can anyone understand what they say??

+ i've seen a commercial for the dvd of Confession of Pain, french version. i can't believe it's already available here dubbed & all. i'll buy it tonight.

Yes I can.
In the first 2 clips (which are basically the same) the reporters ask Takeshi Kaneshiro what was it like playing his character. Takeshi-san said that on the set they used real whiskey so every morning when he reported to the set, there was a glass of whiskey on the table waiting for him. So everyday he he begins by drinking during rehersals. Then when it came time to really film the scenes, the director would tell him to drink it. Takeshi-san wasn't sure how much or when to stop drinking since he wasn't sure at what point he'd reach his limit (in getting drunk.) He said he didn't want to drink too little and pretend he was drunk nor did he want to be so drunk that he couldn't recite his lines on cue. In really drinking to get drunk he felt that it helped him to gain more confidence it acting the part. Takeshi-san also spoke about how much he truly admires Tony Leung's acting...especially how he draws people into his character. The reporter then asks Andrew Lau what he thought of working with Takeshi-san and Tony again and Andrew praised Takeshi-san for doing a swell performance. Andrew goes on to joke next time he'll use Takeshi-san for sure instead of Tony Leung. This made everyone including Takeshi-san laugh. Takeshi-san turns to Andrew teasing him he really meant he's going to send him back, not bring him (Takeshi-san) on board. And Andrew deadpans, "No, I'll drop Tony." laughs.
The other clips are about the song Ayumi sings "Secret" and how she says out of the 2 versions, she really pushed Andrew Lau to pick the "Secret" one as the main theme song for the movie and it turned out to be a success.

PINS AND NEEDLES!!

"Have a drink, Takeshi! It's on me!"

"No, thank you.."

"I said it's on me.."

"Yes, I know that but I don't want one right now."

"But.. it's on me.."

"I heard you-oh wait.. you mean literally on you.."

" "

"Oh MAN.."

Really, though, that was a LOT of drinking he did.

[kewpie-chan]

Yes he did. As much as our fav guy can knock quite a few back, to have him admit he drank too much was surprising.

[MissCarlos]

And to be honest, I'm surprised that he could hold that much.

Me? Two beers and I'm emotional.

[kewpie-chan]

Me, I'm like Hitomi in "Golden Bowl" I go from happy to sad and happy again. LOLOL! I used to drink A LOT while in college....dunno how I fare now.

[MissCarlos]

I had an episode where I had to go to the emergency room.

I don't drink hard alcohol any longer. I have like a 0.5% wine cooler now and then.

Thanks for the translations.


TK's got me beat on the drinking thing. One shot of Scotch for me and I am down for the count. Scotch, WOW.

[kewpie-chan]

I can't do straight hard liquor...can't stand how it burns the throat. Mixed thingytails and beer are different.

[kewpie-chan]

[kewpie-chan]

Ohhhh that's right. You can't type c**k in this board. LOL
