Dialogue: 0,0:00:02.51,0:00:10.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For today's video, I received a DM on Instagram that piqued my interest a bit,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.33,0:00:14.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I will talking a little about that.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.30,0:00:16.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First, I'll read the DM.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.89,0:00:22.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Hello! I'm a 21-year-old woman who's been a SCANDAL fan since middle school.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.95,0:00:24.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I got your zine in the mail!
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.03,0:00:28.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't know if this DM will reach you,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.17,0:00:33.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I am sending this in hopes that my feelings can be of some help to you, RINA-chan.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.88,0:00:36.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I attend a women's university
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.56,0:00:39.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And am writing a graduation thesis with the theme,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.27,0:00:41.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Gender from the viewpoint of an all-girl band."
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.87,0:00:44.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I originally wasn't really interested in gender and the like,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.71,0:00:50.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I'm attending a women's university because I had a connection there.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.16,0:00:58.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Me being very interested in gender-related issues is in large due to the various media you continue to send out.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.88,0:01:03.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you very much for creating my four-year topic.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.50,0:01:11.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The message your zine gives is not that men and women are equal (I hear a lot of this in my lectures).
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.50,0:01:18.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Your desire to proudly live your life as a woman is conveyed,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.44,0:01:24.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it feels like the discomfort I've been feeling while attending lectures has disappeared.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.70,0:01:29.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I will be incorporating these feelings and assertions into my paper.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.73,0:01:34.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm curious as how you, RINA-chan, became interested in gender-related issues,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.34,0:01:37.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I'd be happy if you talked about that on YouTube or the like.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.94,0:01:43.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I also feel that a lot of gender-related info comes from you,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.45,0:01:46.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I'd like to hear if the members talk to each other about things like this,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.19,0:01:51.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or if you put those talks into your music.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.41,0:01:55.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Please tell us about your gender-related stories.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.88,0:01:58.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also, I'd like for it to reach many women.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.90,0:02:02.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(I'm really looking forward to the DAISY Project)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.81,0:02:05.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's the DM I got.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.59,0:02:06.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you so much.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.98,0:02:09.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This was mentioned,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.99,0:02:16.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I made a zine with the theme of "feminism" and "how women work."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.32,0:02:18.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's already sold out,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.97,0:02:22.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I thank everyone who picked up a copy.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.44,0:02:24.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That made me happy.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.20,0:02:26.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I got a lot of reactions,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.10,0:02:29.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, um...
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.52,0:02:32.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Getting back on topic,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.65,0:02:40.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I became interested in gender-related issues due to two big reasons.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.47,0:02:44.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First, the home environment in which I grew up,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.07,0:02:51.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what I felt as I was watching my mom navigate it all.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.77,0:02:57.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also, what I felt as I've been in the band.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.54,0:03:01.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As we delved further into things,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.20,0:03:06.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think I became more interested in gender-related stuff.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.12,0:03:10.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,During the time I've been in an all-girl band,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.47,0:03:13.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Um...
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.38,0:03:21.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I tried recalling if I had thought about gender and feminism,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.96,0:03:24.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I will give a few simple examples.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.08,0:03:26.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is the first one.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.23,0:03:32.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think this happened about five to six years ago.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.40,0:03:34.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When being interviewed,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.64,0:03:37.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This was said to us as a compliment:
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.13,0:03:41.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"You're not an 'all-girl band'—you're a 'band' band."
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.78,0:03:45.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I thought there was some kind of catch to it,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.08,0:03:51.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or rather, I was kind of like, "What?"
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.23,0:03:55.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We're a band to begin with,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.04,0:04:03.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I don't think that all-girl bands are below ones with guys in them,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.03,0:04:08.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it's like they were saying we ranked up.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.24,0:04:12.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I thought, "Huh?"
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.65,0:04:17.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I didn't really think too much about it then.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.30,0:04:21.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course it wasn't something I got angry with,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.44,0:04:26.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it was something that stuck with me.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.67,0:04:29.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now for the second example.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.57,0:04:33.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A while ago there were very few all-girl bands compared to now,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.54,0:04:37.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And even when we'd appear at events or festivals,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.27,0:04:41.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We were constantly the only all-girl band, or the only female artist there.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.87,0:04:48.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When there are 3-4 or more performers,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.30,0:04:53.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Everyone's like, "Let's all make this event exciting!"
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.92,0:05:01.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So a lot of the time the bands mention each other during their MCs.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.32,0:05:06.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When that happens and we're being talked about,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.53,0:05:11.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"SCANDAL's dressing room smelled great,"
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.44,0:05:15.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"When there are four girls, it really is great that there's so much beauty,"
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.87,0:05:20.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Are some of the things that are often said.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.81,0:05:26.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We know that they don't mean any offense,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.32,0:05:28.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But how can I put it...
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.48,0:05:35.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The way things like "It gets brighter when SCANDAL's here,"
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.92,0:05:39.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And "When there are four girls, it really is great that there's so much beauty," are said,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.63,0:05:43.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They're similar but also a little different.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.55,0:05:45.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How can I put it?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.87,0:05:48.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For those events and festivals,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.34,0:05:55.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We go out on stage with the same feelings as the other bands.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.70,0:05:58.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We're not just eye candy.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.47,0:06:02.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There was a bit of a catch to those things [said about us].
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.10,0:06:05.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Another thing that happens a lot
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.18,0:06:11.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Occurs during taped events or live events for TV.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.54,0:06:16.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When things are being transitioned and the MC comes out,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.56,0:06:19.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They talk with the artist, and then the next performance happens.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.67,0:06:21.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That happens often.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.61,0:06:26.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,During a time when we finished our set and had the talk portion afterwards,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.58,0:06:28.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"You were the only female artist,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:28.66,0:06:33.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But you were energetic enough to not lose out to guy bands,"
Dialogue: 0,0:06:33.94,0:06:41.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Is how the female MC summed it up
Dialogue: 0,0:06:42.00,0:06:46.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Unlike the previous story,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:46.48,0:06:50.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I didn't get an unpleasant feeling from it,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:50.24,0:06:55.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But music is not about battling to begin with.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:56.31,0:06:59.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We're not doing this in order to win against someone.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:00.11,0:07:04.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Each band has their own appeal,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.54,0:07:11.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I thought that that comparison wasn't something to be talking about in the first place.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:11.58,0:07:14.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I just gave three examples.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:14.90,0:07:21.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've felt all kinds of things as we've continued to be an all-girl band.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:21.60,0:07:26.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've been playing in this band since I was a middle schooler,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:27.34,0:07:31.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And as I've grown older,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:31.70,0:07:35.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've gained all sorts of knowledge and experience.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:35.56,0:07:41.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I started to think that the feeling of strangeness I've had
Dialogue: 0,0:07:41.78,0:07:47.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Has a lot to do with feminism.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:49.04,0:07:55.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Knowing that what I've felt has a proper name to it,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:56.19,0:08:01.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And knowing that there are many people worldwide turning that into actions,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:01.67,0:08:06.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It feels like this fuzziness has cleared up a bit,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:06.30,0:08:09.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And my heart feels a little lighter.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:09.96,0:08:11.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:12.20,0:08:17.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I thought it was very important to send forth what I've realized.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:18.21,0:08:23.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Information can lighten people's hearts.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:24.09,0:08:28.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The same is true of the stories I told earlier.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:28.75,0:08:32.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,No one probably meant anything bad.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:32.88,0:08:35.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I truly understand that.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:35.12,0:08:44.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's better to update old ways of thinking as you live your ordinary daily lives,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:44.44,0:08:52.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I feel that this underlying thing is becoming more and more obsolete in this era.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:52.54,0:08:57.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It'd be great if those who realize that will pass things on,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:57.93,0:09:05.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And more and more people will be like, "Ah, that's right," and change themselves.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:06.37,0:09:14.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think it's important to raise issues in a way that everyone can enjoy.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:15.20,0:09:21.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not that I've been feeling uncomfortable or angry about the causes.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:21.30,0:09:24.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I just hope that the causes can be correctly identified,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:24.85,0:09:29.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that women lift up other women.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:29.93,0:09:32.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For men,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:32.84,0:09:37.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think there's a pressure that comes from the idea that men always have to be masculine and need to look good,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:37.22,0:09:43.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And also that they should be a man that supports their spouse financially,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:43.53,0:09:54.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For which they need to have a higher educational background.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:54.60,0:09:59.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In that sense, it can be hard to live your life because you're a man.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:01.37,0:10:05.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However, those "rules" don't actually exist,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:06.38,0:10:11.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I really wish that we could create a society where everyone can live comfortably
Dialogue: 0,0:10:11.25,0:10:17.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,By realizing that's something we cannot understand unless we think about it rationally.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:17.88,0:10:20.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This was also in the DM I received,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:20.98,0:10:23.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And my way of thinking,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:23.54,0:10:32.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not about living your life whether you're a man or woman, or if you're LGBTQ.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:32.81,0:10:37.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It'd be great if we can have pride in ourselves
Dialogue: 0,0:10:37.32,0:10:39.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,While making sure to respect genders
Dialogue: 0,0:10:39.67,0:10:46.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And ways of thinking that fit each of us well.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:48.50,0:10:52.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't think it's that simple for everyone,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:53.37,0:11:05.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I think it's awesome when you find a way of living that suits you.
