A: We went out on audition with 3 of us. And･･･

A,N,K: OH! This is it! This reminds us a lot of memories!
N:ユニットオーディションをね、半期に 1 回受けて。受かったら、発表会で披露出来るんで
すけど、それでずっと受かり続けてたんよね、Perfume は。
N: So, we went out on an audition once in every half semester.
N: If we win the audition, then we could perform in a recital.
N: And in those auditions, Perfume had never failed.
A:それでしかも課題曲を、これを今回歌った方が良いって、サザンオールスターズさんの
「みんなの歌」を歌った方がいいって言われて。それでそうか、これをやった方がいいんだ、
企画として受かれるんだ、って思ってやったよね。そしたら、最終審査まではちゃんと行っ
たのに、最後落とされたんですよ。
A: And as a compulsory song, we were told to sing “Minnano-Uta(The Song of
everyone)” by Southern All-stars.
A: So, we thought “OK, we should do this”
A: “If we play this, we can win the audition” so we played that.
A: And we made it through to the final selection.
A: But we failed at the final selection!

3. K:ね～！
K: We did!
A:で、え？みたいな。何で落ちたん？みたいな感じになって。で回りもなんか「え？Perfume
落ちたけど･･･」それでもうベンベン泣きよって。
A: And then, we were like “WHAT!? Why did we fail!?”
A: And everyone around as was like “Oh, Perfume failed･･･What’s going on?”
A: With a that result, we cried like hell
K:ベンベン泣きました！
K: Yeah, we did cried like hell.
N:そう、パイプ椅子の間でベンベン泣いてた。
N: Yes, we cried between pipe chairs.
A:それで何かようワカランけどカメラ回っとるし。ベンベン泣きながら。そしたら Amuse
の人達が、新人開発の人達が、
「これは何故かって言うとね、これは君たちに今回デビュー曲
を持ってきたんだよ」
「この歌はね、パッパラー河合さんといって有名な人が、曲を書いてく
れて」って言われて、え？っていって聞いて。であの曲の最初の印象は忘れないんですけど。
あ、ミニモニみたい！って思って。
A: We didn’t know why, but they were shooting us crying like hell.
A: And then, people of the talent scout department of Amuse came and said
A: “All right, we’ll tell you why we are here. Today, we bring you your debut song”
A: “This song was written by Mr. Pappara-Kawai, a famous musician”
A: We were like “What?” when we heard that. And we listened that song.
A: The first impression of the song was unforgettable.
A: I thought “Oh! It sounds like Minimoni!”
N,K:あ～。
N,K: Oh, that’s right!
A:丁度じゃんけんぴょんとかやってる時で、凄いミニモニみたい！って思って。凄く嬉しか
った。
A: At that time, Minimoni was popular playing songs like “Janken Pyon!”
A: I was so happy about that.
N:うんうん。
N: Yeah.
A:覚えてますね。
A: I really remember this well.
N:もうさ、朦朧としてたよね。泣いてたし、嬉しかったし、回り大人とかアクターズの生徒と
か一杯いるし。そんな中で自分たちのデビュー曲を聴くっていう。
N: Our minds were kind of dim at that time, weren’t they?

4. N: We were crying, but we were glad at the same time
N: and we were surrounded by a lot of adults and students.
N: It’s quite a rare opportunity to listen to our debut song in such a situation.
A:そう、でみんなも悔しそうに聞いとんよね。 みんなもホントはそういうの悔しいから、
で、
絶対態度に表さんのよ、嬉しいとか悲しいとかもね。だけどそこで初めて、誇らしくデビュ
ーです、みたいな。
A: Yeah, and other students were listening that song with chagrined faces.
A: Usually they never showed their chagrins in attitudes.
A: They always tried not to show their joy or sadness.
A: But in that case, they saw us making a debut proudly in front of their eyes, so ･･･
K:アクターズスクールで初めてのデビューだったからね。
K: We were the first ones who made a debut from the Actor’s School Hiroshima.
A:いやぁ、嬉しかったですね。ほいで、 をリリースして、

N: Yeah, that’s true.
A:3 歳とか、そんな感じだったのにね。
A: He was like 3 years old at that time.
K:私たちも大きくなったんですね。振り返るくらいに。

A:そう言うことですね。
A: That’s right.
A:あ、このころ地元でどんなプロモーションをしていましたか？だって。
A: Oh, people are asking “What kind of promotion did you do in Hiroshima at that
time?”

K: Well, what I remember is when we made PV of “Kareshi-Boshu-chu”
K: We went to a tree-lined street near the “Hon-dori(Main-avenue)”, the only urban
area in Hiroshima.
K: Then our staff carried a boom box playing that song, and we walked around singing
along.
A: Yeah, we did that.
K: I think they were shooting us singing by a small camecorder.
