Translation & Subtitles: thoseguiltyeyes | scandal-heaven.com[br]â €[br]Hello! RINA here.
0:00:02.654,0:00:04.289
Long time no see.
0:00:04.898,0:00:07.489
It's been a bit since I updated,
0:00:07.489,0:00:10.073
but thanks for your patience!
0:00:10.415,0:00:17.035
Today, since a certain something just arrived
0:00:17.035,0:00:18.905
and I want to show it to you guys,
0:00:18.905,0:00:20.251
I'm filming this video.
0:00:21.027,0:00:22.501
Let's get right to it.
0:00:23.808,0:00:26.133
I haven't properly unboxed it, though.
0:00:27.451,0:00:28.985
Ta-da!
0:00:30.625,0:00:31.916
Um...
0:00:33.125,0:00:36.295
I mentioned this in my previous video,
0:00:37.063,0:00:43.283
but on August 21st we celebrated our 17th anniversary,
0:00:43.283,0:00:49.889
and on that day we set the Guinness World Record
0:00:49.889,0:00:53.262
of the longest-running all-girl band.
0:00:53.411,0:00:58.168
It's a new record, so it's us who established it.
0:00:58.506,0:01:05.841
We're the longest-running all-girl band in the world with no member changes and no hiatuses.
0:01:06.709,0:01:07.796
It's amazing.
0:01:10.461,0:01:11.869
Shall I open it?
0:01:14.396,0:01:23.425
We had played a concert on August 21st, our anniversary.
0:01:23.773,0:01:25.813
Thank you to everyone who came to it!
0:01:25.854,0:01:28.294
We announced right before it that there'd be a livestream of it,
0:01:28.294,0:01:31.486
and thank you as well to those who watched it!
0:01:31.668,0:01:36.498
It made me happy - everyone's so busy, but they cared about us.
0:01:37.900,0:01:39.733
On that day...
0:01:40.033,0:01:43.394
We did put on a concert,
0:01:43.394,0:01:48.083
but the awards ceremony was the main part of this special event.
0:01:48.147,0:01:53.691
We did get this same plaque that day,
0:01:53.691,0:01:58.795
but each of us were able to also get one individually.
0:01:59.551,0:02:06.291
We got those in the other day.
0:02:06.534,0:02:10.144
They were delivered to our office, and from there I brought it home.
0:02:10.251,0:02:12.680
Where should I put it?
0:02:13.293,0:02:19.416
Where should this be displayed?
0:02:19.498,0:02:21.499
I'm still not sure.
0:02:22.248,0:02:25.648
Some of the other members had it sent to their parents' houses,
0:02:25.648,0:02:29.534
but HARUNA and I brought them home with us.
0:02:31.060,0:02:32.370
Are there reflections in it?
0:02:33.726,0:02:35.442
Here's what it looks like.
0:02:37.618,0:02:39.087
It's awesome.
0:02:41.023,0:02:42.579
It's impressive, isn't it?
0:02:43.088,0:02:44.383
Check it out.
0:02:45.296,0:02:48.399
How do I avoid showing reflections?
0:02:53.676,0:02:59.397
The details are written in English.
0:03:01.735,0:03:03.569
This is awesome.
0:03:05.720,0:03:07.427
I'm really happy.
0:03:10.273,0:03:11.717
On the day of...
0:03:12.387,0:03:14.379
I'll put this somewhere else.
0:03:14.540,0:03:16.373
Should I stand it up?
0:03:19.268,0:03:20.600
What should I do?
0:03:21.674,0:03:23.528
I don't know what's correct to do.
0:03:26.871,0:03:28.472
Is it okay here?
0:03:29.798,0:03:32.668
It's kind of hard to see, but oh well.
0:03:34.913,0:03:37.802
I want to put it a little closer.
0:03:38.947,0:03:41.105
I could also put it down here.
0:03:44.093,0:03:45.277
For now...
0:03:45.902,0:03:48.894
I'll put it in a safe spot.
0:03:53.321,0:03:54.336
Okay.
0:03:55.693,0:03:57.304
On the day of...
0:03:58.750,0:04:04.139
I went on stage not knowing at all how I was going to feel.
0:04:05.736,0:04:09.506
The event proceeded with everyone reflecting on the past
0:04:09.506,0:04:15.613
and talking about the present.
0:04:17.119,0:04:20.269
The moment we received the award,
0:04:20.269,0:04:22.699
the audience was crying,
0:04:22.699,0:04:25.709
and it brought back so many things.
0:04:25.986,0:04:28.081
I thought, "A lot of things have happened,
0:04:28.081,0:04:32.569
but the four of us didn't give up nor quit.
0:04:32.664,0:04:37.802
We've been working hard for such a long time."
0:04:38.582,0:04:43.485
I thought of how I'm so grateful
0:04:43.485,0:04:47.015
to our fans, my band mates, our staff,
0:04:47.015,0:04:49.221
and everyone close to us.
0:04:49.891,0:04:51.751
My heart was full.
0:04:51.806,0:04:54.897
I also talked about this back then,
0:04:55.829,0:05:08.627
that how we got this #1 spot was very much like us.
0:05:09.895,0:05:16.211
We may not be a band that has made any spectacular records or results,
0:05:16.211,0:05:22.291
but we never gave up and overcame many obstacles one day at a time,
0:05:22.291,0:05:27.394
and we were able to leave a record of what we had achieved.
0:05:27.537,0:05:30.537
We became the best, not because we beat anyone else,
0:05:30.537,0:05:34.507
but because of all the days we spent together.
0:05:34.538,0:05:39.528
That made me so happy and glad.
0:05:39.912,0:05:41.162
And...
0:05:42.024,0:05:44.364
It's been a month since then,
0:05:44.364,0:05:49.668
so within that time frame we've done many interviews and such.
0:05:50.579,0:05:55.219
We've had some opportunities to talk about what we're up to now,
0:05:55.219,0:06:03.250
but at any rate, what we're currently feeling is a bit of relief.
0:06:04.263,0:06:05.593
Like...
0:06:06.114,0:06:12.956
We had our sights set on achieving this record for a few years now.
0:06:13.041,0:06:17.805
It was like a dream—rather, one goal of ours.
0:06:17.885,0:06:21.265
We had been active for a long time,
0:06:21.265,0:06:27.125
so there was always a sense that we must not stop for anything,
0:06:27.125,0:06:32.674
and that we had to run through everything to get there.
0:06:33.118,0:06:36.418
We'd always been doing what we want to do, and it was fun.,
0:06:36.418,0:06:44.708
and I think it was a good pressure to feel like we were pushing ourselves,
0:06:44.708,0:06:47.668
but now that we're finally released
0:06:47.668,0:06:52.004
from the days of having a goal to achieve,
0:06:52.004,0:06:58.136
I feel a little relieved and liberated.
0:07:01.170,0:07:09.941
These past few years, aiming for that day was like the final goal we had.
0:07:10.234,0:07:15.294
So sometimes I wondered what we'd do if we burned out after that day,
0:07:15.294,0:07:18.628
or what we should do after that.
0:07:20.587,0:07:24.147
There were times I thought vaguely about that.
0:07:24.255,0:07:27.030
Even now, we don't have a clear idea of what we'll do next
0:07:27.030,0:07:32.096
or where we're heading towards.
0:07:32.236,0:07:38.859
But we're continuing to live our daily lives together,
0:07:38.859,0:07:41.897
writing new songs,
0:07:41.897,0:07:44.947
getting new songs ready.
0:07:45.052,0:07:48.552
One has already been released digitally.
0:07:49.049,0:07:52.168
Currently, we're thinking that every day will continue on like always,
0:07:52.168,0:07:57.922
with the four of us playing music together.
0:07:59.772,0:08:11.608
It'd be nice if we could find our next goal while we do this...
0:08:11.775,0:08:14.155
Well, even if we don't,
0:08:14.155,0:08:20.759
we hope to keep our minds and bodies healthy.
0:08:22.009,0:08:24.671
I really think we worked hard.
0:08:26.241,0:08:32.332
I'm very happy as a musician to have achieved this record,
0:08:32.332,0:08:34.503
but as a human being,
0:08:34.503,0:08:39.343
having done something that...
0:08:39.393,0:08:40.806
How should I put it?
0:08:41.891,0:08:45.271
Something I can really praise myself for
0:08:45.271,0:08:51.414
makes me very happy and grateful.
0:08:51.901,0:08:55.916
After the event, and the moment it hit midnight,
0:08:55.916,0:09:00.296
our new single "Highlight no Naka de Bokura Zutto" (We're Always in the Highlights)
0:09:00.296,0:09:02.051
was released on streaming sites.
0:09:02.688,0:09:05.788
I'm really glad that we decided to release it digitally
0:09:05.788,0:09:09.413
on this day, after the event was over.
0:09:09.472,0:09:15.314
By doing that, I thought to myself, "All right; we can keep going!"
0:09:15.354,0:09:18.052
It made me feel pumped up,
0:09:18.052,0:09:20.389
so I'm glad we did that.
0:09:20.578,0:09:23.128
It'll be out on CD in October.
0:09:23.199,0:09:27.459
There's a B-side song and a bonus video.
0:09:27.566,0:09:34.106
The video is about the four of us discussing our future together,
0:09:34.106,0:09:36.777
so if you'd like, please check it out.
0:09:38.272,0:09:45.038
I think this is also revealed in the title of the song,
0:09:45.678,0:09:48.850
but this song's music and lyrics were written by MAMI,
0:09:48.850,0:09:55.030
and this song expresses our past struggles
0:09:55.030,0:10:06.400
and our renewed determination to be on stage for as long as possible,
0:10:06.400,0:10:12.027
in a raw and honest way.
0:10:12.102,0:10:19.951
It's not often that we can play a song in such a way
0:10:19.951,0:10:29.411
that our feelings are released into the sound when we play it.
0:10:29.489,0:10:34.200
And when we talk about the song, we know exactly what to say about it.
0:10:35.933,0:10:37.375
Like...
0:10:39.854,0:10:42.836
After 17 years,
0:10:42.836,0:10:52.057
our feelings when we're on stage have changed a little bit at a time.
0:10:52.702,0:10:56.114
That's what we thought as we made the song.
0:10:56.652,0:10:57.832
You know...
0:10:57.872,0:11:01.112
When we first started out...
0:11:01.255,0:11:03.026
We were teenagers.
0:11:05.028,0:11:07.748
We didn't know a lot of things,
0:11:07.748,0:11:10.178
and there were a lot of things we'd never done,
0:11:10.178,0:11:12.525
so there wasn't much to be afraid of.
0:11:12.609,0:11:15.549
We were like, "Let's just go and create a stir."
0:11:15.661,0:11:21.086
That kind of momentum comes from being a kid.
0:11:21.810,0:11:25.470
Thinking about it now,
0:11:25.470,0:11:30.520
it's like we almost had nothing to burden us down.
0:11:30.768,0:11:32.487
Every year,
0:11:33.302,0:11:40.152
the feelings and thoughts that we put into each piece of work grow,
0:11:41.262,0:11:45.262
and we began to feel a sense of fragility in it.
0:11:45.769,0:11:56.145
It's like we're going up, laying down our lives little by little.
0:11:58.182,0:12:01.662
When the entrance music is playing and the four of us are huddled together,
0:12:01.662,0:12:05.822
listening to the cheers of the audience...
0:12:07.859,0:12:18.800
It's like we're giving it our all today and leaving ourselves there.
0:12:20.793,0:12:25.523
We've continued to be a band in our teens, 20s, and 30s,
0:12:25.523,0:12:28.193
and there's a goodness to each moment,
0:12:28.193,0:12:30.976
and a passion to each moment.
0:12:31.739,0:12:36.756
We've honed so many things.
0:12:37.945,0:12:44.119
As women, as musicians, and as human beings,
0:12:45.516,0:12:50.636
I feel that we're able to go out there and deliver our message in the flesh.
0:12:50.741,0:12:54.951
I think that might be the most important thing.
0:12:55.988,0:13:00.246
I personally really like the current SCANDAL.
0:13:01.449,0:13:06.613
I've always liked us, and thought we were cool.
0:13:07.043,0:13:08.811
I think we're awesome.
0:13:09.498,0:13:10.776
So...
0:13:12.496,0:13:19.736
I really hope that you'll enjoy this band together with us!
0:13:19.844,0:13:25.014
We're currently preparing and planning for our next tour,
0:13:25.014,0:13:31.717
hoping to create a good space and have some good times.
0:13:32.378,0:13:35.708
Our next tour is in October.
0:13:35.840,0:13:37.770
For this...
0:13:38.448,0:13:47.998
We'll be playing 3 shows at Zepp venues in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka.
0:13:48.358,0:13:51.273
We decided to go for only 3 shows.
0:13:51.476,0:13:56.836
This tour is celebrating the 15th anniversary of our debut.
0:13:56.961,0:14:01.591
We held a tour called "Kanshasai" (Giving Thanks) for the 10th anniversary of our debut.
0:14:02.581,0:14:07.601
We're the most surprised that that was 5 years ago,
0:14:07.601,0:14:10.031
and how fast time flies by.
0:14:12.336,0:14:16.546
When we wondered what to title this tour,
0:14:16.546,0:14:22.177
we had the idea to name it "Kanshasai vol.2."
0:14:22.931,0:14:33.364
There's a lot of courage, excitement, and determination there, too.
0:14:33.539,0:14:45.819
Hoping that we can continue to hold a "Kanshasai" tour every 5 years,
0:14:45.819,0:14:49.989
we decided to go with "Kanshasai vol.2" for the title.
0:14:50.100,0:14:56.630
I mean, next up would be during the 20th anniversary of our debut, right?
0:14:56.708,0:14:58.397
Supposing that we are able to do it.
0:14:59.277,0:15:01.037
That's crazy.
0:15:01.105,0:15:05.318
You've never seen an all-girl band do that before.
0:15:05.795,0:15:07.106
Really...
0:15:10.110,0:15:12.640
I don't know if it's okay to say this yet,
0:15:12.640,0:15:15.393
but we're currently making a new album.
0:15:15.816,0:15:20.508
When it's done, it'll be our 11th original album.
0:15:21.263,0:15:22.506
So...
0:15:23.160,0:15:25.394
Going back to what I said earlier...
0:15:25.962,0:15:28.152
We've achieved our big goal,
0:15:28.152,0:15:37.981
but we're still going to continue to create all kinds of fun things,
0:15:39.323,0:15:41.413
so I hope you'll keep watching us!
0:15:43.281,0:15:46.453
Hope you don't miss it all!
0:15:46.574,0:15:48.324
We'll be doing lots of things,
0:15:48.324,0:15:50.775
so please continue to look forward to them!
0:15:52.089,0:15:55.208
That's about it for today's video.
0:15:55.793,0:15:58.873
At any rate, I thought I'd share this news on YouTube as well
0:15:58.873,0:16:04.073
to let people know that we've set a world record!
0:16:04.149,0:16:07.419
I'll post info about our new song and other info in the description box,
0:16:07.419,0:16:10.643
so if you're interested, please check it out!
0:16:11.076,0:16:12.690
Thank you very much!
0:16:13.083,0:16:15.699
See you in my next video!
0:16:15.834,0:16:17.130
Bye bye!
