Translation & Subtitles: thoseguiltyeyes | scandal-heaven.com
TOMO is filming a YouTube video with me before rehearsals!

Thanks!

-We're in Nagoya today.
-Yes, Nagoya.

What are we doing?

Yesterday, I asked people to send me questions via IG Stories.

We got so many! Most of them are about love.

-Love?
-Yeah.

-Let's go in order.
-Okay.

"I'll be living by myself starting in April. Please tell me how I can distract myself from feeling lonely!"

(This wasn't about love)

Living alone...

For me, it was relatively fun in the beginning.

It was pretty fun.

When it's just you, you have tons of things around you that you like.

This isn't a tip, but get things that you like.

Like get plants, get tableware you like.

Get stuff that you'll want to come home to.

I think that'd be good.

-Good luck with your new life!
-Good luck!

I'll get to the love-related ones now.

"What should I do when I can't come on strong with the person that I like but want to go out with them?"

We wouldn't know that!

-What to do?
-But that does happen.

Could you do that if there was someone you liked?

If I liked someone...

But I think coming on strong would be doable.

-But this person won't?
-Yeah.

Wait, what does that mean?

-They can't come on strong, but...
-But they do want to go out with them.

What do they mean by coming on strong?

Like there's nothing they can contact them about?

Contact them about something small, and then maybe go out to eat.

Yeah, go out to eat.

-It's important to talk to and get them to know who you are.
-Yeah.

They look really cute from their profile photo.

Eh, it's better for them to come on strong!

"I'm a 24-year-old woman, and for a long time I haven't had much want for love."

-Want for love?
-Yeah.

Ah, want.

"I have little experience in love, which makes me feel embarrassed and impatient. How can I fall in love?"

It happens when it happens.

-It won't happen if you rush it.
-Yeah, that's true.

I don't think having little experience is something to be embarrassed about.

I think finding someone you like will happen naturally.

You don't need to rush.

-It's good to just find things about yourself that you like.
-Yeah.

It's not like you need to fall in love.

That's true. Love...

Even if you have a significant other,

sometimes it's more fun to not have romance be everything.

That's true.

Make sure you love yourself.

-It's okay.
-You don't want the peace to be disturbed.

-That's true.
-It's better to live true to yourself.

Like, you can be all worn-out even if you're madly in love.

I'd want a love that like as well.

That's something that happens when you grow up.

I used to think that having things be exciting was better.

But it doesn't really need to be that way.

Things can be calm.

I see.

But it's definitely important to increase the things that you can enjoy on your own.

"I'd love to know what your recommended iPhone apps are."

Are there any apps that you regularly use?

Not sure. I'll get my phone.

What are some of my frequently-used apps?

-Do you use the default camera app for your Instagram photos?
-Yeah, I do.

I do as well.

We don't use any special camera apps.

-He cheers you up.
-Yeah.

I totally get it.

The app I use the most is Suica [prepaid rechargeable card usually used as a train fare card].

-Ah, Suica?
-Yeah, Suica.

I used PayPay [another prepaid card] for the first time recently.

-I also remembered to use PayPay recently.
-You did?

-I was really nervous to use it.
-Why?

-I was like, "Will this work?"
-Ah, yeah, at first...

-When I first used it...
-It goes "PayPay!"

-Yeah, it did say that.
-It's kind of embarrassing.

-You can set the volume.
-Oh, really?

If you put it here...

-That's loud.
-It is.

-Kindle.
-Ah!

Amazon's reading app.

-What are you reading?
-It's kind of embarrassing.

-You're reading an embarrassing one?
-This one.

Ah, that is embarrassing.

"The MIRROR merch..." The tour we're on is called MIRROR.

"I also love an, the illustrator of some MIRROR merch! I'd love to know how you got to know them."

Through Instagram. I follow them on my private IG account.

I've been following them for a long time.

I really liked their stuff.

Every time we have a meeting regarding merch,

I always say how I'd like to do a collaboration with an.

Since it seemed like it would work out with merch for this tour,

we did do a collaboration with them.

-It was a one-sided love from me.
-You're a fan of theirs.

-We contacted them about it.
-Yeah.

And so they made illustrations based off of our "Kanojo wa Wave" song,

and they turned out to be really cute.

A lot of people have been wearing the shirts at our concerts.

-Yeah, it's easy to tell from the stage.
-It is.

It makes us happy.

'What do you each respect about each other?"

-There are about 10 things.
-That you respect?

-Yeah, like things that I like.
-Things I respect...

You're very diligent.

You're diligent and see things through.

I see. That makes me happy. Thanks!

As for me...

-There are none.
-No, there are! I respect everything about you!

Like how you're naturally talented.

Also, you understand others' feelings.

You're really kind.

"Looking back on your life so far, have there been any dark times?

If so, how did you get back on your feet?"

Dark times...

There honestly haven't been any for me.

-Actual dark times.
-Yeah, actual...

I don't think there have been any.

-There are times when you've felt down, though.
-Yeah, there have been.

But there haven't been any real dark times.

Being blessed to have good people who are always supporting you...

Like, if I have an issue at work, I can talk to my friends about it.

And if I have an issue with friends, my band members are by my side.

I'm very fortunate to have that.

-That's for me personally.
-I see.

Just talking to someone...

Yeah, I have a friend I can talk to about anything.

I don't have a wide range of friends.

-You've always had the same ones.
-Yeah, always the same ones.

I often tell them how my day went.

That's nice.

-Are there dark times for you?
-There are.

-Of course.
-Yeah..

For me...

What do I do?

When I feel down, I usually...

Like, I'll talk with my family if I have any problems.

There are many times when I'm not able to sort things out on my own,

but I solve things on my own. I get them moving.

Being at a standstill is rough,

so I try looking for what I can do and move towards it.

Also, I don't look at social media.

I distance myself a bit from that.

-You did quit Twitter.
-Yeah, I did.

-You were hacked.
-Yeah, that was some coincidental timing.

-It was someone overseas.
-Yeah, someone from Germany hacked it.

-I let them have my followers.
-Yeah.

It might be good to find a way that makes things easier on you.

When you feel that way, it'll make things a little easier if you talk with friends.

But times like that happen for everyone.

"I want to get my first houseplant. Are there any that you two could recommend?"

First houseplant...

-Their first one.
-Their first one.

In that case...

Hm, what would be good?

A pothos plant is really easy to take care of.

You just water it and it'll grow a lot.

-That might be easiest for a first-time plant.
-Choose one that's easy to take care of.

You came with me to get an everfresh.

I wanted one after that and bought it.

-It's so cute!
-It is!

Everfresh look different depending on what time of the day it is,

so you're able to enjoy that change.

-Yeah, you look forward to seeing it after waking up.
-Yeah.

-It looks cool at night.
-It does.

The leaves open up in the afternoon,

and they close at night.

-Also, it grows a lot.
-It does.

-Is it okay to cut it?
-It's better to prune it.

If the leaves overlap too much,

the bottom ones will have a shadow on them and wilt.

-It's healthier to prune some off.
-I see.

Also, spray the leaves so that they don't dry out.

-That's important.
-I see.

Or else scale insects will go on them.

I got a spray bottle.

-You did? The long one?
-Not that one.

-I didn't know if that was okay.
-It'll make things a lot easier.

-I see; the long one...
-But that's fine.

-But it'll make it easier.
-Yeah, a lot.
-I see.

"I love this RINA and TOMO pair! Please tell us how to be positive!"

How to be positive?

How to be positive, huh?

-If you eat something...
-That's totally it.

Food will directly cheer you up.

Eat a lot!

"I am asexual. I like someone, but I'm afraid to open up to them.

I'm afraid because when I've been dumped when I told a person I dated in the past that I'm nonsexual."

They have a bit of trauma.

Things that happened in the past aren't everything.

It happened to be like that for that person,

-but that may only be the case for them only.
-That's totally true.

Everyone feels differently about everything,

and how they perceive things.

Don't think that just because someone thinks one way, that another thinks that as well.

Talk directly to them about the subject.

I think it's important to express things like that.

Having the courage to tell someone what your type is, is a pretty big thing.

It is.

"Which would you choose: Someone whom you really love, or someone who really loves you?"

What do you mean?

(A photographer appeared)

-We're filming a video for RINA's YouTube channel.
-We're filming a YouTube video.

-You did?
-We're filming right now.
-Oh, I see.

-Well, good morning!
-Good morning!

-Did you get it?
-I did.

-I want to capture your facial expressions.
-Facial expressions?

-Those photos you took the other day were really cool.
-Ah, really? Thank you.

-It looked like fun.
-It was.

I had fun.

-It's nice to have fun.
-It is.

-You guys have this cute aspect--
-Thanks.

-But you also definitely have a cool side as well.
-Happy to hear that.

-We're being complimented!
-I want to capture that cool aspect.

That makes us happy.

-I'm looking forward to it.
-We'll do our best.

-Can't wait. I'll do my best.
-Thanks!

We'll act cool.

What we were talking about?

Someone whom you really love, or someone who really loves you.

-Both, right?
-Both are important.

A long time ago...

But, like, I used to be the type that would fall for someone if they told me they liked me.

But I'd still want to fall for someone and confess my feelings to them.

So you'd want someone who won't get you all jumbled up.

Yes, but there's no one like that.

I like to be jumbled up to my liking.

That does happen when it comes to romance.

-So, like, both are important.
-Yeah, both are.

-They are.
-That is true.

-It's difficult.
-Love is difficult.

"What kind of relationships have you had so far? Also, were you able to make use of it in your music?"

Not really.

I wonder.

They've been normal relationships.

-There might be some lyrics that came out of those experiences.
-Ah, perhaps.

Words and stuff.

That's why I think all of them were good experiences.

Rehearsals are about to start soon,

-so let's do one last question.
-Okay.

"After saying 'Yeah!', do you say, 'Meccha holiday'? Or 'Kimi ni aete yokatta'? Or 'Justice'?"
(*Referencing song lyrics)

One, two...

"Yeah! Meccha holiday! Ukiuki na natsu kibou!"
(*Singing "Yeah! Meccha Holiday" by Aya Matsuura)

"Yeah! Zubatto samaa taimu!"

"Norinori de koishitai!"

Bye bye! Thanks!
