Hello! RINA here.

00:00:02.353 --> 00:00:07.643
Today's video is one where I'll be chatting at home for the first time in forever.

00:00:07.847 --> 00:00:09.807
Hasn't it been a really long time?

00:00:09.940 --> 00:00:15.890
Lately I've been filming vlogs of stuff I do when I go out,

00:00:15.890 --> 00:00:18.950
so it feels like it's been a really long time since I've done this.

00:00:19.216 --> 00:00:22.223
It feels kind of weird.

00:00:23.453 --> 00:00:25.873
I asked people to send in stuff like what's been bothering them lately,

00:00:25.873 --> 00:00:27.813
what they've been thinking about,

00:00:27.813 --> 00:00:34.510
or any large or small problems.

00:00:35.850 --> 00:00:41.010
I'll be selecting a few of those and talking about them.

00:00:41.317 --> 00:00:46.118
A lot of them overlapped.

00:00:46.542 --> 00:00:50.287
Like, there were a lot who were thinking the same thing,

00:00:50.287 --> 00:00:55.183
or worrying about the same thing.

00:00:55.551 --> 00:01:00.800
There were also a lot of things that I could relate to.

00:01:00.941 --> 00:01:06.430
It made me think that everyone really does think the same kind of things.

00:01:06.548 --> 00:01:13.818
I'll talk and answer them leisurely as we think together.

00:01:13.864 --> 00:01:16.820
(Before that...)

00:01:17.224 --> 00:01:23.728
A lot of my viewers are around my age.

00:01:23.831 --> 00:01:27.471
I'll be turning 32 this August,

00:01:27.471 --> 00:01:31.471
and mostly everyone is around that age.

00:01:31.490 --> 00:01:36.070
I felt that the problems unique to my generation

00:01:36.070 --> 00:01:40.920
and that the way you think changes with each generation.

00:01:41.035 --> 00:01:46.175
I was like, "Yeah, I guess we do think of things like that now."

00:01:47.862 --> 00:01:51.862
At any rate, I'll start reading from the first screenshot I took.

00:01:52.907 --> 00:02:00.886
"This is my third year in the workforce. Every day is like a routine, and it seems like every year there's less and less fun things to do."

00:02:01.826 --> 00:02:02.973
Right?

00:02:03.086 --> 00:02:04.922
Like...

00:02:05.574 --> 00:02:14.357
You have to go to work every day and come home.

00:02:14.507 --> 00:02:19.047
I've always been in the music scene,

00:02:20.068 --> 00:02:22.418
and I think it's a job that involves meeting new people

00:02:22.418 --> 00:02:29.016
and doing things in new places relatively often.

00:02:29.164 --> 00:02:34.624
If you look at it roughly, the process is very similar.

00:02:34.663 --> 00:02:39.893
We make new music, promote it, tour,

00:02:39.893 --> 00:02:42.503
tour while making new music,

00:02:42.503 --> 00:02:46.683
and record that music after touring.

00:02:47.047 --> 00:02:50.025
It's a very luxurious way of life,

00:02:51.294 --> 00:02:55.324
but I totally understand [situations like the question asker].

00:02:55.419 --> 00:03:01.824
So, if you ask people around you how to keep things fresh,

00:03:03.293 --> 00:03:11.338
I think there'll come a time when they'll say it's difficult to do.

00:03:11.858 --> 00:03:17.905
So I think the only way to do that is to learn something new,

00:03:19.156 --> 00:03:21.654
or find something you like to do,

00:03:21.988 --> 00:03:24.961
or study something new as an adult.

00:03:25.396 --> 00:03:27.454
In that sense,

00:03:27.454 --> 00:03:33.044
sometimes you have no choice but to renew yourself.

00:03:33.207 --> 00:03:41.617
For me, how I should edit a video is different from what I'd do with music.

00:03:41.751 --> 00:03:46.379
I'm not saying that it feels really fresh right now,

00:03:47.088 --> 00:03:49.598
but when I went to French school,

00:03:49.598 --> 00:03:54.122
it really felt like I was off to a new start.

00:03:54.995 --> 00:03:57.335
Also, I did a video about this,

00:03:57.335 --> 00:04:01.169
about how I've been doing Pilates to work out and refresh myself.

00:04:01.950 --> 00:04:05.950
Every day, recently—it's really a recent thing—

00:04:06.728 --> 00:04:12.358
I've been trying to spend an hour a day

00:04:12.358 --> 00:04:17.328
studying something that has nothing to do with my lifestyle or work.

00:04:18.846 --> 00:04:20.166
Maybe do something like that.

00:04:20.435 --> 00:04:23.859
I think you have to get things going on your own.

00:04:24.112 --> 00:04:31.079
It's impossible to have someone else provide you with a fresh environment every day.

00:04:31.931 --> 00:04:33.231
It takes time,

00:04:33.231 --> 00:04:36.912
but in the end, I think the only thing you can do

00:04:37.167 --> 00:04:40.427
is to make new moves on your own.

00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:41.750
On to the next question.

00:04:41.971 --> 00:04:46.968
"I haven't had any feelings of love for a man for more than 5 years now."

00:04:47.205 --> 00:04:48.488
I see.

00:04:49.277 --> 00:04:51.931
It's like, "What does it mean to love, anyway?"

00:04:55.581 --> 00:04:56.943
Love, huh.

00:04:57.491 --> 00:04:59.726
The power of love is incredible.

00:04:59.852 --> 00:05:02.205
It can make you do your best at anything.

00:05:06.338 --> 00:05:10.054
The moment you fall in love with someone,

00:05:10.054 --> 00:05:11.944
or the time frame when you do,

00:05:11.944 --> 00:05:14.544
is really awesome.

00:05:15.722 --> 00:05:23.122
But sometimes I think that if I could learn to make myself happy,

00:05:23.122 --> 00:05:27.837
I would truly be invincible.

00:05:28.222 --> 00:05:34.592
Some might think that sounds really lonely,

00:05:34.592 --> 00:05:39.830
but at any rate, maybe I'm just trying to be someone

00:05:39.830 --> 00:05:43.939
who can have fun on their own.

00:05:44.690 --> 00:05:47.617
I think there are a lot of things I'm not doing well, though.

00:05:49.148 --> 00:05:57.158
Maybe there's someone you'd have fun with and feel fulfilled by

00:05:57.158 --> 00:05:59.788
and you'd like to be with them,

00:05:59.788 --> 00:06:02.613
or maybe there's someone who's attracted to you.

00:06:02.648 --> 00:06:09.488
If you're mentally open like that,

00:06:09.488 --> 00:06:16.639
you might have a better chance of meeting someone.

00:06:16.919 --> 00:06:21.439
But, well, as you get older,

00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:26.819
it feels like you're less likely to have people that you're attracted to.

00:06:26.946 --> 00:06:29.896
Or rather, the number lessens.

00:06:30.005 --> 00:06:32.595
There's more and more to consider.

00:06:32.908 --> 00:06:40.388
So it'd be nice if you could make yourself as happy as possible

00:06:40.388 --> 00:06:43.364
and have good encounters and feelings of love

00:06:43.364 --> 00:06:47.238
appear somewhere along the way, wouldn't it?

00:06:47.292 --> 00:06:48.488
I totally get you.

00:06:48.596 --> 00:06:50.641
I totally understand this situation.

00:06:50.704 --> 00:06:57.419
"I often wonder how I and my family will live in the future. I'm filled with anxiety."

00:06:58.908 --> 00:07:01.345
Family, huh...

00:07:01.587 --> 00:07:03.269
Yeah...

00:07:04.110 --> 00:07:08.970
I'm the eldest out of five kids.

00:07:10.458 --> 00:07:12.823
My mom was a single mother.

00:07:13.056 --> 00:07:17.805
I also played the father role in the family.

00:07:17.934 --> 00:07:21.244
That's why I do a lot of thinking.

00:07:21.363 --> 00:07:28.075
Like wondering how we can all ultimately be happy.

00:07:29.006 --> 00:07:32.966
Since I love my job, there are times when I'm like,

00:07:32.966 --> 00:07:39.056
"I need to work hard and earn money."

00:07:39.406 --> 00:07:42.135
That's not the only thing, though.

00:07:43.620 --> 00:07:48.350
There are definitely times when I feel anxious

00:07:48.350 --> 00:07:53.946
because my family is one I have to support properly.

00:07:54.084 --> 00:07:59.033
Since this person might not have the same circumstances as me,

00:07:59.033 --> 00:08:01.791
they may be feeling a different kind of anxiety.

00:08:02.041 --> 00:08:04.411
But I definitely feel that way sometimes, too.

00:08:04.630 --> 00:08:13.080
I hope we can keep the band going for as long and healthy as possible,

00:08:13.080 --> 00:08:16.761
but I wonder how I would be able live my life

00:08:16.761 --> 00:08:24.815
if something difficult happened to me, such as my health declining.

00:08:25.331 --> 00:08:32.241
It's no good if I can't look after my family.

00:08:32.274 --> 00:08:34.654
What I should do at that time...

00:08:35.112 --> 00:08:38.342
This is not a negative thing in terms of the band at all,

00:08:38.342 --> 00:08:43.412
but something I think about level-headedly as a human being.

00:08:43.457 --> 00:08:47.317
Sometimes it's hard to find the answer,

00:08:47.317 --> 00:08:50.457
and I get anxious and scared.

00:08:50.730 --> 00:08:57.233
But in the end, I feel like I have no choice but to do what's in front of me.

00:08:57.710 --> 00:09:00.150
But I totally get that about family.

00:09:00.328 --> 00:09:03.436
It's because you care about them so much that you're worried.

00:09:03.887 --> 00:09:05.112
I understand.

00:09:06.704 --> 00:09:09.651
I also play the father figure financially.

00:09:11.297 --> 00:09:16.831
I've been paying for my sisters' tuitions all this time.

00:09:18.093 --> 00:09:22.639
I pay all the rent and living expenses at my parents' house.

00:09:23.643 --> 00:09:31.883
Sometimes I feel like it's hard to talk about money with others.

00:09:33.314 --> 00:09:39.578
I think that instability there would have a huge impact on one's mental health.

00:09:41.297 --> 00:09:42.948
For me too...

00:09:45.462 --> 00:09:49.934
But there's no choice but to work hard, ultimately.

00:09:51.893 --> 00:09:55.092
There's no choice but for me to do it.

00:09:55.337 --> 00:10:05.427
I think that's why I've been able to stay motivated and try all kinds of things.

00:10:05.461 --> 00:10:11.043
Sometimes I wonder if I'd be able to work this hard if it was just for me.

00:10:12.035 --> 00:10:14.564
Sometimes it can be an anxiety factor.

00:10:14.916 --> 00:10:22.290
I think that knowing there's something you need to protect can be motivating.

00:10:22.642 --> 00:10:27.730
"Human relations and communication in the workplace are difficult, aren't they?"

00:10:29.757 --> 00:10:31.729
They are difficult.

00:10:32.713 --> 00:10:34.941
In my case...

00:10:38.199 --> 00:10:45.678
The band's been together since we were young.

00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.777
We have a very special bond.

00:10:53.739 --> 00:10:59.549
So it's a very difficult relationship to explain in words.

00:10:59.603 --> 00:11:07.193
But each one of us is an individual person,

00:11:07.193 --> 00:11:12.333
and although we're friends who have been playing music together as a band for a long time,

00:11:12.333 --> 00:11:16.693
we are also our own person.

00:11:16.755 --> 00:11:19.205
I think it's good to be involved

00:11:19.205 --> 00:11:27.335
while maintaining a good sense of distance and emotional space.

00:11:27.412 --> 00:11:31.822
That's why we've been able to support each other

00:11:31.822 --> 00:11:34.332
and be a band for such a long time.

00:11:35.196 --> 00:11:37.546
In that way...

00:11:39.067 --> 00:11:49.401
I think I've been adjusting and thinking about it a lot more since we've grown up.

00:11:49.889 --> 00:11:53.961
But the relationship between us is a bit too special,

00:11:53.961 --> 00:11:56.359
so this may not be helpful to others.

00:11:56.603 --> 00:12:03.273
Also, we have close relationships to those at our management office and record label.

00:12:03.310 --> 00:12:08.164
I think that's the main thing about interpersonal relationships at work in my case.

00:12:09.688 --> 00:12:11.932
But that might also be a special case.

00:12:12.140 --> 00:12:15.120
I think it depends on the office,

00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:22.914
but in our case, we are very close, like a family.

00:12:24.678 --> 00:12:34.466
At this time, I really want to separate and cherish my private life, in a good way,

00:12:34.466 --> 00:12:41.728
so, honestly, I think there are more things we don't mention or talk about with each other than before.

00:12:41.818 --> 00:12:44.679
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

00:12:45.476 --> 00:12:50.798
That's why I think our relationships keep changing.

00:12:50.995 --> 00:12:54.637
You yourself change as well.

00:12:54.774 --> 00:13:02.482
It'd be good if we could all communicate what we need to convey,

00:13:02.482 --> 00:13:05.572
maintain a good distance,

00:13:05.572 --> 00:13:11.312
and build relationships at work while protecting ourselves.

00:13:11.386 --> 00:13:22.806
I've never really experienced what it's like to have a boss and subordinates like in a company,

00:13:22.806 --> 00:13:25.559
so I probably don't understand all of that properly.

00:13:25.769 --> 00:13:28.322
I don't think I know anything about it.

00:13:29.644 --> 00:13:35.554
I can imagine it, but I'm sure there are things you won't understand unless you're there experiencing it,

00:13:35.554 --> 00:13:39.475
so I don't think I can say anything adequate.

00:13:39.987 --> 00:13:42.003
I'm sure it must be hard.

00:13:43.226 --> 00:13:46.468
It's really commendable. It really is.

00:13:49.180 --> 00:13:51.040
I think that's impressive.

00:13:51.596 --> 00:13:55.673
We also speak really casually to the head of our office.

00:13:56.641 --> 00:13:59.045
That's what it's like [where we are].

00:13:59.278 --> 00:14:01.128
That's how close we are.

00:14:01.229 --> 00:14:04.721
But I'm sure that doesn't happen very often.

00:14:06.617 --> 00:14:10.693
That's why there are so many things that I can't even imagine.

00:14:11.611 --> 00:14:16.471
But there's a part of me that believes that if you truly convey something properly,

00:14:16.471 --> 00:14:21.167
it will get through to everyone.

00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:23.017
Yeah.

00:14:23.723 --> 00:14:28.866
It'd be nice to be involved without it being too difficult.

00:14:30.382 --> 00:14:31.871
Here's a cute question.

00:14:31.902 --> 00:14:38.411
"I'm going to Tokyo Disneyland for the first time in forever. I'm so unsure what to eat at the park."

00:14:38.812 --> 00:14:40.523
That's so cute.

00:14:40.634 --> 00:14:41.854
So tranquil.

00:14:41.907 --> 00:14:43.277
Disney's great.

00:14:43.319 --> 00:14:45.559
I also went recently with a friend.

00:14:45.637 --> 00:14:47.353
It might have been a while ago, actually.

00:14:47.785 --> 00:14:49.095
It was fun.

00:14:49.273 --> 00:14:51.841
I always have to have a churro.

00:14:51.886 --> 00:14:53.119
It's delicious.

00:14:53.889 --> 00:14:55.653
Please have fun!

00:14:55.857 --> 00:14:57.386
They might have already gone.

00:14:58.803 --> 00:15:03.807
"I get emotional easily and regret it later."

00:15:06.606 --> 00:15:07.838
I get you.

00:15:08.890 --> 00:15:10.720
I totally get you.

00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:17.451
Because you value something and have passion for it...

00:15:18.443 --> 00:15:26.144
Your words become strong, fast, and sharp.

00:15:26.530 --> 00:15:28.560
Because, you know...

00:15:31.349 --> 00:15:37.156
I don't think it's possible to be emotional without passion.

00:15:37.657 --> 00:15:40.785
You know you'll regret it,

00:15:41.512 --> 00:15:45.695
and you'll probably hate yourself for being that way.

00:15:46.328 --> 00:15:49.638
I think it's great to be able to change things in creative ways,

00:15:49.638 --> 00:15:56.548
but I think it's really great to have something you're passionate about,

00:15:56.548 --> 00:15:59.228
something you can put your heart and soul into,

00:15:59.228 --> 00:16:02.725
to the point where it's something really emotional for you.

00:16:03.447 --> 00:16:06.348
I'm totally the same way.

00:16:06.469 --> 00:16:11.986
I'm totally like that when I talk about the band.

00:16:12.520 --> 00:16:13.581
Yeah.

00:16:14.647 --> 00:16:18.208
There are lots of times when I wonder why I said something in a certain way,

00:16:18.589 --> 00:16:24.881
or how I could have communicated it better.

00:16:26.297 --> 00:16:36.245
That's why sometimes I try talking about that topic one more time.

00:16:38.839 --> 00:16:42.959
Yeah, there are many times when you can't apologize properly.

00:16:43.730 --> 00:16:51.293
That's when you reaffirm that you are passionate about it.

00:16:53.722 --> 00:16:56.739
It's been a long time.

00:16:57.803 --> 00:17:01.351
But yeah, in that way...

00:17:01.413 --> 00:17:08.602
I think it's great when there are things that you can really get emotionally attached to.

00:17:08.800 --> 00:17:14.260
So I think it would be good if we could talk about the things we want to change,

00:17:14.260 --> 00:17:17.090
even if it's just a little bit at a time,

00:17:17.090 --> 00:17:26.017
or about the things we think we did wrong that we can make up for later,

00:17:26.017 --> 00:17:28.418
even if it's after the fact.

00:17:28.475 --> 00:17:32.695
I'm sure there will be times when they'll understand,

00:17:32.695 --> 00:17:36.442
and you'll feel better, too.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"I'm tired of comparing my life with my friends all the time."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Looking at social media, right?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You subsciously compare things.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Isn't that the same for everyone?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If there are accounts that make you feel bad when you see their posts,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think it's fine if you mute them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In regards to social media, that is.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I wonder if there are times when they do comparisons during conversations.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Because everything in your life is something you've experienced yourself,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think there are times when you feel like there are no improvements in your life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I feel like there are so many cases where someone's life is insanely special from someone else's perspective.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You're like, "That's not what my life's like."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm sure there's a lot of things you don't realize,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like the parts that other people envy and think are amazing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In fact, I think it might happen in your own life too.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"I'm a 24-year-old woman. I'm going out with someone 12 years older than me, and it's hard to keep up because my money sense differs."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Maybe you should talk to them about this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You're dating, after all.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's better that the two of you talk about it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
For the long run, as well.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think it'd be a good idea to honestly discuss what you had written to me.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"I'm going overseas for a year soon for work, and I'm wondering if I should go out with someone I like right now."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You mean it'd end up being a long-distance relationship, right?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think it's fine to go out with them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Surprisingly, a year goes by so quickly.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They could go overseas if they want.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can call each other and stay in touch.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Maybe I'm the type of person who doesn't think of distance as a problem.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think it's a good thing when two people like and are attracted to each other.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It might not be easy to see each other,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but what about when you are living in the same country?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
However, I think there's a possibility it'll become a special time that you can say afterwards was a good time.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think it's really cool when women work hard for a year overseas like this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ah, I got one of these questions.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Now that I'm at the age where I have friends who are getting married or living together, I feel anxious even though I've never been in a relationship."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yeah.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Almost all of the questions I got are like this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When I ask for questions, most of them are like this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's really no way to solve this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Everyone is different, so there's no need to worry.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But it is true that when you think about your body and such,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's natural that you feel like you're counting backwards, especially for women.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm sure there will be a lot of things to think about, like whether you'd have a baby or not.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I get it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm wondering what's going to happen to me too, really.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
With that in mind...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But there's always so much to do in front of me.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Just because I take a break doesn't mean I'm getting married.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I've been in my band for a long time.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yeah, I don't know anymore.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But my married friends say that it's really all about timing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A lot of people say they never thought it would be like this,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I also think that's how it must be.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, to rewind a bit,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm the type of person who thinks it's better to have a foundation where I'm fine even if I'm all alone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'd like to be able to live a normal and happy life on my own,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and then go out with someone or not, get married or not.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's like we'll have new kind of fun when we're together.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's what I feel right now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's what I'm feeling now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But I get you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Isn't it the same for everyone?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So don't think you're the only one.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Make yourself happy by thinking that you're not in any particular hurry.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It doesn't have to be fun all the time.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think it would be nice to have that, to be able to live somehow in a good way.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Marriage is not the ultimate goal.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then there's a lot of new and difficult things to do.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"This is about interior design preferences. I just moved, so I'm unsure of what to do. RINA, what theme do you have at your place?"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Oh, they moved? It's fun to design new places.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I kind of like antique vibes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I go to flea markets.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I got that mirror in back of me at a flea market.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I've bought antiques in Europe,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like that picture frame next to [the mirror].

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I've bought stuff from vintage shops in Osaka.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I go to stores like that when we go overseas on tour.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I've bought lamps and such.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hold on a sec.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This one.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I bought this recently.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I bought this in Paris recently.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I collect stuff from various places while traveling.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Something like that.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Also, my sofa is beige.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
My tables are also mostly beige.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Beige might be my go-to color.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Beige.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Beige in color.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ah, this one...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"If I can't congratulate my bias on their marriage, would I be semi-disqualified [as a fan] because I love them too much?"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ah, but...yeah...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is shocking,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when fans are suddenly informed like that.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're all human, of course.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Even if you understand that they're in love and has a private life, it's still shocking, I'm sure.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You've been supporting them with your time and money for a long time.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I don't think that disqualifies you as a fan.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm sure there are people who feel that way.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But things like that are not something you can control.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The artists as well.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's someone's life, and they are free to choose to do things as they see fit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But I totally understand.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I get it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I wonder if fans would congratulate me if I got married.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All of the questions from here on are about marriage.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Can I be happy without getting married?"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"I don't think I need to get married, but everyone I know is in a rush to get married."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"After meeting more than 30 people on a dating app, no matter how much I think about it, I prefer my ex-girlfriend. I'm already heartbroken."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But you worked really hard.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You made a change and took action.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's impressive,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
meeting over 30 people.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It takes a lot of power to meet people, doesn't it?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You're meeting someone for the first time, and you've done it 30 times.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's impressive.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I see.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Your ex-girlfriend.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is difficult.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you have high expectations, you might end up hurting yourself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But why not try talking [to your ex] just once?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you're able to.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You could just meet up.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you really think you can't handle it anymore, why not confess your feelings?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I really feel like that could help sort some things out.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I feel like just properly conveying your feelings would make a difference.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I hope you meet someone good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"I'll be quitting my job tomorrow. I'm in the process of looking for a new job, but I'm not sure if I'll find a good one."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's great.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have a girl friend who recently decided to change jobs.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're about the same age.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She doesn't have a clear idea of what she wants to do or what she wants to do next,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so it's difficult for her to choose a company.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She's single, but I've heard that there aren't many companies that'll hire a woman in her 30s

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
who might get married soon and quit, or who might get pregnant and quit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's also tough.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was just thinking how difficult that is.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She applied to a lot of places, and x

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
x

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Before that happened, I got a call from her.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
She was crying, asking what she should do.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was also panicking.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But I listened to her, and she told me all of this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So I know it's a real pain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
x

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So I hope you can get through this and do your best now

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so that your future self can feel at ease.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I don't know what a good place would look like for you,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I hope you find a company where you can demonstrate your full potential and feel at ease.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"I started playing the drums this year but can't play them very well."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's totally fine.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then you've been playing for a little over half a year.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's normal to have trouble drumming well at first, so it's okay.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
An instrument is something you practice for your whole life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you stop even for a little, you'll decline.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[The drums] are really interesting and a lot of work,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
since the sound comes directly from them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Keep having fun as you continue playing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I hope you continue having fun while making changes, such as covering your favorite songs,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
playing louder, or changing your settings up.

"What do you think about one's boyfriend hanging out with other girls? I'm getting a little tired of my friends and boyfriend being in contact with each other so much."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There were a lot of questions from people having trouble with their significant others.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So let's talk about it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You're in a relationship, so you want to be able to talk about

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the good things and the bad things with the person you're with.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
x

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think it's best to convey that with love.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's better to talk about it than deny it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
x

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I don't know how long I've been talking.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's been over 40 minutes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How will I put it all together?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was a lot of fun to be able to talk about everyday life with you guys.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was nice.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Even if I don't get an answer, just being able to talk to people like this, even if it's through a screen.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I really felt like we're living in the same era and in the same way.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Everyone worries about similar things.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You're not alone, so don't worry too much about things like this or feel anxious.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Of course, the opposite is also good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I hope we can keep talking like this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
At any rate, if you're able to get through x, you'll be fine.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Thanks so much for watching to the end.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
See you in my next video!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Bye bye!
