At the airport we got first and last names off of the car driver pick-up signs. We then put those names on our signs and welcomed those same people to Japan. 2/15（日）12:00PM、 パイレーツ・オブ・道頓堀は忠実なファン達と共にスーツケースも航空券も持たずに関西国際空港へ。 見ず知らずの人達を笑わせるためです。 花束・たこ焼きのヌイグルミ・風船、「大阪へようこそ！」と書かれた3メートルの巨大サイン、「ようこそ」「やっと会えた！」等の紙のサインを用意しました。 関空では待機中の運転手たちが掲げているネームボードから名前を選び、 その名前をパイレーツが用意した歓迎用サインに使ったのです。 Upon getting to the airport, we broke out markers and pens to decorate the signs.
