Hello! RINA here.
Today's video is one where I'll be chatting at home for the first time in forever.
Hasn't it been a really long time?
Lately I've been filming vlogs of stuff I do when I go out,
so it makes me feel that it's been a really long time since I've done this.
It feels kind of weird.
I asked people to send in stuff like what's been bothering them lately,
what they've been thinking about,
or any large or small problems.
I'll be selecting a few of those and talking about them.
A lot of them overlapped.
Like, there were a lot who were thinking the same thing,
or worrying about the same thing.
There were also a lot of things that I could relate to.
It made me think that everyone really does think the same kind of things.
I'll talk and answer them leisurely as we think together.
(Before that...)
A lot of my viewers are around the same age as me.
I'll be turning 32 in August,
and mostly everyone is around that age.
I felt that the problems unique to my generation
and that the way you think changes with each generation.
I was like, "Yeah, I guess [people my age] do think of things like that now."
At any rate, I'll start reading from the first screenshot I took.
"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."
Right?
Like...
You have to go to work every day and come home.
I've always been in the music scene,
and I think it's a job that involves meeting new people
and doing things in new places relatively often.
If you look at it roughly, the process is very similar.
We make new music, promote it, tour,
tour while making new music,
and record that music after touring.
It's a very luxurious way of life,
but I totally understand [situations like the question asker].
So, if you ask people around you how to keep things fresh,
I think there will come a time when it will be a little difficult.
So I think the only way to do that is to learn something new,
or find something you like to do,
or study something new as an adult.
In that sense, sometimes you have no choice but to become someone new.
For me, how I should edit a video is different from what I'd do with music.
I'm not saying that right now it feels really fresh,
but when I went to French school,
it really felt like I was off to a new start.
Also, as I mentioned in my video about this,
I've been doing Pilates to work out and refresh myself.
Recently, every day--it's really a recent thing--
I've been trying to spend an hour a day
studying something that has nothing to do with my lifestyle or work.
Maybe do something like that.
I think you have to get things going on your own.
It's impossible to prepare a fresh environment every day.
Yeah, it takes time,
but in the end, I think the only thing you can do
is to make a new move on your own.
On to the next question.
"II haven't had any feelings of love for a man for more than 5 years now."
I see.
It's like, "What does it mean to love, anyway?"
Love, huh.
The power of love is incredible.
It can make you do anything.
The moment you fall in love with someone,
or the period of time,
is really a great thing.
But sometimes I think that if I could make myself happy,
I would really be invincible.
Someone might think I'm really lonely,
but I try to be myself and have fun on my own.
At any rate, I think I try to be the kind of person
who can have fun by myself.
I'm sure I'm not doing it very well, though.
If you're having a good time and you're feeling fulfilled,
maybe there's someone you'd like to be with
or someone you'd be attracted to.
If you're mentally open like that,
you might have a better chance of meeting someone.
But as you get older,
it feels like you're less likely to have people that you like.
Or rather, the number lessens.
There's more and more to consider.
So it'd be nice if you could make yourself as happy as possible
and have good encounters and feelings of love
appear somewhere along the way, wouldn't it?
I totally get you.
I totally understand this situation.
"I often wonder how I and my family will live in the future. I'm filled with anxiety."
Family, huh...
Yeah...
I'm the eldest out of five kids.
My mom was a single mother.
I also played the father role in the family.
That's why I do a lot of thinking.
