WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.594 Translation & Subtitles: thoseguiltyeyes | scandal-heaven.com ā € Hello! RINA here. 00:00:02.881 --> 00:00:05.377 I'm at the airport right now. 00:00:05.714 --> 00:00:11.124 Today, we'll be taking a one-way flight that takes 30 hours 00:00:11.124 --> 00:00:16.043 and going to Sao Paulo, Brazil for the first time. 00:00:18.648 --> 00:00:21.288 At any rate, this'll be the longest we've ever traveled, 00:00:21.288 --> 00:00:27.732 and I'm kind of nervous about getting there safe and sound. 00:00:28.439 --> 00:00:32.889 I hope we get there safely, 00:00:32.889 --> 00:00:35.189 put on a good performance, 00:00:35.189 --> 00:00:38.779 and have some fun. 00:00:38.946 --> 00:00:41.996 I bought a neck pilllow from Yogibo. 00:00:43.046 --> 00:00:45.290 I'm kind of looking forward to using it. 00:00:47.651 --> 00:00:50.198 We have a layover in Dubai. 00:00:50.319 --> 00:00:54.089 So first we'll be flying for a little over 10 hours, 00:00:54.089 --> 00:01:01.575 and then we'll have our connecting flight to Sao Paulo. 00:01:02.435 --> 00:01:08.935 We don't usually do night flights, 00:01:08.935 --> 00:01:10.983 so it feels kind of new and fresh. 00:01:11.362 --> 00:01:14.332 The view looks nice from the airport. 00:01:14.852 --> 00:01:20.333 I downloaded a bunch of videos and drama series. 00:01:22.637 --> 00:01:27.697 I'll be boarding the first plane now. 00:01:28.003 --> 00:01:30.633 It's embarrassing to film solo at the airport. 00:01:30.748 --> 00:01:32.251 I'm off! 00:01:47.875 --> 00:01:50.415 We're boarding the plane now. 00:01:53.431 --> 00:02:00.558 Until a few days ago there were a lot of open seats, 00:02:00.558 --> 00:02:04.101 but in the past 2-3 days it totally filled up. 00:02:04.988 --> 00:02:07.001 A lot of people are going to Dubai. 00:02:10.982 --> 00:02:13.839 We've arrived in Dubai. 00:02:14.822 --> 00:02:17.162 The flight was about 10 hours. 00:02:17.236 --> 00:02:20.529 That was a piece of cake and went by in no time. 00:02:21.267 --> 00:02:24.160 They served two meals. 00:02:24.989 --> 00:02:30.469 The entire time I was watching the videos I downloaded. 00:02:34.697 --> 00:02:36.788 I watched "Love Transit." 00:02:38.407 --> 00:02:40.010 It was interesting. 00:02:40.327 --> 00:02:47.147 Our youngest female manager was recommending it for the longest time. 00:02:47.250 --> 00:02:51.110 I decided to watch it on the plane and had fun doing so. 00:02:52.034 --> 00:02:55.357 10 hours went by in no time. 00:02:55.627 --> 00:02:57.649 There are 20 more hours left. 00:02:57.877 --> 00:02:59.221 So long. 00:03:00.315 --> 00:03:03.635 Right now, as we've just arrived... 00:03:03.915 --> 00:03:06.228 It's a little before 5 am. 00:03:07.487 --> 00:03:14.327 I'll eat breakfast now that we've landed. 00:03:14.377 --> 00:03:23.182 We'll spend another 5 hours at the airport, 00:03:24.155 --> 00:03:30.415 then take a 15-hour flight and arrive in Sao Paulo. 00:03:30.532 --> 00:03:33.255 I'll be taking it easy at the airport. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We've arrived in Sao Paulo. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Yesterday... 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I think we arrived at night. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I was so tired that I couldn't film. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Then I slept for a day, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and today... 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We have interviews and M&Gs with fans. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That's our day today. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Traveling for 30 hours... 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The last 15 hours were more damaging that I thought they'd be. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 You use up a lot of stamina. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 But since this is something we probably won't experience much, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 it was a really crazy experience. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It was so long. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The amount of time that passed after our layover was really long. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Like, you'd go to sleep and wake up, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 but there'd still be 10 hours left. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It was crazy. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It was so long. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We did fly to the other side of the world, after all. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 But, firstly, I'm so glad we arrived safely. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It's midwinter here. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The seasons are the opposite of Japan's. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That's why it was really cold when we arrived. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It was colder than I thought it'd be. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 When we asked the local staff about it, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 they said that the temperature dropped a lot starting yesterday. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Until then, it had been a bit cooler and more comfy, apparently. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We're finally getting to meet our fans in Brazil after 15 years, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 so it feels really crazy. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It's really something, waiting for 15 years. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Ever since we started our social media accounts, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 we've gotten a lot of messages every day from South American countries 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 like Brazil and also Chile. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 This is our first time coming to Brazil, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and when it was announced that we were appearing at this festival, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 the reactions were crazy 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and it made us happy. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Now that we're finally able to meet, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 we're going to do the best we can. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We have no idea when--or if--we can see each other again, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 so we'll go all out before heading back home. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We have a meet-and-greet before the concert. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I'm looking forward to it. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I also wonder what we'll be asked during the interviews. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The questions we're asked by Japanese press 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and the ones asked by overseas press 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 are always completely different from each other. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 There are a lot of things to look forward to. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Also, I was looking through my YouTube channel 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and realized that it's been a year since our world tour. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It's terrifying how fast time goes by. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Way too much stuff happened on that world tour. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It was tough. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We toured Japan, then the US, then Europe. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 All of us in the band got COVID when we were in the US, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and we had to spend 2 weeks recovering at a hotel in Chicago, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 unable to go back to Japan. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We had to cancel half of our US tour. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 There's so much regret there. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That was the first time we've had to outright cancel concerts like that. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That's why there were so many things that we felt for the first time. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 When I thought about how it's been a year since then... 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 If you don't take each and every concert, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 or each and every day, one at a time, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 it'll go by really quickly. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 This year's also already halfway over. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 When we get back from Brazil, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 we'll be preparing for an important event in Japan, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 so we'll be going closer and closer towards that goal. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I think this performance in Brazil will be our only overseas one this year. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It's a little unusual for us. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We usually play a few overseas concerts each year, after all. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 So I hope we can deliver some good music with this one. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Now then, I'm off to do interviews and the M&G. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 "x" 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I think it's different for each of us. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Before a concert, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 we usually will eat snacks in the dressing room. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We'll eat a lot of snacks. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Today, some pao de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) was prepared for us. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We're eating dinner. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We're all eating churrasco. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It's the best. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The veggies are self-serve, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 while the meat comes around to you. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Wow. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 A lot of meat came by. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 This is awesome. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It's crazy. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 This is really good. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It is. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 -It's totally different from yakiniku. -Right? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It's been a while since I've had this. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 So good. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Thank you! 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 (The family next to us celebrating a birthday gave us some cakešŸ„ŗ) 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Will I be able to cut it? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 (It seems that there's a custom of inserting the knife from the bottom and going upwards so that your life goes upwards as wellā™”) 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 (That's lovelyā™”) 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 (They said they'll just give us the whole thingšŸ„¹šŸ°) 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Let's all eat this. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Thank you! 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 (Thanks!) 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Good morning. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It's our second morning here. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The weather's nice again today. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 After all of the events yesterday, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 we went to eat churrasco. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It was such a great night. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It was a lot of fun. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Actually, this morning it would've been nice 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 if I'd have been able to go to a cafe and film outside, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 but security-wise... 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Walking around Brazil alone is dangerous, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 so I'm filming once more from my hotel room. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It's apparently very dangerous for an Asian woman to walk around. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We basically can't do things alone. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We always have security with us here, including inside the venue. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We finally got to meet Brazilian fans yesterday, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and I could really tell how long they've waited. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 All of that was conveyed from their facial expressions and words. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It was really moving. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It made me glad that we came here. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 There was a girl who learned about us when we debuted when she was 12 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and is now 27 years old. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 She was like, "We finally get to meet!" and was crying. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 There were also people who had gone to Japan to see us live. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 They said things like how it was a dream come true to see SCANDAL live. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It was so moving. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It really made us happy. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I was really glad. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 If we didn't keep going, we might not have had a chance to come to Brazil. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It made me really glad. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The interviews as well. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 This is a big festival about Japanese culture such as anime, games, and music, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and draws in about 100,000 people. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We used to appear a lot at festivals like this one. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It's been a while since we've done this, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 as we had been doing many solo concerts instead, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 so it feels like it's been forever, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and it also feels nostalgic. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 There are a bunch of people in cosplay, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 but surprisingly, most people who came to see us were wearing band shirts. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I'm sure a lot of them know us from our anime songs, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and of course they like anime as well, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 but they also knew a lot of our non-anime-related songs. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I really got the impression that they know what our personalities are like 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and regularly listen to our music. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That also made me happy. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Also, the interviews... 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 A lot of questions were anime-oriented, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 but yesterday we had ones that asked us things like 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 what we think now after 17 years of being a band. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 One that I thought was really interesting was asking us about our power of influencing. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Also, I was asked about the DAISY PROJECT that I run. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I felt that they had really done their research on us 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and were interested in what we had to say. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I was very happy to see that kind of attention and love. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We communicate via an interpreter. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Portuguese--rather, Brazilian Portuguese is spoken in Brazil. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Every single word in it is long. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 If I was asked what my impression of Brazil is in Japanese, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 even such a short sentence would become a very long one. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That's why I was told to keep my answers as short as possible. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I tried to answer in Japanese that was easy to understand and precise. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I always think about things like this when we do interviews overseas, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and this time I felt it was even more important due to the length of the interview. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I want to speak in a way that conveys the subtle nuances of the conversation, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 in the same way I speak in Japan, without being too overpowering. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I always find it difficult to find the right balance between the two. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I think this is especially true for me, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 that I tend to talk a lot about feelings and nuances, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 so I wondered how much of it was being conveyed through the interpreter. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 But I tried to speak properly without being too reserved, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and I tried to not give too simple an answer 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 in the hope that it would be easy to understand. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We were asked what the most difficult thing is about songwriting. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Although we're an all-girl band that's been around for 17 years, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 you never know when something could happen. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We want to make music that we can keep playing for a long time. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 When I said that it was difficult to find the right balance, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I thought the reaction I got was a good one. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That also made me happy. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It was a very meaningful, nice day. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It was a lot of fun. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It made me even more excited for the concert today. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We're going to go to the venue, which hasn't opened yet, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and do soundcheck and rehearsals. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Then we'll do another signing and M&G. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 After that, it's time for the concert. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I'm off! 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 This is today's venue. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 This is what the live performance area looks like. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It's awesome. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Can't wait. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We're going to have rehearsals now. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I'm off! 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The other band members are in front of me. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It's really cold today. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We won't fare well in our stage outfits. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We'll get ready.
