#front-page #ItsMeRINA

That looks a really good buy but sadly my Japanese sucks.

I would love to buy it but my japanese is so bad... Still i used to collect Reina Tanaka's photobooks (still have almost all of them) so maybe i will give it a try as well.

@above

I own several magazines where SCANDAL is featured and I cannot read any japanese

OT: Book looks good, not particularly a fan of fashion so will probably skip this purchase, good for RINA and RINA fans though!

I really like how they featured 'scandal' in the cover in between the two final letters of RINA. it's really cool.

will the interview be all about fashion only? if no, I wonder how different would be the style book contents (about personal life at least) from the one rina already shared in the 'one piece' book.

Yeah, her last book was One Piece, as far as I remember it had a bunch of quotes and poem esque statements. So it most probably very different from this new book.
The cover looks nice and classy, very Rina-ey.

On LINE messenger it was announced a book release event in Shinjuku, at the book store "Fukuya-shoten comic store"

http://www.fukuya-shoten.jp/event/#6385

They sold pre-order tickets for a book sale/handshake event today. (web lottery is available too with restrictions)

(I think they prepared about 500 tickets, there are 3 time slots of different colour tickets.)

I was there when the gates opened at the shopping center, I got number 2 (and 98) hehe 
[For July 16th 13]

[Tip for future events, use gate 2 of the "Subnade" Shopping center as it opens first, not gate 4 which I used and was closest to the store  ]

I meet some fellow Honolulu Ekiden Japan members as well and it was great.
Also bumped in to some tourists/Scandal Fan from Hong Kong as well. Afterwards there was a whole bunch of overseas fans as well. (Maybe some of them are Scandal Heaven members)

I will comment again once the event has been held, me and my 2 other Ekiden team members are planning to go wearing our Hawaii Scandal T-shirts, racing bibs and Medals.

***
There was one point I wanted to add, the person at the front of the line tried to allow 2 of his friend to cut in right before the ticket purchase, I obviously spoke out to the book store staff and had them removed from the line, totally bad etiquette. Other people noticed but I had to take action >_<

***
From Twitter, looks like it got to around 237 at around 5pm https://twitter.com/mizukilovepink/status/744440319580659712
[Store closed at 6pm]

***
The LINE blog was updated with Rina mentioning the book can be ordered on Amazon (currently best seller for "Talent photo book")

Rina also mentioned about the book store event, but the posted wasn't posted until 2016/06/19 21:32, way after the event which ended at 6pm, so it seems it wasn't approved or posted in time >_<

The latest info (From discussion of the Japanese fans who went to Ekiden) for the hand shake event tickets are still available, 3 days ago (20th of June) it got to number 294 at 13:20, a member called the store today and there are still about 100 tickets left. (So I am guessing 500-600 tickets were prepared).

Talking about it because a few of the Ekiden members outside of Tokyo are planning to travel in to Tokyo, so we in Tokyo are helping them get tickets and will meet up of course

***
On morning of June 24th we got tickets around number 330.

I was by the book store yesterday, tickets are still available for Rina's event.

Will somebody translate the book?
My Japanese is lvl 0.

Behind the scenes of shooting for SCANDAL RINA's style book

Shooting with the keyword of "vintage" fashion!
SCANDAL RINA-chan's style book 「It’s me RINA」 will finally be out on 7/15♪ We'll show you behind the scenes of shooting for itー!


In the image spice of protagonist "Mathilda" from the movie 「Léon: The Professional」

On the day of shooting, the fashion theme and one of the style book's main visuals were shot from the early morning. Since RINA-chan likes movies, she wanted to shoot in the essence of the fashion and makeup of Mathilda from her beloved movie 「Léon: The Professional」. With a bit of a rock taste, the focus was on leather and a choker. It was shot with a completely different image of how RINA normally is, so RINA-chan was also surprised, saying, 「I don't look like me!」♪

↑The shoot was checked on in real time on a computer screen. Even if something small happened during shooting, the staff would go in and fix it! 「Fix makeup!」, 「Adjust the hem of these clothes!」, for example♪ There were ultra-fine adjustments like, 「Add a bit on the lips!」 Thus, RINA-chan and the staff too gave it their all with each shot～★

↑Shooting outside of the studio. Since it's a monotone outfit, it was captured perfectly in front of a stylish wall with perfect white walls × black text.

↑This guitar is RINA-chan's real guitar that she keeps for use at home. She brought it along to the shoot!

↑This is abrupt! (haha) These flowers decorated the studio's makeup room on the day of the shoot. It got both RINA-chan & the staff excited: 「Not only the studio, but even the makeup room has a vintage-feel to it; it lifts my mood up～!」♪

This book features 70 of RINA-chan's real casual clothes! RINA-chan put everything together herself♪ This outfit is one of RINA-chan's favorites. Check out the style book for detailsー!

It seems fitting that Rina's into vintage style and fashion since she reminds me so much of Audrey Hepburn in how she carries herself.  She's classy, charming and has a way of looking into the camera that can make you melt.  This should be a great book.

SCANDAL RINA-chan's style book is out today!

Interested in the contents of the book～?

SCANDAL RINA's style book 「It’s me RINA」 is finally out today, July 15th♪ We'll show a bit of the contents todayー!

Doing a "vintage" fashion shoot for the theme of the book!

For this style book, fashion and favorite movies+books are introduced with RINA's favorite "vintage" theme. It's quite voluminous, including 70 casual outfits and particular vintage items♪

We asked RINA-chan! A surging 100Q&A!

We thoroughly asked about RINA-chan! The interrogators are RINA's talent friends Kyary Pamyu Pamyu-san, Yui Kanno-san, Kumiko Funayama-san; SCawaii! models Chipu & Kotsu; the members of SCANDAL; and, of course, questions from the fans!

It ranges from questions about fashion such as 「Q. Tell us your tips for when you're choosing a vintage store!」 to unique, core questions from those close to RINA-chan, 「Q. I've always secretly wondered about this. Ten years ago when the four of us boarded together, you would sleep with your hair swept back and in a bun; do you still do that now? by SCANDAL・HARUNA」♪ What are her answers...!?

A selection of five of her recommended vintage shops!

She shared shops she must go to when shopping and favorite vintage shops. "For buying dresses, I go here," "There's a collection of lovely vintage bags here," "There are a bunch of super cute accessories!" etc. It seems like each shop has its own personality! They are introduced from RINA's viewpoint!

Stylish icon girls from east and west make an appearance and produce outfits

The two stylish girls who are also good friends with RINA-chan in real life and who she often asks for fashion advice proposed vintage outfits from their own point-of-views to RINA-chan! manami-san of the vintage shop 「faith」 who represents Kanto, and Instagrammer Seina-san who represents Kansai came running! The trio's fashion discussion is also a highlight!

・・・etc., etc.♪ In addition, it's a project where fresh, cherished pictures of RINA when she was born and pictures of her school days before debuting have been brought together♪ Check out the style book for more detailsー!

It seems the Style Book is a must buy for all Rina's fans (domestic & overseas). @thoseguiltyeyes your translation really is helpful!

SCANDAL RINA-chan's untold story about first loveー♥

---

For RINA, SCANDAL is youth itself

SCANDAL RINA-chan's style book 「It’s me RINA」 was finally released on 7/15♪ It contains things about fashion, of course, and her looking back on thoughts and happenings related to activities she's done so far as SCANDAL・RINA～. RINA-chan talked about how 「SCANDAL is youth itself」 during her interview. 「For me, "youth" will forever continue on for as long as I'm in this band.」 The reason why she said that is...!? She passionately talked about love and ways of thinking related to the band and about music activities from the beginning!


Her first love was in her first year of middle school♥　It was the senior in the ●● club!

A love story that gets exciting with conversations between girls～♥ is also in it～! Since the writer, editors, and the other staff members were a～ll girls! (haha) during her interview, the interview room somehow turned more into a "girls party!?" than an interview (haha). The interesting "Who was her first love? Also, the fate of that love・・・♥"

There's still a bit left of the article that I need to finish translating. Will update this post with it soon!

I attending the event today, I bumped in to Manager Arisa first, I overheard them talk about the misspelling of Bus/Bath towel for the 10th Anniversary goods  Yay they fixed the spelling.

I had ticket number 2 and 98, I was with 4 other Ekiden 2016 members, we lined up in a hallway a little away from the book store. (Afterwards I also said hi to 2 other Ekiden members who came later)

You show your book ticket and were given another plastic ticket "to prevent line jumping".
If you had multiple tickets, you would go back to the line and line up again to grab another plastic ticket.

We were taken to the final lining up area located outside the book store, the media were still taking photos till about 11am, so we could see and hear the flashing of photos still being taken etc.

Eisuke saw me at the front of the line and nudge Arisa and said "that guy from the Ekiden trip" hah.
We were told by the book store staff that there would be some filming taking place, if anyone was not ok with this to speak up, obviously no one mind.

We drop our bags in some trays, i.e. airport TSA style and then go up to the final area, my first round, we had a bit more time to speak and chat, I was wearing my 88Tees T-shirt and Ekiden bib (Ekiden group #846, 4 of us decided to wear out 88Tees T-shirt and bib.)

So Rina remember "ah the Hong Kong guy", hah I explained I lived in Tokyo and there were some other Ekiden members in line as well and some other chit-chat for about 20-30secs (it felt like), Rina grabbed my hand, hah I forget it was a hand shake event, we got our book and one of the 3 random photos, after which we exit pick up our bags and get a plastic bag for our book and photo.

Other fans mentioned about the 88Tees being sold at Feedback and Eisuke said "sorry...." 

The second time round was very fast, Eisuke spotted me in line again, Rina smiled and I remembered to hand shake this time round, a few words and I was out again.

The 3 photos that were given out, (I only got top 2 different photo, 3rd photo courtesy of fellow Ekiden member.)



After which my Ekiden team members visited the locations used for Time Me Out Single cover, I will mention in another thread. Thanks.
