richard jacques: who does
sega: can you pretend to be will smith and oasis
richard jacques: sure
shinichiro watanabe: we want to really capture the soul of jazz, like all of jazz
yoko kanno: i dig it
shinichiro watanabe: but the music rights, it's an impossible nightmare
yoko kanno: no doubt
shinichiro watanabe: any chance you could pretend to be the whole genre?
gabriela robin: consider it done
shinichiro watanabe: ...
gabriela robin: ...
shinichiro watanabe: all you did was put on a hat
gabriela robin: no one can hear you wearing a hat through a microphone
shinichiro watanabe: (sigh) we also need you to pretend to be sting? but we have to be careful, write different lyrics

shinichiro watanabe: sure
gabriela robin: i may need another hat... and some belts
