Translation & Subtitles: thoseguiltyeyes | scandal-heaven.com Good morning! Long time no see!
I haven't posted any YouTube videos at all - sorry about that!
I had a lot of free time in my schedule in February.
There were a lot of gaps in our schedule.
Like, we'd have three days off out of the week.
I took it easy.
I wanted to film something,
but I took a break.
Taking a break is important.
And March started.
Since our tour is starting,
we're having rehearsals every day.
Today, I'll be going to rehearsals soon.
Which day is it?
Today's the sixth day.
The sixth day of rehearsals.
I'm going to drink some protein powder.
Recently, I've started drinking protein powder every morning again.
It's something I look forward to in the mornings.
Also, I eat fruit every day.
Like strawberries.
When we have rehearsals several days in a row,
your body gets all worn out.
It's really hard to get up in the mornings.
It gets like that.
And like...
When you have something to look forward to eating or drinking,
it motivates you to get up.
Rehearsals are fun, though.
They're fun, but...
Your body gets all worn out.
The weather's gotten really warm.
It makes me happy.
By the way, the protein powder I'm using is...
This.
I'm drinking this one produced by Yukos (Yuko Sugamoto).
There was a time a while back when I was drinking a different thing every day.
I started it back up for the first time in forever.
I just felt like it.
It gets me going, and it's delicious.
Have you guys been doing well?
Have things been peaceful?
Please leave a comment with whatever you'd like.
It's really fun reading YouTube comments.
I occasionally reply to comments at random.
It's really interesting to have conversations that could only be had on YouTube.
Thanks as always!
Let's eat.
It's matcha-flavored.
It's past noon now.
12:17 pm.
MAMI will be picking me up at 12:30.
I'm really grateful.
Today's Monday, huh.
I was talking about this with MAMI yesterday,
that not having a sense for what day of the week it is, is crazy.
Like, I have no idea when it's a holiday.
We were like, that won't do.
Regardless of it being a day off or having a live performance,
I really don't know what day of the week it is.
On Mondays...
"Shiitake Uranai (horoscope)" is always posted,
so it makes me go, "Ah, it's Monday."
I'll read my Shiitake Uranai horoscope.
Do you guys read Shiitake Uranai?
Doesn't it really cheer you up?
I really like it.
It's really nice.
Nice horoscopes are good.
You usually get hurt by them.
Usually you're shocked/hurt by them.
I'm a Leo since I was born on August 21st.
I'll read it later.
We had Shuhei Shimada (comedian and fortune-teller) do palmistry for us at the end of last year.
It was for a video for our fan club.
He did palmistry for each of us
as well as divining for the band's formation day.
He looked at the fortune of the band as a whole.
He told us, "SCANDAL hasn't had their major debut yet."
That was shocking.
Like we haven't... What was it again?
He said that we hadn't had our major debut yet.
That's what he divined.
Then...
Next year, I think?
He said that next year, we'll be rewarded for everything that we've accumulated in the past 7 years.
That was like, really real.
It shocked me. It was really interesting.
We haven't debuted yet, huh...
Even though we're in our 16th year.
We laughed so much.
We haven't yet debuted yet and are too stoic.
I was like, I totally get it.
We have a filmographer named Chie Okazawa that has been filming us for everything since our debut.
On the band's official YouTube channel we had a documentary series called "her" Diary,
and she's the one who filmed those.
Because of that, I was wondering what to do with my personal channel.
If she films the band all the time, then my videos will be similar.
I didn't know what content to do.
Ideally, I want to do videos that are like a diary,
and where I can just chat about stuff.
And like...
It's difficult.
Since I'm filming today for the first time in a while,
I might have some...
Things to talk about.
I might have some.
I might not, though.
Good job.
I'll work hard today too.
I'll do the dishes after I get back.
MAMI's here.
I'm kind of all over the place today.
Why is that?
This is my first time I'm filming in a while, though.
I suddenly thought last night to film today.
Hold on a sec.
I'll do my best today!
I can't wait for the tour!
I'm off to the studio!
36°C / 96.8°F.
We're at the studio now.
We've been here every day.
This is the last day,
so we'll be doing a pass from beginning to end,
and then doing a final check.
It feels like these are going to be insanely new live performances.
I think it'll be a really fresh tour, and fun in a different way than before.
(Sorry about the angle) It's going to be very interesting.
The melodies have changed,
but...
How do I put it?
They're going to be spectacular performances different from before.
Things have changed a lot these past two years.
I think the band--or rather, our music
and who we are have changed quite a bit from before.
Has it been two years?
It's been four years since our last hall tour.
That's why it feels like it's been forever.
I'm filming my first YouTube video in forever.
Speaking of YouTube, you always shoot stuff for our channel, Chie.
I'm unsure of how to separate my personal videos from the videos of the four of us on our channel.
But I think they're completely different things.
But aside from that, that concept of deciding when to film is in itself something completely different.
I see.
-Even if I'm recording at the same time, for example. -Exactly.
It's a completely different thing worth seeing.
At any rate, I'll just film.
I'm going to look at my Shiitake Uranai horoscope.
-Today's Shiitake Uranai? -Yeah.
I always look forward to Mondays.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
"There will be a white color related to 'paying a visit.'
This week is also a time of turning points and gaps.
This is a time to easily get rid of those time gaps a bit,
and there are also some parts that are better to get rid of.
First, what you want to do this week is to pay some kind of visit."
It's talking about our tour!
I think it's okay to think about it like that.
"It's also necessary to move slightly away from your daily routine of 'I have to do this' and 'I have to do that,'
and think about the new season by going shopping or the like."
-Good morning. -Good morning.
(Second time) It's talking about the tour, I think.
"It's time to relax a bit and let the wind outside blow on you,
but you also have to concentrate and work hard at key points."
Our world tour.
This'll make me work hard.
Shiitake's so nice.
(Stop being so informal)
-Which one? -This.
Yeah, I think it's really awesome.
It got hard to understand after we switched out all our monitors.
-Then I put in my in-ears... -The kick drum gets a little softer.
It's good for balance, but it makes the kick drum softer.
If you would.
Hokkaido.
Hokkaido?
Fukuoka.
Sendai.
They're all good places.
-Good morning! -Good morning!
First, let's check the songs.
If you would.
Oh? There's no one here.
There's no one there.
Good work! Thanks!
We're heading home.
-We're going home. -We'll do our best on tour!
Please come out!
Good work!
The first song is ___
and then, ___
____ will make everyone dance.
That's what it'll be like, so we'd like for you to hear it.
You'll have to bleep all of that out.
This'll be a pain to edit!
That's true.
If you would.
Good work!
Bye bye!
I'm home.
I'm back at home.
We worked hard all day today.
The usual spot.
It was really...
I'm immediately speaking right after getting home.
It's looking to be a good tour. I can't wait!
Like...
When you have something to look forward to,
you can work hard at doing the things you need to do every day.
It's nice to make exciting plans, even if it's something small.
That's what I think.
It'd be nice if our concerts and music were a part of that for you guys.
Those who are thinking of coming out to a concert,
even if it's just a small inkling,
I'd love for you guys to come.
Let's see each other.
Planning to see each other...
Make that the next thing to look forward to.
Thanks for watching today's video!
Bye bye!
My nail polish is really chipped.
i'd love to go get them done soon.
