Reunion of the band of brothers

My buddy Kenji said that he was going to play with our old buddies, Garrison and Erik, on that night. WHAAAAAT!? Four of us were in the same party band for years and literally did a few hundred gigs together. Oh, I must see them. I gate-crashed their party, without letting them know.

 友人の健司さんが今夜はギグで、ギャリソンとエリックと一緒に演奏すると言います。どええええ!?な、なんやて!?我ら4人は一緒のパーティー・バンドで何百本ものギグをこなしてきた仲でございます。ムムム、これは会いに行かねばならん。私は、(ほぼ無理矢理)彼らのギグに押し掛けてしまいました。

After we saw our faces, we were screaming each other's names and hugged so hard. We were just so happy to see each other. I had not seen them for a few years and I was really glad to see them alive. They said they were still very active in the Boston's music scene. I could only listen to the sound check but they played as great as before and they had a wonderful new band with them.

Hey, let's meet up again soon and let's play together next time.

 顔を見た瞬間に、もう名前を叫んで抱き合って再会を喜び合いましたよ。彼らとは数年会っていなかったのですが、相変わらず元気な姿で安心しました。まだまだボストンでブイブイいわせて演奏しているそうです。サウンド・チェックだけ聴くことができたのですが、良いバンドを引き連れていて、演奏もすんごい良かったです。

 みんな、また近いうちに会うべい。そんで、一緒に演奏もするべい。
