Q&A
Theme：RINA

Q. Have you met someone with the same name as you?

Just one as of right now. The asker has met 12 people (with the same name as them). That's crazy!
My best friend in the same class as me when I was in kindergarten was 『Rina-chan』. The two of us were always one set︎So nostalgic


Q. What's one song that has pierced through your soul?

Renai Spirits/Chatmonchy

These, by far, are my favorite lyrics among the songs I've known up until now. It's not that I've had a love experience like that, but it kind of feels like they're singing about me. I listened to this song every night when the 4 of us were living together. I'm happy to have a song like HARUKAZE written for us. Thank you


Q. What's your favorite type of guy?

I have a feeling that I've answered this before.
What's most important is cleanliness!
Also, someone who's not impatient is goodー


Q. What's your favorite legwear shop?*

There are a lot (of legwear items) I buy after falling in love with them
Cry./TOPSHOP/G.V.G.V.
Are ones whose clothes and socks are cute and I like them
I also buy them normally at sock stores tooー︎


Q. What's a movie you've watched recently?



Interstellar. I cried
Right now, I'm looking forward to Parasyte
I'll read the original work before I go see it!


Q. How do you relax before a live?

When we play lives overseas, the members sequentially drink a cup of Japanese-style soup right before we go on. It's relieving.
It's the moment we realize "We really are Japaneseー"


Q. Will Almond Crush come back?

We haven't disbanded.

But,

Those people only do activities once every several years. They're a carefree unit. Please keep watch over them for a long time with warm eyes︎


Q. What's an anime/manga you've been interested in lately?

Fittingly, Parasyte!


Q. Do you not have your driver's license?

TOMOMI/MAMI have them; HARUNA also wants to try if the timing's rightー!
I like the passenger's seat︎
I want to sway back and forth


Q. What's your favorite nabe?

Soy milk and tomato are good, but I always end up choosing mizutaki. Fukuoka love.


Q. What's the order in which you make songs?

I start from the lyricsー.
At any rate, I like lyrics
Reading and writing them too
An appeal that has lyrics devoted to criteria for choosing a good song or favorite song is key


Q. What do you often order from the Starbucks menu?

For winter, the only option is Caramel Steamer!
The other day when I customized it with soy milk, the sweetness was moderate and was also delicious︎


Q. What do you do when you're feeling down?

I immerse myself in sleeping, waking up, and things I need to do. And so, I get exhausted︎ Although it depends on the reason why I'm feeling down, I really do feel the most frustrated and down when I couldn't say what I was thinking. But, your frustration piles on top of each other when it's prolonged, so, firstly, you go at it at your own pace. Next, do what's best for you. Think of only that!


Q. What's your most favorite song you've composed?

Bitter Chocolate
Maybe,, I like all of them, but this melody might especially be my favoriteー
It's now the season that suits bitter chocolate


Q. Did you have many friends when you were in school?

I think I had just a fewー.
I could talk with everyone, but I have a feeling that I was a "doesn't really spread out deeply" type
It's really just a few now too with about two︎ haha
Cherish those around you


Q. Who's your favorite Disney character?

A! ri! e! l!


Q. What do you do on off-days?

They're mostly preparation days
Preparing for shoots, going to the hair/nail salon, doing maintenance on my joints and such before a live. It's time to sleep before long


Q. What should you bring or prepare for your first SCANDAL live?

There's no doubt that the more you listen to our albums, the more you'll be able to enjoy it︎
Of course it's not a problem if you come without knowing them, but I think there's a pleasant feeling when you hear songs you know. For things to bring, a towel!
Being nimble for a live is best


Q. Do you remember names while you're reading comments?

Yes, I do.
I'm really happy! It turns into energy for me to write a new entry︎


Q. Did you get the latest edition of Pokemon?



Getto da ze!


Q. Did your parents get mad when you stayed up all night practicing when you were a student? What about money?

The cheapest time slot that we could use at the studio was the midnight-to-morning pack, so there were days where we practiced during that time to economize. We did all-nighters when we had long-term holidays. I was a middle school student, and the other three were high school students. We had many chances for long-term holidays. The members would rent and live in an apartment in Osaka! It was fun!


Q. Where in Osaka where you born?

Fukushima Ward


Q. What's the criteria for choosing a live SE (special effects) song?

Mas Que Nada/Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66

We chose this song because of the World Cup this year. I think it expresses the band's mood this year. The members discuss and decide on a song, but since we took it a little easy this year and it feels like we're taking on a fighting pose, this was a perfect fit! It's a song that flips on a great switch


Q. Listening from what song would be the easiest to understand?

I'd like for you to go back from our newest to our oldest onesー! At any rate, 【HELLO WORLD】 is the one I'd like you to listen to the most right now︎
You wrote that you began liking us from the MUSIC DRAGON LIVE and will participate in next year's tour. That's awesome,,
I think 『I'll go to a live』 is the simple, first hurdle. I'm happy that you've taken a step forward. It'll be fun︎


Q. How can you continue to play music for such a long time?

(I'm wondering whether or not to quit after what I've worked hard for until now has turned into something I don't like) is what was written.
If you're wondering whether or not to quit, and if you can quit, I think it's okay to do so. Still, I think that you can continue on for a long time if quitting is not something you can do. I love right now best of all


Q. What's a personal dream of RINA's?

To expand my drum/drummer POP side︎ I think it's an instrument that has just as much softness and glamour as coolness

Uh...I believe you want them to be rephrased more simply? I'll try, but it's kind of hard to do that...

For the first one, RINA says that if the person is thinking about quitting what they're doing and if they can quit, then it is okay for them to quit. But, if they cannot quit, then RINA thinks they'll be able to continue doing it for a long amount of time.

For the second one, RINA basically wants to grow more as a drummer. She thinks that drums are cool, soft, and glamourous.
