1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,991 Translation & Subtitles: thoseguiltyeyes | scandal-heaven.com Starting part 2 of my Q&A! 2 00:00:03,227 --> 00:00:09,085 "Q. While doing your musical activities, did you naturally pick up on things like writing songs?" 3 00:00:09,226 --> 00:00:11,129 Ah, okay. 4 00:00:11,196 --> 00:00:14,256 All of us are self-taught musicians. 5 00:00:14,382 --> 00:00:20,819 There's no other way but to do things yourself, even if you mess up. 6 00:00:21,335 --> 00:00:22,585 We still think that now. 7 00:00:22,585 --> 00:00:24,759 It's a repetition of that. 8 00:00:25,295 --> 00:00:32,224 "Q. I have no self-confidence and have gotten pessimistic. How can I have confidence in myself?" 9 00:00:35,338 --> 00:00:36,647 I see. 10 00:00:37,380 --> 00:00:42,352 Not everyone is the type of person who's super confident in themselves. 11 00:00:42,490 --> 00:00:44,320 People have many complexes about themselves, 12 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,393 And there are many times when you think you could do something better, 13 00:00:48,393 --> 00:00:51,170 But you can try to improve yourself, 14 00:00:51,170 --> 00:00:59,813 Or try to find out why people say something's good when you yourself don't think it is. 15 00:01:00,328 --> 00:01:05,966 I think it's about having the strength to acknowledge yourself. 16 00:01:06,725 --> 00:01:09,655 You might not know what to do if that lessens, 17 00:01:09,712 --> 00:01:16,486 But as for me, I've been a drummer for 14 years, 18 00:01:16,598 --> 00:01:18,857 And the more I do it, 19 00:01:19,243 --> 00:01:21,243 The more profound it gets. 20 00:01:21,243 --> 00:01:24,133 There's no endgoal at all. 21 00:01:25,613 --> 00:01:31,917 Because that's how I've been spending my life, I do lose confidence, 22 00:01:31,917 --> 00:01:39,067 And I've always played believing that there are sounds that only I can make. 23 00:01:39,067 --> 00:01:40,073 But... 24 00:01:40,073 --> 00:01:45,303 I absolutely think each and every person has their own kind of charm. 25 00:01:45,303 --> 00:01:49,793 Don't hate or blame yourself. 26 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,690 "Q. I've been obsessed with Honshibori Chu-Hi [alcoholic drinks] recently. RINA, do you have evening drinks at home?" 27 00:01:56,352 --> 00:01:59,663 I don't drink at home at all. 28 00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:01,897 Occasionally, 29 00:02:02,201 --> 00:02:05,701 When we have after-parties or when we go out to eat, 30 00:02:05,701 --> 00:02:11,581 I'll have one umeshu soda, 31 00:02:11,759 --> 00:02:13,407 But I'm weak with alcohol. 32 00:02:13,407 --> 00:02:16,407 Well, rather than weak, I'm not good with it. 33 00:02:16,698 --> 00:02:19,321 So yeah, I don't [have an evening drink]. 34 00:02:19,966 --> 00:02:23,966 "Q. I'd like to do band activities in Japan. Can you give me any advice?" 35 00:02:25,254 --> 00:02:27,875 This is from someone in South Korea. 36 00:02:28,635 --> 00:02:34,041 I see. So they formed a band in Korea and they want to do activities in Japan. 37 00:02:35,164 --> 00:02:37,484 At this point in time, 38 00:02:37,634 --> 00:02:41,004 I think it's pretty difficult to go between countries. 39 00:02:41,539 --> 00:02:50,047 We go overseas every year to play shows, which is important for us, 40 00:02:52,128 --> 00:02:55,381 And instead of creating a different side to us shown only to overseas audiences, 41 00:02:55,381 --> 00:03:04,151 We let people overseas see what we've completed in Japan. That's our stance. 42 00:03:04,304 --> 00:03:12,136 It may be better to first solidify your style in your home country. 43 00:03:12,657 --> 00:03:13,917 Good luck. 44 00:03:14,109 --> 00:03:15,078 Next one. 45 00:03:15,467 --> 00:03:20,107 "Q. I've fallen for someone of the same sex for the first time. What should I do?" 46 00:03:21,253 --> 00:03:28,822 People fall in love someone because of the person they are, not because of their gender, 47 00:03:28,822 --> 00:03:30,372 No matter what kind of love it is. 48 00:03:30,483 --> 00:03:33,576 First try talking to them and ask for their contact info, 49 00:03:33,576 --> 00:03:35,607 Make plans to go out to eat, 50 00:03:35,810 --> 00:03:38,220 Find common topics, 51 00:03:38,271 --> 00:03:41,331 And shorten the distance little by little. 52 00:03:41,939 --> 00:03:45,553 I think it's the same as with anyone else. 53 00:03:45,662 --> 00:03:48,898 I hope it works out! 54 00:03:49,296 --> 00:03:53,816 "Q. What should I do when someone forces their sense of values onto me?" 55 00:03:55,113 --> 00:03:57,634 When your ways of thinking differ? 56 00:03:58,754 --> 00:03:59,574 Well... 57 00:03:59,574 --> 00:04:02,981 Make sure to listen to what that person's saying, 58 00:04:02,981 --> 00:04:05,631 And be like, "This is what I think." 59 00:04:05,631 --> 00:04:09,811 Perhaps it's better to mention how you have a different way of thinking. 60 00:04:10,123 --> 00:04:13,613 Even if the other person denies your opinion, don't deny theirs. 61 00:04:13,833 --> 00:04:16,063 Be like, "I see," 62 00:04:16,063 --> 00:04:20,243 And make sure to state your own opinions too. 63 00:04:20,623 --> 00:04:28,146 "Q. I've had a complex about my body hair for a long time. I'm wondering if men should remove their body hair as well." 64 00:04:29,109 --> 00:04:33,109 A lot of men are removing their body hair these days. 65 00:04:33,377 --> 00:04:36,659 If it's something you yourself want to do, then go ahead. 66 00:04:36,869 --> 00:04:42,548 If it'll help you feel more self-confident, I think it's better if you do it. 67 00:04:43,379 --> 00:04:50,095 "Q. Do you like cake? I work at a bakery and want to make your favorite cake." 68 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,492 This is from someone in France. 69 00:04:52,801 --> 00:04:55,684 That makes me happy. A bakery? How nice. 70 00:04:55,818 --> 00:04:57,129 That's lovely. 71 00:04:58,062 --> 00:05:00,150 What kind of cake do I like? 72 00:05:01,502 --> 00:05:04,782 I often choose chocolate cakes. 73 00:05:04,782 --> 00:05:07,178 I've really liked them since I was a kid. 74 00:05:07,485 --> 00:05:11,912 I also like fruit tarts. 75 00:05:12,384 --> 00:05:19,718 "Q.

I'm 20 years old and have never had a boyfriend. I'm worried about my prospects in the future too." 81 00:05:38,980 --> 00:05:41,480 I think that's completely fine. 82 00:05:41,617 --> 00:05:45,012 One will appear at some point, 83 00:05:46,241 --> 00:05:49,951 And since it's never too late to fall in love, 84 00:05:50,154 --> 00:05:53,284 Don't feel rushed. It's completely fine. 85 00:05:54,041 --> 00:06:00,289 "Q. RINA, are you the type of person who thrives on praise? Or are you the type that's driven by regret?" 86 00:06:01,994 --> 00:06:06,563 I was once the type to be driven by regret, 87 00:06:06,593 --> 00:06:10,883 But I'm not anymore. I get hurt very easily. 88 00:06:11,448 --> 00:06:13,568 I'm pretty weak in that respect. 89 00:06:13,568 --> 00:06:15,364 I want to be praised. 90 00:06:15,766 --> 00:06:19,312 But it's normal to want to work hard after being told that it's okay. 91 00:06:20,050 --> 00:06:26,094 Well, I'm grateful when someone calmly points out that something could be better if done in a certain way, 92 00:06:26,886 --> 00:06:32,041 But I started to think that maybe I'm not the type that grows when I'm told something I don't like. 93 00:06:32,121 --> 00:06:33,597 Please praise me. 94 00:06:33,647 --> 00:06:38,277 "Q.

What should I give my girlfriend as my first birthday present to her?" 119 00:08:25,511 --> 00:08:29,013 I wonder. Given the season, how about a scarf? 120 00:08:30,774 --> 00:08:38,150 "Q.
