0:00:04.425,0:00:06.415
Hello, RINA here.

0:00:07.016,0:00:12.146
This is my first video in a little bit. Hope you guys have been doing well.

0:00:12.523,0:00:17.218
A little bit ago I asked on my Instagram for questions you have for me,

0:00:17.218,0:00:20.807
And I will be answering those questions today.

0:00:21.420,0:00:24.595
This'll be my first Q&A in a while.

0:00:25.050,0:00:27.093
Let's get right to it.

0:00:27.240,0:00:29.895
"Q. What do you think of male daycare workers?"

0:00:30.185,0:00:32.035
Male daycare workers.

0:00:32.612,0:00:34.799
I think that's wonderful!

0:00:35.909,0:00:40.449
I think there are still much more female daycare workers,

0:00:40.715,0:00:48.536
But I definitely think there are jobs helping others out that male workers can do and are making progress in.

0:00:48.666,0:00:54.156
They're working with the same intentions [as female workers], so I think it's great.

0:00:54.256,0:00:55.294
Next one.

0:00:55.525,0:01:00.075
"Q. Job hunting is neverending for me. Those I know are getting jobs, which is making me feel anxious."

0:01:00.247,0:01:02.377
Ah, I see.

0:01:02.808,0:01:07.278
This happens from time to time,

0:01:07.348,0:01:12.978
But right now I think there are a lot of people who feel anxious.

0:01:13.327,0:01:17.327
I've actually never gone job hunting.

0:01:17.530,0:01:24.049
The only job I've had is being in a band.

0:01:24.049,0:01:26.454
I've never had a part-time job either.

0:01:26.519,0:01:32.057
So I think there are only a few things I can say about it,

0:01:32.214,0:01:33.470
But...

0:01:34.190,0:01:38.878
Focus on what you ought to do right now, or what you can do.

0:01:38.989,0:01:44.959
Rather than feeling down by comparing yourself to those around you,

0:01:44.988,0:01:53.308
You should face things positively and something may happen for you.

0:01:54.222,0:01:55.672
Good luck!

0:01:55.999,0:02:03.140
"Q. My friend departed from this world by their own hand. What do you do when you're emotionally worn out?"

0:02:03.768,0:02:05.018
I see.

0:02:06.660,0:02:09.850
Well...

0:02:10.302,0:02:11.812
For me as well,

0:02:13.347,0:02:18.057
We went on a 47-prefecture tour a few years ago,

0:02:18.362,0:02:26.292
And at that time a good friend of mine similarly passed away.

0:02:26.891,0:02:32.400
I can't really put into words what I felt,

0:02:32.853,0:02:35.493
And I couldn't really accept it.

0:02:35.873,0:02:42.353
I quit trying to think about something else or to get over it.

0:02:42.353,0:02:48.995
I started to think that I will make sure to live out the rest of the story properly.

0:02:49.613,0:02:51.961
When you feel emotionally worn out...

0:02:52.918,0:02:54.527
Well...

0:02:54.998,0:02:57.248
It depends on the reason.

0:02:57.673,0:02:59.253
It's hard to say.

0:02:59.889,0:03:05.109
When something tires me out, or I mess up with work,

0:03:05.378,0:03:09.568
Or when I'm tired of things not going well,

0:03:09.832,0:03:13.372
I do things that are completely different from those.

0:03:13.578,0:03:15.868
Like, I watch variety shows,

0:03:16.069,0:03:18.775
See a movie alone, etc.

0:03:20.303,0:03:22.483
That's how I switch things up.

0:03:22.483,0:03:27.129
Also, in my case,

0:03:27.129,0:03:32.810
I talk to someone I can talk to anything about, like a good friend or one of my little sisters,

0:03:32.810,0:03:38.443
Even if my feelings are jumbled and unorganized.

0:03:39.067,0:03:45.471
I think there are times when things get a little easier when someone listens to you.

0:03:45.992,0:03:51.882
"Q. You can also include how you feel about this now, but if you were to get married, would you still stay in the band?"

0:03:53.050,0:03:55.287
I got a lot of questions about this too.

0:03:57.168,0:04:04.792
I don't really think about what to do regarding things in the future,

0:04:07.451,0:04:13.888
If when I get married I still want to be in the band, then I will.

0:04:14.069,0:04:19.256
I don't know the answer right now.

0:04:20.606,0:04:22.617
That's not really an answer, though.

0:04:23.311,0:04:25.937
I don't know right now.

0:04:26.053,0:04:27.171
But...

0:04:27.274,0:04:32.994
I'd like for the four of us to continue playing music for as long as we can.

0:04:33.521,0:04:38.702
But as it's difficult to do something for your entire life,

0:04:40.731,0:04:45.545
We're taking it year by year, concert by concert, and treasuring it all.

0:04:46.827,0:04:53.291
I want to continue doing what we've been doing for as long as we can do it.

0:04:53.996,0:04:57.842
"Q. I'm now 30. Can I still change careers?"

0:04:59.879,0:05:02.334
You can totally change careers.

0:05:05.376,0:05:13.276
There are a lot of things you're not able to do as you get older.

0:05:15.016,0:05:19.016
Thinking realistically about it, your physical strength and the like...

0:05:21.097,0:05:25.367
There may be more things you're not able to do,

0:05:25.514,0:05:30.594
But I'm the type of person who thinks that you don't need to hit the brakes.

0:05:31.754,0:05:36.434
I think it's totally fine for a 30 year old, right? Not totally sure.

0:05:36.434,0:05:38.625
I'm currently 29 years old,

0:05:39.327,0:05:46.259
And when there's something new that I want to do, then I try doing it.

0:05:46.664,0:05:49.684
That's not the same as changing careers,

0:05:49.767,0:05:58.052
But while focusing on the band, I want to do what I want to do at a given time.

0:05:58.676,0:06:00.546
I think it's totally doable.

0:06:00.743,0:06:01.943
Good luck.

0:06:02.259,0:06:07.265
"Q. I broke up with my boyfriend. RINA, have you been hurt by love before?"

0:06:07.432,0:06:10.932
Yes, I have.

0:06:11.189,0:06:12.339
Many times.

0:06:12.384,0:06:14.204
I've had a broken heart before.

0:06:14.393,0:06:16.123
I've also been dumped.

0:06:18.556,0:06:20.796
I'm the same as you guys.

0:06:21.618,0:06:25.932
But it is really tough right after breaking up.

0:06:26.082,0:06:27.592
I totally understand.

0:06:27.640,0:06:31.524
But after some time passes, you might consider it a good experience.

0:06:32.681,0:06:35.491
This is kind of like an occupational disease,

0:06:35.826,0:06:40.286
But for me, I turn those feelings into lyrics.

0:06:41.984,0:06:45.424
There are also times when I'm like, "I'll turn this into a phrase."

0:06:45.560,0:06:48.469
But it's tough. I totally get that it's tough.

0:06:48.864,0:06:51.734
There have also been times when I've cried and asked the members for advice,

0:06:51.734,0:06:56.084
And we'll be starting a tour the following week.

0:06:58.004,0:06:59.874
We're all the same.

0:07:00.697,0:07:05.394
It's a sad thing to separate from someone you love.

0:07:05.744,0:07:11.910
But it's not as if they've left this world forever; you can see them again.

0:07:11.976,0:07:16.747
It's possible that you could be friends after some time passes.

0:07:19.097,0:07:21.601
Don't despair too much.

0:07:21.875,0:07:28.777
Treasure the present and move forward while looking on the positive side.

0:07:29.443,0:07:33.954
You get hurt because you had a really great love.

0:07:35.350,0:07:39.960
"Q. I haven't listened to Japanese music in a bit, but I came to like you even more after watching your YouTube videos."

0:07:39.960,0:07:41.600
(/Welcome home🕊/)[br][br]That makes me happy to hear.

0:07:41.600,0:07:44.450
"Q. Do you write lyrics from actual experiences?"

0:07:46.259,0:07:48.160
As for lyrics...

0:07:48.308,0:07:51.581
I don't really write my experiences exactly how they are.

0:07:51.735,0:08:00.545
There are times when I write songs about heartbreak, like what I mentioned earlier,

0:08:00.843,0:08:05.473
But that's not always the case.

0:08:05.524,0:08:06.694
It's all over the place.

0:08:06.694,0:08:12.804
But I totally do draw inspiration from those experiences.

0:08:14.825,0:08:19.446
Everything can be a seed for music.

0:08:20.319,0:08:25.509
When I'm going through emotional ups and downs,

0:08:25.509,0:08:28.439
Or when good or bad stuff happens,

0:08:28.526,0:08:34.566
Ideas often come to mind when things are like that,

0:08:35.622,0:08:39.622
So whatever happens can definitely be a starter for something.

0:08:40.932,0:08:47.859
I'm bad at writing things on a deadline, like if I'm told, "Turn something in within a week."

0:08:48.667,0:08:51.788
I don't know whether or not I can do it.

0:08:53.342,0:08:55.552
I still have to do it, though.

0:08:55.707,0:08:57.877
It's pretty difficult for me.

0:08:57.979,0:09:00.553
I don't know when I'll finish it.

0:09:01.511,0:09:02.715
Yep.

0:09:02.779,0:09:06.755
I apologize to those at our managing office and record label.

0:09:08.027,0:09:13.878
"Q. Are you interested in any jobs outside of being a musical artist, or are there any jobs you'd like to try doing?"

0:09:14.381,0:09:17.650
Eh, I'm not sure.

0:09:18.522,0:09:22.142
Since I was little, I've wanted to make things.

0:09:22.211,0:09:27.531
I really yearned to have a job where I'd be in the spotlight.

0:09:27.743,0:09:30.963
That's really the only dream I had.

0:09:31.749,0:09:36.095
That's why even now it's hard for me to think of something outside of this.

0:09:37.276,0:09:42.216
Right now, I have the DAISY Project,

0:09:43.594,0:09:46.339
Which is a project that supports those in motherless/fatherless families,

0:09:46.513,0:09:56.468
And people who need support, as well as those living in troubled home environments.

0:09:56.653,0:09:57.773
But yeah...

0:09:57.890,0:10:01.039
There might be something new I find,

0:10:01.520,0:10:06.507
But I don't think there's a completely different job I'd want to do,

0:10:08.667,0:10:10.329
Now that I think about it.

0:10:10.807,0:10:16.507
"Q. What kinds of videos do you want to do on YouTube in the future? Is there something you'd like to try?"

0:10:17.687,0:10:20.967
For YouTube, I truly...

0:10:21.227,0:10:23.908
Want it to be natural...

0:10:24.709,0:10:26.139
And...

0:10:26.439,0:10:30.880
I want this to be a place where you can refresh,

0:10:30.880,0:10:36.312
And where I do things that you guys want me to do, while centering my content on vlogs.

0:10:36.550,0:10:42.532
I also want this to be a place where I can talk about things not talked about during MCs at shows,

0:10:42.532,0:10:45.412
Nor during interviews when we release new songs.

0:10:45.559,0:10:48.626
Like replying to questions, for example.

0:10:48.808,0:10:53.948
There aren't many places where I can talk about things at length,

0:10:54.136,0:10:56.505
So I'd like to answer questions,

0:10:56.788,0:11:03.658
And I hope that a new form of communication with our fans will be born from that.

0:11:03.840,0:11:07.340
I haven't decided exactly how to go about things,

0:11:07.340,0:11:13.400
But I hope each time I can share myself as I am.

0:11:14.232,0:11:21.826
"Q. When you're fed up with things in your daily life or when you feel down, how do you keep yourself calm? Things have been tough recently."

0:11:22.131,0:11:26.331
Recently...yeah. There are a lot of people who can't live the way they want.

0:11:26.502,0:11:31.612
For us as well, we can't work the way we usually do.

0:11:32.925,0:11:40.565
I think it's a difficult time for everyone to keep themselves calm.

0:11:40.849,0:11:42.977
Eh, what do I do?

0:11:44.368,0:11:46.040
At home...

0:11:47.742,0:11:51.882
I watch "Aiseki Shokudou" or "Gout Temps Nouveau,"

0:11:52.149,0:11:56.469
And recently I've been watching new shows as well.

0:11:57.123,0:12:02.740
I watch things that you can kick back and enjoy.

0:12:03.094,0:12:07.528
That's pretty standard but really effective.

0:12:09.168,0:12:12.166
Watch things that make you feel relaxed.

0:12:14.322,0:12:15.252
Yeah.

0:12:15.319,0:12:18.529
Watch things that you know will be interesting.

0:12:18.701,0:12:20.519
Social media too.

0:12:21.093,0:12:25.595
It's easy to view, but some info may make you feel down.

0:12:26.235,0:12:29.365
So when I'm having a hard time,

0:12:29.365,0:12:34.497
I only watch variety shows, dramas, or things I know will be fun to watch.

0:12:36.090,0:12:39.716
Don't take it all on yourself.

0:12:40.264,0:12:44.613
I hope watching my YouTube videos can give you a little peace of mind.

0:12:44.910,0:12:46.704
Let's do our best together.

0:12:46.963,0:12:48.083
It'll be all right.

0:12:48.656,0:12:52.656
"Q. Would you want to try writing really dark songs in the future?"

0:12:52.829,0:12:54.665
Really dark songs?

0:12:55.513,0:12:57.510
Really dark songs, huh...

0:12:57.744,0:13:00.416
I have written lyrics like that, definitely.

0:13:00.764,0:13:04.545
My lyrics are quite dark, suprisingly.

0:13:07.152,0:13:12.082
It might be surprising that some songs we've released so far have dark lyrics.

0:13:13.757,0:13:15.720
What do you think, guys?

0:13:15.934,0:13:19.684
Those familiar with SCANDAL songs might know.

0:13:20.374,0:13:22.234
If you do, leave a comment.

0:13:22.234,0:13:24.324
My lyrics can be surprisingly dark.

0:13:24.409,0:13:25.968
It might be surprising.

0:13:26.123,0:13:27.627
Also...

0:13:31.211,0:13:32.801
The song "Midnight City,"

0:13:32.801,0:13:35.941
Which I wrote the lyrics and music for and also sang lead vocals on,

0:13:35.941,0:13:38.131
It's not really a cheerful song.

0:13:41.839,0:13:45.336
But it's not like I really try to write dark songs.

0:13:45.526,0:13:47.706
It happens naturally.

0:13:47.847,0:13:51.847
That's why I'm not sure how they'll be in the future either.

0:13:52.000,0:13:55.889
There may be times when I will come out with dark ones.

0:13:56.591,0:13:57.591
Onto the next one.

0:13:58.216,0:14:05.428
"Q. My impression of you is that you always speak using kind, thoughtful words. How can I be like that too?"

0:14:06.274,0:14:07.565
That makes me happy.

0:14:11.058,0:14:14.776
I fundamentally love language.

0:14:16.837,0:14:20.407
I also love reading song lyrics.

0:14:20.988,0:14:28.214
I really like reading people's blogs or notes.

0:14:29.406,0:14:33.036
I like leaving behind words,

0:14:33.130,0:14:39.499
So I think I'm always unconsciously thinking about saying things in a way

0:14:39.499,0:14:50.042
That's most like me and that uses wording that feels the most comfortable to me.

0:14:50.714,0:14:54.334
During interviews and such I speak in the way I usually do,

0:14:54.334,0:14:58.804
And there are a lot of times when I'm told, "You have quite the unique way of expressing yourself,"

0:14:59.016,0:15:01.786
That's something I don't quite get myself.

0:15:02.949,0:15:03.709
But...

0:15:03.709,0:15:08.949
Since I like using mellow language,

0:15:08.949,0:15:13.219
I think it just comes out like that naturally.

0:15:15.887,0:15:20.800
I don't want to use words that could be hurtful.

0:15:22.351,0:15:25.401
It makes me happy that I'm perceived in that way.

0:15:25.430,0:15:27.010
Thank you.

0:15:28.232,0:15:29.482
Next one.

"Q. How many unreleased songs are there?"

0:15:33.437,0:15:36.890
Unreleased songs...meaning songs stockpiled for later, right?

0:15:37.273,0:15:38.523
Stockpiled...

0:15:38.523,0:15:42.973
Songs we've written and haven't released...how many are there?

0:15:43.412,0:15:46.774
There might be some,

0:15:47.266,0:15:52.566
But basically, we very rarely decide to release songs from that supply.

0:15:55.341,0:15:57.991
So maybe one unreleased song as of right now.

0:15:59.160,0:16:02.920
"Q. RINA, do you also want to no longer be a human being?"

0:16:03.020,0:16:05.560
What's wrong? Did something happen?

0:16:06.863,0:16:08.891
Maybe something happened that they didn't like.

0:16:11.117,0:16:16.502
They must mean something like, "Are there times when you want to run away from where you are?"

0:16:17.554,0:16:20.732
There are, of course. I'm a human being, after all.

0:16:21.923,0:16:26.113
There are fun days, and days that aren't fun,

0:16:26.310,0:16:29.778
And times when nothing's going right.

0:16:31.983,0:16:33.703
But...

0:16:35.315,0:16:38.095
In my case, I recently realized

0:16:38.266,0:16:43.637
That there are times when I drive myself too far into a corner.

0:16:45.076,0:16:47.439
Like...

0:16:47.924,0:16:48.864
How do I put it...

0:16:48.864,0:16:56.628
It's important to think that's okay.

0:16:58.173,0:17:01.493
"Q. I'd like to know how you release stress."

0:17:03.466,0:17:04.824
I see.

0:17:04.951,0:17:12.161
Recently, I decided to go to Osaka, while making sure to be careful.

0:17:12.236,0:17:19.436
I went to Kyoto via car, which is about an hour away from Osaka,

0:17:20.441,0:17:26.281
And I strolled amongst nature.

0:17:26.411,0:17:29.341
It was really relaxing.

0:17:29.477,0:17:35.237
It's so healing and relieving to be surrounded by nature.

0:17:35.338,0:17:39.968
I thought that spending time in nature would be a great stress reliever.

0:17:40.306,0:17:42.516
I wonder where they live.

0:17:42.838,0:17:46.508
It's not the best idea to take a trip right now,

0:17:46.674,0:17:48.964
But take a little breather

0:17:49.075,0:17:54.785
And visit a place you don't regularly go to. It's so relaxing.

0:17:55.775,0:17:59.775
"Q. RINA, what thing do you treasure the most?"

0:18:00.297,0:18:01.542
Eh, I wonder.

0:18:01.542,0:18:03.541
Something physical?

0:18:04.874,0:18:06.424
I wonder.

0:18:06.520,0:18:09.954
If it's something not visible, then I'd say words.

0:18:13.190,0:18:17.120
If it's something visible... I wonder...

0:18:17.120,0:18:18.754
This is difficult.

0:18:22.146,0:18:25.310
The people close to me.

0:18:28.465,0:18:29.655
Yep.

0:18:30.423,0:18:32.243
I hope that's acceptable.

0:18:33.131,0:18:40.101
"Q, What kind of person do you want to get married to? I have a boyfriend but I'm wondering if he's the person for me."

0:18:40.162,0:18:41.452
I see.

0:18:41.643,0:18:50.933
Recently, a classmate from my hometown suddenly LINE'd me

0:18:51.023,0:18:55.353
And talked to me about this same subject.

0:18:55.611,0:19:00.446
"What kind of person"... I can't imagine that at all.

0:19:01.006,0:19:02.722
I can't imagine it, but...

0:19:03.035,0:19:05.515
I don't know if this will be helpful,

0:19:05.719,0:19:13.371
But I don't think you should be too swayed by other peoples' opinions.

0:19:13.539,0:19:16.572
What my classmate told me

0:19:17.343,0:19:23.623
Is that marriage isn't just a matter between two people--it involves both of your families,

0:19:23.707,0:19:28.407
So when you hear the opinions of your parents, you can get really confused.

0:19:28.511,0:19:30.498
We talked about that.

0:19:30.548,0:19:35.323
They have their own life, and they decided that their partner's a good person,

0:19:35.323,0:19:38.203
So I did want them to get married.

0:19:40.466,0:19:43.848
I have no idea what kind of person I'm going to marry,

0:19:43.848,0:19:50.568
Nor if I'll actually marry someone,

0:19:50.628,0:19:59.226
But I think I do want to be able to make a choice while valuing what I feel.[br][br](I hope you have someone you can talk about your worries with～🕊)

0:20:00.085,0:20:03.405
I selected a lot of questions this time,

0:20:03.405,0:20:05.875
So I'll be splitting this up into two videos.

0:20:05.900,0:20:09.430
I'll end the first video here.

0:20:09.539,0:20:12.259
Thanks so much for watching until the end!

Please look forward to part 2 of this Q&A.

0:20:29.462,0:20:31.773
See you in my next video.

0:20:31.000,0:20:33.307
Bye bye!
