0:00:02.512,0:00:03.765
Can we all fit?

0:00:09.482,0:00:11.173
You can tell how well we get along.

0:00:13.816,0:00:16.526
-Right here...[br]-The light?

0:00:16.996,0:00:18.387
I'm disappearing.

0:00:23.358,0:00:24.445
Okay.

0:00:26.340,0:00:27.530
Okay.

0:00:27.630,0:00:29.650
-Today--[br]-You're already recording?

0:00:29.650,0:00:30.880
(Sorry♡)

0:00:30.880,0:00:32.736
You were super casual about it.

0:00:32.822,0:00:34.572
We're off to a relaxed start.

0:00:34.642,0:00:40.722
Today, we took photos of us modeling our tour merch.

0:00:40.810,0:00:45.567
I asked the members for some of their time after that.

0:00:46.241,0:00:48.571
Since our tour starts in April,

0:00:48.571,0:00:51.938
I'd like to talk a little about it with everyone.[br]⠀[br](Emergency meeting right before our tour)

0:00:51.998,0:00:53.637
Thank you!

0:00:55.602,0:00:57.382
All of the band members are in this one.

0:00:58.118,0:00:59.928
-It's pretty rare.[br]-Yeah.

0:01:00.038,0:01:04.038
I feel bad about asking for some of your guys' time.

0:01:04.478,0:01:07.508
-Your channel's not really about [the band] in the first place.[br]-That's right.

0:01:07.525,0:01:12.399
Basically all of my videos are personal ones.

0:01:13.293,0:01:17.283
Our nationwide tour of Zepp venues starts in April.

0:01:17.482,0:01:21.090
It's called "unlimited UTOPIA."

0:01:21.210,0:01:26.100
It'll be our first [domestic] tour in forever where audience vocalization will be allowed.

0:01:26.306,0:01:29.988
The rules are changing a bit,

0:01:29.988,0:01:32.622
and this tour will be a new opportunity for us.

0:01:32.670,0:01:35.580
We've been posting about it on social media,

0:01:35.580,0:01:38.180
but I thought it would be good for the four of us to discuss it,

0:01:38.180,0:01:41.670
so we're all going to talk about it today.

0:01:41.795,0:01:43.335
We can't wait for it, right?

0:01:43.481,0:01:45.416
I'm genuinely looking forward to it.

0:01:45.581,0:01:52.183
It's been a long time since our last solo tour in Japan where vocalizing was allowed.

0:01:52.308,0:01:55.498
We kept that in mind as we put together the setlist.

0:01:55.765,0:02:00.167
We hope to deliver very special performances.

0:02:00.310,0:02:02.040
-We're pretty excited.[br]-Yeah.

0:02:02.312,0:02:04.978
We'll start rehearsals for it in a bit.

0:02:05.137,0:02:08.387
We decided on the setlist earlier.

0:02:08.456,0:02:10.606
-It's pretty insane.[br]-Right?

0:02:10.606,0:02:12.956
It's an explosive setlist.

0:02:13.032,0:02:14.222
Like, we don't really...

0:02:14.282,0:02:16.712
We put together a setlist ahead of time

0:02:16.712,0:02:19.432
instead of deciding on it on the spot.

0:02:19.692,0:02:23.738
We perform the songs in our heads

0:02:23.738,0:02:25.368
and decide on them that way,

0:02:25.368,0:02:28.485
so it's always a mess.

0:02:28.846,0:02:31.966
-Looking at it all again.[br]-That's true.

0:02:32.144,0:02:40.634
But this a setlist that attendees will definitely be satisfied with.

0:02:40.751,0:02:43.733
We really want to hear their voices.

0:02:44.695,0:02:47.905
For this setlist, there'll be so much vocalization that it's almost annoying.

0:02:47.905,0:02:49.400
That's true.

0:02:50.666,0:02:54.036
It won't work if people don't vocalize.

0:02:54.106,0:02:55.566
-That's what these concerts will be.[br]-Yeah.

0:02:55.664,0:03:01.031
-They're really being put to the test.[br]-We'll be all embarrassed if there's no vocalization.

0:03:01.152,0:03:04.172
It's like, "Please do this!"

0:03:04.213,0:03:07.470
It's probably better to over-prepare.

0:03:07.578,0:03:10.248
-Like, watch our past live videos.[br]-Yeah.

0:03:10.356,0:03:14.616
Have them guess what kind of songs there will be.

0:03:14.689,0:03:15.489
I see.

0:03:15.555,0:03:18.015
First, songs...

0:03:20.148,0:03:23.808
-Songs where the audience vocalizes. [br]-Right.

0:03:23.929,0:03:29.722
Go back and listen to songs based on that.

0:03:30.015,0:03:31.065
That's true.

0:03:31.165,0:03:33.595
The tour isn't in support of an album,

0:03:33.595,0:03:36.865
-so the songs are pulled from across our eras.[br]-That's right.

0:03:36.922,0:03:40.284
-We'll also be playing songs we haven't in a while.[br]-We are.

0:03:40.462,0:03:44.462
It'll be a pretty noteworthy tour.

0:03:45.008,0:03:47.158
Those who have recently become fans

0:03:47.158,0:03:51.648
have never been to a SCANDAL concert where vocalizing was allowed,

0:03:51.648,0:03:53.318
or maybe have never seen us live, period.

0:03:53.439,0:03:57.766
They might be a little nervous.

0:03:58.034,0:04:03.854
I'd like to assure those people.

0:04:03.962,0:04:06.962
Although vocalizing is allowed,

0:04:06.962,0:04:11.424
the top thing we want is for fans watch the show however they'd like to.

0:04:11.534,0:04:16.614
So if you just want to watch it quietly, that's totally fine.

0:04:16.831,0:04:20.431
It's not like there's a set groove.

0:04:20.431,0:04:23.711
(There are no rules that say "You must do this!"◎)[br]⠀[br]That's why we want first-timers to feel free to do whatever

0:04:23.711,0:04:28.774
without worrying too much.

0:04:29.115,0:04:34.715
Those who have previously seen us live where vocalizing was allowed,

0:04:34.715,0:04:36.513
we definitely want you to vocalize!

0:04:36.513,0:04:38.384
(Sing loudly!)

0:04:38.384,0:04:40.176
(Shout our names!)[br]⠀[br]That's true.

0:04:40.558,0:04:44.528
-It's kind of like, "How did vocalizing go, again?"[br]-That's right.

0:04:44.602,0:04:46.242
-True.[br]-That's possible.

0:04:46.294,0:04:48.494
-So warm your throat up a bit.[br]-Yeah.

0:04:48.540,0:04:51.220
-Practice doing it.[br]-Go, "Ah, ah" beforehand.

0:04:51.410,0:04:54.560
-At first, you might stumble.[br]-I think so.

0:04:55.105,0:04:57.425
I went to a Tavito Nanao concert recently.

0:04:58.416,0:05:03.126
Tavito likes to have everyone sing the melodies.

0:05:03.181,0:05:05.159
I went by myself.

0:05:06.526,0:05:09.482
It really spread out.

0:05:10.447,0:05:13.467
It had been a long time since we all vocalized,

0:05:13.467,0:05:16.867
so when it started from the front row and slowly worked back,

0:05:16.867,0:05:17.827
it was like, "Here it comes!"

0:05:20.893,0:05:23.347
I was like that, too.

0:05:24.437,0:05:29.322
My voice was kind of shaking at first,

0:05:30.437,0:05:32.807
-but I was really happy.[br]-That's true.

0:05:33.220,0:05:36.270
Once you vocalize, do as you please.

0:05:36.642,0:05:39.392
-Until your throat opens up.[br]-Yeah.

0:05:40.125,0:05:42.777
It's kind of nerve-racking,

0:05:43.362,0:05:45.272
-until you do it.[br]-Yeah.

0:05:45.315,0:05:47.175
⠀[br](So stoic)

0:05:47.240,0:05:51.782
-Also, we're planning on doing <i>that</i> for the first song, right?[br]-Yeah.

0:05:52.526,0:05:54.056
In the before times,

0:05:54.056,0:05:56.366
even if you didn't vocalize,

0:05:56.366,0:06:01.306
if you thought about vocalizing after moving your body...

0:06:01.356,0:06:04.539
-It's like you were awakened.[br]-Yeah.

0:06:04.980,0:06:06.392
-That's true.[br]-Yeah.

0:06:07.160,0:06:09.880
The shows will start with <i>that</i>.

0:06:11.541,0:06:13.002
That's right.

0:06:14.137,0:06:19.297
We just have to follow through.

0:06:19.397,0:06:22.422
(What is this song that we just have to follow through on?)

0:06:22.631,0:06:25.841
It's not like we're asking people to vocalize right off the bat.

0:06:25.906,0:06:27.077
-We'll be like, "Let's go!"[br]-Yeah.

0:06:27.077,0:06:28.468
(Let's go?)

0:06:32.720,0:06:34.331
We're going to drive them away.

0:06:34.862,0:06:37.409
At any rate, we'd really like you guys to come out.

0:06:38.301,0:06:41.701
We really want first timers as well as those who haven't been in a while to come out.

0:06:41.930,0:06:45.290
We always get a lot of questions about this:

0:06:45.290,0:06:47.910
What is our fanbase like?

0:06:48.004,0:06:49.834
That's something they don't know.

0:06:49.928,0:06:53.264
Like, "Is it okay for adults to go?"

0:06:53.584,0:06:55.657
"Is it okay if I go by myself?"

0:06:56.118,0:06:58.489
We always get those questions.

0:06:58.681,0:07:00.671
We want anyone and everyone to come.

0:07:00.723,0:07:04.011
We're ready to welcome anyone.

0:07:04.219,0:07:07.139
There really are a lot of people who come by themselves.

0:07:07.222,0:07:11.740
And those who do sometimes end up making friends.

0:07:12.220,0:07:16.047
I think that the experience of going to a concert

0:07:16.047,0:07:19.443
truly is something that lasts a lifetime.

0:07:19.570,0:07:24.310
We'd like for everyone to experience it at least once.

0:07:24.609,0:07:26.286
In the past,

0:07:27.354,0:07:34.894
we could partly tell what our fanbase was by looking at it,

0:07:34.894,0:07:37.017
-but now we don't know.[br]-That's true.

0:07:37.193,0:07:38.803
It's quite varied.

0:07:38.985,0:07:42.636
People across all ages come,

0:07:43.166,0:07:44.466
as well as genders.

0:07:44.526,0:07:46.836
Borders don't matter, either.

0:07:46.944,0:07:49.995
People from overseas come as well.

0:07:50.419,0:07:51.985
It doesn't matter.

0:07:51.985,0:07:53.049
(Comrades who love the same music)

0:07:53.049,0:07:56.352
Seriously, don't worry and just come out.

0:07:56.689,0:07:59.689
-It's surprisingly fun to attend by yourself.[br]-It is.

0:07:59.762,0:08:00.822
You've done it before?

0:08:01.087,0:08:03.962
I have, quite a number of times.

0:08:04.009,0:08:09.119
Like, even if you're not your usual self, no one would know.

0:08:11.760,0:08:15.173
So even if you vocalize or put your hand up,

0:08:15.173,0:08:18.833
there's no one around that knows you.

0:08:18.903,0:08:21.035
It feels very freeing.

0:08:21.328,0:08:22.618
It's pretty nice.

0:08:22.784,0:08:24.904
Yeah, and for me...

0:08:26.210,0:08:29.747
When I go see an artist I like,

0:08:29.747,0:08:33.954
they have those panels and stuff you can use for Instagram photos

0:08:33.954,0:08:35.356
where you put your face in it,

0:08:35.356,0:08:38.578
and I can ask people I don't know to take my photo.

0:08:38.988,0:08:43.309
(Memories = Happiness)[br]⠀[br]Yeah, I ask them to take photos.

0:08:43.884,0:08:45.227
Surprisingly...

0:08:46.151,0:08:48.701
Well, that's not exactly a step towards vocalization,

0:08:48.701,0:08:51.789
but once you take the plunge on something, there's really nothing to be afraid of.

0:08:51.869,0:08:53.109
It's actually fun.

0:08:53.207,0:08:54.797
It's like you can do anything.

0:08:55.381,0:08:56.481
It's nice.

0:08:57.185,0:09:02.365
There were fan club members who would come see us in the past,

0:09:02.365,0:09:09.475
and the atmosphere that they created was really powerful.

0:09:09.563,0:09:12.543
They created an atmosphere that was easy to join.

0:09:12.638,0:09:18.493
(SCANDAL MANIA members, thanks as always♡)[br]⠀[br]So that's why I'd like for people to feel free to take the first step.

0:09:18.897,0:09:21.655
I think this will be a special tour.

0:09:21.950,0:09:26.421
It's right before our 17th anniversary.[br](Our 17th anniversary is August 21, 2023)

0:09:26.853,0:09:30.498
This is the last chance to see us in our 16th year.

0:09:31.749,0:09:35.749
We might play a concert after breaking the Guinness World Record.

0:09:35.805,0:09:38.415
Yeah, maybe a solo concert.

0:09:39.496,0:09:41.216
-We might.[br]-Yeah.

0:09:41.304,0:09:45.972
We really hope you enjoy SCANDAL as we are right now.

0:09:46.385,0:09:51.715
If you've seen us live before and have any fun memories

0:09:51.715,0:09:55.015
or want to talk about the first time you saw us, etc.,

0:09:55.015,0:10:02.845
please leave a comment on this video!

0:10:02.977,0:10:06.187
Let's all make SCANDAL exciting this year as well!

0:10:06.328,0:10:10.328
We'd like to do activities that'll be a source of power for everyone.

0:10:10.511,0:10:12.667
Now...[br](Glancing at the clock)

0:10:13.666,0:10:18.166
Thank you so much for your time after work.

0:10:18.194,0:10:19.704
Thank you.

0:10:19.866,0:10:25.296
That's it for today's special video.

0:10:25.369,0:10:27.617
See you in my next video!

0:10:27.921,0:10:30.082
We're looking forward to seeing you at the concerts!

0:10:30.167,0:10:31.315
Chi you![br]⠀[br](Chi you?)

0:10:32.625,0:10:34.225
I messed up!

0:10:35.095,0:10:38.156
-Bye bye![br]-See you!

0:10:39.911,0:10:42.887
Thank you! Good work!
