【雑談】大人になってからの友達との話と余談

Translation & Subtitles: thoseguiltyeyes | scandal-heaven.com

Good evening! RINA here.

I'm at our hotel in Kanazawa.

Today is the day before our world tour concert in Kanazawa.

It's Thursday, April 28th.

TOMO, a manager, a promoter, and I went to eat dinner. The usual.

We four have gone out to eat a lot on this tour. It's nice.

Today's video is chit-chat one.

I'll regularly be sandwiching in chit-chat videos.
(Best regards)

We didn't have any concerts last week

and had some days off.

By chance, I had a lot of time to meet up with friends.

I met up with a lot of them. I met a different friend each day.

We had a gyoza party at a friend's house.

So peaceful, right?

That was my first time going to her place.

I don't really go to friends' houses to eat,

so that made me really happy. And also that I was invited.

That friend lives with her boyfriend.

He came home, and we were like, "Oh, it's already this late?"

I headed home after that.

It was a lot of fun. So nice.

It made me think of how spending time like that is nice.

There are a lot of standard things that I haven't done before.

We got closer after becoming adults,

and it made me think again of how connections like those are amazing.

I was thinking of that as I had fun.

The next day... There was a movie I wanted to see,

and like, you know...

It's a movie that seemed like it'd be right up my alley.

It's a movie called "Hatching."

Any of you guys know about it?

It's a Finnish horror movie,

but the world in the movie was really cute.

It puts together a scary story with this cute worldview.

I've always liked movies like those.

It looked like a movie I'd like,

and I had been wanting to see it ever since I saw a poster of it,

but I didn't think there was anyone who'd want to see it with me.

I didn't think there was anyone

so I thought I'd have to go by myself,

but when I asked my friend who likes movies if they'd heard of it,

they did happen to know about it.

It made me think, "As expected."

So we decided to go together and also eat a meal.

Oh yeah, when I looked at YouTube comments the other day,

there were some that asked me to share what my favorite movies are.

I watch all kinds of movies regardless of genre.

But if I had to say,

I've always liked ones that look cute but are a bit scary.

Right now, I'm writing a column for Movie Natalie.
(Search for "Koyoi mo Akumu [Yume] wo"☑)

I only write about horror movies,

and I write about scary-yet-enjoyable movies.

Those interested, please check that out as well when you have time.

I really do like writing essays,

so having this column really makes me happy.

Then, the next day...

I really didn't have any plans,

but a friend suddenly invited me out to eat.

We went to eat for the time time,

talked about all sorts of things,

It's nice to make plans on a day when you're suddenly able to meet up.

The next day too I abruptly made plans to meet up after work.

Since they can drive, they drove me and we went out to eat.

We were thinking of going home,

but then we wanted to go to the beach,

and they were suddenly like, "You want to go?"

We drove to the beach at a really odd time.

There were really strong winds that day.

We were like, "It's so strong!"

We just saw the ocean for a second, walked around,

and then drove for an hour back.

It was a really nice, fun night.

During those four days I spontaneously met up with a different friend each day.

Since I have a lot of friends in different musical genres,

it's really fun and exciting to listen about their daily lives.

The friends you make after growing up

really are even more special.

That's what I thought during these four days.

I do really like spending time alone,

but days when I meet up with others really are nice.

And this weekend we have concerts.

After Kanazawa is Nagoya.

I can't wait.

It's been 3-4 years since our last time in Kanazawa.

It's been a bit.

I really like Kanazawa Station.

The ceiling right after you get off the train is really pretty.

It makes you go, "I'm definitely in Kanazawa."

Going back to something I mentioned earlier.

When I went for a drive [with my friend],

the scenery I saw as we were driving fast was so beautiful.

There are less cars on the road late at night.

The scenery as you're on the highway

and going under evenly spaced lights is really nice,

so I posted about it in my Instagram Stories.

From the pass...passenger seat...

From the passenger seat,
(You can do it)

I took an Instagram Story

and posted it the following night.

And...

this is just an aside,

and it's a nice story that goes without saying,

but videos and photos like that...

When I post videos and such of me going to places with someone on my off-time,

stuff like, "Who is that?"

or "Who are you with?"

are comments that I received a lot until recently.

So, not wanting you guys to feel gloomy

is something that I'm always considering when I post stuff on social media.

It's something that I did unconsciously.

And since I liked that scenery and that time, I went ahead and posted it.

When I did, there were only positive responses to it.

Like, "You're definitely enjoying your me-time, RINA,"

"Nice!", "That scenery is gorgeous."

Like...

It made me really...happy.

I was just hanging out with a friend,

but it made me think of how things really have changed.

Yeah.

The stance of fans being supportive recently

makes me think that they've changed and matured.

I feel that there are changes in a lot of things.

Our fans are great.

I felt a lot of things.

I hope that what I wanted to say got through to you.

We [the band] have changed how we put out things.

We change the music we make,

and we ourselves also change along with that

in accordance to our ages.

That's because we can now show ourselves exactly as is.

I'm happy about everything.

It's not that important of a topic,

but I feel plenty of emotions from little things.

Things are going well.

I spent my days leading up to our concerts

while meeting up with people who are important to me.

I'll do my best with our two days of concerts starting tomorrow.

I know you guys also have a lot of things you need to do,

so let's have fun and do our best together!

I don't know how to wrap it up.

If I film a video once without doing my makeup properly,

it makes me get too relaxed for the following videos.

I don't usually wear makeup on days when we travel.

So today's video featured me chit-chatting about all sorts of stuff while in my hotel room in Kanazawa.

Those who are able to come out to the venues, let's have fun together!

Also, since leaving comments,

liking my videos, and subscribing to my channel

makes me want to keep working hard,

I hope you can leave some comments if you're able to.

Thanks for watching to the end!

See you in my next video! Bye bye!

-Good work today!
-Good work!

We'll come back to Kanazawa in another four years.

-Thank you!
-Thank you!
