Ayumi Hamasaki Sekai - DOME TOUR 2001 speech translation

Dome tour - JUST BEFORE THE ENCORE:

Today is the last day of the tour. I was nervous!!! When I was inside the flower, I was nervous and the hand with which I held the "pompom" was trembling when I went out with out!!! ^^
Today I am going to present you the dancers of "asayan". ¡ACTION!
(now she tells the names of the boss-dancers of each group in each city of the tour.)

1º: (she doesn’t says the name)
2º: Nao, the leader of Tokio
3º: Fukoka
4º: Yoshi Nagoya : Today he’s well ;) Good dance!
5º: Osaka. Come here!

They six (she says they are six but she only presents us five) are like a family. It’s very easy to ... also with Ayu.
They have helped to my staff a lot, there’s good relationship between them.
I don’t know why, but I felt a little nervous when I presented the leaders to you, because I have been the one (well, let’s remember she uses third person to refer to herself, so she says Ayu) who has chosen them. I chose them because I thought they would be very good as leaders, and now I fell safe with them (I have trust in them). Sometimes I have told them some hard things because they were not doing things well.

It’s the first time I’m in a place so big like this, but for the six leaders is even worse because they are not professionals, so this is too hard for them. But I wanted to make better concerts with them, so I get angry sometimes, but I got so much satisfaction when they did things properly. It’s like being a mother. Although I can be doing anything else, I take a lot at them from the distance (when they are practicing, just looking at). I also notice each of them.

(The fans say: Don’t cry!!!) So, at this moment, at least, they have helped me. Thank you very much!
Let’s call the habitual dancers. Now we’re gonna sing and dance!!! Are you ready?

Well, today, I’m so happy of seeing you here. You have been very nice today with me. It’s a pity but this is the last song. Please, listen to “Who...”
