Hello! RINA here.

0:00:18.583,0:00:20.160
I went and got some Starbucks.

0:00:22.976,0:00:24.380
Today,

0:00:27.223,0:00:28.833
I got a Caramel Macchiato.

0:00:29.775,0:00:31.546
I'll be drinking it as I film this.

0:00:36.566,0:00:38.343
What should I do?

0:00:42.086,0:00:43.333
It's really good.

0:00:44.534,0:00:51.034
I decided today to do a video of me talking about something and turned on the camera...

0:00:51.644,0:00:54.304
I'll just be speaking leisurely about whatever.

0:00:54.507,0:00:57.497
What should I talk about? Maybe just small talk.

0:00:57.811,0:00:59.461
Oh yeah,

0:00:59.762,0:01:04.265
As of today, I've been on YouTube for a month!

0:01:04.265,0:01:05.868
Yay!

0:01:06.667,0:01:08.189
It went by so fast.

0:01:08.626,0:01:11.406
This is my fifth video.

0:01:11.666,0:01:17.329
I've surprisingly been able to release one video per week.

0:01:19.434,0:01:22.022
I wasn't sure what pace to go with,

0:01:22.710,0:01:26.299
But since I'm spending a lot of time at home right now,

0:01:26.299,0:01:28.421
I think I'll keep being able to upload them up at a good pace.

0:01:28.421,0:01:31.381
I wonder what your days have been like recently.

0:01:31.570,0:01:34.341
The city's going back to normal little by little,

0:01:34.341,0:01:38.241
There have been people who have continued to work hard all this time,

0:01:38.241,0:01:43.974
And I'm sure there are people who work outside who are finally going back.

0:01:44.222,0:01:45.372
How has that been?

0:01:45.372,0:01:51.442
For the band, we've been meeting at our office once every two weeks

0:01:51.442,0:01:53.232
With the bare minimum number of staff members

0:01:53.232,0:01:55.793
And recording our radio program.

0:01:55.793,0:01:59.213
We also hold meetings then.

0:01:59.213,0:02:01.100
We're not able to play live shows,

0:02:01.100,0:02:04.300
But we're doing what we can at home.

0:02:06.150,0:02:14.475
Recently, a fellow classmate who went to the same all-girls' school in Osaka as me a long time ago,

0:02:14.475,0:02:18.113
And whom I was good friends with, contacted me.

0:02:18.357,0:02:22.697
That doesn't happen with me often.

0:02:22.895,0:02:27.232
It's not often that someone who I haven't spoken to in a long time contacts me.

0:02:27.269,0:02:32.200
She's also playing music and living in Tokyo.

0:02:32.200,0:02:35.555
We met up for the first time in a long time

0:02:35.555,0:02:39.449
And talked at a cafe for around two hours.

0:02:39.449,0:02:44.808
We talked about a lot of things like what we did after graduating high school,

0:02:45.155,0:02:48.935
And what we're currently doing.

0:02:49.016,0:02:53.236
It's nice to do what you love doing.

0:02:53.236,0:03:03.306
During times like these is when I think of how my stances on how to think, live, and work have changed considerably.

0:03:03.319,0:03:08.699
I've noticed that my thoughts get organized when I talk with friends.

0:03:08.699,0:03:12.659
We had our major label debut, and since I'm a drummer,

0:03:12.659,0:03:17.740
Drums are the focus of my job.

0:03:17.740,0:03:19.980
However, I would like to do all kinds of things.

0:03:19.980,0:03:21.840
I want to do what I want to at the time,

0:03:21.840,0:03:27.490
And try doing things that I can do in my own way.

0:03:27.490,0:03:31.904
My stance on that has never changed.

0:03:31.904,0:03:38.420
I've always wanted to play music in Tokyo,

0:03:38.420,0:03:43.444
So I thought it was a given that I'd forever continue living in Tokyo,

0:03:43.821,0:03:48.734
But I remembered that that's not something set in stone.

0:03:48.734,0:03:52.170
Well, I currently have no plans at all to move,

0:03:52.170,0:03:57.010
But my friend lived in Los Angeles for several months,

0:03:57.010,0:04:01.340
And she doesn't know where she'll be living in the future.

0:04:01.340,0:04:04.940
She said that she'll decide when the time comes.

0:04:04.940,0:04:08.550
I thought that having all that freedom was really wonderful.

0:04:08.550,0:04:14.623
You don't need to stay in one place just because you have stability.

0:04:15.490,0:04:19.660
Currently, aside from our band activities,

0:04:19.660,0:04:24.327
The four of us produce an apparel brand called "FEEDBACK,"

0:04:24.327,0:04:27.427
And I recently started my YouTube channel.

0:04:27.427,0:04:32.243
I made a zine for my first YouTube video.

0:04:32.313,0:04:37.663
In the past I put out a book that summarizes my lifestyle.

0:04:37.691,0:04:40.461
I've done all sorts of things.

0:04:40.534,0:04:52.127
At first there weren't many musicians doing a lot of different things compared to now.

0:04:52.658,0:04:56.118
I started doing a lot of crazy things.

0:04:56.118,0:04:59.208
I've done things that surprised people.

0:04:59.208,0:05:02.298
The people who like our music,

0:05:02.298,0:05:12.597
I think it used to be that many people couldn't accept when we did things other than music.

0:05:12.597,0:05:16.597
I understand why they felt that.

0:05:17.008,0:05:21.884
They want musicians to just concentrate on music.

0:05:21.884,0:05:26.965
I understood why they wanted that,

0:05:26.965,0:05:30.443
And that it's inevitable that there will be people like that.

0:05:30.650,0:05:35.307
But as we continue to carefully try out all sorts of things,

0:05:35.307,0:05:46.929
There are people who say it's fun to see us do that.

0:05:46.929,0:05:51.098
Our apparel brand FEEDBACK has a physical store in Shibuya.

0:05:51.098,0:05:55.098
I'll put in the address.[br][br]Tokyo, Shibuya-ku, Jinnan 1-3-1

0:05:55.249,0:06:00.659
There are times when people wander in

0:06:00.659,0:06:06.985
And ask the staff who makes the clothes,

0:06:06.985,0:06:11.920
And that's how they find out about us, the band SCANDAL.

0:06:11.920,0:06:21.223
It's really interesting how, although rare, something like this links to music.

0:06:21.243,0:06:27.769
It's fun to connect everything together like this.

0:06:27.769,0:06:36.693
I really do like doing my job and my favorite things in that way.

0:06:36.693,0:06:44.608
I think it would be great to be able to think more freely about all kinds of things in an unconventional way.

0:06:44.608,0:06:47.384
I wonder what will happen in the future.

0:06:48.235,0:06:51.136
I don't even know what I'll do,

0:06:51.491,0:06:55.382
So I hope I'll always be excited about being in this profession.

0:06:55.512,0:07:00.518
(Thinking...)

0:07:00.518,0:07:07.378
Thinking about that and talking with people made me realize that.

0:07:07.658,0:07:14.786
I think this has also been a period when I could think things over because I have so much free time.

0:07:17.170,0:07:19.030
How do I sum it up...

0:07:19.030,0:07:21.318
I think editing this video will be tough to do...

0:07:21.318,0:07:22.397
(My inner thoughts slipped out.)

0:07:26.408,0:07:36.991
I'm of course a musician, but I want to be a person who can make statements while doing all sorts of things.

0:07:39.701,0:07:49.626
I also really like the sense of the people who support us and the way they view things and receive them.

0:07:49.712,0:07:58.975
There are many people who feel and think things the way we intend them to be accepted.

0:07:58.975,0:08:02.115
I'm so happy our fans are that people who we have good relations with,

0:08:02.115,0:08:09.417
And with whom we can communicate with each other through the screen.

0:08:09.960,0:08:13.880
This video turned out to be one of me talking a lot by myself.

0:08:14.142,0:08:15.509
I hope that's okay.

0:08:17.536,0:08:19.349
I changed up my makeup a bit today.

0:08:23.283,0:08:27.613
I usually go with brown for my eyeliner and mascara,[br][br](So close to the camera...)

0:08:27.613,0:08:29.985
But this time I went with black.

0:08:31.831,0:08:34.035
I tried to go a little more bold.

0:08:34.606,0:08:35.973
(It's raining...)

0:08:36.366,0:08:38.192
Phew (taking a breath)

0:08:38.192,0:08:41.617
I'd love to hurry up and shoot outside for my YouTube videos.

0:08:47.677,0:08:51.266
This was like a really long monologue.

0:08:54.242,0:08:56.470
Would you call this a narrative video?

0:08:57.091,0:09:01.179
I often see these kinds of videos on YouTube where it's just people talking to the camera.

0:09:02.782,0:09:08.142
If there are a lot of people who found this enjoyable, I might make it into a series.

0:09:08.409,0:09:09.382
If there's a demand for it.

0:09:10.087,0:09:17.659
I didn't think YouTube would make me feel this safe.

0:09:17.659,0:09:20.129
I'm so happy about that.

0:09:20.702,0:09:25.174
I'm so glad I started this channel.

0:09:25.242,0:09:31.235
I'm sure there are many students among the people who watch my videos,

0:09:31.235,0:09:36.529
And I want for them to try out and experience all kinds of things.

0:09:36.529,0:09:38.768
I too will do my best.

0:09:40.250,0:09:41.788
Let's do our best together.

0:09:42.139,0:09:44.491
I don't know how to sum up today's video.

0:09:44.777,0:09:46.303
It was embarrassing speaking by myself.

0:09:47.463,0:09:49.878
I really hope we play a show soon.

0:09:49.878,0:09:56.380
I hope to be able to send out my own image and voice in all kinds of ways while we're not able to play shows.

0:09:56.618,0:09:59.408
Thanks so much for watching until the end!

0:09:59.408,0:10:05.180
Please like the video, subscribe to my channel, and leave a comment!

0:10:07.177,0:10:08.637
This was so embarrassing!
