Corgan: Hi, good evening. I'd like to say thanks to our opening band, they were very good. I think they have a future! 'Cause rock music is dead, and that acoustic thing, there's the future. How's everybody? Is the concert too long? Yes? No one is sleepy? Ok we'd like to play you another song from our Machina album, this is called Sunshowers and Raindrops.

So before we play our last song, thank you very much, we love you very much, and appreciate everything that the fans in Japan have given us since...1992? I think was the first time we came. So god bless you, thank you.
