[Opening scene: Tokyo streets, focusing on a taxi navigating through traffic]
Narrator (I): Hello, everyone. I am taxi driver in Tokyo. Today is… special day. I meet Fat Mike from NOFX. [pause] NOFX is… famous punk rock band. This is their last tour. I drive for Fat Mike for seven days. I am… excited but nervous. My English is… not so good.
[Scene changes to airport arrival area]
Narrator: I wait at airport. My heart is… beating fast. I hold sign: “Mr. Fat Mike – NOFX”. Then, I see him. Mohawk hair, tattoos… very punk!
[Fat Mike approaches]
I: [nervously] G-Good morning, Mr. Mike. Welcome to Tokyo.
Fat Mike: [friendly] Hey man, what’s up? You my ride?
I: [nodding] Yes, I am your driver. My name is Kenichi Amano. Please… follow me.
[Scene transitions to the taxi]
Narrator: In taxi, I try to talk more.
I: Mr. Mike, how was… your flight?
Fat Mike: Long as hell, but I’m stoked to be here. Tokyo’s always a trip. So, you gonna be my guy for the week?
I: [concentrating] Yes, I drive you for… seven days. I am happy to… help.
Fat Mike: Cool, cool. So, what’s your story? You into music?
I: [perking up] Yes! I… study AI music. Make… audiobook BGM. Use English… for efficiency.
Fat Mike: [interested] AI music? No shit! That’s some futuristic punk rock right there. How’s that work?
I: [struggling but enthusiastic] I use AI to… generate music. For audiobooks. English script is… faster. Japanese is… difficult for AI now.
Fat Mike: That’s wild, man. Mixing tech and tunes, huh? Kinda like what we did with punk, but with computers instead of guitars.
Narrator: I feel… happy. Fat Mike understand my passion.
[Scene changes to hotel arrival]
I: We arrive at… hotel, Mr. Mike. Do you need… help with bags?
Fat Mike: Nah, I’m good. Thanks for the ride, man. This week’s gonna be interesting. See you tomorrow?
I: Yes, I pick you up… 10 AM. Have a good… rest, Mr. Mike.
[Fat Mike exits the taxi]
Narrator: As I watch Fat Mike enter hotel, I think… This week will be… big challenge. But also… exciting. I will learn many things. About music, about English, about punk culture. I hope… I can do good job.
[Closing scene: Taxi driving away from the hotel]
Narrator: Tomorrow is new day. New adventures. I will do my best… to share this journey with you. Thank you for… watching. See you… next time.
