Starting part 2 of my Q&A!

00:00:03.227 --> 00:00:09.085
"Q. While doing your musical activities, did you naturally pick up on things like writing songs?"

00:00:09.226 --> 00:00:11.129
Ah, okay.

00:00:11.196 --> 00:00:14.256
All of us are self-taught musicians.

00:00:14.382 --> 00:00:20.819
There's no other way but to do things yourself, even if you mess up.

00:00:21.335 --> 00:00:22.585
We still think that now.

00:00:22.585 --> 00:00:24.759
It's a repetition of that.

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?"

00:00:35.338 --> 00:00:36.647
I see.

00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:42.352
Not everyone is the type of person who's super confident in themselves.

00:00:42.490 --> 00:00:44.320
People have many complexes about themselves,

00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:48.393
And there are many times when you think you could do something better,

00:00:48.393 --> 00:00:51.170
But you can try to improve yourself,

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.

00:01:00.328 --> 00:01:05.966
I think it's about having the strength to acknowledge yourself.

00:01:06.725 --> 00:01:09.655
You might not know what to do if that lessens,

00:01:09.712 --> 00:01:16.486
But as for me, I've been a drummer for 14 years,

00:01:16.598 --> 00:01:18.857
And the more I do it,

00:01:19.243 --> 00:01:21.243
The more profound it gets.

00:01:21.243 --> 00:01:24.133
There's no endgoal at all.

00:01:25.613 --> 00:01:31.917
Because that's how I've been spending my life, I do lose confidence,

00:01:31.917 --> 00:01:39.067
And I've always played believing that there are sounds that only I can make.

00:01:39.067 --> 00:01:40.073
But...

00:01:40.073 --> 00:01:45.303
I absolutely think each and every person has their own kind of charm.

00:01:45.303 --> 00:01:49.793
Don't hate or blame yourself.

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?"

00:01:56.352 --> 00:01:59.663
I don't drink at home at all.

00:01:59.900 --> 00:02:01.897
Occasionally,

00:02:02.201 --> 00:02:05.701
When we have after-parties or when we go out to eat,

00:02:05.701 --> 00:02:11.581
I'll have one umeshu soda,

00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:13.407
But I'm weak with alcohol.

00:02:13.407 --> 00:02:16.407
Well, rather than weak, I'm not good with it.

00:02:16.698 --> 00:02:19.321
So yeah, I don't [have an evening drink].

00:02:19.966 --> 00:02:23.966
"Q. I'd like to do band activities in Japan. Can you give me any advice?"

00:02:25.254 --> 00:02:27.875
This is from someone in South Korea.

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.

00:02:35.164 --> 00:02:37.484
At this point in time,

00:02:37.634 --> 00:02:41.004
I think it's pretty difficult to go between countries.

00:02:41.539 --> 00:02:50.047
We go overseas every year to play shows, which is important for us,

00:02:52.128 --> 00:02:55.381
And instead of creating a different side to us shown only to overseas audiences,

00:02:55.381 --> 00:03:04.151
We let people overseas see what we've completed in Japan. That's our stance.

00:03:04.304 --> 00:03:12.136
It may be better to first solidify your style in your home country.

00:03:12.657 --> 00:03:13.917
Good luck.

00:03:14.109 --> 00:03:15.078
Next one.

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?"

00:03:21.253 --> 00:03:28.822
People fall in love someone because of the person they are, not because of their gender,

00:03:28.822 --> 00:03:30.372
No matter what kind of love it is.

00:03:30.483 --> 00:03:33.576
First try talking to them and ask for their contact info,

00:03:33.576 --> 00:03:35.607
Make plans to go out to eat,

00:03:35.810 --> 00:03:38.220
Find common topics,

00:03:38.271 --> 00:03:41.331
And shorten the distance little by little.

00:03:41.939 --> 00:03:45.553
I think it's the same as with anyone else.

00:03:45.662 --> 00:03:48.898
I hope it works out!

00:03:49.296 --> 00:03:53.816
"Q. What should I do when someone forces their sense of values onto me?"

00:03:55.113 --> 00:03:57.634
When your ways of thinking differ?

00:03:58.754 --> 00:03:59.574
Well...

00:03:59.574 --> 00:04:02.981
Make sure to listen to what that person's saying,

00:04:02.981 --> 00:04:05.631
And be like, "This is what I think."

00:04:05.631 --> 00:04:09.811
Perhaps it's better to mention how you have a different way of thinking.

00:04:10.123 --> 00:04:13.613
Even if the other person denies your opinion, don't deny theirs.

00:04:13.833 --> 00:04:16.063
Be like, "I see,"

00:04:16.063 --> 00:04:20.243
And make sure to state your own opinions too.

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."

00:04:29.109 --> 00:04:33.109
A lot of men are removing their body hair these days.

00:04:33.377 --> 00:04:36.659
If it's something you yourself want to do, then go ahead.

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.

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."

00:04:50.200 --> 00:04:52.492
This is from someone in France.

00:04:52.801 --> 00:04:55.684
That makes me happy. A bakery? How nice.

00:04:55.818 --> 00:04:57.129
That's lovely.

00:04:58.062 --> 00:05:00.150
What kind of cake do I like?

00:05:01.502 --> 00:05:04.782
I often choose chocolate cakes.

00:05:04.782 --> 00:05:07.178
I've really liked them since I was a kid.

00:05:07.485 --> 00:05:11.912
I also like fruit tarts.

00:05:12.384 --> 00:05:19.718
"Q. SCANDAL gives me energy every day. RINA, what is most important for you when playing a concert?"

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:21.810
That makes me happy. Thank you!

00:05:21.995 --> 00:05:25.225
I wonder... Maybe going all out!

00:05:25.711 --> 00:05:31.187
Expressing myself using my entire being.

00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:32.490
Perhaps.

00:05:32.868 --> 00:05:38.488
"Q. I'm 20 years old and have never had a boyfriend. I'm worried about my prospects in the future too."

00:05:38.980 --> 00:05:41.480
I think that's completely fine.

00:05:41.617 --> 00:05:45.012
One will appear at some point,

00:05:46.241 --> 00:05:49.951
And since it's never too late to fall in love,

00:05:50.154 --> 00:05:53.284
Don't feel rushed. It's completely fine.

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?"

00:06:01.994 --> 00:06:06.563
I was once the type to be driven by regret,

00:06:06.593 --> 00:06:10.883
But I'm not anymore. I get hurt very easily.

00:06:11.448 --> 00:06:13.568
I'm pretty weak in that respect.

00:06:13.568 --> 00:06:15.364
I want to be praised.

00:06:15.766 --> 00:06:19.312
But it's normal to want to work hard after being told that it's okay.

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,

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.

00:06:32.121 --> 00:06:33.597
Please praise me.

00:06:33.647 --> 00:06:38.277
"Q. Did you have any worries about being a band when you first started?"

00:06:39.922 --> 00:06:42.622
None at all.

00:06:42.710 --> 00:06:45.670
We didn't have time to worry.

00:06:45.827 --> 00:06:47.836
It really was sink or swim.

00:06:48.157 --> 00:06:50.217
We weren't level-headed about things,

00:06:50.478 --> 00:06:54.035
And I'm glad for that now.

00:06:54.489 --> 00:06:59.921
It's important to take the plunge, and I still think so.

00:06:59.982 --> 00:07:04.132
"Q. Is it okay to consider getting remarried even though I have a son?"

00:07:04.404 --> 00:07:05.617
I see.

00:07:07.721 --> 00:07:12.951
Although you have a son, you also have your own life to live,

00:07:13.626 --> 00:07:18.226
So I think it's very important to value your own feelings.

00:07:18.533 --> 00:07:23.076
A mother's happiness means happiness for the child as well.

00:07:23.339 --> 00:07:30.869
I think it's necessary to think about whether or not you can stay in a good relationship for a long time,

00:07:30.931 --> 00:07:38.551
But it's not necessary for you to cut back on your life while taking care of your children,

00:07:38.551 --> 00:07:41.323
So think hard about it.

00:07:41.395 --> 00:07:44.663
I think it's fine [to get remarried].

00:07:45.509 --> 00:07:49.509
"Q. Has anything changed in your life after starting your YouTube channel?"

00:07:50.910 --> 00:07:51.860
I wonder.

00:07:52.057 --> 00:07:56.057
Like, I always have a camera with me to record videos now,

00:07:56.364 --> 00:08:01.534
And before I go to sleep, I now wonder what videos I should make next.

00:08:01.776 --> 00:08:06.337
Also, I read comments and like them.

00:08:06.337 --> 00:08:08.903
They make me go, "Ah, these opinions exist too."

00:08:09.163 --> 00:08:16.979
I really think a new form of communication [with our fans] has been established for the first time by talking about things not related to music.

00:08:17.245 --> 00:08:20.527
This exchange of conversation is so much fun.

00:08:21.776 --> 00:08:25.248
"Q. What should I give my girlfriend as my first birthday present to her?"

00:08:25.511 --> 00:08:29.013
I wonder. Given the season, how about a scarf?

00:08:30.774 --> 00:08:38.150
"Q. I want to teach my kindergartener how to play an instrument. Which should they be taught: guitar or drums?"

00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:39.667
Ah.

00:08:40.097 --> 00:08:45.874
Is your child saying they want to play an instrument?

00:08:46.122 --> 00:08:50.643
If they don't want to do it, that would make it very difficult for them to enjoy playing it,

00:08:50.643 --> 00:08:54.943
Or improve in their playing.

00:08:55.150 --> 00:08:59.410
If they don't like it but have to practice every week,

00:08:59.902 --> 00:09:06.491
The best parts about having a child who plays an instrument will be gone.

00:09:06.869 --> 00:09:10.369
I wonder if they want to have their kid like music.

00:09:10.462 --> 00:09:13.336
Playing music is a good thing,

00:09:13.772 --> 00:09:17.882
And it'd be great if they took an interest in it.

00:09:17.987 --> 00:09:20.893
Both guitar and drums are good.

00:09:21.752 --> 00:09:22.892
All right.

00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:30.229
So I've finished reading all of the questions I picked out.

00:09:31.219 --> 00:09:35.219
Wow, I've been talking for more than an hour.

(Thank you so much for all of your questions☺)

00:09:35.358 --> 00:09:36.508
That was so long.

00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:41.953
That was a lot of content, but I hope you enjoyed it.

00:09:42.253 --> 00:09:50.823

See you in my next video.

00:10:13.105 --> 00:10:14.498
