Corgan: Thank you! How is everybody? How's everybody up there? The Backstreet Boys will be on soon, please wait. And Britney Spears and um, any Japanese pop bands.
Iha: I must apologize, my guitar rig is exploding as we speak, so I apologize for my guitar blowing up.
Corgan: James this morning admitted that he doesn't wanna play the concert, it has nothing to do with his guitar.
Iha: This is this cheap American beer we're using, just [unintelligible] blowing up.
Corgan: Are you sure this time? Now I don't wanna extend your awkwardness. Anyway, besides our dumb American jokes, um, [cheers] yes, thank you! We're glad that someone appreciates our dumb American jokes. Thank you! This is our seventh show on our last Japanese tour and um, yes, and we play two nights, for our last show, promotion to shows that have been done so far in Japan, we play a litte shoulder to shoulder we aren't playing in America, because in America the dumb American jokes are funny, so then the show goes better, but in Japan the dumb American jokes aren't so funny, so then the show doesn't go as well, so we play less songs. Thank you! So tonight, as special Budokan treat, we're going to play a longer show for you tonight.
Iha: ...beer... explode [unintelligible]
Corgan: I believe the entire total of the show is about eight or nine hours, so if you have to go home and go to bed to go to work tomorrow, we understand. So we'd like to play another song from our hit Japanese album Machina, this is called I of the Mourning.

I of the Mourning
To Sheila
Corgan: Thank you so very much, thank you.
This Time
Corgan: I'd like to introduce the band... on the bass guitar, Melissa Auf der Maur! On the drums, Hideo Nomo! Jimmy Chamberlin. And on the lead guitar, Dickey Betts.
Iha: On lead vocals and guitar, mister Elvin Jones.

Corgan: A couple of things before we play our last song. I know we have one more show, but I know many of you won't get a chance to see the next show, so to all of you who supported us through the years, the Smashing Pumpkins, since our early shows, a special thank you to all of you for being so wonderful to us, always. Also I'd like to say that coming to Japan to play is always a great honor and a pleasure, and the fans that we meet here are always so wonderful, as is the [?], we get good sleep, it's the best, anywhere we go in the world we're always treated the best in Japan, so we thank you for that. Another small thing, our website Smashing Pumpkins dot com is now in Japanese, so you can read funny American jokes. So I wanna film a little bit of you for our website, so if you wanna say hello to everybody around the world...
Iha: Hello. Everybody. So I had some nice ramen today....I really enjoyed it, as much as I do playing guitar. [Iha goes on about what dishes he ate]
Corgan: So, before we play this last song, thank you again, and please feel free to sing along.
