BC: Thank you very much, thank you. I am D'arcy, it's very good to be here, thank you. Uhhh....
Daphne Descends
(BC as Aronoff counts in to the song: Daphne Descends.)
Thru the Eyes of Ruby
BC: Domo arigato [unintelligible]. That’s all I really know how to say: domo, sayonara, [Japanese word sounding like “seemosain”] and uh...ohayo gozaimas. Heh heh heh heh. Hello to everybody upstairs there, heh. We send our kisses to you, (blows two kisses). (blows two more kisses) James is sick though, he cannot kiss you, he is sick. He has uh, some sort of virus, he can’t kiss you but he sends you his love.
Perfect (acoustic)
BC: By the way uh, sorry about your World Cup soccer team. They tried...but uh, hey, the U.S., (makes clicking noise), no good either. Heh heh heh heh. Maybe...the Smashing Pumpkins will play the Japanese soccer team for the World Cup. James is better than Ronaldo. That's it, that's the end of the concert, thank you. Sayonara, sayonara. Heh. Anyway, uh, we would like to dedicate this next song to all of you for coming to our concert tonight. We are forever in your...we are forever in your debt.

[encore break]

Iha: Arigato. Kin ki. Kin ki? Kin ki zaimas?
D’arcy: You know, this is a very special, special show for us because this, this venue and Japan together is legendary to us in the United States because it’s here and we've always wanted to play here and so now this is a special song for you.
BC: I want you to want me!
