. Really And most of the fans showed up. Wow. Feeling the warmth of the people made me really happy. I remember that. What, really? I don’t remember or didn’t know about the cancellation, but I do remember it being a big deal—Hikaru Utada coming to Tokushima. I was still in elementary school. You’re 8 years younger than me, so you must have been about 9. Yes. I was in elementary school and I vaguely remember everyone being so excited. Really. Yes, I do. And here we are now. I know. Must be fate. It felt so surreal, like I was in a dream. Caption:Hikaru Utada for Kenshi Yonezu When I was in junior high, I bought your single, “Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro,” and listened to it intently. That was kind of my first encounter with your music. I mean, I already knew Hikaru Utada as someone famous, but that was the first time I truly discovered your incredible talent. Back when I was in elementary school, I couldn’t relate to it. So, as I started getting into music, I don’t remember exactly how, but I bought that single on CD. I loved that song so much. I’m so happy to hear that. I remember playing that CD on my stereo on repeat. Thank you so much. I also love “FINAL DISTANCE.” You seem to like the darker songs. Yes that’s right. Since then, whenever I meet someone or make new friends, we often talk about w”What is your our favorite Hikaru Utada song is?”. (Really) Kind of like asking people, “What’s your favorite Studio Ghibli film?”
Kind of like asking people, “What’s your favorite Studio Ghibli film?” And when we talk about your songs, most of the people I become friends with like “FINAL DISTANCE.” Oh, really? And I’ll be like, “I know, right?” It happened quite a few times. I just love that song. Also, I went to see your show in Yokohama. (Oh, I didn’t know.) I did Thank you. And you did the remix, almost like a UK Garage version of that song. “DISTANCE.” Yes. And it sounded incredible. It’s rather odd to say it was good, isn’t it? No, thank you.
I had a lot of fun with that song. It was one of the highlights of the tour. I loved how you seemed to be having so much fun, full of joy, even as you sang “Though we can’t be one”. That’s right. That really struck a chord with me. Oh, thank you so much for coming. I missed your show in London the other day. That’s OK. I’m sorry. Next time. Please. How was London? It was my first time to perform in Europe. It’s so different. Even within Europe, each country has its own cultural uniqueness and character. And they’re very passionate. They’re very straightforward when it comes to expressing their feelings. Even in France I felt the ground shaking. (Wow) It made me realize how long they had been waiting. I don’t know how many of the people at the shows understood Japanese, But they were pretty loud. I was really happy. Maybe they’re learning Japanese through your songs. Maybe. I’ll make sure to go next time. Caption: Kenshi Yonezu as seen by Hikaru Utada Before we met, I thought of him as someone who drew. Really? I must have heard from someone that you design (draw) your own CD artwork. After seeing a few of your CD covers, I could tell stylistically that he must be the one drawing them. If not you, I’d guess it would probably be the same artist but even that wouldn’t really make sense.
Just a vague observation. I’m the opposite. It wasn’t something I asked for, but all my album covers since my debut are close-ups of me. That’s right. It kind of just happened that way. But I like drawing too. So that got me curious. I saw you as a unique singer-songwriter. When I say unique, I don’t mean it like others aren’t. But there was something about you that made you instantly recognizable. I’m happy to hear that. I’m so sorry, but I’m still very nervous. Caption:Today’s interview was recorded straight after the music video shoot
Oh, no. But I guess this whole setup here doesn’t help either. I mean, it’s so surreal. Like I said earlier, being here taking photos and shooting the music video with Hikaru Utada, I’m doing my best to look calm and professional, but it’s all been just mind-blowing. I’ve felt this strange feeling for a while too. Somehow, even slight physical contact actually felt kind of safe. During the shoot, when we were back-to-back and our hair touched – not exactly touching, but little moments like our shoulders brushing over our clothes, felt comforting. Especially since the shoot started with the back-to-back scene, being close together felt more real than being far apart. It helped me feel more relaxed. I know. There was this one moment where we totally connected. It reminded us how tough times shared can truly bring people closer and unite them. So true. As soon as they called “Cut,” I felt a pain run through my neck. We had to keep our necks in that sore position, and I was thinking I could barely hang in there for this one take. And just when I thought we were done, they called for another take. We were like, “Not again.” I know. But it was a beautiful shot. I can’t wait to see how it turns out. Me too. Well, there’s this manga called CHAINSAW MAN. I was asked to write the ending theme for the film adaptation. They were kind enough to let me do whatever I want. The first thing that came to mind was that I shouldn’t be the one to sing it. I felt my voice was too low, and I just couldn’t picture myself singing the song. So I started writing the song imagining someone else singing it. As I was working on the piano riff and other parts, it occurred to me that Utada-san is the only one who could pull this off. Once I had that thought, there was no turning back. I asked my team to give it a try. So we reached out to you, and you kindly accepted. I couldn’t believe it at first when I heard that you said yes. I’m so happy to hear that. But does that happen often— like, when you’re writing a song and feel like someone else should sing it? Yes. Mostly it’s because my voice is deep and it doesn’t carry very well. You think so? Don’t you? Are you kidding?? I don’t think many people do. Oh. (Uh-huh) In that case, our perceptions may vary. Do you mean you don’t like your voice? Umm… I used to hate it. (Oh) It always felt like my voice can only hit long notes. I also used to hate being so tall. (Uh-huh) I admire people who are shorter. Being too tall kind of takes away the main character presence, don’t you think? That’s your reason? I can imagine there must be challenges. That too. Right? You stand out even if you don’t want to. You draw attention whether you like it or not. That’s true. This is just my personal impression, but I feel like shorter people tend to be more powerful and energetic. I remember being envious of the small kids, because they were so lively and energetic. Were you always tall as a child? Yes. I was huge from the moment I was born. I guess not liking my own voice was an extension of that. But the more I kept singing over the years, the more I found myself growing attached to it. That’s great. (I know) I’ve grown quite fond of it now. That’s great. I didn’t like my voice either. I still don’t like it that much. I guess the more something means to you, the harder it is to like it. If it didn’t matter, you wouldn’t care. But because it does, you become oversensitive and find it hard to like it. That’s true. People often think the grass is greener on the other side. Whether it’s your height or something else. The things that others envy about you aren’t always what you see as positives. That can lead to misunderstandings, which in turn can create feelings of loneliness or alienation. It makes you think, “If only I weren’t like this.” I know. You tend to think about those things, especially when you’re a kid, and even as you grow older. Some things never change, and you just have to accept that. That’s just life. My son was running around in the studio earlier while we were shooting. When he was listening to the song playing from the speakers, I noticed he was unbashedly telling you how beautiful your voice is. He told me the same thing as well, about you having “a wonderful voice.” I’m flattered. He was also impressed by how much your voice changes when you’re singing compared to when you’re talking. I know. I guess he noticed the versatility you have. Caption:“The Band” and My Own Voice I used to really love rock music. Really? Yes. I used to be in a band when I was younger. Were you the singer? I did the vocals and guitar. But when you’re in high school, you don’t think about ensemble balance. So, the guitar would sound really loud, and the bass would be loud too. Naturally, my voice gets buried in the noise. Oh, I see. So you go for the high-pitched tone. Something more piercing. It kind of felt like I was constantly being pushed to go higher. Wow. That must be tough. I don’t think I can do it either. All along, I wasn’t sure what I was singing. So, when did you realize you could do all the arrangements and stuff on your own? Or when did you start thinking you’d rather do it on your own? Well, I’ve always wanted to write my own songs. When we formed the band, I started bringing my songs to practice. The thing is, I’ve never been good at getting along with others. So when I asked them to do something and it didn’t turn out the way I wanted, I’d be like, “Fine. I’ll do it myself.” I got a multi-track recorder at the time and started doing simple programming and layering guitars. And that felt way more exciting to me. At the same time, I thought being in a band was the coolest thing ever. But I kept writing songs, and eventually doing that by programming just kept growing bigger and bigger. How old were you then? I was about 18. Are you familiar with VOCALOID? Of course. With the VOCALOID, (Uh-huh) Caption:My Encounter with Vocaloid You can write songs using synthetic female vocals. Like Hatsune Miku. That’s right. I was doing that in the beginning. Wow. I heard about this new thing and found it interesting. So I bought it, got the vocals, and started programming. I began sharing my music and was amazed at how many people were listening. It kind of took off from there, and before I knew it, here I am. So, do you see your voice as another instrument? I guess so. The feelings I had at the time still plays a big part in me. I mean, VOCALOID is… I feel bad I’m the only one talking. No, No, No. I’m all ears. VOCALOID is a bit different now compared to back then. It has progressed quite a bit over the last twenty years or so, but back in the day, it felt like a song of a voice from another dimension. I figured that was part of the whole thing. I think the people who like that also appreciate that kind of feeling and the nuances too. That even makes it sound kind of cute. It was those people who played a key role in driving the evolution. When you make music like that, you become very conscious of the vowels and consonants of the Japanese language. So that, I needed to separate the vowels and consonants and program them separately. For example, I will just type K, and then A to make the KA sound. (Wow) I realized that with the Japanese language… there isn’t much nuance in a single sound. When you say ‘sound’, do you mean one syllable or one character? One character. Ok. There aren’t many nuances in a single character. KA, KI, KU, KE, KO. Each character is quite brief. And so, when I try to do the same thing with VOCALOIDS, it turns out like・・・ Pa Pa Pi Ka Poo. Yes. Pe Po Pa— I used to think a lot about how to get around it. I feel like that’s had some kind of influence on the music I make today. But if you sing it yourself, you can add the nuances as you like. Even with the same “gah” sound, you can make it sound like “gah ↑” or “gah!” Was there an eye-opening moment when you discovered that freedom? Back then, because I’d been listening to it for so long, I believed that was the only way a song should sound. Oh. You were influenced by the straightforward delivery. Yes, I believed that was the most comfortable and right feeling. That’s really interesting. Caption:“JANE DOE” The Difference Between the Two I was given the demo, and when I tried singing it, I realized I actually sing in almost the opposite way. I’d never really thought much about how I sing, especially in comparison to others. I’ve rarely sung on someone else’s song. Plus, it was a work-in-progress demo with your guide vocals singing my part. So I asked myself, ‘How should I sing this in a way that feels like me?’, that’s when I realized the difference. I hadn’t really thought about it much until now, but for a vocalist, interpretation is already part of what they do. However, when it’s the songwriter themselves singing, there’s no interpretation in between—it’s unfiltered. It’s like something that’s been refined, yet still in its raw, original form. So for me, stepping in as the first person to interpret that, that’s what the experience of being a singer is. And since I wasn’t the one who wrote it, that was something I hadn’t really experienced before. It’s hard to tell whether that difference came from being a songwriter or from being a singer—it felt like a mixture of both. If I tried to sing it exactly as you did, it would just be copying. There were parts where I felt, as a songwriter, I had to honor your original intention. But as a singer, there were also moments where I thought, ‘I would never sing it this way.’ Just imitating didn’t feel meaningful—I had to find where to bring in my own voice and personality. Figuring out that balance—between the process of creating and the process of interpreting—was really fascinating. It taught me a lot about myself, too. I actually felt the same way. I sent you the demo and told you to do whatever you wanted with it. And when I listened to your version, you had turned it into something completely different. I know. I wrote the song imagining your voice, but what came back from you was way beyond my expectations. but at the same time, there was something more—something that went beyond what I could have imagined. From the very first note, it was exactly what I had imagined — the song that Utada-san would sing — I thought, “Wow!” and was even a little confused. I needed some time just to listen. You even sent me a few different versions, too. There were things I wasn’t sure either. I listened to the different versions. There was the version of the song I had envisioned, and there was Utada-san’s version, which in a way felt more unconventional to me. So I let the two version pull at each other inside of me, and in the end, concluded that without a doubt, Utada-san’s version was stronger. The biggest difference I noticed was that you keep everything aligned and tight, more on the grid with the musical rhythm. I do almost the opposite — I tend to shift things around, break them apart, move them off-grid. In a way, by avoiding the axis, I make it more noticeable. That’s why I thought, ‘We’re completely opposite!’ and I thought that was really amazing. Being total opposites and still being able to do a duet — I felt like that’s pretty rare. That’s true. We’re like total opposites, and we’re both songwriters, too. This was such a rare and wonderful opportunity. I have a swinging style of singing, so when I listened to the full song, and the part you come in, it just sounded really cool. It’s like two opposite styles colliding. When I write songs and think about the overall structure and flow, I’m subconsciously thinking about blending both the expected and the unexpected. That “curveball” moment is like introducing a different character or a scene change. I hope even longtime fans of your music, feel something surprising and discover something new. That’s how I felt while working on this song. Now that you put it like that, it probably has quite a unique balance. Caption:Physical aspect and Imagination I wanted to ask you. What’s your view on the physical aspect of music? My music comes from a place where there isn’t much physical component involved. I was always drawn to what I found on the Internet since I was a kid. We first had internet at home when I was in elementary school. I discovered I could communicate with people far away. I grew up in the countryside, catching grasshoppers as a boy. Then suddenly, I realized there was an entire new world out there. It gave me hope and made me dream, and from that moment, my life changed in so many ways. Did it open up your life? I’m not so sure whether my life has opened up or not.At least, it felt that way. I shared VOCALOID music online. Same with my drawings, I loved creating art on the computer. In a way, I believe my true home is in this digital world where information is kept to a minimum. Going back to your question about the physical aspect. Since you’ve always been attracted to or open to things that aren’t tangible are you asking what I think about the physical things? That’s right. I’ve often used the expression “lack of physical component”, so I was interested in your thought on the physical aspect of creativity. I don’t see those things as lacking physical components. If you’re talking about more philosophical concept of ‘physicality’, I can’t speak to that. But if it’s about something tangible, something you can hold in your hands, I think it’s no different from an illusion—whether it’s the interface or the computer. For example, if you’re sending an email on a screen, even though you hear a swish sound, it’s not like something is actually flying somewhere. it’s not like something is actually flying somewhere. In reality, whatever the signal is doing or what’s happening on the screen— like using the scissors for cutting in LOGIC interface—that’s just a symbol. So, I’m not sure what you’d call tangible. It’s just your brain processing it that way.
Maybe things like tables and chairs are tangible… Listening to you now, I thought maybe you’re more attracted to things that feed your imagination— something that makes you feel something inside—rather than actual physical objects. I see. Even when it comes to connecting with people, instead of focusing on those right in front of you, perhaps by internalizing and imagining them in your mind. you might feel a stronger bond with people who are not physically present but are on the other side of the screen, perhaps by internalizing and imagining them in your mind. I get the impression that you must have been a sensitive kid who was more interested in what existed internally than externally. Wow. That’s really interesting. When it comes to the imaginary world, it reminds me of my childhood. I used to immerse myself in books and art, believing that they were somehow better than reality. I could relate to them more easily. There’s a freedom in connecting with someone from a different time period, or even with an artist who has passed away. I felt more connected to the book or the painter of a piece than to someone sitting right next to me. That’s the power of imagination. It gives you a stronger ability to envision things. The same applies to music. When you create something from scratch, you are bringing to life something you’ve envisioned in your mind. It might not be a physical object, or it might exist only on a screen, or just as data. But you’ve still created something that exists in this world. ‘How does everyone do it?’ that’s the kind of question I believe creators ask all the time. Caption:Childhood Dreams Were imaginings a big part of your childhood? Yes. That was everything. I was always reading or drawing. I would draw the same drawing every day. I was more interested in what was happening inside me. I heard that you aspired to become a manga artist. Yes. Really. Becoming a manga artist was my dream. いくつ頃っていうか　子供の頃ですか？ When I was in elementary school. I was still writing manga in junior high, but I gradually got into music. And you formed a band. After that, I stopped drawing so much. I still get this feeling like something’s caught inside me, wondering what would have happened if I had become a manga artist. Do you sometime feel the urge to draw? I do. I wanted to be a manga artist too when I was in elementary Really? I was obsessed with a lot of manga back then. I was really into Momoko Sakura and Ami Okada around fourth grade. So I decided I was going to become a manga artist and sent my own manga to RIBBON magazine. It was a comedy manga. A comedy manga! ギャグ漫画で！ I was inspired by Momoko Sakura and Ami Okada’s surreal humor. It was called “Let’s go Mumu.” I remember it was pretty surreal. Do you still remember the plot? The story centered around this wimpy superhero who’s not strong at all and keeps messing up. And nobody gets saved in the end. What was great about the RIBBON magazine competition was that they don’t reject any applicants. They evaluated all of them. And I made it in the lowest tier, class C. They had my name printed too. So that was exciting. I had all the tools. Screen tones, a G Nib pen, a Round Nib pen, and the proper paper. You went all in. My parents were very supportive when it came to creativity. When I said I wanted to pursue it, they took me to the store and bought all the necessary tools. So, when I saw in your bio that you also wanted to be a manga artist, I was excited to find we had something The screen tones are hard to pull off, aren’t they. I was drawing surreal humor manga. What kind of manga artist did you aspire to become? Like everyone, I was super into Shounen manga, especially the ones with battle plots. Right. I guess I was writing about fighting with superpowers. I would think about it a lot and then draw. I think I drew an entire notebook. Now that I think about it, I should have sent it to one of the magazines like RIBBON. But I didn’t. It’s never too late. Same goes for you. Do you like reading manga too? I don’t read as much now. The year before last, I went through all the stuff from the house I lived in as a kid in New York and cleared it out. I had all the manga I owned back then—the ones that had been there since my childhood—sent over to my house in London, and now they’re all lined up on my bookshelf—those manga I used to read during this 3-year span from first through fourth grade. It was pretty nostalgic. I wanted my son to read Japanese books, but with regular books, it’s hard to get him to read every day because of all the homework he has. But he’s hooked on Dragon Ball. We often read Dragon Ball together at night before bed. That’s so cool. I read all the characters except Goku. My son just reads Goku and Pu’ar. That’s a lot of work. You have to read the onomatopoeias with all your heart. Like, Bang! Whack, Smack, Booom! You’re burning a lot of calories. I know. It wakes you up. Usually, you read alone. But it’s fun. It’s very powerful. Caption:Science and Hope I asked you during the shoot, but you went to CERN. Yes, I did. Wow. I’ve always wanted to go. When we did our last European tour, we were talking about where we wanted to go next. I knew I was supposed to name a country, but I said I wanted to go to CERN. (Really) Then, about 3 days later, I read the news that you went to CERN. I’m sorry I got there before you. You went there. It was incredible. Really? It was a place I’d long wanted to visit as well. Then, one day, my staff told me that WIRED magazine wanted to do a feature on CERN with me, but because it would involve a lot of traveling and time, they asked if we should decline the offer. And I was like, “No, please wait! I’ll do it! I’ll do it!” Of course. Are you into quantum physics and chemistry? I’m just scratching the surface, but in quantum physics you get these enormous units like ten to the thousands or hundreds squared that keep coming up. They’re really exciting, and I get this feeling that they’re quite effective against nihilism. (Yeah) It feels incredibly vast—Earth was formed about 13 billion years ago. And from now on, the universe will keep expanding, possibly becoming an incredibly lonely void far into the future. Every time I hear that, it feels like an endless story. And precisely because it’s endless, there’s a certain kind of hope. It actually feels trustworthy, in a way. Yes. It feels incredibly good. Thinking about an unimaginably distant future, or an unimaginably distant past— being in a situation where probably not a single soul knows anything about me— my sense of emptiness fades. That sensation is so strong within me. Things we take for granted now and what is considered common sense may not apply at all in the world of subatomic particles. And we don’t even know if the subatomic particle is the smallest unit. That kind of realization, put so directly, just feels amazing. There are so many things we don’t understand. fundamental questions like “what are we made of?”. Maybe the fact that we don’t even understand such basic things is what feels good. True. It’s exciting. We don’t really know anything after all. There are sayings like “Man is the crown of all creation,” but it doesn’t even feel that poetic. It goes back to the question of physical elements. In fact, all matter is just a mass of energy. That’s right. It doesn’t have to be something solid. It transcends the realm tricked by our senses. But then, you need your physical body to think about it too, using your brain. That contradiction is almost bittersweet, which I find fascinating. I think we’re touching on similar territory. Caption:Scientists and Artists 科学者の人たちと一日中お話してもらえて
やっぱりと思ったのが which reminded me that scientists and artists, whether in music or visual art, are very similar. Although I’m not a scientist, I feel a strong connection to them. I mean, you’re trying to prove something you’re not sure you can pull off, and no one believes in you yet. But you have a hunch or a feeling that maybe it could work. With curiosity and dedication, you chase what you believe in and pour all your energy into discovering the truth.
Your truth. Everyone’s eyes were bright, and I really enjoyed listening to their stories. Wow I was lucky enough to be allowed to see the Large Hadron Collider, their largest experimental device. I went down as far as 100 meters below ground. Did you? I had to wear a helmet. The reason I was allowed in there was that, apparently, they turn off the facility during winter to save electricity and use that time for maintenance because of the high utility costs. Under normal circumstances, the radiation and magnetism would make it impossible to let people in. But because I went in winter, around February, I was able to get access. Wow CERN is also putting a lot of effort into collaborations with art—something like ‘Arts for CERN’ There’s also an Instagram account. Really I’ll show it to you later. I would really love to do something with other artists who are interested in science. That sounds amazing. You can count me in. Great. Caption:After the MV shoot/interview What did you think? I had a great time. I had a great time too. It felt like I was in a dream during the shoot. It was so surreal, but that was part of the fun as well. Well, it sure doesn’t feel real when you’re spinning around surrounded by green screens. How many times did we rotate today? I wonder how many. We did a lot. That was really fun. But what we talked about, like the physical element stuff. What you said really made sense to me. Oh, great. It feels like I was given words of wisdom from a seeker. What? Yeah, it definitely felt like that. I really want to watch the whole thing on video. I just want to thank you for such a wonderful opportunity and for letting me be a part of such an amazing song. We just shot the video, so I can only imagine how it’s going to turn out. My mind is already racing with ideas. I can’t wait to see the final version. Especially the scene where we had our backs to each other—since I couldn’t see some of the performances, I’m really looking forward to seeing how everything comes together. Also, I’m curious to see how people will react when we announce this. For sure. I’m excited. Can’t wait to see everyone’s reaction. Thank you for the hard work today, from morning to late at night. Same to you. I really had fun. Thank you so much. Me too. Thank you.
