[THE 8's work diary - studio -]
[Finishing up / THE 8 has come to the studio to finish the perfect song]
Okay.
[Making sure the mood of the song is there is the key]
THE 8 : For this song, everything from the music to the performance
THE 8 : I worked on together with the staff.
[Time to listen]
THE 8 : I've made this song with the thought
THE 8 : that I don't want to lose past memories, remembering how things were in the beginning so to speak
THE 8 : I really wanted to make this 'my' song
THE 8 : So I looked into everything
THE 8 : and talked and shared ideas as I worked on it
- Oh it's so nice! - That part is so cool!
[Everyone is very satisfied] This part is so amazing!
I think it turned out well.
It's so good. That feels good.
[This song is more important because we did every part of it together] - I participated from the very beginning to the end - Yeah.
[The recording session ends with everyone's satisfaction]
- It's really good. - It's my song, my song
[THE 8's work diary - Staff meeting and practice -]
[Time to meticulously check progress regarding the studio, costume, and even the makeup] Yes, I think I'll be able to finish the whole thing later with him.
THE 8 : The lighting and camera directors need to come to meet with us, right?
THE 8 : If they have ideas they can share
THE 8 : In any case, the meaning of this project
THE 8 : is that I'm really doing this one properly.
THE 8 : Because I'm thinking that the music itself has a different mood than before.
Good.
I think all that's left is for me to do my part well.
[Now all there's left is to work out the final choreography] If we just do well on the choreography, there's no other issue.
Thank you for coming like this on Sunday..
[Coming to a meeting with me even on the weekend...] Thanks for coming out here.. like this..
Okay, I'll work hard.
Let's do well together!
[Cannot reach]
- Should I stand here? - I first sorted things out
With the teacher
I get up and go down like this
And then come back up
Then go back down
[Shaky]
Oh because I keep doing it alone..
- Okay. - You can go with that flow more, you had a good vibe there at first.
Oh that's nice
- And - Clonk!
Can I see how you do it once?
How you do it.
[Clonk]
[Learned it right away haha]
Okay okay!
[Checking meticulously (for precise expression)]
[The bent wrists are important] My hands are somewhat..
[Adding a unique spoon move] - This sort of unique.. - Ah good good! Okay!
- If I just do a little something more.. - Use more, go ahead and do more.
How does it look?
- THE 8 : Everyone's takeaway about this is a little different - It's different! Different for each person
THE 8 : There are people who feel really sad, and people who are reminded of their own difficulties
There are people who find this funny as well
The way I actually feel is
Rather than failing to recognize and understand this song
[Enjoying is left to the audience / Wants to move their hearts, even if it's only a little bit] If they are touched even a little bit by this and are led to think of something, I'd call that a success.
Regarding this. Really.
One hundred percent.
[So moved by THE 8's talk] Good, that's really good.
I think I was also born with a talent for the emotional aspect
I need to work harder.
[Back to being a practice bot] So shall we go right away?
Yes.
Hey you're almost dripping right now..
It's raining right now...
[Monitoring the final version of the choreography]
[Took off the shirt to check the moves]
Oh there was a mistake there!
- Oh this is driving me nuts! - It's alright.
- We can do this tomorrow. - Sorry, sorry!
[Does not know when to stop practicing] We can practice.
THE 8 : Today was the first time we completely finished the choreography.
THE 8 : Now I'll be starting to practice in earnest
THE 8 : and putting more emotions into it
THE 8 : and practicing so people can really feel it.
[THE 8's work diary - Final practice -]
[Talking about details regarding the stage]
Because there's choreography... and the expression of emotions through that
I feel that if there is too much editing, it might negatively affect how the emotions are felt by the audience.
[A stage aiming for a new style, created through many practices and meetings]
[The final practice session for 'Falling down' is complete]
[THE 8's work diary D-DAY]
I'm in good condition today.
THE 8 : I got some exercise and food in the morning
THE 8 : Then I got ready and came here.
So I woke up at about 10:30 so I'm in a very good condition right now.
[Runs] - Oh that's it! - Then you come out.
Okay! That's good right now.
[THE 8 likes the fog, and starts running] Okay.
THE 8 : So this is my first solo song in a year.
THE 8 : This song is really a song for myself
THE 8 : so I'm so satisfied and happy that I can do this.
THE 8 : I want people to be able to feel moved through the emotions in this song.
THE 8 : If they see it and feel something of their own
THE 8 : I'd call that a success.
THE 8 : So I'd like those who are viewing it to just view it however they want.
[Everyone is working together for good results]
Oh that was nice.
We should film that part again.
Oh it's nice
This part as well, this angle.
Here.
Wow it's barely visible.
I saw it.
[Pretty sharp] You saw it?
THE 8 the perfectionist.
[Being more and more energetic as time goes by] - You alright? - Yeah.
You alright?
If it's for THE 8
THE 8 being happy is enough.
[Everyone wants THE 8's happiness]
[In a really happy state]
I'm very good at rejoinders like that.
That was so bam!
That's right.
You go bam! And I go bam!
Okay.
Done, done!
Right right.
Good!
THE 8 : It's something I and a lot of people worked on passionately
THE 8 : so I'll keep up the effort in future as well
To bring more work that is done in my style, that's more expressive and touching.
I'd appreciate if you'd give me a lot of love.
Please look forward to it a lot!
Thank you~
['Falling down', full of expressiveness that's THE 8's alone. Hoping that it will move everyone's hearts]
