A change of pace
Theme：RINA

A little while ago,
I suddenly changed my bed sheets to a new design.
I've always had calming colors like brown or beige,
But I got one with a floral print with a white base. It's summer

I've been asked questions like "What kind of room do you live in?", but I basically have all white furniture☺︎The sofa is gray.
I like light colors right now

I love my home

－－－－－－－－－

I'll answer questions I've received.

Q. What's your phone case like?

It's this right now.
tsukasa ohtake × glamb

Q. How do you decide the vocal parts?

Hmー. Because everyone sings.
We talk about pre-production before recording, and we do one that's like a recording rehearsal. At that time we solidify it.
If there's a time where we decide that everyone sings once, we look at the wording of the lyrics and pick the voice that suits it.
Each of the melody lines we're good at differ, and we decide while we try to give a song and a person life.
Generally, the person who made it is the one who fits it the most

Q. Do you have any recommendations for those who don't like to read?

I think a list of text definitely wouldn't be good, so how about putting in books you can see?

For example, there's photo poetry books,

Works with illustrations,
And musical ones to choose from
↑
All of the photographed books in the second picture are works of Kumiko Takahashi-san
I encountered Kumiko-san's words and came to love text and lyrics even more

I've loved novels since I was a child.
My #1 favorite is Kafka on the Shore/Haruki Murakami

Q. Do you have a Facebook?

The members do not have their own.
It looks like there are accounts with the same names!
We've heard from our staff that they're updated at a surprising speed.
That's awesome. Thank you☺︎
Using SNS happily

※Bonus

I'll do my best tomorrow too!

Oh man, the Facebook question...

That cracked me up.

Wa-hey! A Murakami fan in the band. Although I'm sure I remembered one of them mentioned reading Colorless Tsukuru when it first came out.

About the fake FB pages, I note that RINA is somewhat nonplussed about it. Some people would get cheesed off if they know people are creating fake FB/Twitter accounts with their names on it, and for a good reason too.

It's not like she does it every time. And they all sometimes answer to people on their twitter.

Either it's not her style, or - and this is my own opinion - she posts fewer and shorter entries because she's the singer and it's a way to keep things balanced. Even the other members have said she's the natural focal point of the band, so if she posted like this, she'd get too much of the attention. It helps the band as a whole if all the members have their own fans - the four of them have also said this. So it's better for Rina to have as many fans as Haruna does, and Haruna's going to get her fans just by being in front all the time.

I actually think it's more natural if Haruna answers "how do you decide who sings?" but obviously Rina did it here, probably because she's just the one who's the Q&A person in the band now. I'm sure they've all discussed that.

Hum you may be right but to be honest I think it just comes to her personality. Even if they surely discussed something like that, I doubt they have "rules" for these things where they would tell HARU to post less than others and RINA to post a lot because she is the drummer Wink

They surely have some rules where each has to post at least a few blogs/tweets per week or month but I doubt they they would censor or forbid a member to blog/tweet if they want to. A staff member would maybe say something if one of the girls would post a blog every 3 hours ^^

I don't know HARU since 2008 like some fans do so I don't have stats (maybe she was the social queen with blogs when they started like RINA is now, I have no idea!?), but if you look at how many tweets she has and how many blogs she posted in a recent past, it is clear that she is definitely, and by far, the least "social" (using social sites, interacting with the fans) of the 4. And there is nothing wrong with that at all!

Everyone is different and you cannot expect everyone to be as active as RINA and MAMI on blogs/twitter. Or posting the same things. HARU is HARU and it's fine like that .love. .uhuh.

Also, she is 2-3 years older than the others, and while this is surely not a huge generation gap, it may be another factor. But I really thing each person is different and it's just her personality.
