(I'm really scheming here) 00:01:07.192 --> 00:01:10.612 These are things that I haven't had a chance to ask you. 00:01:10.774 --> 00:01:13.714 What was your first impression of SCANDAL? 00:01:15.994 --> 00:01:18.969 -Is it really okay to be honest? -Yes, it is. 00:01:19.435 --> 00:01:21.615 My actual first impression... 00:01:21.615 --> 00:01:25.599 -was that you guys were a little risqué. -Seriously?! 00:01:25.809 --> 00:01:27.710 -Is that so? -Yeah. 00:01:28.096 --> 00:01:30.419 When did that impression change? 00:01:31.136 --> 00:01:32.716 Let's see... 00:01:32.758 --> 00:01:36.128 -When you appeared on M STATION... -Ah, when we were still wearing school uniforms? 00:01:36.128 --> 00:01:37.388 I think so. 00:01:37.476 --> 00:01:41.476 At that time, I thought, "Ah, they're adorable." 00:01:41.538 --> 00:01:43.318 Eh, really? 00:01:43.417 --> 00:01:49.337 I first thought that you guys were really adorable ladies performing as a band, 00:01:49.745 --> 00:01:53.325 so my first impression was that you guys were a little risqué. Sorry about that. 00:01:53.376 --> 00:01:56.097 -That's honestly what I thought. -Yeah, I did tell you to be honest. 00:01:56.199 --> 00:02:01.329 Now that we know each other better, what image do you have of us now? 00:02:01.399 --> 00:02:06.679 Rather than really cute ladies performing as a band, 00:02:06.679 --> 00:02:11.363 I now see you as ladies who are in a band that are really cute. 00:02:12.182 --> 00:02:13.643 Like... 00:02:15.069 --> 00:02:19.565 We get to talk to each other backstage at festivals. 00:02:19.619 --> 00:02:23.120 You come up to talk to us a lot, 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.518 and I really think there are very few musicians who are like that. 00:02:26.518 --> 00:02:30.808 -Ah, really? -Since the four of us [in SCANDAL] are often all together, 00:02:30.808 --> 00:02:35.348 I think there are times when seems hard to talk to us. 00:02:35.381 --> 00:02:39.017 Despite that, we've gotten very buddy-buddy with you. 00:02:39.017 --> 00:02:40.530 It really makes me happy. 00:02:40.590 --> 00:02:46.750 Originally I had met MAMI when [our friends] would go out to drink. 00:02:46.750 --> 00:02:47.514 Ah, that's right. 00:02:47.514 --> 00:02:52.644 -You've gone out to eat with MAMI many times. -Yeah, a bunch of us do that and go out to drink. 00:02:52.732 --> 00:02:56.131 MAMI doesn't drink that much. 00:02:56.131 --> 00:02:58.576 She doesn't do that well with it. 00:02:58.713 --> 00:03:03.057 Not sure how well she takes it. (I've never seen her like that, but I totally imagine it) 00:03:03.311 --> 00:03:07.326 She's always been resolute. 00:03:07.526 --> 00:03:10.406 It was 3 am, 00:03:10.406 --> 00:03:12.396 and when I asked her, "Will you be okay tomorrow?" 00:03:12.396 --> 00:03:14.089 "Don't you have to get up early?" 00:03:14.089 --> 00:03:16.293 She was like, "Well, I'm playing at Budokan tomorrow." 00:03:16.293 --> 00:03:18.610 I was like, "What?! Budokan?!" 00:03:18.610 --> 00:03:21.460 -Wow. -"Tomorrow?!" 00:03:21.526 --> 00:03:24.896 I was like, "You're drinking at this time when you're playing Budokan tomorrow?!" 00:03:24.896 --> 00:03:29.352 I asked her that, 00:03:29.515 --> 00:03:34.625 and she was like, "I've practiced to death, so I'll totally be fine no matter how much I drink." 00:03:34.625 --> 00:03:37.535 -She really said that?! -She did. (This was a story from 10 years ago,) 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.817 That made me go, "Wow, that's so cool!" (and she's since aged out of that phase) 00:03:40.979 --> 00:03:43.959 I thought she was a really cool person. 00:03:44.059 --> 00:03:48.419 That's when I started to see SCANDAL as a proper band, 00:03:48.419 --> 00:03:53.549 and it made me go, "Wow, their performances are really intense." 00:03:54.531 --> 00:04:00.471 Then I wanted to start talking to you guys, and so did. 00:04:00.570 --> 00:04:06.133 Hearing from a musician that you're cool makes you happy in a special way. 00:04:06.752 --> 00:04:11.392 There was a time when we weren't invited to festivals at all, 00:04:11.826 --> 00:04:17.696 and for a long time we felt like the four of us were all alone. 00:04:17.779 --> 00:04:21.558 -Really? -Yeah, so [you talking to us] made us really happy, 00:04:21.558 --> 00:04:23.948 and we felt like we were being included. 00:04:23.989 --> 00:04:28.261 I think everyone thinks this, 00:04:28.261 --> 00:04:34.731 but [the band scene] is said to be a male-dominated one with not many places for women. 00:04:34.815 --> 00:04:37.317 They can't really get there. 00:04:38.401 --> 00:04:40.071 Most people think that. 00:04:40.071 --> 00:04:43.151 For me, when you guys were playing at DEAD POP FESTiVAL, 00:04:43.151 --> 00:04:46.641 [Kenta] Koie from Crossfaith and I went to see your set. 00:04:46.801 --> 00:04:50.211 Crossfaith and SCANDAL play completely opposite types of music. 00:04:50.329 --> 00:04:52.079 So we walked over. 00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:56.138 I had a drink in my hand, 00:04:56.138 --> 00:04:59.858 and I got so hyped up by SCANDAL that I did this with my drink, 00:04:59.858 --> 00:05:03.028 and it got all over me. (So cute) 00:05:03.114 --> 00:05:06.312 -Ah, that did happen. -I was going "Ahh!" by myself. 00:05:06.578 --> 00:05:08.568 You guys were really great. 00:05:08.825 --> 00:05:10.135 That makes me happy! 00:05:10.135 --> 00:05:14.094 -I don't think we've talked about stuff like that. -That's definitely true. 00:05:14.254 --> 00:05:18.605 -It's kind of hard to talk to you guys. -That's true. 00:05:18.725 --> 00:05:22.875 Particularly, I'm told by many people that it's hard to start a convo with me. 00:05:22.883 --> 00:05:23.673 -Ah, really? -Yes. 00:05:23.673 --> 00:05:27.091 I don't really go out drinking. 00:05:27.161 --> 00:05:33.031 I'm nervous to do things that I'm not used to. 00:05:33.332 --> 00:05:37.432 You know, Kansai dialect [like yours] really makes me feel at ease. 00:05:38.144 --> 00:05:41.535 -I'm happy to hear that. -I have a really easy time talking with you. 00:05:41.535 --> 00:05:43.294 That makes me really happy. 00:05:45.046 --> 00:05:46.361 (Shy) 00:05:46.361 --> 00:05:46.976 What? 00:05:47.022 --> 00:05:49.972 This is kind of similar to what we're talking about. 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:54.053 What kind of person do you picture me as? 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.457 (Asking him mercilessly about impressions) 00:05:56.457 --> 00:05:58.497 Let's see...

(So nice) 00:07:37.437 --> 00:07:40.747 That was a good direction. 00:07:40.747 --> 00:07:43.351 That was more risqué. 00:07:43.470 --> 00:07:46.743 -That's how it's connected? -Sorry for saying that. 00:07:46.846 --> 00:07:49.326 -I mean that as a compliment. -Thanks so much. 00:07:49.486 --> 00:07:58.671 I get the impression that you have a lot of friends in bands. 00:07:58.671 --> 00:08:03.372 You're someone with a very sociable personality, 00:08:03.372 --> 00:08:07.172 but was there ever a time when you felt like you didn't belong? 00:08:07.222 --> 00:08:10.552 -Ah, at first, totally. -Is that so? 00:08:10.643 --> 00:08:13.163 No matter where we were. 00:08:13.163 --> 00:08:16.745 For example, we had only come out with one or two CDs, 00:08:16.745 --> 00:08:20.745 and when we appeared at a festival with a bunch of different artists, 00:08:20.745 --> 00:08:23.173 we of course felt like we didn't belong. 00:08:23.273 --> 00:08:25.137 I really felt that. 00:08:25.213 --> 00:08:30.613 Then the feeling of wanting it to feel more homely grew stronger for me. 00:08:30.782 --> 00:08:33.732 When I went try and go talk to people... 00:08:33.892 --> 00:08:35.402 Like, there'd be Ken of Hi-STANDARD, 00:08:35.402 --> 00:08:37.262 TOSHI-LOW of BRAHMAN, 00:08:37.262 --> 00:08:39.172 and Hosomi of ELLEGARDEN. 00:08:39.329 --> 00:08:41.910 The three of them were talking to each other. 00:08:41.910 --> 00:08:46.683 -It was pretty hard to go up and talk to them. -Totally true. 00:08:46.683 --> 00:08:56.643 But I decided from the start to go talk to the people who look the hardest to talk to. 00:08:56.685 --> 00:08:57.986 Ah, that's commendable. 00:08:57.986 --> 00:09:06.296 So I'd be the first one to jump into things where it looked difficult to mix in to. 00:09:07.528 --> 00:09:09.724 Then they would remember me. 00:09:10.373 --> 00:09:14.373 -It was that kind of repetition. -I see. 00:09:14.521 --> 00:09:18.645 With bands, and also when we just go out to drink, 00:09:18.645 --> 00:09:22.281 I sit next to the person who looks like they're feeling down. 00:09:24.391 --> 00:09:27.845 I do my best to make sure things go well. 00:09:28.878 --> 00:09:31.639 -You do it so that they don't feel alone. -Yeah. 00:09:31.851 --> 00:09:34.533 That's why you sat next to me. 00:09:36.883 --> 00:09:39.159 Do you have a drummer group? 00:09:40.890 --> 00:09:44.038 -Friends I can talk about the drums with? -Yeah. 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.164 There's Yuna of CHAI, 00:09:46.164 --> 00:09:49.872 and as for guys, there's KOUHEI of 04 Limited Sazabys. 00:09:49.982 --> 00:09:53.541 -I'm really close with them. -Ah, really? 00:09:54.532 --> 00:09:57.592 I think KOUHEI would shoot his shot with you. 00:09:57.622 --> 00:09:59.285 No, not at all! 00:09:59.540 --> 00:10:02.780 We both can't drink alcohol. 00:10:02.780 --> 00:10:04.170 We drink tea.

That's interesting! 00:11:16.606 --> 00:11:17.876 That's what I do. 00:11:17.927 --> 00:11:22.534 To be honest, I can't really hear the lyrics when I listen to Japanese songs. 00:11:22.589 --> 00:11:25.309 I'm listening to the melody instead. 00:11:25.529 --> 00:11:29.949 -So I don't really do [what you do]. -I totally understand that. 00:11:30.003 --> 00:11:35.432 -I really do enjoy listening to words in music. -Ah, that's so interesting. 00:11:35.476 --> 00:11:36.876 When I'm watching concerts, 00:11:36.876 --> 00:11:39.416 I of course look at the band members, 00:11:39.416 --> 00:11:41.441 but the MCs are what I look forward to the most. 00:11:41.441 --> 00:11:42.816 -Seriously? -Yes. 00:11:42.852 --> 00:11:45.772 I'm like, "What will this person talk about?" 00:11:45.915 --> 00:11:49.336 -Are there people who do that? -Maybe not. 00:11:49.336 --> 00:11:51.406 I really look forward to the MCs. 00:11:51.406 --> 00:11:54.956 -That's probably because you value words. -That's true. 00:11:55.002 --> 00:11:57.988 Also, you can really see what kind of person they are. 00:11:58.181 --> 00:12:04.341 When it hits me like, "Ah, this person made it, so the song turned out like this," 00:12:04.341 --> 00:12:07.157 it makes me realize how much fun music is. 00:12:08.654 --> 00:12:10.334 Is that so? 00:12:10.443 --> 00:12:13.433 That's something I've never considered. 00:12:13.534 --> 00:12:19.494 Aside from lyrics, when the rhythm or the tempo is nice 00:12:19.494 --> 00:12:23.234 and it completes the song, I have a lot of respect for those kinds of musicians. 00:12:23.234 --> 00:12:25.375 I'm not too good at that myself. 00:12:25.375 --> 00:12:28.235 Things you can't do, huh. I see. 00:12:28.362 --> 00:12:31.697 -This is kind of a sensitive topic. -Sensitive? 00:12:31.827 --> 00:12:34.967 Are there times when you think you're unable to continue being in a band? 00:12:34.967 --> 00:12:36.747 -There totally are. -There are, huh? 00:12:36.747 --> 00:12:38.214 There will be those in the future, too. 00:12:38.552 --> 00:12:41.042 You guys have been together for as long as us. 10... 00:12:41.042 --> 00:12:43.222 -About 15 years [since 2006]. -Right. 00:12:43.326 --> 00:12:45.896 -We're also in our 16th year-- -Our seniors! 00:12:45.896 --> 00:12:48.361 -No, this year will be our 16th. -Ah, I see. 00:12:48.361 --> 00:12:50.609 We've been doing this for the same amount of time. 00:12:50.918 --> 00:12:53.782 What makes you think that way during those times? 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:57.540 The biggest one was... 00:12:58.583 --> 00:13:02.453 when our former bassist/vocalist and our trumpet player left the band. 00:13:02.453 --> 00:13:04.633 So I think it was during that time. 00:13:05.160 --> 00:13:08.166 The bassist/vocalist was our main vocalist. 00:13:08.346 --> 00:13:11.267 I sang as well, but he sang more. 00:13:11.350 --> 00:13:15.350 When they left, we thought maybe we should disband peacefully. 00:13:15.576 --> 00:13:17.876 We didn't plan to continue on. 00:13:18.211 --> 00:13:22.041 That was the hardest time for us, 00:13:22.311 --> 00:13:26.811 but a lot of people told us to try holding out. 00:13:26.949 --> 00:13:32.119 We were like, "We'll try it, but if it doesn't work out then let's break up." 00:13:32.281 --> 00:13:34.491 We were careful then. 00:13:34.587 --> 00:13:43.177 At first, our audience numbers dwindled due to the bassist/vocalist leaving. 00:13:43.287 --> 00:13:45.731 That was tough. 00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:48.650 Wow. 00:13:48.838 --> 00:13:59.692 I think it's really amazing when a band continues on despite changing out members. NOTE Paragraph 00:13:59.807 --> 00:14:04.164 -I think that would be impossible for us. -True. 00:14:04.304 --> 00:14:09.414 It probably wouldn't be that we'd go on hiatus or someone leaves the band. 00:14:09.523 --> 00:14:13.007 We'd be like, "Let's stop being a band." 00:14:14.954 --> 00:14:17.546 That's also impressive. 00:14:18.071 --> 00:14:21.551 But you know... This is also a sensitive topic, 00:14:21.602 --> 00:14:26.762 but you guys are women, and there are some forms of happiness for women. 00:14:27.380 --> 00:14:34.232 And like, you never know if a time will come when you'll all want to break up, 00:14:34.232 --> 00:14:40.950 and then maybe all want to try being a band again, which is fine. 00:14:41.019 --> 00:14:45.469 And maybe one by one you'll wonder what you'll do about your band activities. 00:14:45.469 --> 00:14:48.859 -Wouldn't that difficult? -I think it would be. 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.919 Is it okay to choose your own happiness as a woman, 00:14:52.967 --> 00:14:58.637 or, like what you said before about how it's "The four of us or nothing," 00:14:58.834 --> 00:15:01.294 Will you have any disputes then? 00:15:01.464 --> 00:15:05.051 -We really never have any disputes. -You don't? 00:15:05.400 --> 00:15:10.420 If someone wants to get married, or have kids, or finds a partner, 00:15:10.420 --> 00:15:13.420 we're all totally on board with things like that. 00:15:13.543 --> 00:15:21.493 We all think that getting married isn't the only peak of happiness. 00:15:21.707 --> 00:15:26.777 Each of us all have relationships at times... 00:15:26.893 --> 00:15:28.663 Ah, you guys have relationships like normal? 00:15:28.663 --> 00:15:31.318 -Is it okay to say that? -Yeah, it's fine. 00:15:31.318 --> 00:15:33.308 -It is? -Totally. 00:15:33.659 --> 00:15:39.848 -I don't think it's good to ask too much about it. -I think that too. 00:15:39.947 --> 00:15:44.523 But we just want to be normal—or natural. 00:15:45.100 --> 00:15:46.480 That's great. 00:15:46.595 --> 00:15:49.265 That's wonderful. You guys are totally bandsmen. 00:15:49.633 --> 00:15:53.203 We won't know unless it happens. 00:15:53.517 --> 00:15:57.657 I think that if we were to stop once, 00:15:57.657 --> 00:16:03.947 I don't know if I'll be at the same level as when we left off. 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:09.165 -So that's why I want to do as much as I can. -I see. 00:16:09.603 --> 00:16:12.263 -That's passionate. -It is. 00:16:12.263 --> 00:16:13.633 It's very passionate. 00:16:13.781 --> 00:16:18.291 -I really love that kind of mindset. -Ah, really? I'm glad. 00:16:18.586 --> 00:16:21.206 When you first started your YouTube channel, 00:16:21.206 --> 00:16:26.586 you talked about that it'd be nice to have the band side of things get more exciting with what you're putting out. 00:16:26.636 --> 00:16:28.683 I thought that was awesome. 00:16:29.347 --> 00:16:41.557 I've always thought that doing things ultimately all for the band was impressive. 00:16:41.735 --> 00:16:45.054 How would you ultimately want things to be [for your band]? 00:16:45.142 --> 00:16:53.553 We don't try to put out one popular album after another. 00:16:53.653 --> 00:16:58.878 Our genre has the impression of everyone being strong-willed, 00:16:58.878 --> 00:17:03.010 and crafting our own kind of scene or culture. 00:17:03.285 --> 00:17:05.305 There's no real meaning in a band suddenly getting popular 00:17:05.305 --> 00:17:09.695 and then playing a show at Tokyo Dome. 00:17:10.335 --> 00:17:15.353 Elevating things like street culture all in one go... 00:17:15.471 --> 00:17:19.931 Like skateboards, tattoos, fashion... 00:17:19.958 --> 00:17:24.890 That street culture... it's like... 00:17:24.890 --> 00:17:26.788 No, I shouldn't put it that way. 00:17:26.924 --> 00:17:28.164 Like... 00:17:28.245 --> 00:17:29.238 Well, let's go with it. 00:17:29.298 --> 00:17:33.828 This set-up is what rock is. What pop is. 00:17:33.982 --> 00:17:37.813 And street culture is the victor over that. 00:17:37.879 --> 00:17:40.849 -That's what my ideal [band scene] is. -I see. 00:17:40.928 --> 00:17:45.812 I do like pop music, and I also have a lot of idols I support, 00:17:45.812 --> 00:17:50.051 but I want street culture to be more awesome than any of those. 00:17:50.700 --> 00:17:52.605 That's my ideal. 00:17:52.765 --> 00:17:54.508 Do you have any? 00:17:55.019 --> 00:17:55.949 I wonder... 00:17:55.949 --> 00:18:00.818 But I do hope to leave behind this idea of 00:18:00.818 --> 00:18:08.088 "This is one way that an all-girl band can continue on." 00:18:08.128 --> 00:18:10.788 There are many guys in the band scene, 00:18:10.788 --> 00:18:13.468 but women can totally enjoy it as well. 00:18:13.548 --> 00:18:15.328 Wear clothes that get you pumped up, 00:18:15.328 --> 00:18:16.998 do your hair and makeup, 00:18:16.998 --> 00:18:19.040 use words that you like to use. 00:18:19.447 --> 00:18:25.037 You can have a cool and flexible vibe while being in the spotlight. 00:18:25.037 --> 00:18:27.967 -I hope to leave behind that kind of stance. -I see. 00:18:28.064 --> 00:18:32.735 I think more people of all kinds would join. 00:18:33.042 --> 00:18:35.922 You're expressing that with all your strength. 00:18:36.006 --> 00:18:38.936 Yes, I still want to do this with all of my strength. 00:18:39.588 --> 00:18:42.288 -I think you're totally doing it. -I'm happy to hear that. 00:18:43.482 --> 00:18:48.326 I think there are many people who started bands after learning about SCANDAL. 00:18:48.587 --> 00:18:50.227 That makes me really happy. 00:18:50.289 --> 00:18:54.161 I have a lot of respect for what you're doing. 00:18:54.504 --> 00:18:57.378 Thank you so much for a great conversation! 00:18:58.133 --> 00:19:01.159 -Is this okay for your viewers? -This was so awesome! 00:19:01.159 --> 00:19:04.652 -I'm basically not cutting out anything. -But we did talk a lot. 00:19:04.819 --> 00:19:07.619 -I'm happy I got to ask you about a lot of things. -Same here. 00:19:07.672 --> 00:19:11.252 -Thank you so much for doing this after your set. -Really, thank you so much. 00:19:11.325 --> 00:19:13.755 -If we get another chance... -Let's make another chance. 00:19:13.755 --> 00:19:14.905 Yes, let's! 00:19:14.978 --> 00:19:17.258 -Thank you so much! -Thank you so much! 00:19:17.318 --> 00:19:21.108 We filmed a really crazy video for Igari's channel, 00:19:21.108 --> 00:19:22.525 so please check it out if you'd like! 00:19:22.525 --> 00:19:23.962 My heart was pounding. 00:19:24.520 --> 00:19:27.447 -Thank you so much! -Thank you so much!
