Hello Eric and everyone,

Here is the details of the show as requested.
It also includes some highlights of their conversation
(which had the crowd laughing on and off)
...so, when you guys are watching your rented videos
you can also follow the flow of the show. (^^)

Background info
Seiko has been accused by Wada and other "senior big
sisters" of not observing the proper etiquette (eg. not
greeting people, cutting queue, putting on airs, etc)
and for being ignorant of basic manners and customs...
It was Wada's first appearance on stage (sing) this year
since her accident (car?) and was still in need of a 
walking stick.

SECTION ONE : SEIKO & WADA Corner
    MC Talk 1
    (Seiko goes ahead of Wada, taking the stage by herself
    and talks to the audience as if it was a one-person show)
       W Seikochan, what do you think you are doing?
       S Oh, Iam sorry, I didnt realize that you were here too...
       W What do you mean? we came up on stage together...
       S er... I was really worried about you when I heard about
         your accident. Are you alright now?
       W Yeah right...like you were really concerned...
       S Hey, to prove my sincerity, i had even specially asked
         for a chair so that you could rest on stage...
       (so chair is brought out and Wada gives a full check of the chair)
       S what are you doing? 
       W I just want to be sure that the chair is sturdy just
         case you have done something to it....
       S Do i really look so scheming to you?
       W yep!... I am not exactly completely healed yet, but i 
         thought that if i dont accept this chance of doing it with
         you, i dont think there will ever be another chance to do so!

       W Alright, let's sing some songs when we were idols...
       S ..er...you mean you were actually an idol before???!!
       W did you know that my photo was once the top selling one before?
       S oh...
                   
    Songs of Seiko and Wada
       -Wada's song (sung by both)
       -Natsu no Tobira (by Seiko)
       -Wada's song (by Wada)
       -Akai Sweet Pea (by Seiko)

    MC Talk 2
       S We were once both idols, but how about singing current hit songs 
         of other younger singers like Love Machine? My daughter loves 
         that song...
       W Wow cant believe that you are a 13 year old mother! You dont seem
         to be any different from the time you were singing your old songs
         in your idol days. To sing Akai Sweet Pea like you did just now
         and not be out of place is really something... for me to do that,
         it would have been a 180degrees turn...hahhaha
       S No, that is not true...

    Songs of others (by both)
       -Love Machine 
       -Gattsudaze
       -Seiko's Sweet Memories
     
     MC Talk 3
       W That (Sweet Memories) is a good song, I really like that one.
       S Thank you very much...
       W hey, let's get a chair for you too...
       W You know, ... it is hard to imagine that i am surviving in this
         show, but so far so good i guess...Er... well... er...
       S What is it?
       W well, er...you audience you know right?
         Well, i dont really ...
       S What???
       W Well, I ... I never liked you...
       S Ooooh... oh well, I never ever thought that you did...(crowd
         burst to laughters)
         All I thought to myself that we shared some common things...
       W (shows a comical face saying that she would want to be 
         associated with Seiko in anyway) ... let's see, you mean we
         both have marriaged twice...?
       S Hahhaaa... yes. And thanks for your blessings, this time round
         it is still going fine.
       W (goes and talk about her philosophy of good wife, mother, and her
         cooking skills) ...I make good gyoza (chinese dumplings, although 
         there are much bigger than the ordinary ones...
       S Hey, you really got to let me try them some time...please...
       W what about you? Hardly hear anythign about your cooking skills before
       S Well I am pretty good at making Nimono (a traditional kind of 
         Japanese style cooking that requires simmering) like..... 
       W Oh really... that is surprising...Are you sure? Ok, then tell what
         kinds of Nomino
       S My mother cooks them a lot you see, and also Kippira...
       W Kippira?? hey that is stir-fry not Nimono!!! Are you sure you
         know what you are talking about? (trying to insinuate that Seiko
         was putting up an act...something which in real life Wada always
         do ....to take someone else's words and twist it)
       S no no no... what i am merely trying to say is that i am good at 
         typical Japanese dishes such as all kinds of Nimono as well as Kippira.
         That is all....Ok, Ok... let's move on to our next item let's go.. 
         (Seiko is known among fans to be skillful at escaping 
         "interrogation" when she wants too, and Wada is known for being good 
         at "interrogation")
       W (refusing to let go...) then what about with your daughter?
       S Oh, with her, it is usually cakes adn cookies...

       W You know, we chose to be singers...and i had never regretted. if 
         it hadnt been for the love to sing, i dont think if i would be been
         able to recover so fast.... what about you Seikochan
       S I always thought that i was so fortunate to have gone into this 
         career... nothing less. 
         At this point, I wish to sing a song with you...
       W What song?
       S Your song, mouichido futaride utaritai 
         (meaning Let's sing together again)
       W To sing this song is so apt now, looking at where we are and 
         who we are....ALright, let me stand up and sing this song with you.

      Song by Seiko and Wada
      -mouichido futaride utaritai 
       (look out for seiko's teary eyes and not to mention her beautiful
       voice as she sings this Wada's song with Wada)

SECTION TWO : SOLO
      Songs
      -New Single "20th Party" by Seiko
      -"????" by Wada

    MC Talk 4
       S We have come to the end of the show unfortunately.
       W You really think so? you sure you want to do another show with me
       S Of course Akkosan. Well please get well fast so that we might 
         get on stage together again
       W oh well, let me tell you, when i get well i wont be like what 
         I am right now (ie nice to you) hahahhaha
       S oh...please dont get to that again...

      Final Song
      - Stevie Wonder's "I just called to say I love you"


Seiko wore 2 outfits (great ones- you can see them at the URLs given by
yaji in his posted message) adn appear very much like what fans 
are used to when we see Seiko in concert and dinner shows...
She looks great and her voice too. Surely now that you also have 
most of the conversation, it wouldnt be too much to suggest that you go
that extra mile or make the phonecall to place a  resevation for the 
video at your video store...?(^^)
