    Hello! RINA here.
  • 0:03 - 0:05
    I'm at the airport right now.
  • 0:06 - 0:11
    Today, we'll be taking a one-way flight that takes 30 hours
  • 0:11 - 0:16
    and going to Sao Paulo, Brazil for the first time.
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    At any rate, this'll be the longest we've ever traveled,
  • 0:21 - 0:28
    and I'm kind of nervous about getting there safe and sound.
  • 0:28 - 0:33
    I hope we get there safely,
  • 0:33 - 0:35
    put on a good performance,
  • 0:35 - 0:39
    and have some fun.
  • 0:39 - 0:42
    I bought a neck pilllow from Yogibo.
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    I'm kind of looking forward to using it.
  • 0:48 - 0:50
    We have a layover in Dubai.
  • 0:50 - 0:54
    So first we'll be flying for a little over 10 hours,
  • 0:54 - 1:02
    and then we'll have our connecting flight to Sao Paulo.
  • 1:02 - 1:09
    We don't usually do night flights,
  • 1:09 - 1:11
    so it feels kind of new and fresh.
  • 1:11 - 1:14
    The view looks nice from the airport.
  • 1:15 - 1:20
    I downloaded a bunch of videos and drama series.
  • 1:23 - 1:28
    I'll be boarding the first plane now.
  • 1:28 - 1:31
    It's embarrassing to film solo at the airport.
  • 1:31 - 1:32
    I'm off!
  • 1:48 - 1:50
    We're boarding the plane now.
  • 1:53 - 2:01
    Until a few days ago there were a lot of open seats,
  • 2:01 - 2:04
    but in the past 2-3 days it totally filled up.
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    A lot of people are going to Dubai.
  • 2:11 - 2:14
    We've arrived in Dubai.
  • 2:15 - 2:17
    The flight was about 10 hours.
  • 2:17 - 2:21
    That was a piece of cake and went by in no time.
  • 2:21 - 2:24
    They served two meals.
  • 2:25 - 2:30
    The entire time I was watching the videos I downloaded.
  • 2:35 - 2:37
    I watched "Love Transit."
  • 2:38 - 2:40
    It was interesting.
  • 2:40 - 2:47
    Our youngest female manager was recommending it for the longest time.
  • 2:47 - 2:51
    I decided to watch it on the plane and had fun doing so.
  • 2:52 - 2:55
    10 hours went by in no time.
  • 2:56 - 2:58
    There are 20 more hours left.
  • 2:58 - 2:59
    So long.
  • 3:00 - 3:04
    Right now, as we've just arrived...
  • 3:04 - 3:06
    It's a little before 5 am.
  • 3:07 - 3:14
    I'll eat breakfast now that we've landed.
  • 3:14 - 3:23
    We'll spend another 5 hours at the airport,
  • 3:24 - 3:30
    then take a 15-hour flight and arrive in Sao Paulo.
  • 3:31 - 3:33
    I'll be taking it easy at the airport.
  • 3:40 - 3:43
    We've arrived in Sao Paulo.
  • 3:43 - 3:45
    Yesterday...
  • 3:46 - 3:49
    I think we arrived at night.
  • 3:49 - 3:54
    I was so tired that I couldn't film.
  • 3:54 - 3:57
    Then I slept the day away,
  • 3:57 - 3:59
    and today...
  • 4:00 - 4:04
    We have interviews and meet-and-greets with fans.
  • 4:04 - 4:06
    That's our day today.
  • 4:07 - 4:09
    Traveling for 30 hours...
  • 4:09 - 4:14
    The latter half was more damaging that I thought they'd be.
  • 4:16 - 4:19
    I used up a lot of stamina.
  • 4:20 - 4:25
    But since this is something we probably won't experience much,
  • 4:26 - 4:32
    it was a really crazy experience.
  • 4:33 - 4:35
    It took so long.
  • 4:35 - 4:36
    Really long.
  • 4:36 - 4:39
    The amount of time that passed after our layover was really long.
  • 4:39 - 4:40
    Like, you'd go to sleep and wake up,
  • 4:40 - 4:44
    but there'd still be 10 hours left.
  • 4:44 - 4:45
    It was crazy.
  • 4:46 - 4:47
    It was so long.
  • 4:48 - 4:50
    We did fly to the other side of the world, after all.
  • 4:50 - 4:55
    But, firstly, I'm so glad we arrived safely.
  • 4:55 - 4:58
    It's midwinter here.
  • 4:58 - 5:02
    The seasons are also reversed with Japan's.
  • 5:02 - 5:05
    That's why it was pretty cold when we arrived.
  • 5:05 - 5:08
    It was colder than I thought it'd be.
  • 5:09 - 5:11
    When we asked the local staff about it,
  • 5:12 - 5:16
    they said that the temperature dropped a lot starting yesterday.
  • 5:17 - 5:22
    Until then, it had been a bit cooler and more comfy, apparently.
  • 5:23 - 5:32
    We're finally getting to meet our fans in Brazil after 15 years,
  • 5:34 - 5:36
    so it feels really crazy.
  • 5:36 - 5:42
    It's really something, waiting for 15 years.
  • 5:43 - 5:46
    Ever since we started our social media accounts,
  • 5:46 - 5:51
    we've gotten a lot of messages every day from South American countries
  • 5:51 - 5:55
    like Brazil and also Chile.
  • 5:55 - 5:59
    This is our first time coming to Brazil,
  • 5:59 - 6:01
    and when it was announced that we were appearing at this festival,
  • 6:01 - 6:04
    the reactions were really something
  • 6:04 - 6:08
    and it made us happy.
  • 6:08 - 6:09
    Now that we're finally able to meet,
  • 6:09 - 6:13
    we're going to do the most we can.
  • 6:13 - 6:19
    We have no idea when—or if—we can see each other again,
  • 6:19 - 6:23
    so we'll go all out before heading back home.
  • 6:25 - 6:28
    We have M&Gs before the concert.
  • 6:28 - 6:30
    I'm looking forward to it.
  • 6:30 - 6:33
    I also wonder what we'll be asked during interviews.
  • 6:34 - 6:36
    The questions we're asked by Japanese press
  • 6:36 - 6:39
    and the ones asked by overseas press
  • 6:39 - 6:41
    are always completely different from each other.
  • 6:42 - 6:44
    There are a lot of things to look forward to.
  • 6:46 - 6:51
    Also, I was looking through my YouTube channel
  • 6:51 - 6:54
    and realized that it's been a year since our world tour.
  • 6:54 - 6:58
    It's terrifying how fast time goes by.
  • 6:59 - 7:04
    Way too much stuff happened on that world tour.
  • 7:04 - 7:05
    It was tough.
  • 7:05 - 7:11
    We toured Japan, then the US, then Europe.
  • 7:12 - 7:16
    The whole band got COVID when we were in the US
  • 7:16 - 7:19
    and had to spend 2 weeks recovering at a hotel in Chicago,
  • 7:19 - 7:22
    unable to go back to Japan.
  • 7:23 - 7:28
    We had to cancel half of our US tour.
  • 7:28 - 7:31
    There's so much regret there.
  • 7:31 - 7:34
    That was the first time we've had to outright cancel concerts like that.
  • 7:34 - 7:40
    That's why that was a tour where we felt so many things for the first time.
  • 7:41 - 7:44
    Thinking about how it's been a year since then...
  • 7:45 - 7:49
    You need to take each and every concert,
  • 7:49 - 7:52
    or each and every day, one at a time.
  • 7:52 - 7:54
    It all goes by really quickly.
  • 7:55 - 7:59
    This year's also already halfway over.
  • 8:00 - 8:02
    When we get back from Brazil,
  • 8:02 - 8:07
    we'll be preparing for an important event in Japan,
  • 8:07 - 8:11
    so we'll be going closer and closer towards that goal.
  • 8:12 - 8:16
    I think this performance in Brazil will be our only overseas one this year.
  • 8:16 - 8:19
    It's a little unusual for us.
  • 8:19 - 8:23
    We usually play a few overseas concerts each year, after all.
  • 8:24 - 8:36
    So I hope we can deliver some good music with this one.
  • 8:36 - 8:40
    Now then, I'm off to do interviews and the M&G.
  • 9:17 - 9:19
    "What keeps you moving? "
  • 9:21 - 9:24
    I think it's different for each of us.
  • 9:25 - 9:28
    Before a concert,
  • 9:28 - 9:32
    we usually will eat snacks in the dressing room.
  • 9:32 - 9:34
    We all eat a lot of snacks.
  • 9:44 - 9:48
    Today, some pao de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) was prepared for us.
  • 9:56 - 9:58
    We're eating dinner.
  • 9:58 - 10:01
    We're all eating churrasco together.
  • 10:03 - 10:04
    It's awesome.
  • 10:08 - 10:11
    The veggies are self-serve.
  • 10:12 - 10:14
    The meat is coming around now.
  • 10:33 - 10:34
    Wow!
  • 10:34 - 10:36
    A lot of meat came by.
  • 10:39 - 10:40
    This is awesome.
  • 10:40 - 10:41
    It's crazy.
  • 10:45 - 10:47
    This is really good.
  • 10:47 - 10:48
    It is.
  • 10:49 - 10:51
    -It's totally different from yakiniku.
    -Right?
  • 10:52 - 10:53
    It's been a while since I've had this.
  • 11:00 - 11:01
    So good.
  • 11:05 - 11:07
    Thank you!
  • 11:08 - 11:13
    (The family next to us celebrating a birthday gave us some cake🥺)
  • 11:15 - 11:19
    (It seems that there's a custom of inserting the knife from the bottom and going upwards so that your life goes upwards as well♡)
  • 11:20 - 11:21
    (That's lovely♡)
  • 11:23 - 11:24
    (They said they'll just give us the whole thing🥹🍰)
  • 11:24 - 11:26
    Let's all eat this.
  • 11:26 - 11:28
    Thank you!
  • 11:33 - 11:34
    (Thanks!)
  • 11:34 - 11:36
    -So cute.
    -Right?
  • 11:37 - 11:40
    Good morning.
  • 11:40 - 11:42
    It's our second morning here.
  • 11:43 - 11:45
    The weather's nice again today.
  • 11:45 - 11:50
    After all of the events yesterday,
  • 11:50 - 11:52
    we went to eat churrasco.
  • 11:53 - 11:55
    It was such a great night.
  • 11:55 - 11:57
    It was a lot of fun.
  • 11:59 - 12:00
    Actually, it would've been nice this morning
  • 12:00 - 12:05
    if I'd have been able to go to a cafe and film outside,
  • 12:05 - 12:07
    but security-wise...
  • 12:08 - 12:13
    Walking around Brazil alone is dangerous,
  • 12:13 - 12:16
    so I'm filming once more from my hotel room.
  • 12:16 - 12:23
    It's apparently very dangerous for an Asian woman to walk around alone.
  • 12:24 - 12:29
    We basically can't do things alone.
  • 12:29 - 12:32
    We always have security with us here,
  • 12:32 - 12:37
    including moving around inside the venue.
  • 12:38 - 12:43
    We finally got to meet Brazilian fans yesterday,
  • 12:44 - 12:46
    and I could really tell how long they've waited.
  • 12:47 - 12:50
    All of that was conveyed from their facial expressions and words.
  • 12:51 - 12:53
    It was really moving.
  • 12:54 - 12:56
    It made me glad that we came here.
  • 12:58 - 13:05
    There was a girl who learned about us when we debuted when she was 12
  • 13:05 - 13:07
    and is now 27 years old.
  • 13:07 - 13:12
    She was like, "We finally get to meet!" and was crying.
  • 13:13 - 13:17
    There were also people who had gone to Japan to see us live.
  • 13:17 - 13:23
    They said things like how it was a dream come true to see SCANDAL live.
  • 13:26 - 13:27
    It was so moving.
  • 13:27 - 13:29
    It really made us happy.
  • 13:29 - 13:31
    I was really glad.
  • 13:32 - 13:37
    If we didn't keep going, we might not have had a chance to come to Brazil.
  • 13:38 - 13:41
    It made me really glad.
  • 13:42 - 13:43
    The interviews as well.
  • 13:44 - 13:51
    This is a big festival in Brazil about different aspects of Japanese culture
  • 13:51 - 13:56
    such as anime, games, and music,
  • 13:56 - 14:00
    and draws in about 100,000 people.
  • 14:02 - 14:08
    We used to appear a lot at festivals like this one.
  • 14:09 - 14:13
    It's been a while since we've done this,
  • 14:13 - 14:17
    as we had been doing many solo concerts overseas instead,
  • 14:17 - 14:20
    so it feels like it's been forever,
  • 14:20 - 14:23
    and it also feels nostalgic.
  • 14:23 - 14:28
    There are a bunch of people here in cosplay,
  • 14:28 - 14:32
    but surprisingly, most people who came to see us were wearing band shirts.
  • 14:32 - 14:35
    I'm sure a lot of them know us from our songs from hit anime series,
  • 14:36 - 14:39
    and of course they like anime as well,
  • 14:39 - 14:44
    but they also knew a lot of our non-anime-related songs.
  • 14:45 - 14:48
    I really got the impression that that's how they learned about us,
  • 14:48 - 14:51
    learned what our personalities are like,
  • 14:51 - 14:56
    and started to regularly listen to our music.
  • 14:57 - 15:01
    That also made me happy.
  • 15:01 - 15:04
    Also, the interviews...
  • 15:05 - 15:12
    A lot of questions were anime-oriented,
  • 15:12 - 15:14
    but yesterday we had ones that asked us things like
  • 15:14 - 15:18
    what we think now after 17 years of being a band.
  • 15:18 - 15:21
    One that I thought was really interesting
  • 15:21 - 15:25
    asked us what we think about our influencing power.
  • 15:25 - 15:31
    Also, I was asked about the DAISY PROJECT that I run.
  • 15:31 - 15:35
    Some asked me about that.
  • 15:35 - 15:38
    I felt that they had really done their research on us
  • 15:38 - 15:44
    and were interested in what we had to say.
  • 15:44 - 15:49
    I was very happy to see that kind of attention and love.
  • 15:49 - 15:52
    We communicate via an interpreter.
  • 15:53 - 15:57
    Portuguese—rather, Brazilian Portuguese is spoken in Brazil.
  • 15:58 - 16:05
    They told us that every single word in it is long.
  • 16:05 - 16:09
    If I were to be asked what I think about Brazil,
  • 16:09 - 16:13
    even such a short sentence in Japanese would become a very long one.
  • 16:14 - 16:20
    That's why I was asked to keep my answers as short as possible.
  • 16:21 - 16:30
    I tried to answer in Japanese that was easy to understand and precise.
  • 16:31 - 16:35
    I always think about things like this when we do interviews overseas,
  • 16:35 - 16:39
    and this time I felt the length of my answers was even more important.
  • 16:39 - 16:46
    I want to speak in a way that conveys the subtle nuances of the conversation,
  • 16:46 - 16:54
    in the same way I speak in Japan, without being too overpowering.
  • 16:54 - 16:58
    I always find it difficult to find the right balance between the two.
  • 17:00 - 17:02
    I think this is especially true for me,
  • 17:02 - 17:09
    that I tend to talk a lot about feelings and nuances,
  • 17:09 - 17:16
    so I wondered how much of it was being conveyed through the interpreter.
  • 17:17 - 17:24
    But I tried to speak properly without being too reserved,
  • 17:25 - 17:27
    and I tried to not give too simple an answer
  • 17:27 - 17:34
    in the hope that it would be easy to understand.
  • 17:35 - 17:37
    What else?
  • 17:39 - 17:44
    We were asked what the most difficult thing is about songwriting.
  • 17:44 - 17:51
    Although we're an all-girl band that's been around for 17 years,
  • 17:51 - 17:55
    you never know when something could happen.
  • 17:56 - 18:00
    We want to make music that we can keep playing for a long time.
  • 18:01 - 18:07
    When I said that it was difficult to find the right balance,
  • 18:07 - 18:12
    I thought the reaction I got was a good one.
  • 18:13 - 18:14
    That also made me happy.
  • 18:14 - 18:20
    Day 1 was a very meaningful, nice one.
  • 18:21 - 18:22
    It was a lot of fun.
  • 18:22 - 18:27
    It made me even more excited to have everyone watch our performance today.
  • 18:27 - 18:31
    We're going to go to the venue, which hasn't opened yet,
  • 18:31 - 18:33
    and do soundcheck and rehearsals.
  • 18:34 - 18:39
    Then we'll do another signing and M&G.
  • 18:39 - 18:43
    After that, it's time for the concert.
  • 18:44 - 18:46
    I'm off!
  • 18:49 - 18:52
    This is today's venue.
  • 18:52 - 18:55
    This is what the concert area looks like.
  • 18:56 - 18:58
    It's awesome.
  • 19:01 - 19:02
    Can't wait.
  • 19:02 - 19:04
    We're going to have rehearsals now.
  • 19:04 - 19:05
    I'm off!
  • 19:06 - 19:07
    The other band members are in front of me.
  • 19:08 - 19:10
    It's really cold today.
  • 19:11 - 19:13
    We won't fare well in our stage outfits.
  • 19:32 - 19:34
    We'll get ready.
  • 19:37 - 19:42
    A lot people are already lining up. Wow!
  • 19:42 - 19:44
    How many hours are there to go?
  • 19:46 - 19:47
    Let's go!
  • 19:51 - 19:53
    I'm really cold in this outfit.
  • 20:30 - 20:35
    (You can find this with sound on our TikTok☑)
  • 21:00 - 21:04
    This churrasco was so delicious that we're here for the second day in a row.
  • 21:05 - 21:11
    We're eating at the same place, at the same table, in all the same seats.
  • 21:14 - 21:15
    Let's eat!
  • 21:16 - 21:21
    (We took a picture with the chef🍽)
