Hello, RINA here.
-
It's been a while!
-
This is my first YouTube video of 2021.
-
I've had a lot of free time.
-
Have you guys been doing well?
-
It's been so long that I've kind of forgotten what it's like to speak one-on-one to the camera.
-
I feel kind of nervous as I'm filming this.
-
We had two full weeks off for our New Year's break.
-
I stayed at home the whole time.
-
I usually go back to my hometown,
-
but this year I spent it at my place in Tokyo.
-
How did you guys spend it?
-
Today, I'll just be chatting about different things.
-
So yeah, what did I do over break?
-
Well...
-
Ah, hold on a sec.
-
So...
-
I thought about how I'd have a lot of days off,
-
and that I'd try doing things I've wanted to but hadn't been able to.
-
So, I did a little painting.
-
I didn't know what I'd need, but I just grabbed a bunch of stuff.
-
I've done a bunch different ones.
-
I just went for it.
-
I bought acrylic gouache.
-
I really didn't know what to do,
-
so I just picked up a beginner's set for the time being.
-
I got a paper palette pad too.
-
I put the paints here and did a lot of things.
-
A lot of time passed before I knew it.
-
It was a lot of fun.
-
I did this a hobby--rather, I played around with painting.
-
I'm not that good, but it was fun to do.
-
So, this was the first thing I painted.
-
I dated it.
-
I painted it on January 2nd.
-
My sister who's four years younger than me recently moved.
-
She just moved to a new place, so I thought about giving her a housewarming gift
-
and painted this with my sister in mind.
-
It's cute and has lot of pink.
-
It was so much fun.
-
It made me realize again how talented those who can paint well are.
-
Drawing things like animals...
-
I'm really bad at drawing in general.
-
Everything I try drawing looks warped.
-
(Scary😌)
-
I'm really bad at it,
-
so I wanted to try out painting something abstract with colors
-
and hope to keep painting how I want to whenever I feel like it.
-
Also, I watched drama series and movies the entire time.
-
I spent so much time watching them like there was no tomorrow.
-
I typically watched them on my computer,
-
or on my TV in the living room,
-
or by using a projector set up in my bedroom.
-
I indulged in movies and dramas.
-
I watch pretty much anything,
-
but I do like thrillers,
-
so I watched "Sweet Home," a horror Korean series.
-
I pretty much watched it all in one go.
-
It was really interesting,
-
but it gave me so many nightmares on the day I watched it.
-
(...I look happy🥺)
-
But I like stuff like that.
-
Also, I recently started watching the Korean drama "Familiar Wife."
-
It's been a few years since it aired.
-
I started watching that.
-
This drama makes your heart skip a beat.
-
I watched a bunch of different things.
-
What else can I talk about?
-
Ah, that's right.
-
So, last December,
-
my model friend Seina and I launched "MAKE A WISH DAISY PROJECT,"
-
which we founded to support child care and women.
-
We're carrying that out in different ways,
-
and we wanted to kick it off by making it known to all kinds of people,
-
so we started with a crowdfunding project.
-
We couldn't at all imagine how many people would support it,
-
and we started things off while feeling pretty nervous.
-
We weren't sure what would happen,
-
but so many people have supported it.
-
A lot of people have commented on my YouTube videos saying that they've supported the project by purchasing a crowdfunding item.
-
That's made me very happy.
-
Thank you very much.
-
At any rate, we've passed our initial goal,
-
and right now...
-
We've passed the 300% mark.
-
The crowdfunding aspect will run until January 30th,
-
so if you're interested, or if any items interest you,
-
or if there's anyone still unsure and hasn't gotten anything,
-
please make your decision while the sales period is still going.
-
I happen to have the samples right here.
-
We made candles.
-
We made two kinds.
-
The pink one has a "Floral Musk" scent.
-
It has a very gentle, nice scent.
-
The white one is "Lemongrass."
-
It looks like a lot of people have gone with the Lemongrass scent.
-
We also made boxes for them.
-
Aren't they adorable?
-
The candles will come in these boxes.
-
We're going to personally package these ourselves.
-
We also made a message card.
-
On the back is something that I wrote.
-
Also... hold on a sec.
-
I'm going off to get things a lot today.
-
These satin pajamas are our most popular item as well as our main item.
-
They're brown and have the logo here.
-
The back is simple.
-
The one I have is a sample item so it's not the completed product,
-
but the ones you guys will get will have the text I wrote [on the message card] right here.
-
We designed this so that people of any gender and age can wear them,
-
so wear them and match with me!
-
Since we'll still be spending a lot of time at home,
-
we thought it'd be nice if we could make things that lift up your mood even a little.
-
As for the collected funds,
-
once we subtract the material costs and fees,
-
we will be donating the rest to support groups.
-
So I think this is a great buy.
-
It's gotten a bit promote-y.
-
But we'll be moving the DAISY PROJECT along in a bunch of different ways this year,
-
so it'd make me happy if you guys would look forward to it.
-
What else can I talk about?
-
In 2021...
-
I'm in the all-girl band SCANDAL,
-
and this year is our 15th anniversary year.
-
15 years passed by in no time at all.
-
It'll be the band's 15th anniversary on August 21st of this year,
-
so I think it'll be a special, busy year for the band too.
-
This is coincidental,
-
and I'm sure there are fans who know this.
-
My birthday is August 21st.
-
It's coincidental that my birthday and the band's formation date are the same.
-
I'm turning 30 years old this year.
-
And...
-
I don't think anything's going to change,
-
but it feels like a big milestone numerically.
-
I'm looking forward to it.
-
Yeah.
-
I'll be natural and kind to myself,
-
and I hope we can do things that everyone can enjoy in many ways.
-
This is really late, but I'm looking forward to your continued support this year too.
-
I think that's it for this video.
-
Ah, that's right.
-
I had a shocking experience at the start of the year.
-
My social media accounts comprise of Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and LINE Blog.
-
These are my personal accounts,
-
and my Twitter got hacked!
-
It was so shocking. The members and I were laughing about it, like, "Who's this?!"
-
I couldn't log in at all and couldn't do anything else.
-
For now, I guess I'll be taking a short break from Twitter.
-
I'll be using my IG and YouTube accounts as my main ones,
-
and I'll also be writing blogs here and there.
-
I hope you enjoy my content wherever you'd like to follow me.
-
We don't know what'll happen since times are still tough,
-
and we don't know what'll happen in the future,
-
but the band and I are thinking up of a lot fun things,
-
so we're looking forward to seeing everyone again soon.
-
This has been my first video of 2021.
-
This might have turned out to be another awkward one.
-
We'll be doing things at our own pace this year too, so thank you for your cooperation.
-
Thanks so much for watching until the end.
-
See you in my next video.
-
Later!
-
Bye bye!
