Hello, RINA here.
-
Since I've been posting a lot of vlogs recently,
-
today, while drinking Starbucks,
-
I'll be chatting with you guys.
-
On Instagram I asked for any questions you may have,
-
so I'll be answering those while chatting to the camera.
-
It's a White Chocolate Mocha.
-
We have a podcast called "Catch up,"
-
which is on Spotify,
-
and I just got back from recording for it.
-
The sun's setting right now,
-
and the sun's entering the frame at perfect timing.
-
It's really bright.
-
All right.
-
Let's answer questions.
-
"Q. What country or area would you like to visit on vacation in the future?"
-
I wonder? On vacation...
-
I've been watching a Thai drama recently on Netflix.
-
It's called "Girl From Nowhere."
-
It's kind of...
-
scary.
-
Anyone watching it?
-
It's "Tales of the Unusual"-like and is really interesting.
-
I really like mysteries that are a bit scary.
-
I've been to Thailand to play concerts,
-
but since I haven't gone there on vacation,
-
I'd like to do so.
-
I'm addicted to Thai stuff right now.
-
There's a female interpreter in Thailand that I'm good friends with.
-
I'd like to go and have some fun.
-
Okay.
-
"Q. Do you read fan letters?"
-
I do!
-
I bring all of them with me back home and read them.
-
Thank you very much.
-
"Q. Where would you like to live in the future?"
-
I've really started to want to live in the Kansai region.
-
My hometowns are Osaka and Nara,
-
and I'd really like to live for a few months somewhere like Osaka, Kyoto, or Nara.
-
I love Kansai.
-
"Q. I've started thinking about marrying my current boyfriend. How does one decide to get married?"
-
Ehー, that's difficult.
-
I've never thought about it that much before.
-
I have no idea.
-
But feeling comfortable
-
and having a stable mentality,
-
I think those are very important.
-
Recently, in the span of one month...um...
-
Two different friends got married.
-
Yeah, I talked to them,
-
and it made me realize again that those things are ultimately what's important.
-
"Q. Although lockdowns will continue, is there anything you want to do this summer?"
-
I do have a few things I'm considering.
-
I think I'll be able to announce something soon,
-
and at that time I'll talk more in detail about it.
-
"Q. RINA, is there anything you're particular about when it comes to hairstyles?"
-
Right now...
-
I have my hair colored without using bleach,
-
and recently I had posted a YouTube video about how to get the same hair color.
-
That's how I dye my hair,
-
and lately I've been adding ash colors
-
and using purple shampoo.
-
I'm growing it out right now.
-
Also...what else?
-
I cut my bangs a little on the short side.
-
It's easy to set, so I cut them a bit short.
-
"Q. People in my hometown get married early, and I'm panicking since I don't have a boyfriend.
-
I would like to get married. I haven't met anyone decent, though..."
-
Aah.
-
There certainly are many who come from places where people get married early.
-
For me as well, my hometown friends and those around me are getting married.
-
It's like, "Ah, this would be around the right timing for that,"
-
but I really think it differs for each person.
-
You don't need to panic at all.
-
"Q. Do you use colored contacts?"
-
I don't. My eyes are bare.
-
"Q. Is being in love a serious or trivial thing?"
-
Do you mean being dependent?
-
I don't think so at all.
-
I'm the type that doesn't think so at all.
-
Like...
-
That's fundamentally the basis of our band.
-
We don't know what'll happen in the future,
-
but the basis of the band...
-
is to each have fun, and at the same time,
-
if we have someone we love,
-
that adds even more fun to things.
-
I like that view on love.
-
"Q. I'm now in college but don't really know how to get closer to others.
-
Sometimes I suddenly want to be alone, even when I'm with friends.
-
RINA, what would you do during those times?"
-
When I was a student, there were definitely times when I was alone.
-
I was that type of person.
-
I could totally have fun if I was invited out,
-
but there were times when I preferred being alone,
-
and also times when I'd naturally end up on my own.
-
Maybe I didn't really mind it.
-
In my second year of high school, I transferred from an all-girls' school in Osaka to a high school in Tokyo.
-
I attended those schools for half of that year each.
-
You often hear about how high school friends stay close even after growing up,
-
but that didn't really happen for me.
-
Like, I didn't have many friends...is what I thought.
-
Like...
-
It kind of worried me.
-
Like, I didn't have anyone I could talk about anything with.
-
That's what I thought,
-
but when I was going to school in Osaka...
-
There's an artist named Yayoi Daimon who's currently debuting in the hip-hop scene,
-
and she was in the same class as me.
-
As of very recently,
-
we've started hanging out in our free time.
-
Reuniting with someone after you've both grown up is a great thing.
-
So...
-
When you want to be alone,
-
I think it's totally fine to be alone.
-
"Q. Ways to raise your self-esteem?"
-
If you compare yourself to others and find there's something you lack or are less good at,
-
it makes you feel bad, right?
-
But's it not about what you can't do--
-
it's about what you can do.
-
"Q. Is it important to live your life looking ahead three years?"
-
It's tiring to constantly just think about the future,
-
and it sucks.
-
Hmm, yeah...
-
When I'm writing songs,
-
for some reason...
-
I start thinking about whether we can keep doing this in three or five more years.
-
We've recently started to write our own songs,
-
and since the four of us want to be in this band for as long as we can,
-
we want to start making songs with all kinds of tempos, all kinds of melodies, music with all kinds of feelings.
-
So, there are parts of me that also think ahead,
-
and parts that can only think of right now.
-
I think it's also really important to enjoy the present.
-
"Q. When starting something, and when you have to keep that going, do you feel uneasy?"
-
When you start new things as an adult,
-
you're more level-headed than when you're a kid,
-
so you do feel uneasy and maybe aren't sure if you can keep doing it.
-
But as for me, I'm the type that goes for it.
-
I think it'd be good each time to think about how to continue something
-
while changing the shape of it so as not to make things tough for you at that time.
-
I haven't drank this at all.
-
For some reason there were a lot of love-related comments this time.
-
I think I'll narrow down topics next time.
-
It sounds interesting.
-
All right, that's all for today.
-
I talked about a lot of things.
-
It was fun to record a video of me chatting for the first time in forever.
-
Thanks so much for watching until the end!
-
Also, thanks so much for always leaving comments!
-
Subscribe to my channel and wait for my next video!
-
Also...
-
We recently came out with a new song called "Ivory."
-
It's a song that really fits who we are right now,
-
and one that we can perform naturally.
-
So please give it a listen if you'd like!
-
This time,
-
our guitarist MAMI is on lead vocals for a single for the time.
-
There's also a music video for it on our band's official YouTube channel,
-
so I hope you listen to it in whichever way you'd like!
-
Thank you!
-
That's all for today.
-
Ah, like...
-
I apologize for always going a long time without posting new videos.
-
I'll film some here and there again.
-
Thanks so much for watching until the end!
-
See you in my next video!
-
Bye bye!
