WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.004 Translation & Subtitles: thoseguiltyeyes | scandal-heaven.com 00:00:04.425 --> 00:00:06.415 Hello, RINA here. 00:00:07.016 --> 00:00:12.146 This is my first video in a little bit. Hope you guys have been doing well. 00:00:12.523 --> 00:00:17.218 A little bit ago I asked on my Instagram for questions you have for me, 00:00:17.218 --> 00:00:20.807 And I will be answering those questions today. 00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:24.595 This'll be my first Q&A in a while. 00:00:25.050 --> 00:00:27.093 Let's get right to it. 00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:29.895 "Q. What do you think of male daycare workers?" 00:00:30.185 --> 00:00:32.035 Male daycare workers. 00:00:32.612 --> 00:00:34.799 I think that's wonderful! 00:00:35.909 --> 00:00:40.449 I think there are still many more female daycare workers, 00:00:40.715 --> 00:00:48.536 But I definitely think there are jobs helping others out that male workers can do and are making progress in. 00:00:48.666 --> 00:00:54.156 They're working with the same intentions [as female workers], so I think it's great. 00:00:54.256 --> 00:00:55.294 Next one. 00:00:55.525 --> 00:01:00.075 "Q. Job hunting is neverending for me. Those I know are getting jobs, which is making me feel anxious." 00:01:00.247 --> 00:01:02.377 Ah, I see. 00:01:02.808 --> 00:01:07.278 I get questions like this from time to time, 00:01:07.348 --> 00:01:12.978 But right now I think there are a lot of people who feel anxious. 00:01:13.327 --> 00:01:17.327 I've actually never gone job hunting. 00:01:17.530 --> 00:01:24.049 The only job I've had is being in a band. 00:01:24.049 --> 00:01:26.454 I've never had a part-time job either. 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:32.057 So I think there are only a few things I can say about it, 00:01:32.214 --> 00:01:33.470 But... 00:01:34.190 --> 00:01:38.878 Focus on what you ought to do right now, or what you can do. 00:01:38.989 --> 00:01:44.959 Rather than feeling down by comparing yourself to those around you, 00:01:44.988 --> 00:01:53.308 You should face things positively and something may happen for you. 00:01:54.222 --> 00:01:55.672 Good luck! 00:01:55.999 --> 00:02:03.140 "Q. My friend departed from this world by their own hand. What do you do when you're emotionally worn out?" 00:02:03.768 --> 00:02:05.018 I see. 00:02:06.660 --> 00:02:09.850 Well... 00:02:10.302 --> 00:02:11.812 For me as well, 00:02:13.347 --> 00:02:18.057 We went on a 47-prefecture tour a few years ago, 00:02:18.362 --> 00:02:26.292 And at that time a good friend of mine similarly passed away. 00:02:26.891 --> 00:02:32.400 I can't really put into words what I felt, 00:02:32.853 --> 00:02:35.493 And I couldn't really accept it. 00:02:35.873 --> 00:02:42.353 I quit trying to think about something else or to get over it. 00:02:42.353 --> 00:02:48.995 I started to think that I will make sure to live out the rest of the story properly. 00:02:49.613 --> 00:02:51.961 When you feel emotionally worn out... 00:02:52.918 --> 00:02:54.527 Well... 00:02:54.998 --> 00:02:57.248 It depends on the reason. 00:02:57.673 --> 00:02:59.253 It's hard to say. 00:02:59.889 --> 00:03:05.109 When something tires me out, or I mess up with work, 00:03:05.378 --> 00:03:09.568 Or when I'm tired of things not going well, 00:03:09.832 --> 00:03:13.372 I do things that are completely different from those. 00:03:13.578 --> 00:03:15.868 Like, I watch variety shows, 00:03:16.069 --> 00:03:18.775 See a movie alone, etc. 00:03:20.303 --> 00:03:22.483 That's how I switch things up. 00:03:22.483 --> 00:03:27.129 Also, in my case, 00:03:27.129 --> 00:03:32.810 I talk to someone I can talk to anything about, like a good friend or one of my little sisters, 00:03:32.810 --> 00:03:38.443 Even if my feelings are jumbled and unorganized. 00:03:39.067 --> 00:03:45.471 I think there are times when things get a little easier when someone listens to you. 00:03:45.992 --> 00:03:51.882 "Q. You can also include how you feel about this now, but if you were to get married, would you still stay in the band?" 00:03:53.050 --> 00:03:55.287 I got a lot of questions about this too. 00:03:57.168 --> 00:04:04.792 I don't really think about what to do regarding things in the future, 00:04:07.451 --> 00:04:13.888 If when I get married I still want to be in the band, then I will. 00:04:14.069 --> 00:04:19.256 I don't know the answer right now. 00:04:20.606 --> 00:04:22.617 That's not really an answer, though. 00:04:23.311 --> 00:04:25.937 I don't know right now. 00:04:26.053 --> 00:04:27.171 But... 00:04:27.274 --> 00:04:32.994 I'd like for the four of us to continue playing music for as long as we can. 00:04:33.521 --> 00:04:38.702 But as it's difficult to do something for your entire life, 00:04:40.731 --> 00:04:45.545 We're taking it year by year, concert by concert, and treasuring it all. 00:04:46.827 --> 00:04:53.291 I want to continue doing what we've been doing for as long as we can do it. 00:04:53.996 --> 00:04:57.842 "Q. I'm now 30. Can I still change careers?" 00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:02.334 You can totally change careers. 00:05:05.376 --> 00:05:13.276 There are a lot of things you're not able to do as you get older. 00:05:15.016 --> 00:05:19.016 Thinking realistically about it, your physical strength and the like... 00:05:21.097 --> 00:05:25.367 There may be more things you're not able to do, 00:05:25.514 --> 00:05:30.594 But I'm the type of person who thinks that you don't need to hit the brakes. 00:05:31.754 --> 00:05:36.434 I think it's totally fine for a 30 year old, right? Not completely sure. 00:05:36.434 --> 00:05:38.625 I'm currently 29 years old, 00:05:39.327 --> 00:05:46.259 And when there's something new that I want to do, then I try doing it. 00:05:46.664 --> 00:05:49.684 That's not the same as changing careers, 00:05:49.767 --> 00:05:58.052 But while focusing on the band, I want to do what I want to do at a given time. 00:05:58.676 --> 00:06:00.546 I think it's totally doable. 00:06:00.743 --> 00:06:01.943 Good luck. 00:06:02.259 --> 00:06:07.265 "Q. I broke up with my boyfriend. RINA, have you been hurt by love before?" 00:06:07.432 --> 00:06:10.932 Yes, I have. 00:06:11.189 --> 00:06:12.339 Many times. 00:06:12.384 --> 00:06:14.204 I've had a broken heart before. 00:06:14.393 --> 00:06:16.123 I've also been dumped. 00:06:18.556 --> 00:06:20.796 I'm the same as you guys. 00:06:21.618 --> 00:06:25.932 But it is really tough right after breaking up. 00:06:26.082 --> 00:06:27.592 I totally understand. 00:06:27.640 --> 00:06:31.524 But after some time passes, you might consider it a good experience. 00:06:32.681 --> 00:06:35.491 This is kind of like an occupational disease, 00:06:35.826 --> 00:06:40.286 But for me, I turn those feelings into lyrics. 00:06:41.984 --> 00:06:45.424 There are also times when I'm like, "I'll turn this into a phrase." 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.469 But it's tough. I totally get that it's tough. 00:06:48.864 --> 00:06:51.734 There have also been times when I've cried and asked the members for advice, 00:06:51.734 --> 00:06:56.084 And we'll be starting a tour the following week. 00:06:58.004 --> 00:06:59.874 We're all the same. 00:07:00.697 --> 00:07:05.394 It's a sad thing to separate from someone you love. 00:07:05.744 --> 00:07:11.910 But it's not as if they've left this world forever; you can see them again. 00:07:11.976 --> 00:07:16.747 It's possible that you could be friends after some time passes. 00:07:19.097 --> 00:07:21.601 Don't despair too much. 00:07:21.875 --> 00:07:28.777 Treasure the present and move forward while looking on the positive side. 00:07:29.443 --> 00:07:33.954 You get hurt because you had a really great love. 00:07:35.350 --> 00:07:39.960 "Q. I haven't listened to Japanese music in a bit, but I came to like you even more after watching your YouTube videos." 00:07:39.960 --> 00:07:41.600 (/Welcome home🕊/) That makes me happy to hear. 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:44.450 "Q. Do you write lyrics from actual experiences?" 00:07:46.259 --> 00:07:48.160 As for lyrics... 00:07:48.308 --> 00:07:51.581 I don't really write my experiences exactly how they are. 00:07:51.735 --> 00:08:00.545 There are times when I write songs about heartbreak, like what I mentioned earlier, 00:08:00.843 --> 00:08:05.473 But that's not always the case. 00:08:05.524 --> 00:08:06.694 It's all over the place. 00:08:06.694 --> 00:08:12.804 But I totally do draw inspiration from those experiences. 00:08:14.825 --> 00:08:19.446 Everything can be a seed for music. 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:25.509 When I'm going through emotional ups and downs, 00:08:25.509 --> 00:08:28.439 Or when good or bad stuff happens, 00:08:28.526 --> 00:08:34.566 Ideas often come to mind when things are like that, 00:08:35.622 --> 00:08:39.622 So whatever happens can definitely be a starter for something. 00:08:40.932 --> 00:08:47.859 I'm bad at writing things on a deadline, like if I'm told, "Turn something in within a week." 00:08:48.667 --> 00:08:51.788 I don't know whether or not I can do it. 00:08:53.342 --> 00:08:55.552 I still have to do it, though. 00:08:55.707 --> 00:08:57.877 It's pretty difficult for me. 00:08:57.979 --> 00:09:00.553 I don't know when I'll finish it. 00:09:01.511 --> 00:09:02.715 Yep. 00:09:02.779 --> 00:09:06.755 I apologize to those at our managing office and record label. 00:09:08.027 --> 00:09:13.878 "Q. Are you interested in any jobs outside of being a musical artist, or are there any jobs you'd like to try doing?" 00:09:14.381 --> 00:09:17.650 Eh, I'm not sure. 00:09:18.522 --> 00:09:22.142 Since I was little, I've wanted to make things. 00:09:22.211 --> 00:09:27.531 I really yearned to have a job where I'd be in the spotlight. 00:09:27.743 --> 00:09:30.963 That's really the only dream I had. 00:09:31.749 --> 00:09:36.095 That's why even now it's hard for me to think of something outside of this. 00:09:37.276 --> 00:09:42.216 Right now, I have the DAISY Project, 00:09:43.594 --> 00:09:46.339 Which is a project that supports those in motherless/fatherless families, 00:09:46.513 --> 00:09:56.468 And people who need support, as well as those living in troubled home environments. 00:09:56.653 --> 00:09:57.773 But yeah... 00:09:57.890 --> 00:10:01.039 There might be something new I find, 00:10:01.520 --> 00:10:06.507 But I don't think there's a completely different job I'd want to do, 00:10:08.667 --> 00:10:10.329 Now that I think about it. 00:10:10.807 --> 00:10:16.507 "Q. What kinds of videos do you want to do on YouTube in the future? Is there something you'd like to try?" 00:10:17.687 --> 00:10:20.967 For YouTube, I truly... 00:10:21.227 --> 00:10:23.908 Want it to be natural... 00:10:24.709 --> 00:10:26.139 And... 00:10:26.439 --> 00:10:30.880 I want this to be a place where you can refresh, 00:10:30.880 --> 00:10:36.312 And where I do things that you guys want me to do, while centering my content on vlogs. 00:10:36.550 --> 00:10:42.532 I also want this to be a place where I can talk about things not talked about during MCs at shows, 00:10:42.532 --> 00:10:45.412 Nor during interviews when we release new songs. 00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:48.626 Like replying to questions, for example. 00:10:48.808 --> 00:10:53.948 There aren't many places where I can talk about things at length, 00:10:54.136 --> 00:10:56.505 So I'd like to answer questions, 00:10:56.788 --> 00:11:03.658 And I hope that a new form of communication with our fans will be born from that. 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.340 I haven't decided exactly how to go about things, 00:11:07.340 --> 00:11:13.400 But I hope each time I can share myself as I am. 00:11:14.232 --> 00:11:21.826 "Q. When you're fed up with things in your daily life or when you feel down, how do you keep yourself calm? Things have been tough recently." 00:11:22.131 --> 00:11:26.331 Recently...yeah. There are a lot of people who can't live the way they want. 00:11:26.502 --> 00:11:31.612 For us as well, we can't work the way we usually do. 00:11:32.925 --> 00:11:40.565 I think it's a difficult time for everyone to keep themselves calm. 00:11:40.849 --> 00:11:42.977 Eh, what do I do? 00:11:44.368 --> 00:11:46.040 At home... 00:11:47.742 --> 00:11:51.882 I watch "Aiseki Shokudou" or "Gout Temps Nouveau," 00:11:52.149 --> 00:11:56.469 And recently I've been watching new shows as well. 00:11:57.123 --> 00:12:02.740 I watch things that you can kick back and enjoy. 00:12:03.094 --> 00:12:07.528 That's pretty standard but really effective. 00:12:09.168 --> 00:12:12.166 Watch things that make you feel relaxed. 00:12:14.322 --> 00:12:15.252 Yeah. 00:12:15.319 --> 00:12:18.529 Watch things that you know will be interesting. 00:12:18.701 --> 00:12:20.519 Social media too. 00:12:21.093 --> 00:12:25.595 It's easy to view, but some info may make you feel down. 00:12:26.235 --> 00:12:29.365 So when I'm having a hard time, 00:12:29.365 --> 00:12:34.497 I only watch variety shows, dramas, or things I know will be fun to watch. 00:12:36.090 --> 00:12:39.716 Don't take it all on yourself. 00:12:40.264 --> 00:12:44.613 I hope watching my YouTube videos can give you a little peace of mind. 00:12:44.910 --> 00:12:46.704 Let's do our best together. 00:12:46.963 --> 00:12:48.083 It'll be all right. 00:12:48.656 --> 00:12:52.656 "Q. Would you want to try writing really dark songs in the future?" 00:12:52.829 --> 00:12:54.665 Really dark songs? 00:12:55.513 --> 00:12:57.510 Really dark songs, huh... 00:12:57.744 --> 00:13:00.416 I have written lyrics like that, definitely. 00:13:00.764 --> 00:13:04.545 My lyrics are quite dark, suprisingly. 00:13:07.152 --> 00:13:12.082 It might be surprising that some songs we've released so far have dark lyrics. 00:13:13.757 --> 00:13:15.720 What do you think, guys? 00:13:15.934 --> 00:13:19.684 Those familiar with SCANDAL songs might know. 00:13:20.374 --> 00:13:22.234 If you do, leave a comment. 00:13:22.234 --> 00:13:24.324 My lyrics can be surprisingly dark. 00:13:24.409 --> 00:13:25.968 It might be surprising. 00:13:26.123 --> 00:13:27.627 Also... 00:13:31.211 --> 00:13:32.801 The song "Midnight City," 00:13:32.801 --> 00:13:35.941 Which I wrote the lyrics and music for and also sang lead vocals on, 00:13:35.941 --> 00:13:38.131 It's not really a cheerful song. 00:13:41.839 --> 00:13:45.336 But it's not like I really try to write dark songs. 00:13:45.526 --> 00:13:47.706 It happens naturally. 00:13:47.847 --> 00:13:51.847 That's why I'm not sure how they'll be in the future either. 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.889 There may be times when I will come out with dark ones. 00:13:56.591 --> 00:13:57.591 Onto the next one. 00:13:58.216 --> 00:14:05.428 "Q. My impression of you is that you always speak using kind, thoughtful words. How can I be like that too?" 00:14:06.274 --> 00:14:07.565 That makes me happy. 00:14:11.058 --> 00:14:14.776 I fundamentally love language. 00:14:16.837 --> 00:14:20.407 I also love reading song lyrics. 00:14:20.988 --> 00:14:28.214 I really like reading people's blogs or notes. 00:14:29.406 --> 00:14:33.036 I like leaving behind words, 00:14:33.130 --> 00:14:39.499 So I think I'm always unconsciously thinking about saying things in a way 00:14:39.499 --> 00:14:50.042 That's most like me and that uses wording that feels the most comfortable to me. 00:14:50.714 --> 00:14:54.334 During interviews and such I speak in the way I usually do, 00:14:54.334 --> 00:14:58.804 And there are a lot of times when I'm told, "You have quite the unique way of expressing yourself," 00:14:59.016 --> 00:15:01.786 That's something I don't quite get myself. 00:15:02.949 --> 00:15:03.709 But... 00:15:03.709 --> 00:15:08.949 Since I like using mellow language, 00:15:08.949 --> 00:15:13.219 I think it just comes out like that naturally. 00:15:15.887 --> 00:15:20.800 I don't want to use words that could be hurtful. 00:15:22.351 --> 00:15:25.401 It makes me happy that I'm perceived in that way. 00:15:25.430 --> 00:15:27.010 Thank you. 00:15:28.232 --> 00:15:29.482 Next one. 00:15:29.868 --> 00:15:33.048 "Q. How many unreleased songs are there?" 00:15:33.437 --> 00:15:36.890 Unreleased songs...meaning songs stockpiled for later, right? 00:15:37.273 --> 00:15:38.523 Stockpiled... 00:15:38.523 --> 00:15:42.973 Songs we've written and haven't released...how many are there? 00:15:43.412 --> 00:15:46.774 There might be some, 00:15:47.266 --> 00:15:52.566 But basically, we very rarely decide to release songs from that supply. 00:15:55.341 --> 00:15:57.991 So maybe one unreleased song as of right now. 00:15:59.160 --> 00:16:02.920 "Q. RINA, do you also no longer want to be a human being?" 00:16:03.020 --> 00:16:05.560 What's wrong? Did something happen? 00:16:06.863 --> 00:16:08.891 Maybe something happened that they didn't like. 00:16:11.117 --> 00:16:16.502 They must mean something like, "Are there times when you want to run away from everything?" 00:16:17.554 --> 00:16:20.732 There are, of course. I'm a human being, after all. 00:16:21.923 --> 00:16:26.113 There are fun days, and days that aren't fun, 00:16:26.310 --> 00:16:29.778 And there are times when nothing's going right. 00:16:31.983 --> 00:16:33.703 But... 00:16:35.315 --> 00:16:38.095 In my case, I recently realized 00:16:38.266 --> 00:16:43.637 That there are times when I drive myself too far into a corner. 00:16:45.076 --> 00:16:47.439 Like... 00:16:47.924 --> 00:16:48.864 How do I put it... 00:16:48.864 --> 00:16:56.628 It's important to think that's okay. 00:16:58.173 --> 00:17:01.493 "Q. I'd like to know how you release stress." 00:17:03.466 --> 00:17:04.824 I see. 00:17:04.951 --> 00:17:12.161 Recently, I decided to go to Osaka, while making sure to be careful. 00:17:12.236 --> 00:17:19.436 I went to Kyoto via car, which is about an hour away from Osaka, 00:17:20.441 --> 00:17:26.281 And I took a stroll amidst nature. 00:17:26.411 --> 00:17:29.341 It was really relaxing. 00:17:29.477 --> 00:17:35.237 It's so healing and relieving to be surrounded by nature. 00:17:35.338 --> 00:17:39.968 I thought that spending time in nature would be a great stress reliever. 00:17:40.306 --> 00:17:42.516 I wonder where they live. 00:17:42.838 --> 00:17:46.508 It's not the best idea to take a trip right now, 00:17:46.674 --> 00:17:48.964 But take a little breather 00:17:49.075 --> 00:17:54.785 And visit a place you don't regularly go to. It's so relaxing. 00:17:55.775 --> 00:17:59.775 "Q. RINA, what thing do you treasure the most?" 00:18:00.297 --> 00:18:01.542 Eh, I wonder. 00:18:01.542 --> 00:18:03.541 Something physical? 00:18:04.874 --> 00:18:06.424 I wonder. 00:18:06.520 --> 00:18:09.954 If it's something not visible, then I'd say words. 00:18:13.190 --> 00:18:17.120 If it's something visible... I wonder... 00:18:17.120 --> 00:18:18.754 This is difficult. 00:18:22.146 --> 00:18:25.310 The people close to me. 00:18:28.465 --> 00:18:29.655 Yep. 00:18:30.423 --> 00:18:32.243 I hope that's acceptable. 00:18:33.131 --> 00:18:40.101 "Q, What kind of person do you want to get married to? I have a boyfriend but I'm wondering if he's the person for me." 00:18:40.162 --> 00:18:41.452 I see. 00:18:41.643 --> 00:18:50.933 Recently, a classmate from my hometown suddenly LINE'd me 00:18:51.023 --> 00:18:55.353 And talked to me about this same subject. 00:18:55.611 --> 00:19:00.446 "What kind of person"... I can't imagine that at all. 00:19:01.006 --> 00:19:02.722 I can't imagine it, but... 00:19:03.035 --> 00:19:05.515 I don't know if this will be helpful, 00:19:05.719 --> 00:19:13.371 But I don't think you should be too swayed by other peoples' opinions. 00:19:13.539 --> 00:19:16.572 What my classmate told me 00:19:17.343 --> 00:19:23.623 Is that marriage isn't just a matter between two people--it involves both of your families, 00:19:23.707 --> 00:19:28.407 So when you hear the opinions of your parents, you can get really confused. 00:19:28.511 --> 00:19:30.498 We talked about that. 00:19:30.548 --> 00:19:35.323 They have their own life, and they decided that their partner's a good person, 00:19:35.323 --> 00:19:38.203 So I did want them to get married. 00:19:40.466 --> 00:19:43.848 I have no idea what kind of person I'm going to marry, 00:19:43.848 --> 00:19:50.568 Nor if I'll actually marry someone, 00:19:50.628 --> 00:19:59.226 But I think I do want to be able to make a choice while valuing what I feel. (I hope you have someone you can talk about your worries with～🕊) 00:20:00.085 --> 00:20:03.405 I selected a lot of questions this time, 00:20:03.405 --> 00:20:05.875 So I'll be splitting this up into two videos. 00:20:05.900 --> 00:20:09.430 I'll end the first video here. 00:20:09.539 --> 00:20:12.259 Thanks so much for watching until the end! 00:20:12.274 --> 00:20:18.584 If you'd like, please leave a comment, like the video, and/or subscribe to my channel. 00:20:18.651 --> 00:20:23.138 Please feel free to leave me some motivation to make my next video. 00:20:23.242 --> 00:20:25.752 Thanks for watching all of this! 00:20:25.752 --> 00:20:29.462 Please look forward to part 2 of this Q&A. 00:20:29.462 --> 00:20:31.773 See you in my next video. 00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:33.307 Bye bye!
