Translation & Subtitles: thoseguiltyeyes | scandal-heaven.com[br][br]It's so dark!
0:00:02.523,0:00:06.362
Translation & Subtitles: thoseguiltyeyes | scandal-heaven.com[br][br]It's really dark. Is this going to work?
0:00:06.362,0:00:09.280
-We just went out to eat for the first time in forever.[br]-Yeah.
0:00:09.838,0:00:12.226
After we finished work,
0:00:12.267,0:00:15.780
We went to HARU's place first.
0:00:18.303,0:00:21.290
We fed her dog Lady-chan.
0:00:21.414,0:00:25.432
This was my first time going to HARU's place.
0:00:25.648,0:00:31.193
I mean, this was my first time going to a place HARU has lived at
0:00:32.090,0:00:37.034
Since she was living alone in a studio apartment in Osaka.
0:00:37.384,0:00:39.834
It had been 12 years.
0:00:40.134,0:00:42.295
Wait, wasn't it even before that?
0:00:43.642,0:00:45.797
13 years?
0:00:45.797,0:00:48.019
Maybe about 14 years?
0:00:49.068,0:00:51.104
That's crazy.
0:00:51.104,0:00:54.150
We're always together anyway.
0:00:54.272,0:00:57.580
Time passes by way too fast.
0:00:59.629,0:01:01.236
Seriously,
0:01:01.236,0:01:03.894
From the time I was a kid until the time I became an adult,
0:01:03.894,0:01:06.864
There hasn't been a moment when we haven't been together.
0:01:07.704,0:01:09.923
Isn't that crazy?
0:01:11.507,0:01:14.058
I'm surprised we've been able to stay together for so long.
0:01:14.058,0:01:16.796
Meeting the members,
0:01:16.796,0:01:19.118
Like, no matter how many more years I have ahead of me,
0:01:19.153,0:01:23.519
That is my most precious treasure in life, seriously.
0:01:23.519,0:01:26.320
I really do think that.
0:01:26.437,0:01:28.776
That's so heavy.
0:01:30.348,0:01:35.255
I mean, it just so happened that we became a band.
0:01:35.455,0:01:37.113
Like, what are the chances of that?
0:01:37.723,0:01:41.324
I wonder why we all attended a dance school.
0:01:41.438,0:01:44.726
Eh, didn't you want to make your debut as a dancer?
0:01:46.343,0:01:47.609
Yeah, that was the case.
0:01:47.609,0:01:50.662
At first, though, the reason why you started liking music
0:01:50.662,0:01:53.313
Is because of dance music.
0:01:53.478,0:01:54.991
-Isn't that weird?[br]-Yeah.
0:01:56.283,0:02:00.761
You might have thought that being in a band was odd.
0:02:01.414,0:02:05.005
Maybe that's why I started learning about it.
0:02:05.005,0:02:07.071
This kind of life.
0:02:08.271,0:02:10.301
You're also getting deep!
0:02:11.634,0:02:15.160
We're a band that has a special story,
0:02:15.160,0:02:17.094
And...
0:02:18.774,0:02:21.827
We're fine with it all,
0:02:21.907,0:02:29.151
-So we hope to have fun conveying (our roots and personalities) to lots of people.[br]-That's true.
0:02:29.800,0:02:33.361
I think there are a lot of people who know about all that.
0:02:33.633,0:02:36.888
Depending on when you learn about us,
0:02:36.888,0:02:39.995
We're always in a different mode,
0:02:39.995,0:02:43.182
So I think each person has their own image of us.
0:02:43.240,0:02:47.754
But we've been doing this for 14 years,
0:02:47.915,0:02:56.490
And I think it'd be best if we could convey that this is who we are right now.
0:02:56.490,0:03:07.626
Recently, we've been talking a lot about what the best way would be to let people know who we currently are.
0:03:08.894,0:03:13.821
It's because I think we're really cool right now!
0:03:15.135,0:03:17.365
I'm speaking for myself,
0:03:17.415,0:03:20.898
-And our music too.[br]-This truly is the best we've ever been.
0:03:20.898,0:03:23.791
-We're not denying who we used to be.[br]-No, we're not.
0:03:24.104,0:03:29.084
We've been fighting against those feelings every day lately.
0:03:29.857,0:03:34.214
We never do anything but talk about the band
0:03:34.214,0:03:37.291
I mean, the only thing we talk about is the band.
0:03:37.450,0:03:39.755
Like today,
0:03:39.755,0:03:43.011
We started rehearsals at 1 pm
0:03:43.134,0:03:45.880
And then had a meeting.
0:03:45.880,0:03:47.788
So, like...
0:03:47.972,0:03:50.676
How many hours do we talk about the band?
0:03:51.882,0:03:54.938
Right?
0:03:56.336,0:04:00.989
You know, I recently started up the DAISY PROJECT,
0:04:01.318,0:04:09.138
And on YouTube I intentionally increased the time I actively talk about things other than music.
0:04:09.138,0:04:12.341
By talking about things unrelated [to music],
0:04:12.446,0:04:17.960
It naturally conveys my personality, right?
0:04:18.716,0:04:22.960
Isn't it because you've aaalways been writing blogs?
0:04:23.235,0:04:26.698
I've written them since before our indie label debut.
0:04:26.813,0:04:34.047
Ever since we formed, RINA has always written blogs.
0:04:34.156,0:04:38.250
If you think about how she turned that into videos,
0:04:38.381,0:04:43.361
It's not like it was that big of a change.
0:04:43.606,0:04:46.131
The form is just different.
0:04:46.835,0:04:50.150
Also,
0:04:50.150,0:04:53.536
Because I'm now an adult,
0:04:53.536,0:05:00.517
The process of being in a band while growing up increased the things I want to do,
0:05:00.517,0:05:02.378
And changed the way I think.
0:05:02.532,0:05:04.077
That's normal to go through as a human being.
0:05:04.249,0:05:05.248
Yeah.
0:05:05.439,0:05:14.380
It feels a little presumptuous to say that you want to properly show that, and to have people understand that,
0:05:14.380,0:05:15.907
But that does happen.
0:05:16.806,0:05:20.420
But it's the same for everyone.
0:05:20.670,0:05:22.180
Yeah.
0:05:22.403,0:05:25.771
It's the same for those who see that.
0:05:25.771,0:05:29.262
The way you think changes alongside your age.
0:05:29.262,0:05:32.813
Your situation changes.
0:05:32.955,0:05:35.495
-It's the same for us.[br]-Yeah.
0:05:35.495,0:05:46.295
So, because we'll have easy-to-understand interviews in magazines and such,
0:05:46.436,0:05:53.346
What we think at the time will remain as an article,
0:05:53.346,0:05:59.363
So there will probably always be people who are like, "But you said this at this time."
0:05:59.467,0:06:03.060
They'll go, "I'm a person who thinks like this,"
0:06:03.060,0:06:08.050
And will remain that way for several years.
0:06:08.209,0:06:13.753
But since they are human beings, they'll then start changing,
0:06:13.753,0:06:19.613
And it's a given that they'll be like, "This is what I think now,"
0:06:19.613,0:06:22.371
A while ago,
0:06:22.371,0:06:24.583
In regards to cooking...
0:06:27.441,0:06:30.083
It's not that I didn't like it,
0:06:30.705,0:06:34.177
But I thought cooking was a hassle.
0:06:34.738,0:06:37.772
That was maybe 10 years ago?
0:06:39.900,0:06:44.353
10 years ago, when I barely started living on my own,
0:06:44.768,0:06:49.888
Was when I would say I'm not that good at cooking.
0:06:51.770,0:06:55.107
I'm sure there are people who will always have that impression of me.
0:06:55.107,0:06:57.645
They'll mention it to you?
0:06:58.875,0:07:02.198
When we were on lockdown,
0:07:02.536,0:07:07.515
If I made food and posted it on social media,
0:07:07.685,0:07:12.959
People would reply with things like, "You can cook after all."
0:07:13.252,0:07:15.520
I would think, "Well, of course I can."
0:07:15.671,0:07:19.117
You wouldn't be alive if you couldn't!
0:07:19.117,0:07:25.869
I think we all have times when we're like, "Of course I can do that."
0:07:26.769,0:07:36.567
-There are times when you just want to be seen as a regular adult woman.[br]-Yeah.
0:07:36.567,0:07:40.778
We're both musicians and human beings~
0:07:41.417,0:07:45.630
We were young when we had our major label debut,
0:07:45.762,0:07:50.489
And I know that gave off the impression we were childish.
0:07:50.668,0:07:55.703
Today, HARU let me know for the first time that she watches my YouTube videos.
0:07:55.775,0:07:59.420
That made me so happy!
0:08:01.566,0:08:07.119
I LINE'd her in the middle of night, asking her if she'd be okay with filming today.
0:08:07.119,0:08:14.434
All I do is film on my days off, edit the footage myself, and then upload it,
0:08:14.667,0:08:16.886
So on days off...
0:08:17.746,0:08:21.991
It's really hard for me to ask the members if it's okay to film.
0:08:22.437,0:08:26.437
I feel kind of bad asking on our days off.
0:08:28.543,0:08:31.405
If you ask us, we'll adjust our schedules, you know.
0:08:31.686,0:08:34.332
I really want to be considerate to you guys!
0:08:34.371,0:08:37.366
Nah, like...
0:08:37.541,0:08:42.345
When you ask, "Are you free after the meeting tomorrow?"
0:08:42.345,0:08:45.588
It makes me go, "Did something happen?"
0:08:45.807,0:08:51.390
I can really tell that you're nervous about something.
0:08:53.037,0:08:55.695
Like, "Are you in some sort of trouble?"
0:08:55.742,0:09:00.894
I'm still pretty nervous to invite you guys out.
0:09:00.894,0:09:02.446
Or rather, there are many times when I try to be considerate.
0:09:02.771,0:09:06.492
There totally are times when we just go with the flow and go out to eat and stuff.
0:09:07.403,0:09:11.529
-We don't often go, "Are you free tomorrow?"[br]-We don't.
0:09:11.529,0:09:15.363
So, getting to chat and have a meal together,
0:09:15.485,0:09:19.898
And getting to go to her place for the first time made me happy.
0:09:20.709,0:09:23.394
I also got to see her dog Lady-chan.
0:09:23.394,0:09:25.990
-She remembered me, right? I think so.[br]-Yeah.
0:09:25.990,0:09:27.183
That made me happy.
0:09:27.539,0:09:31.132
She's gotten so big!
0:09:31.383,0:09:34.094
Yeah. She's pretty big.
0:09:34.257,0:09:39.214
She's the biggest size for a minature dachshund.
0:09:40.374,0:09:42.427
She's a big size then～
0:09:42.427,0:09:45.006
Yeah, she is. Well,
0:09:45.006,0:09:47.713
She's not overweight.
0:09:47.713,0:09:49.268
-She's just a big size?[br]-Yeah.
0:09:49.466,0:09:54.829
I- gotta hand it to you. You always film by yourself, don't you?[br]-Yeah, I always do.
0:09:55.251,0:09:57.510
-It's not a livestream, right?[br]-Right.
0:09:57.510,0:10:00.512
-So it's not like any comments are going by.[br]-Yeah.
0:10:00.512,0:10:04.525
But it's a good way to train. We don't have any concerts right now,
0:10:04.525,0:10:06.971
So we also don't have MCs to do.
0:10:07.046,0:10:09.820
This is speaking practice for me.
0:10:09.911,0:10:10.788
That's true.
0:10:10.961,0:10:17.386
We have a podcast right now called "Catch up,"
0:10:17.386,0:10:22.315
So we still talk about what's going on.
0:10:22.926,0:10:27.590
-It's also become a pretty big output for us.[br]-Yeah.
0:10:27.643,0:10:32.587
-It's also a place where we talk about all sorts of thoughts we have.[br]-Yeah.
0:10:32.587,0:10:37.912
That's exactly why it truly conveys our personalities.
0:10:37.912,0:10:41.399
It'll make you realize why we play the music we do.
0:10:41.646,0:10:44.537
The more we delve into things, the more fun it gets.
0:10:44.537,0:10:46.820
-Band-wise.[br]-Yeah.
0:10:47.405,0:10:52.571
Ah, it feels weird filming a YouTube video with HARU.
0:10:52.571,0:10:54.582
But it makes me happy.
0:10:54.875,0:10:57.398
-I thought, "I finally get to appear."[br]-No way!
0:10:57.398,0:11:02.081
I knew that the other members made small appearances,
0:11:02.202,0:11:05.078
So it made me go, "It's finally my turn."
0:11:05.078,0:11:08.110
I wish you had told me sooner!
0:11:08.110,0:11:09.278
Like,
0:11:09.278,0:11:17.131
The members are all extremely considerate, right?
0:11:17.204,0:11:20.903
Why didn't you tell me something like, "Let's film together"?
0:11:20.903,0:11:24.451
-I mean, that's something that you shouldn't show on camera![br]-What are you talking about?!
0:11:26.619,0:11:30.496
This is a place where I have complete freedom!
0:11:30.568,0:11:32.309
It's a playground.
0:11:33.503,0:11:35.686
But it's your own place!
0:11:36.309,0:11:37.230
Nah, nah.
0:11:38.578,0:11:42.257
I didn't think that the members would want to appear in my videos,
0:11:42.480,0:11:45.727
And I felt guilty asking you guys.
0:11:46.868,0:11:49.732
That was an incident of me caring too much.
0:11:50.408,0:11:52.664
You've done well to keep things up.
0:11:52.664,0:11:53.732
For YouTube?
0:11:53.732,0:11:56.593
-No, I mean the band.[br]-Oh, the band?
0:11:57.577,0:12:00.348
But I think that's very important.
0:12:00.348,0:12:03.553
We can talk about anything,
0:12:03.553,0:12:07.116
And we really understand each other,
0:12:07.116,0:12:12.165
But we also feel tension and we're considerate towards each other.
0:12:12.251,0:12:15.428
I think that's really important.
0:12:17.308,0:12:21.909
-I think that's the trick to staying together for a long time.[br]-Yeah.
0:12:22.700,0:12:25.309
Feeling tension sure is something.
0:12:25.309,0:12:27.528
-You feel it?[br]-Yeah.
0:12:27.575,0:12:29.609
I totally get that too.
0:12:29.609,0:12:35.447
It's because we truly respect each other as people.
0:12:38.807,0:12:42.157
What we talk about and how we talk to each other,
0:12:42.303,0:12:47.401
I think we do it all properly.
0:12:47.553,0:12:50.959
When I ask for questions for a Q&A,
0:12:50.959,0:12:54.797
I get a lot of them asking how long we think we'll be a band for.
0:12:55.707,0:12:58.023
-We have no idea.[br]-We don't.
0:12:58.023,0:13:00.088
-Honestly speaking.[br]-Yeah.
0:13:01.912,0:13:04.634
We don't know.
0:13:04.634,0:13:07.116
We can't promise anything.
0:13:08.046,0:13:12.381
This is going to make them really nervous!
0:13:12.381,0:13:16.362
But yeah, to be completely honest...
0:13:16.804,0:13:22.232
Simply continuing to be a band--and an all-girl band at that,
0:13:22.232,0:13:25.859
A lot of energy is needed,
0:13:27.685,0:13:32.861
And it can really wear you down.
