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