Is this going to work? 00:00:06.362 --> 00:00:09.280 -We just went out to eat for the first time in forever. -Yeah. 00:00:09.838 --> 00:00:12.226 After we finished work, 00:00:12.267 --> 00:00:15.780 we went to HARU's place first. 00:00:18.303 --> 00:00:21.290 We fed her dog Lady. 00:00:21.414 --> 00:00:25.432 This was my first time going to HARU's place. 00:00:25.648 --> 00:00:31.193 I mean, this was my first time going to a place HARU has lived at 00:00:32.090 --> 00:00:37.034 since she was living alone in a studio apartment in Osaka. 00:00:37.384 --> 00:00:39.834 It had been 12 years. 00:00:40.134 --> 00:00:42.295 Wait, wasn't it even before that? 00:00:43.642 --> 00:00:45.797 13 years? 00:00:45.797 --> 00:00:48.019 Maybe about 14 years? 00:00:49.068 --> 00:00:51.104 That's crazy. 00:00:51.104 --> 00:00:54.150 We're always together anyway. 00:00:54.272 --> 00:00:57.580 Time passes by way too fast. 00:00:59.629 --> 00:01:01.236 Seriously, 00:01:01.236 --> 00:01:03.894 From the time I was a kid until the time I became an adult, 00:01:03.894 --> 00:01:06.864 there hasn't been a moment when we haven't been together. 00:01:07.704 --> 00:01:09.923 Isn't that crazy? 00:01:11.507 --> 00:01:14.058 I'm surprised we've been able to stay together for so long. 00:01:14.058 --> 00:01:16.796 Meeting the members, 00:01:16.796 --> 00:01:19.118 like, no matter how many more years I have ahead of me, 00:01:19.153 --> 00:01:23.519 That is my most precious treasure in life, seriously. 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.320 I really do think that. 00:01:26.437 --> 00:01:28.776 That's so heavy. 00:01:30.348 --> 00:01:35.255 I mean, it just so happened that we became a band. 00:01:35.455 --> 00:01:37.113 Like, what are the chances of that? 00:01:37.723 --> 00:01:41.324 I wonder why we all attended a dance school. 00:01:41.438 --> 00:01:44.726 Eh, didn't you want to make your debut as a dancer? 00:01:46.343 --> 00:01:47.609 Yeah, that was the case. 00:01:47.609 --> 00:01:50.662 At first, though, the reason why you started liking music 00:01:50.662 --> 00:01:53.313 is because of dance music. 00:01:53.478 --> 00:01:54.991 -Isn't that weird? -Yeah. 00:01:56.283 --> 00:02:00.761 You might have thought that being in a band was odd. 00:02:01.414 --> 00:02:05.005 Maybe that's why I started learning about it. 00:02:05.005 --> 00:02:07.071 This kind of life. 00:02:08.271 --> 00:02:10.301 You're also getting deep! 00:02:11.634 --> 00:02:15.160 We're a band that has a special story, 00:02:15.160 --> 00:02:17.094 And... 00:02:18.774 --> 00:02:21.827 We're fine with it all, 00:02:21.907 --> 00:02:29.151 -so we hope to have fun conveying (our roots and personalities) to lots of people. -That's true. 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:33.361 I think there are a lot of people who know about all that. 00:02:33.633 --> 00:02:36.888 Depending on when you learn about us, 00:02:36.888 --> 00:02:39.995 we're always in a different mode, 00:02:39.995 --> 00:02:43.182 so I think each person has their own image of us. 00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:47.754 But we've been doing this for 14 years, 00:02:47.915 --> 00:02:56.490 and I think it'd be best if we could convey that this is who we are right now. 00:02:56.490 --> 00:03:07.626 Recently, we've been talking a lot about what the best way would be to let people know who we currently are. 00:03:08.894 --> 00:03:13.821 It's because I think we're really cool right now! 00:03:15.135 --> 00:03:17.365 I'm speaking for myself, 00:03:17.415 --> 00:03:20.898 -and our music too. -This truly is the best we've ever been. 00:03:20.898 --> 00:03:23.791 -We're not denying who we used to be. -No, we're not. 00:03:24.104 --> 00:03:29.084 We've been fighting against those feelings every day lately. 00:03:29.857 --> 00:03:34.214 We never do anything but talk about the band 00:03:34.214 --> 00:03:37.291 I mean, the only thing we talk about is the band. 00:03:37.450 --> 00:03:39.755 Like today, 00:03:39.755 --> 00:03:43.011 we started rehearsals at 1 pm 00:03:43.134 --> 00:03:45.880 and then had a meeting. 00:03:45.880 --> 00:03:47.788 So, like... 00:03:47.972 --> 00:03:50.676 How many hours do we talk about the band? 00:03:51.882 --> 00:03:54.938 Right? 00:03:56.336 --> 00:04:00.989 You know, I recently started up the DAISY PROJECT, 00:04:01.318 --> 00:04:09.138 and on YouTube I intentionally increased the time I actively talk about things other than music. 00:04:09.138 --> 00:04:12.341 By talking about things unrelated [to music], 00:04:12.446 --> 00:04:17.960 it naturally conveys my personality, right? 00:04:18.716 --> 00:04:22.960 Isn't it because you've aaalways been writing blogs? 00:04:23.235 --> 00:04:26.698 I've written them since before our indie label debut. 00:04:26.813 --> 00:04:34.047 Ever since we formed, RINA has always written blogs. 00:04:34.156 --> 00:04:38.250 If you think about how she turned that into videos, 00:04:38.381 --> 00:04:43.361 it's not like it was that big of a change. 00:04:43.606 --> 00:04:46.131 The form is just different. 00:04:46.835 --> 00:04:50.150 Also, 00:04:50.150 --> 00:04:53.536 because I'm now an adult, 00:04:53.536 --> 00:05:00.517 the process of being in a band while growing up increased the things I want to do, 00:05:00.517 --> 00:05:02.378 and changed the way I think. 00:05:02.532 --> 00:05:04.077 That's normal to go through as a human being. 00:05:04.249 --> 00:05:05.248 Yeah. 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:14.380 It feels a little presumptuous to say that you want to properly show that, and to have people understand that, 00:05:14.380 --> 00:05:15.907 but that does happen. 00:05:16.806 --> 00:05:20.420 But it's the same for everyone. 00:05:20.670 --> 00:05:22.180 Yeah. 00:05:22.403 --> 00:05:25.771 It's the same for those who see that. 00:05:25.771 --> 00:05:29.262 The way you think changes alongside your age. 00:05:29.262 --> 00:05:32.813 Your situation changes. 00:05:32.955 --> 00:05:35.495 -It's the same for us. -Yeah. 00:05:35.495 --> 00:05:46.295 So, because we'll have easy-to-understand interviews in magazines and such, 00:05:46.436 --> 00:05:53.346 what we think at the time will remain as an article, 00:05:53.346 --> 00:05:59.363 so there will probably always be people who are like, "But you said this at this time." 00:05:59.467 --> 00:06:03.060 They'll go, "I'm a person who thinks like this," 00:06:03.060 --> 00:06:08.050 and will remain that way for several years. 00:06:08.209 --> 00:06:13.753 But since they are human beings, they'll then start changing, 00:06:13.753 --> 00:06:19.613 and it's a given that they'll be like, "This is what I think now." 00:06:19.613 --> 00:06:22.371 A while ago, 00:06:22.371 --> 00:06:24.583 in regards to cooking... 00:06:27.441 --> 00:06:30.083 It's not that I didn't like it, 00:06:30.705 --> 00:06:34.177 but I thought cooking was a hassle. 00:06:34.738 --> 00:06:37.772 That was maybe 10 years ago? 00:06:39.900 --> 00:06:44.353 10 years ago, when I barely started living on my own, 00:06:44.768 --> 00:06:49.888 was when I would say I'm not that good at cooking. 00:06:51.770 --> 00:06:55.107 I'm sure there are people who will always have that impression of me. 00:06:55.107 --> 00:06:57.645 They'll mention it to you? 00:06:58.875 --> 00:07:02.198 When we were on lockdown, 00:07:02.536 --> 00:07:07.515 if I made food and posted it on social media, 00:07:07.685 --> 00:07:12.959 people would reply with things like, "You can cook after all." 00:07:13.252 --> 00:07:15.520 I would think, "Well, of course I can." 00:07:15.671 --> 00:07:19.117 You wouldn't be alive if you couldn't! 00:07:19.117 --> 00:07:25.869 I think we all have times when we're like, "Of course I can do that." 00:07:26.769 --> 00:07:36.567 -There are times when you just want to be seen as a regular adult woman. -Yeah. 00:07:36.567 --> 00:07:40.778 We're both musicians and human beings~ 00:07:41.417 --> 00:07:45.630 We were young when we had our major label debut, 00:07:45.762 --> 00:07:50.489 and I know that gave off the impression we were childish. 00:07:50.668 --> 00:07:55.703 Today, HARU let me know for the first time that she watches my YouTube videos. 00:07:55.775 --> 00:07:59.420 That made me so happy! 00:08:01.566 --> 00:08:07.119 I LINE'd her in the middle of night, asking her if she'd be okay with filming today. 00:08:07.119 --> 00:08:14.434 All I do is film on my days off, edit the footage myself, and then upload it, 00:08:14.667 --> 00:08:16.886 so on days off... 00:08:17.746 --> 00:08:21.991 It's really hard for me to ask the members if it's okay to film. 00:08:22.437 --> 00:08:26.437 I feel kind of bad asking on our days off. 00:08:28.543 --> 00:08:31.405 If you ask us, we'll adjust our schedules, you know. 00:08:31.686 --> 00:08:34.332 I really want to be considerate to you guys! 00:08:34.371 --> 00:08:37.366 Nah, like... 00:08:37.541 --> 00:08:42.345 When you ask, "Are you free after the meeting tomorrow?", 00:08:42.345 --> 00:08:45.588 it makes me go, "Did something happen?" 00:08:45.807 --> 00:08:51.390 I can really tell that you're nervous about something. 00:08:53.037 --> 00:08:55.695 Like, "Are you in some sort of trouble?" 00:08:55.742 --> 00:09:00.894 I'm still pretty nervous to invite you guys out. 00:09:00.894 --> 00:09:02.446 Or rather, there are many times when I try to be considerate. 00:09:02.771 --> 00:09:06.492 There totally are times when we just go with the flow and go out to eat and stuff. 00:09:07.403 --> 00:09:11.529 -We don't often go, "Are you free tomorrow?" -We don't. 00:09:11.529 --> 00:09:15.363 So, getting to chat and have a meal together, 00:09:15.485 --> 00:09:19.898 and getting to go to her place for the first time made me happy. 00:09:20.709 --> 00:09:23.394 I also got to see her dog Lady. 00:09:23.394 --> 00:09:25.990 -She remembered me, right?
