MEGADETH の
Dave Mustaineは来日以来初めて日本に関するメッセージをポストした。
「Droogies and She-Wolves!」
「この日本ツアーはこれまでに俺が来日した中でもベストじゃないかと思うよ。特に旧友に会うことに関してね。ノリとカオリに福岡で会ったんだ。その後、俺はこれまでに食べた中でも最高の寿司と屋台に行ったよ。また次の夜も寿司を食べたんだ。俺は冬のツアーのジャケットを脱いで彼との友好の証として彼にあげた。」
「カオリはエレガントで品のある日本の女性の一人だ。俺は彼女が俺と俺らのファミリーのアシスタントになるためにアメリカに移住してくれたらと思ってる。きっと彼女なら俺の人生とビジネスをもっと良いものにしてくれるだろうと思うんだ。だけど、彼女はここに家族がいるし、俺は彼女との友情を大事にしたいからなぁ。」
「俺はYukiにも会った。外見も中身も素晴らしく美しい女性だ。他にも俺の古くからの喫煙仲間のMihoや、ChinatsuやMikiにも会えたよ。」
「俺は日本でもっとチケットとレコードが売れたら、と願ってる。なぜなら前回来日した時は、俺たちはショウやファンを今ほど大事にしていなかったかもしれないから。でも、今は大事に思ってる。その時の償いをしてるような気がする。彼らは寛大だけれど、中には、前と同じ
MEGADETHだろうと思っている人がいるのもわかってるんだよ。」
「俺は
Martyには会ってない。たぶん会わなくて良かったんだと思う。でももし会っていたら、それはそれで素晴らしいことだと思う。」
============
(I haven't seen Marty, and maybe that's a good thing. but I would have been respectful if I had.) 俺は
Martyを見なかった。たぶんそれで良かった。もし見ても俺は敬意を払うけどね。・・・とも取れるかも。
私は、どうやって家に帰ってきたかわからないほどベロベロに酔っ払っていますので、感情乱高下。和訳もいつも以上のあやしさ。誤解のないように
Mustaineの載せた原文はコレです。原文でチェックして下さい。そして
最後の公演に行く人は暴れて来て下さい!訳してない最後のほうでも愛のあること言ってるから読んでね。
「俺は世界一素晴らしいファンに恵まれている。俺が長年に渡ってないがしろにしたかもしれないっていうのに。」
Droogies and She-Wolves!
This has by far been one of the best trips to Japan that I have done ever regarding seeing old friends. Nori, and Kaori met us in Fukuoka and we went out for the best sushi I have ever had, and yatai later that night, then sushi again the next night. I am so grateful of Nori and his friendship that I took my Megadeth Winter tour jacket off of my back and gave it to him.
Kaori is one of the most elegant and classy Japanese gals I know and I wish she would move to America and be my assistant for my work and my family. I know that she would make my life and business so much better, but she has family here and I would never want to ruin our friendship.
I saw Yuki, an amazingly beautiful lady inside and out, and here friends, and also my old cigar buddies Miho, Chinatsu, and Miki.
Our visit to ESP confirmed to me that I am with the greatest guitar companyin the world and I will be forever grateful to Matt Masciandaro for taking me on board and to Marsh Gooch (formerly with ESP, and now with Tascam) for presenting me to the company.
I only wish that the record and ticket sales were better here, and I feel that is because the last time we were here we did not treat the shows or the fans like we should have, and now we are paying for it. They are very forgiving, but I know some fans may think they are going to see the same Megadeth that was just going through the motions when we were here last.
I haven't seen Marty, and maybe that's a good thing. but I would have been respectful if I had.
Lastly, I am stoked to be in the final countdown to go to Australia. I have found this country to be a version of what one would get if you crossed England with a beach city and everyone was happy and tan and good looking.
I noticed that our fan of the week is a young Aussie gal and I enjoyed reading her info. As with almost all of the Megadeth fans, the stories are so engrossing for me.
I believe I have the best fans in the world, and even though I have pissed some of you off over the years, as I return to my true form and true self, I am seeing many of you return. Thank you for being a part of my life again, and I hope to see you on the Killing Road this summer in Europe or North America, or the end of this year if and when we decide to do anymore shows after South America. I am not going to ever consider stopping this tour until we play Buenos Aires.
I love you all and please get your tickets early for Gigantour. We will post all kinds of info about the tour and the set-lists and times at the official Gigantour website.
