Do you still remember the pain that you got
The pain you went through carrying all those heavy Marshall amps...
from carrying those heavy Marshall amps?
Do you still remember it?


Is it me who has suddenly been entangled in this town?
Is it me that's suddenly become entangled in this town?
When I'm comfortable, I smile. I don't have time for such things...
When I'm comfortable, I smile—I don't have time for such things...

Everybody will remember me as a useless bum in anger
Yes, I am not mistaken.
Yes, I'm not mistaken
If you can sing about the ups and downs in the future, it will be fun.
If you can sing about both the ups and downs in the future, it'll all be fun


Is it you who has suddenly been entangled in this town?
Is it you that's suddenly become entangled in this town?
I don't want to say things like "What if I'm reborn" with a glow in my eyes
I don't want to say things like, "What if I'm reborn?" with a glow in my eyes
I'm worried whether the few colleagues I barely know are friend or foe.
I'm worried whether the few colleagues I hardly know are friend or foe
In this never ending world, there's no other way but to keep your head up and continue living on.
In this never-ending world, there's no other way but to keep your head up and continue living


Who has suddenly been entangled in this town?

I'm not sure whether I want to go back to those foolish days or not. (FUCK ME BABY)

Do you have fears? Do you have things to protect?

<font color="darkred">The guy who played guitar all night and had all the fun with the bare-skinned girls</font>
He's finally taking a smooth step into the business world/It's difficult to choose the best path to success
 
Do you still remember carrying those heavy Marshall amps until your back hurt?
 
I don't know since when someone completely merged with this street, is it me?
While laughing, it's proclaimed this would be a good place to live, but maybe there's no need for such talk anymore
 
<font color="darkred">On one lonely Monday night, he finally joins the others
While joking around, he says it's something that can't be helped and thinks many things about himself</font>
Yes, I'm not wrong
Whether the future should float or sink, we'll be happy if we continue singing
 
I don't know since when someone completely merged with this street, is it you?
Don't wanna say with shining eyes anymore, "If I could just start over and change everything—"
Conversations with those who know little of the situation, discussing whether they're friends or enemies
In this endlessly going world, there's no way to live but to keep holding your head high
 
I don't know since when someone completely merged with this street, who is that someone?
The useless life back then, wanna go back to it, don't wanna go back to it <font color="darkred">(?)</font>
Do you have things to be afraid of now? Do you have anyone to take care of now?
In this endlessly going world, there's no way to live but to keep holding your head high</poem>

B'z » Lyrics » Pleasure'98 ~Jinsei no Kairaku~ (Lyrics)
 
Romanized Title      Pleasure'98 ~Jinsei no Kairaku~
Japanese Title       Pleasure'98 ~人生の快楽~
English Title        Pleasure'98 ~The Pleasure of Life~

Music                Tak Matsumoto
Lyrics               Koshi Inaba

Release Date         1998

Note: "Pleasure" has become the theme of the Pleasure LIVE-GYM concerts and is something of a unique entity in the B'z catalogue in that its lyrics have evolved and changed over time with new iterations. Primarily, the first line of the song and the lines immediately following the first chorus differ in the new versions, along with some altered backing vocals later in the song. This ongoing story is captured in the song's many renditions, of which only three have been released on CD (1991, 1998, and 2008). In addition, a version of "Pleasure" has been played at every Pleasure LIVE-GYM to date apart from the 1993 and 1997 editions.

Lyrics in red are those that are different from other versions.

Japanese

一晩中ギターと女の裸で盛り上がってたあいつも
そつなく大手に就職決まりためらいがちの出世街道

重いマーシャル運んでた腰の痛み
まだ覚えてるの

いつのまにかこの街に　丸め込まれたのは僕？
居心地いいと笑ってる　そんな余裕はいらないのかな…

あいつもとうとうひとりになった月曜日の夜　よってたかって
しょうがねえやつだなんて　からかいながらだれもが我が身　ふりかえる
イエス、自分は間違ってない
この先の浮き沈みも歌えば楽し

いつのまにかこの街に　丸め込まれたのは君？
「もし生まれ変わったら」 なんて　目を輝かせて言ってたくない
勝手知ったる少ない仲間と　敵だ味方だとさわいでる
止まれないこの世界で　胸を張って生きるしかない

いつのまにかこの街に　丸め込まれるのは誰？
くだらなかったあの頃に　戻りたい戻りたくない (FUCK ME BABY)
怖いものはありますか？　守るものはありますか？
止まれないこの世界で　胸を張って生きるしかない

English

The guy who's been enjoying himself with guitars and naked women all night long
H'es taken a job at a big firm and is on his unclear way to success

The pain you went through carrying all those heavy Marshall amps...
Do you still remember it?

Is it me that's suddenly become entangled in this town?
When I'm comfortable, I smile—I don't have time for such things...

He became lonely on a Monday night and suddenly felt the need to get drunk
Everybody will remember me as a useless bum in anger
Yes, I'm not mistaken
If you can sing about both the ups and downs in the future, it'll all be fun

Is it you that's suddenly become entangled in this town?
I don't want to say things like, "What if I'm reborn?" with a glow in my eyes
I'm worried whether the few colleagues I hardly know are friend or foe
In this never-ending world, there's no other way but to keep your head up and continue living

Who is it that's suddenly become entangled in this town?
I'm not sure whether I want to go back to those foolish days or not (FUCK ME BABY)
Do you have fears? Do you have things to protect?
In this never-ending world, there's no other way but to keep your head up and continue living
