00:00The 8th jam of the night is...
00:17The 25th anniversary of their debut this year, A.I. special.
00:21Speaking of A.I.
00:24They have collaborated with many big artists in Japan and abroad.
00:33They are not only listeners, but also respected by many professionals.
00:43So, what is so great about A.I.'s songs?
00:48So...
00:51This time...
00:55Exile Atsushi explains the charm of A.I.
01:00What is so great about Atsushi that it feels like he is watching Ohtani Shouhei?
01:08I don't want you to say things like this.
01:11That's too much.
01:15Furthermore...
01:18Hello.
01:20He has known A.I. since his debut.
01:22He is a hip-hop rapper.
01:25His name is Dabo.
01:28And this gorgeous member will talk about the charm of A.I.
01:34I'm looking forward to it.
01:36A song that shows the greatness of A.I. chosen by professionals.
01:40First...
01:42Exile Atsushi.
01:44The charm of A.I. exploded with this song.
01:47This is the representative song of A.I. released in 2005.
02:01I thought this person was out of the ordinary.
02:05When A.I. sang a little J-pop-like story, it exploded.
02:14This song touched many people.
02:17I thought that her true nature exploded.
02:24You're welcome.
02:35I want to see your smiling face.
02:42Time goes by.
02:46It flows with pain.
02:51From your light,
02:54I will gently shine on you.
03:13Good evening.
03:15Today's guests.
03:18First of all, A.I. san.
03:22Exile Atsushi and Dabo.
03:28A.I. san, please accept all the gifts.
03:32No, no, no.
03:33This is too much.
03:35Today is your 25th anniversary.
03:38Congratulations on your 25th anniversary.
03:43Today, the bodyguards on both sides will teach you a deep lesson.
03:48Congratulations.
03:50Megan Black will teach you.
03:52I will be targeted.
03:56Atsushi san.
03:58At the beginning of the program, you said this song was wonderful.
04:02I'm 24 years old.
04:04I'm a year younger than you.
04:06There are about 250 songs.
04:10Of course, the message of the song is important.
04:15I think it's very realistic to sing from the stage.
04:19It's hard to meet such a song.
04:23It's a fate.
04:25I think this song and A.I. san's encounter was great.
04:29I think this song and A.I. san's encounter was great.
04:31I think this song and A.I. san's encounter was great.
04:34We used to sing together.
04:38He was a million times better than me.
04:43Now, we often collaborate and sing together.
04:49At that time, I felt like I heard people singing for the first time.
04:54At that time, I felt like I heard people singing for the first time.
04:57It was the best.
05:01When Atsushi san sings a different song, it feels like this.
05:09He is very good at singing.
05:12Everyone knows he is good at singing.
05:17How was the story of A.I.'s representative song born?
05:24I was not in a good mood at that time.
05:31I was very depressed.
05:33Sometimes I feel like I can't get up.
05:37At that time, my manager and my younger sister came to me.
05:47At that time, I felt like I could give back to them.
05:53I think I have that feeling.
05:55You put it in the lyrics.
05:58I think I can convey the lyrics and the feeling I have.
06:07It's a strange feeling.
06:09I still think so.
06:11It's the same as 2005.
06:14I think it's the same.
06:18After this, A.I.'s famous song Goka collaboration continues.
06:26I want everyone in the company to see this and thank me.
06:31And a message from a voice actor who has been with A.I.
06:35I want him to be very happy.
06:39Next, Yuta, who has been involved in composing and arranging songs with A.I. since 2008.
06:51What did he give to A.I.?
06:55The only multi-instrumental song that the brother and the younger sister coexist.
07:09I feel that this combination is a habit.
07:28What is the strange feeling that Yuta says?
07:34Yuta, who produced this song, explains the points.
07:40First of all, the beginning of the A melody.
07:42At that timing, it's like, hey, shall we start?
07:53And the rhythm of the A melody that follows is unpredictable, so it's quite difficult.
08:01How to enter gently and how to write the rhythm.
08:07The B melody is made up of melodies that are often used in reggae.
08:15There's a big gap between the development of this track and the development of this melody.
08:22I don't think there's a lot of J-pop that listens to the raid back, not just the bad news.
08:32The chorus also starts with a familiar 16-part rhythm.
08:36Immediately after that, there's a triplet of happiness.
08:40It's a big point that it doesn't get boring.
08:46It's an analysis.
08:48Let's pay attention to the strange feeling again.
09:15There are people who are overflowing.
09:19If you look around, there's a lot of drama.
09:24But it's not just bad news.
09:29It's really overflowing.
09:32A lot of smiles are looking this way.
09:39In this world where you laughed
09:44More and more happiness spreads
09:49Everything you laughed at gets better
09:54Because it's connected by this hand and that hand
10:00It wasn't as good as you said.
10:03It's as good as you say.
10:05It's difficult.
10:07I'm doing it, so I can't hear it.
10:09If you do it, it's dangerous.
10:11A song that shows the greatness of love
10:13The next song that the pros will release is a song from the beginning of their debut.
10:21In the first place, love is 2000 years from now, 25 years ago.
10:25Debut with Cry Just Cry
10:29And the turning point was the record company ruins about two years after their debut.
10:38Debut with Cry Just Cry
10:54The final song from the Def Jam Japan label.
10:58Def Jam Japan
11:00It's crazy from the beginning.
11:02It's not a luxury.
11:03That's right.
11:05Def Jam Japan is a Japanese company based on hip-hop R&B.
11:12Def Jam Recordings
11:15In the United States, Beastie Boys, Randy MC, LL Cool J, and many other superstars.
11:24In Japan, Labo is the first artist to sign a contract.
11:30Ai is the fourth and the first female artist.
11:54It's not a debut song.
11:56It's a debut song.
11:58We became a label together at Def Jam.
12:01Before that, we knew each other at a nightclub.
12:05I was like, nice to meet you.
12:07I was drooling.
12:13I wore a weird T-shirt.
12:15I wore pants like the bottom of a judogi.
12:18Really?
12:20I was sweating like crazy.
12:23I was dancing all the time.
12:25You were dancing, so you went to dance.
12:28People who dance don't take a break.
12:31I don't take a break.
12:34Before I knew it, I met him at the label.
12:38We met occasionally.
12:41I asked him if we could record a song together.
12:46We went to record in New York.
12:49This is in New York, right?
12:51Yes, this is when we were recording.
12:53As a singer, you were able to show your ability as a rapper.
12:57That's right.
12:58I didn't think so.
13:00I thought it was okay.
13:02Absolutely.
13:04The album was already released before Def Jam.
13:08I got the CD at the time.
13:13It was like this.
13:18It was an average album.
13:21After Def Jam Japan joined us...
13:26I don't know how to say it.
13:31I think it was the second album.
13:34It was easy to understand the change.
13:37I think the song was a little different before that.
13:42It was more like pop music.
13:45How did you feel about that?
13:47At first, I was told that it was better not to be like Western music.
13:52I thought it was like Western music.
13:56But I decided to listen to what he said.
13:59At the time of his debut, there was a desire to go to a record company.
14:02That's right.
14:06I started working from school.
14:11I didn't know anything.
14:13I thought these people had been doing it for a long time.
14:16I thought they knew a lot of things.
14:18But I thought it was annoying.
14:20Of course.
14:22But when I came to Japan, I realized that Japan didn't have many genres.
14:29I learned that Japan is a country where you can convey good songs.
14:39At first, I wore sunglasses.
14:42That's not what I meant.
14:44That's not what I meant.
14:48You know what I mean, right?
14:49Yes, I know.
14:50I got carried away.
14:52When you were young?
14:53Yes, when I was young.
14:54I didn't know anyone.
14:56I didn't know anyone.
14:58I didn't know what was wrong.
15:01I didn't know why I was singing so well.
15:05I had a feeling like that.
15:08But when I saw many people, I realized that it wasn't like that.
15:13Even if I came out, no one knew.
15:15There were many people who saw this person.
15:20Japanese customers.
15:22I thought I had to introduce myself first.
15:25From the identity part rather than the song?
15:29Yes.
15:30That's why I did it little by little.
15:34At the same time, Ai, who was still a newcomer, became a hot topic.
15:44This is it.
15:46Amuro Namie and hip-hop R&B artists and producers.
15:51Special project Sweet Chic.
15:54Ai became a rapper in the second single.
16:04It's sharp.
16:18Now, the image of a singer is strong with hits such as story and happiness.
16:24When I appeared in a Japanese scene, I thought Ai was a rapper.
16:34I was already a rapper in high school.
16:37I thought I had a bad rival.
16:42I'm relieved that you chose the path of R&B, not rap.
16:48Even so, he is one of the pioneers who has expanded the possibility of women rapping.
16:57Ai's rap chosen by A.
17:04It's amazing.
17:06Is it a song?
17:33It's amazing.
17:44Even more recent songs.
17:50This song was talked about by A.
17:54Nene, Lana, Mari, Ai and Yurian Retriever.
18:04A.
18:06This song is also a masterpiece.
18:10It's a song that you can hear in the Japanese rap.
18:19It's a song that you can hear in the Japanese rap.
18:25It's a song that you can hear in the Japanese rap.
18:30Tell me, what are you? You're just an itch
18:32I'm not having fun at a fake party
18:34Who's who, who's who's world
18:36I'm done with that, don't get carried away
18:39I have my own baggage
18:41I have your baggage too
18:43People have to help each other for a long time
18:45I'm still in the game, still in the fame
18:47Pulling the pain, breaking the chain
18:49Making a change
18:50If you have a problem, try it
18:53Because I'm a piece in the world
18:55So cool
18:56Thank you
18:57Wow, that was amazing
19:00To be honest, I had a stronger image of stories and happiness
19:06I can do anything
19:10Really? You can do anything?
19:11That's amazing
19:12You said it, you're Shouhei Otani
19:14That's true
19:14Let's not talk about that
19:16Let's not talk about that
19:18You listened to Sweet C
19:21I saw that and I got to know about Ai-chan for the first time
19:24That's amazing
19:26I thought I'd like to talk to her
19:29The studio I was recording in was the same studio
19:32I heard that Ai-chan was recording
19:35I told the staff that I wanted to meet and talk to her
19:41I was like a waitress
19:43I had a VHS music video of the group I was in, Color
19:49I remember that
19:50So I gave it to her for the first time
19:53And I talked to her
19:56You remember that?
19:58Yes, I do
19:58We met in the elevator
20:00That's right
20:02I was a waitress
20:04Really?
20:05So I picked her up by chance
20:08It depends on how you look at it
20:11I thought I was lucky to meet Ai-chan
20:13You were waiting for the right timing
20:16I was waiting for the right timing
20:17You were waiting for the right timing
20:19At that time, I often took Kato Miria and Teruma-chan to my sister's house
20:24You took them to your sister's house?
20:26You were a friend of Kato Miria
20:29She mixed the songs for me
20:31We drank coffee and listened to music
20:35That's amazing
20:39About Ai's singing voice
20:41Toshinobu Kubota, who is a senior
20:44She has the best punch power in Japan, but also has the best vocal ability in Japan
21:15I think she was a host
21:17Yes, she was
21:19I think I went to see her
21:21Yes, you did
22:14Call me, call me anytime
22:21You can call me anytime
22:23Call me, just call me
22:27Call me anytime
22:29Call me, call me anytime
22:31Let me hold your hand
22:35Just call me
22:37Call me, call me anytime
22:40Furthermore, Yuta
22:42Rie Hata, who also participates in Ai's live as a dancer and choreographer, praises
23:06She's amazing
23:10She's amazing
23:16She's so cool
23:18She's so cool
23:20She's so different from us
23:22She grew up in a circle
23:24That's true
23:26In Ai's case
23:28It's like R&B manner
23:30It seeps into her body
23:32What is R&B manner?
23:34What is R&B manner?
23:36It's not a set rule
23:39It's amazing
23:41I'm sure you can see it
23:43It's a bit like rock
23:45It seeps in
23:47from a proper timing
23:49It seeps in
23:51to the front or the back
23:53R&B sounds natural
23:55R&B sounds natural
23:57to flow
23:59to flow
24:01a comfortable flow
24:03a comfortable flow
24:05to flow
24:07R&B and stuff like that
24:09There's a lot of that in him
24:11I think it's because he does gossip
24:13and stuff like that
24:15I think he has a great sense of manner
24:17How about you, Daigo-san?
24:19What do you think about that?
24:21I think it's the same with rap
24:23I understand
24:25Normally people would
24:27go like this
24:29But Black Magic people
24:31go like this
24:33to the back
24:35Do you get it?
24:37I get it!
24:39He's charming all of a sudden
24:41You didn't learn this
24:43at school, right?
24:45You don't learn this at school
24:47I think it's good
24:49I get it!
24:51You've been doing it since you were a kid
24:53I've been doing it for years
24:55and I've always liked it
24:57But when you guys dance
24:59you listen to it, right?
25:01I think it's the same
25:03Because everyone has a good sense of rhythm
25:05And if the antenna
25:07stands in the direction you like
25:09you can get a lot of information
25:11So if you listen to what you like
25:13I think you can
25:15connect to it
25:19In addition,
25:21you can't miss the collaboration
25:23when you talk about love
25:25Until now,
25:27he has collaborated with many artists
25:29outside of Japan
25:31There are so many members
25:33It's amazing
25:37Pressure
25:39It's crazy
25:41It's crazy
25:47It's amazing
26:01It's amazing
26:03It's amazing
26:29By the way,
26:31Daichi Miura
26:33and dance
26:43It's amazing to dance with Daichi
26:49It's cool
27:01It's amazing
27:07It's amazing
27:31It's amazing
27:43It's difficult
27:45It's very difficult
27:47I was surprised
27:49when I heard that song
27:51I used to love
27:53Miura-san
27:55I was very happy
27:57I thought I had to join
27:59And Exile Atsushi
28:01has released
28:033 collaborations
28:05It's nostalgic
28:29Yuta worked on the song
28:31with them
28:33Their voices
28:35resonated in the chorus
28:37It was amazing
28:59It's amazing
29:03It's a good song
29:05It's a good song
29:07You've never sung this song
29:09Never
29:11Never
29:13And the song
29:15he collaborated with
29:17Dabo in 2003
29:29Dabo

29:43collaborated with
29:45reggae singer Pusheen
29:47last year
29:59Dabo

30:15The song of love
30:19Pusheen and Dabo
30:212003
30:23I Wanna Know You
30:25JJ Remix
30:27Dabo recorded the vocals
30:31It was a project
30:33that Ai, who loved this song,
30:35offered
30:37It was a great offer
30:41It was originally
30:43Pusheen's song
30:45I Wanna Know You
30:47Pusheen asked
30:49Pusheen to rap
30:51This remix
30:53He asked Pusheen
30:55to do it
30:57It was such an important song
30:59that even if
31:01a stranger asked
31:03Pusheen to do it,
31:05Pusheen refused
31:07Pusheen asked Pusheen not to
31:11But the reason why
31:13Pusheen accepted the offer
31:15was because it was Ai

32:47When I was pregnant with my first child, I released a video of a song called Be Brave.
33:03I want you to feel that way.
33:06I want you to feel the importance of life.
33:09That's what I'm talking about.
33:11It's a touching story.
33:13It's a song that allows you to enter the world before you write it.
33:18I released a song called No More.
33:20At that time, I just had a baby.
33:24I didn't want to collaborate with anyone.
33:27I didn't want to go out.
33:29I didn't want to do anything.
33:31I just wanted to have a baby.
33:33I thought,
33:35I thought,
33:37I thought,
33:39I thought,
33:41I thought,
33:43I thought,
33:45I thought,
33:47I thought,
33:49I thought,
33:51I thought,
33:53I thought,
33:55I thought,
33:57I thought,
33:59I thought,
34:01I thought,
34:03I thought,
34:05I thought,
34:07I thought,
34:09I thought,
34:14Mr. Atsusi wants to ask Mr. Miyamoto about this collaboration.
34:21What did you think about this collaboration?
34:26I don't know.
34:28We couldn't meet,
34:30I couldn't meet,
34:32He's worn down by ice water.
34:35We were really just hanging out with real people.
34:40We were in the middle of the J-POP scene at the time.
34:46So for Ai-chan, I don't think it was necessary for her to hang out with us.
34:51I see.
34:52As a 5-member group.
34:54But really, people are the best.
34:59Ever since we met, we've been like this.
35:03We like the same kind of music.
35:08I think we've heard the same kind of music before.
35:12If you talk about it, people will understand.
35:15They'll say, you know that song? I love that song.
35:18I want to make that song too.
35:20Let's make it ourselves.
35:22That's what we talked about.
35:25That's how we make good music.
35:28I'm sorry to say this,
35:32but it's completely different.
35:34You're saying that?
35:36Don't you think so?
35:38Even if it's the same song,
35:43even if there's someone with a similar voice,
35:47it's completely different.
35:49I think it's because there's a soul to it.
35:53I'm happy.
35:56I want the people at my company to praise me for hanging out with Ai-chan.
36:05I don't know how much it will affect the image of the artist
36:09to get a stamp with Ai-chan's name on it.
36:13It's like a drum version.
36:15There's no one like her.
36:17She can dance and sing.
36:20I know what you mean.
36:22She can jump too.
36:23I don't think there's anyone who hates her.
36:28Even if there is, she's being thrown around.
36:31I want the people at my company to see this and thank me.
36:37You're already doing it.
36:40What do you mean?

37:28About Ai's dance, Rie Hata says
37:32Even though her singing ability is real,
37:35it's not common for her to be able to dance.
37:38And she doesn't just dance lightly.
37:41She's a really cool hip-hopper.
37:44She can also stand upside down.
