00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,523
Translation & Subtitles: thoseguiltyeyes | scandal-heaven.com
It's so dark!
2
00:00:02,523 --> 00:00:06,362
Translation & Subtitles: thoseguiltyeyes | scandal-heaven.com
It's really dark. Is this going to work?
3
00:00:06,362 --> 00:00:09,280
-We just went out to eat for the first time in forever.
-Yeah.
4
00:00:09,838 --> 00:00:12,226
After we finished work,
5
00:00:12,267 --> 00:00:15,780
We went to HARU's place first.
6
00:00:18,303 --> 00:00:21,290
We fed her dog Lady-chan.
7
00:00:21,414 --> 00:00:25,432
This was my first time going to HARU's place.
8
00:00:25,648 --> 00:00:31,193
I mean, this was my first time going to a place HARU has lived at
9
00:00:32,090 --> 00:00:37,034
Since she was living alone in a studio apartment in Osaka.
10
00:00:37,384 --> 00:00:39,834
It had been 12 years.
11
00:00:40,134 --> 00:00:42,295
Wait, wasn't it even before that?
12
00:00:43,642 --> 00:00:45,797
13 years?
13
00:00:45,797 --> 00:00:48,019
Maybe about 14 years?
14
00:00:49,068 --> 00:00:51,104
That's crazy.
15
00:00:51,104 --> 00:00:54,150
We're always together anyway.
16
00:00:54,272 --> 00:00:57,580
Time passes by way too fast.
17
00:00:59,629 --> 00:01:01,236
Seriously,
18
00:01:01,236 --> 00:01:03,894
From the time I was a kid until the time I became an adult,
19
00:01:03,894 --> 00:01:06,864
There hasn't been a moment when we haven't been together.
20
00:01:07,704 --> 00:01:09,923
Isn't that crazy?
21
00:01:11,507 --> 00:01:14,058
I'm surprised we've been able to stay together for so long.
22
00:01:14,058 --> 00:01:16,796
Meeting the members,
23
00:01:16,796 --> 00:01:19,118
Like, no matter how many more years I have ahead of me,
24
00:01:19,153 --> 00:01:23,519
That is my most precious treasure in life, seriously.
25
00:01:23,519 --> 00:01:26,320
I really do think that.
26
00:01:26,437 --> 00:01:28,776
That's so heavy.
27
00:01:30,348 --> 00:01:35,255
I mean, it just so happened that we became a band.
28
00:01:35,455 --> 00:01:37,113
Like, what are the chances of that?
29
00:01:37,723 --> 00:01:41,324
I wonder why we all attended a dance school.
30
00:01:41,438 --> 00:01:44,726
Eh, didn't you want to make your debut as a dancer?
31
00:01:46,343 --> 00:01:47,609
Yeah, that was the case.
32
00:01:47,609 --> 00:01:50,662
At first, though, the reason why you started liking music
33
00:01:50,662 --> 00:01:53,313
Is because of dance music.
34
00:01:53,478 --> 00:01:54,991
-Isn't that weird?
-Yeah.
35
00:01:56,283 --> 00:02:00,761
You might have thought that being in a band was odd.
36
00:02:01,414 --> 00:02:05,005
Maybe that's why I started learning about it.
37
00:02:05,005 --> 00:02:07,071
This kind of life.
38
00:02:08,271 --> 00:02:10,301
You're also getting deep!
39
00:02:11,634 --> 00:02:15,160
We're a band that has a special story,
40
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,094
And...
41
00:02:18,774 --> 00:02:21,827
We're fine with it all,
42
00:02:21,907 --> 00:02:29,151
-So we hope to have fun conveying (our roots and personalities) to lots of people.
-That's true.
43
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,361
I think there are a lot of people who know about all that.
44
00:02:33,633 --> 00:02:36,888
Depending on when you learn about us,
45
00:02:36,888 --> 00:02:39,995
We're always in a different mode,
46
00:02:39,995 --> 00:02:43,182
So I think each person has their own image of us.
47
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,754
But we've been doing this for 14 years,
48
00:02:47,915 --> 00:02:56,490
And I think it'd be best if we could convey that this is who we are right now.
49
00:02:56,490 --> 00:03:07,626
Recently, we've been talking a lot about what the best way would be to let people know who we currently are.
50
00:03:08,894 --> 00:03:13,821
It's because I think we're really cool right now!
51
00:03:15,135 --> 00:03:17,365
I'm speaking for myself,
52
00:03:17,415 --> 00:03:20,898
-And our music too.
-This truly is the best we've ever been.
53
00:03:20,898 --> 00:03:23,791
-We're not denying who we used to be.
-No, we're not.
54
00:03:24,104 --> 00:03:29,084
We've been fighting against those feelings every day lately.
55
00:03:29,857 --> 00:03:34,214
We never do anything but talk about the band
56
00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:37,291
I mean, the only thing we talk about is the band.
57
00:03:37,450 --> 00:03:39,755
Like today,
58
00:03:39,755 --> 00:03:43,011
We started rehearsals at 1 pm
59
00:03:43,134 --> 00:03:45,880
And then had a meeting.
60
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,788
So, like...
61
00:03:47,972 --> 00:03:50,676
How many hours do we talk about the band?
62
00:03:51,882 --> 00:03:54,938
Right?
63
00:03:56,336 --> 00:04:00,989
You know, I recently started up the DAISY PROJECT,
64
00:04:01,318 --> 00:04:09,138
And on YouTube I intentionally increased the time I actively talk about things other than music.
65
00:04:09,138 --> 00:04:12,341
By talking about things unrelated [to music],
66
00:04:12,446 --> 00:04:17,960
It naturally conveys my personality, right?
67
00:04:18,716 --> 00:04:22,960
Isn't it because you've aaalways been writing blogs?
68
00:04:23,235 --> 00:04:26,698
I've written them since before our indie label debut.
69
00:04:26,813 --> 00:04:34,047
Ever since we formed, RINA has always written blogs.
70
00:04:34,156 --> 00:04:38,250
If you think about how she turned that into videos,
71
00:04:38,381 --> 00:04:43,361
It's not like it was that big of a change.
72
00:04:43,606 --> 00:04:46,131
The form is just different.
73
00:04:46,835 --> 00:04:50,150
Also,
74
00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:53,536
Because I'm now an adult,
75
00:04:53,536 --> 00:05:00,517
The process of being in a band while growing up increased the things I want to do,
76
00:05:00,517 --> 00:05:02,378
And changed the way I think.
77
00:05:02,532 --> 00:05:04,077
That's normal to go through as a human being.
78
00:05:04,249 --> 00:05:05,248
Yeah.
79
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:14,380
It feels a little presumptuous to say that you want to properly show that, and to have people understand that,
80
00:05:14,380 --> 00:05:15,907
But that does happen.
81
00:05:16,806 --> 00:05:20,420
But it's the same for everyone.
82
00:05:20,670 --> 00:05:22,180
Yeah.
83
00:05:22,403 --> 00:05:25,771
It's the same for those who see that.
84
00:05:25,771 --> 00:05:29,262
The way you think changes alongside your age.
85
00:05:29,262 --> 00:05:32,813
Your situation changes.
86
00:05:32,955 --> 00:05:35,495
-It's the same for us.
-Yeah.
87
00:05:35,495 --> 00:05:46,295
So, because we'll have easy-to-understand interviews in magazines and such,
88
00:05:46,436 --> 00:05:53,346
What we think at the time will remain as an article,
89
00:05:53,346 --> 00:05:59,363
So there will probably always be people who are like, "But you said this at this time."
90
00:05:59,467 --> 00:06:03,060
They'll go, "I'm a person who thinks like this,"
91
00:06:03,060 --> 00:06:08,050
And will remain that way for several years.
92
00:06:08,209 --> 00:06:13,753
But since they are human beings, they'll then start changing,
93
00:06:13,753 --> 00:06:19,613
And it's a given that they'll be like, "This is what I think now,"
94
00:06:19,613 --> 00:06:22,371
A while ago,
95
00:06:22,371 --> 00:06:24,583
In regards to cooking...
96
00:06:27,441 --> 00:06:30,083
It's not that I didn't like it,
97
00:06:30,705 --> 00:06:34,177
But I thought cooking was a hassle.
98
00:06:34,738 --> 00:06:37,772
That was maybe 10 years ago?
99
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:44,353
10 years ago, when I barely started living on my own,
100
00:06:44,768 --> 00:06:49,888
Was when I would say I'm not that good at cooking.
101
00:06:51,770 --> 00:06:55,107
I'm sure there are people who will always have that impression of me.
102
00:06:55,107 --> 00:06:57,645
They'll mention it to you?
103
00:06:58,875 --> 00:07:02,198
When we were on lockdown,
104
00:07:02,536 --> 00:07:07,515
If I made food and posted it on social media,
105
00:07:07,685 --> 00:07:12,959
People would reply with things like, "You can cook after all."
106
00:07:13,252 --> 00:07:15,520
I would think, "Well, of course I can."
107
00:07:15,671 --> 00:07:19,117
You wouldn't be alive if you couldn't!
108
00:07:19,117 --> 00:07:25,869
I think we all have times when we're like, "Of course I can do that."
109
00:07:26,769 --> 00:07:36,567
-There are times when you just want to be seen as a regular adult woman.
-Yeah.
110
00:07:36,567 --> 00:07:40,778
We're both musicians and human beings~
111
00:07:41,417 --> 00:07:45,630
We were young when we had our major label debut,
112
00:07:45,762 --> 00:07:50,489
And I know that gave off the impression we were childish.
113
00:07:50,668 --> 00:07:55,703
Today, HARU let me know for the first time that she watches my YouTube videos.
114
00:07:55,775 --> 00:07:59,420
That made me so happy!
115
00:08:01,566 --> 00:08:07,119
I LINE'd her in the middle of night, asking her if she'd be okay with filming today.
116
00:08:07,119 --> 00:08:14,434
All I do is film on my days off, edit the footage myself, and then upload it,
117
00:08:14,667 --> 00:08:16,886
So on days off...
118
00:08:17,746 --> 00:08:21,991
It's really hard for me to ask the members if it's okay to film.
119
00:08:22,437 --> 00:08:26,437
I feel kind of bad asking on our days off.
120
00:08:28,543 --> 00:08:31,405
If you ask us, we'll adjust our schedules, you know.
121
00:08:31,686 --> 00:08:34,332
I really want to be considerate to you guys!
122
00:08:34,371 --> 00:08:37,366
Nah, like...
123
00:08:37,541 --> 00:08:42,345
When you ask, "Are you free after the meeting tomorrow?"
124
00:08:42,345 --> 00:08:45,588
It makes me go, "Did something happen?"
125
00:08:45,807 --> 00:08:51,390
I can really tell that you're nervous about something.
126
00:08:53,037 --> 00:08:55,695
Like, "Are you in some sort of trouble?"
127
00:08:55,742 --> 00:09:00,894
I'm still pretty nervous to invite you guys out.
128
00:09:00,894 --> 00:09:02,446
Or rather, there are many times when I try to be considerate.
129
00:09:02,771 --> 00:09:06,492
There totally are times when we just go with the flow and go out to eat and stuff.
130
00:09:07,403 --> 00:09:11,529
-We don't often go, "Are you free tomorrow?"
-We don't.
131
00:09:11,529 --> 00:09:15,363
So, getting to chat and have a meal together,
132
00:09:15,485 --> 00:09:19,898
And getting to go to her place for the first time made me happy.
133
00:09:20,709 --> 00:09:23,394
I also got to see her dog Lady-chan.
134
00:09:23,394 --> 00:09:25,990
-She remembered me, right? I think so.
-Yeah.
135
00:09:25,990 --> 00:09:27,183
That made me happy.
136
00:09:27,539 --> 00:09:31,132
She's gotten so big!
137
00:09:31,383 --> 00:09:34,094
Yeah. She's pretty big.
138
00:09:34,257 --> 00:09:39,214
She's the biggest size for a minature dachshund.
139
00:09:40,374 --> 00:09:42,427
She's a big size then~
140
00:09:42,427 --> 00:09:45,006
Yeah, she is. Well,
141
00:09:45,006 --> 00:09:47,713
She's not overweight.
142
00:09:47,713 --> 00:09:49,268
-She's just a big size?
-Yeah.
143
00:09:49,466 --> 00:09:54,829
I- gotta hand it to you. You always film by yourself, don't you?
-Yeah, I always do.
144
00:09:55,251 --> 00:09:57,510
-It's not a livestream, right?
-Right.
145
00:09:57,510 --> 00:10:00,512
-So it's not like any comments are going by.
-Yeah.
146
00:10:00,512 --> 00:10:04,525
But it's a good way to train. We don't have any concerts right now,
147
00:10:04,525 --> 00:10:06,971
So we also don't have MCs to do.
148
00:10:07,046 --> 00:10:09,820
This is speaking practice for me.
149
00:10:09,911 --> 00:10:10,788
That's true.
150
00:10:10,961 --> 00:10:17,386
We have a podcast right now called "Catch up,"
151
00:10:17,386 --> 00:10:22,315
So we still talk about what's going on.
152
00:10:22,926 --> 00:10:27,590
-It's also become a pretty big output for us.
-Yeah.
153
00:10:27,643 --> 00:10:32,587
-It's also a place where we talk about all sorts of thoughts we have.
-Yeah.
154
00:10:32,587 --> 00:10:37,912
That's exactly why it truly conveys our personalities.
155
00:10:37,912 --> 00:10:41,399
It'll make you realize why we play the music we do.
156
00:10:41,646 --> 00:10:44,537
The more we delve into things, the more fun it gets.
157
00:10:44,537 --> 00:10:46,820
-Band-wise.
-Yeah.
158
00:10:47,405 --> 00:10:52,571
Ah, it feels weird filming a YouTube video with HARU.
159
00:10:52,571 --> 00:10:54,582
But it makes me happy.
160
00:10:54,875 --> 00:10:57,398
-I thought, "I finally get to appear."
-No way!
161
00:10:57,398 --> 00:11:02,081
I knew that the other members made small appearances,
162
00:11:02,202 --> 00:11:05,078
So it made me go, "It's finally my turn."
163
00:11:05,078 --> 00:11:08,110
I wish you had told me sooner!
164
00:11:08,110 --> 00:11:09,278
Like,
165
00:11:09,278 --> 00:11:17,131
The members are all extremely considerate, right?
166
00:11:17,204 --> 00:11:20,903
Why didn't you tell me something like, "Let's film together"?
167
00:11:20,903 --> 00:11:24,451
-I mean, that's something that you shouldn't show on camera!
-What are you talking about?!
168
00:11:26,619 --> 00:11:30,496
This is a place where I have complete freedom!
169
00:11:30,568 --> 00:11:32,309
It's a playground.
170
00:11:33,503 --> 00:11:35,686
But it's your own place!
171
00:11:36,309 --> 00:11:37,230
Nah, nah.
172
00:11:38,578 --> 00:11:42,257
I didn't think that the members would want to appear in my videos,
173
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,727
And I felt guilty asking you guys.
174
00:11:46,868 --> 00:11:49,732
That was an incident of me caring too much.
175
00:11:50,408 --> 00:11:52,664
You've done well to keep things up.
176
00:11:52,664 --> 00:11:53,732
For YouTube?
177
00:11:53,732 --> 00:11:56,593
-No, I mean the band.
-Oh, the band?
178
00:11:57,577 --> 00:12:00,348
But I think that's very important.
179
00:12:00,348 --> 00:12:03,553
We can talk about anything,
180
00:12:03,553 --> 00:12:07,116
And we really understand each other,
181
00:12:07,116 --> 00:12:12,165
But we also feel tension and we're considerate towards each other.
182
00:12:12,251 --> 00:12:15,428
I think that's really important.
183
00:12:17,308 --> 00:12:21,909
-I think that's the trick to staying together for a long time.
-Yeah.
184
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:25,309
Feeling tension sure is something.
185
00:12:25,309 --> 00:12:27,528
-You feel it?
-Yeah.
186
00:12:27,575 --> 00:12:29,609
I totally get that too.
187
00:12:29,609 --> 00:12:35,447
It's because we truly respect each other as people.
188
00:12:38,807 --> 00:12:42,157
What we talk about and how we talk to each other,
189
00:12:42,303 --> 00:12:47,401
I think we do it all properly.
190
00:12:47,553 --> 00:12:50,959
When I ask for questions for a Q&A,
191
00:12:50,959 --> 00:12:54,797
I get a lot of them asking how long we think we'll be a band for.
192
00:12:55,707 --> 00:12:58,023
-We have no idea.
-We don't.
193
00:12:58,023 --> 00:13:00,088
-Honestly speaking.
-Yeah.
194
00:13:01,912 --> 00:13:04,634
We don't know.
195
00:13:04,634 --> 00:13:07,116
We can't promise anything.
196
00:13:08,046 --> 00:13:12,381
This is going to make them really nervous!
197
00:13:12,381 --> 00:13:16,362
But yeah, to be completely honest...
198
00:13:16,804 --> 00:13:22,232
Simply continuing to be a band--and an all-girl band at that,
199
00:13:22,232 --> 00:13:25,859
A lot of energy is needed,
200
00:13:27,685 --> 00:13:32,861
And it can really wear you down.
